Figure Lengend Snippet: Deletion of MAL-D and CCG-1423-derived inhibitors reduce hsp gene induction upon HS. Related to . A. Validation of MAL mutant flies. Expression of MAL-D and Act5C mRNAs in heterozygous (mal-dΔ7/+) and homozygous (mal-dΔ7) MAL-D mutant fly ovaries. Data is from three biological replicates and normalized to mal-dΔ7/+ values. The bar indicates the mean, individual data points are shown and error bars are standard errors of the mean (s.e.m). Statistical significances with student’s one-way t-test (*; P< 0.05). P-values: Mal-dΔ7/+ vs Mal-dΔ7 for Mal-d is 8E-7, Mal-dΔ7/+ vs Mal-dΔ7 for Act5c is 0.09. B. Knockdown efficiency of double stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) targeting different regions of MAL-D. Expression levels of MAL-D mRNAs in S2R+ fly cells treated with non-targeting dsRNA (dsGFP) and dsRNAs targeting MAL-D (dsMal-1-4). Data is from four biological replicates and normalized to dsGFP values, and shown as in A. Statistical significance with student’s one-sample t-test (*; P< 0.0125 with Bonferroni correction). P-values: dsMal-1 vs dsGFP is 0.002, dsMal-2 vs dsGFP is 0.002, dsMal-3 vs dsGFP is 0.016 and dsMal-4 vs sGFP is 0.039. C. Effect of MAL-D dsRNAs on Hsp70Aa mRNA induction. Fold changes in Hsp70Aa induction upon heat shock in S2R+ fly cells treated with MAL-D dsRNAs as in B. Data is from four biological replicates,and shown as in A. Statistical significance with one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test (*; P< 0.0125 with Bonferroni correction). P-values: dsMal-1 vs dsGFP is 0.99, dsMal-2 vs dsGFP is 0.89, dsMal-3 vs dsGFP is 0.99 and dsMal-4 vs dsGFP is 0.99. D. Effect of 16h incubation with CCG-derived compounds on Act5C expression. Expression levels of Act5C mRNA in S2R+ cells treated with DMSO, CCG-1423 and CCG-203971 for 16 h. Data is from four biological replicates, normalized to DMSO values and shown as in A. Statistical significance with one-sample student’s t-test (*; P< 0.025 with Bonferroni correction). P-values: CCG-1423 vs DMSO is 0.006 and CCG-203971 vs DMSO is 0.024. E. Effect of 16h incubation with CCG-derived compounds on baseline expression of hsp genes. Expression level of Hsp68 and Hsp70Aa mRNAs in S2R+ cells treated with DMSO, CCG-1423 and CCG-203971 for 16 h. Data is from four biological replicates, normalized to the DMSO values and shows as in A. Statistical significance with student’s one-sample t-test (*; P< 0.025 with Bonferroni correction). P-values: CCG-1423 vs DMSO for Hsp68 is 0.055, CCG-203971 vs DMSO for Hsp68 is 0.39, CCG-1423 vs DMSO for Hsp70Aa is 0.06 and CCG-203971 vs DMSO for Hsp70Aa is 0.19. F. Effect of 16h incubation with CCG-derived compounds on heat shock induction of hsp genes. Fold change in Hsp68 and Hsp70Aa mRNAs upon 30 min heat shock in S2R+ cells treated with DMSO, CCG-1423 and CCG-203971 for 16 h. Data is from four biological replicates and shown as in A. Statistical significance with student’s one-sample t-test (*; P< 0.025 with Bonferroni correction). P-values: CCG-1423 vs DMSO for Hsp68 is 3E-8, CCG-203971 vs DMSO for Hsp68 is 0.047, CCG-1423 vs DMSO for Hsp70Aa is 8E-8 and CCG-203971 vs DMSO is 0.013. G. Effect of 30 min incubation with CCG-derived compounds on Act5C expression. Expression level of Act5C in S2R+ cells treated with DMSO, CCG-1423 and CCG-203971 for 30 min. Data is from five biological replicates, normalized to DMSO values and shown as in A. Statistical significance with student’s one-sample t-test (*; P< 0.025 with Bonferroni correction). P-values: CCG-1423 vs DMSO is 0.212, CCG-203971 vs DMSO is 0.468.
