Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Embryos, isolated from adult worms grown on OP50 with no added heme, expressed the hrg-1::gfp reporter in all somatic cells post-gastrulation. However, as the embryo entered the 100-cell stage, GFP was significantly enhanced in intestinal precursor cells, compared to the surrounding cell types. As the embryos matured, GFP expression was continually maintained in the presumptive intestinal cells but was undetectable in non-intestinal cells. These results indicate that although hrg-1 is initially expressed in all somatic cells of the C. elegans embryo, hrg-1 expression is greatly enhanced in early intestinal cells with either a concomitant loss of activation or active repression in non-intestinal cells. Primary Identifier  Expr9141
Remark  Diminished GFP was observed when embryos were isolated from worms grown at 20 uM heme. Picture: Fig. 1C, Supplemental Video 1.

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages. intestine gut WBbt:0005772
