Fig. 2. Cells expressing COQ-8::GFP in adult stages. COQ-8::GFP has been found widely expressed in cells including different types of neurons. (a) Dorso-ventral projection of the anterior region (head). ASIR and ASIL sensory neurons and AVKL and AVKR ring interneuron expressed COQ-8::GFP. (b) Left lateral projection of ASIL and AVKL neurons showing intense COQ-8::GFP signal. (c) Detail of the posterior region (tail) where PVT, PVQL and PVQR ventral cord interneurons together with PHAL and PHAR sensory neurons showed marked GFP fluorescence. (d) Detail of fluorescent PVDR mechanoreceptor neuron on the right side of the animal. (e) Ventral projection of the animal showing GFP-marked VC3, VC4, VC5 and VC6 motorneurons of the ventral nerve cord. VC1 and VC2. (f) Muscle cell GFP expression pattern detail. Spindle-shaped cells of the muscular quadrants implicated in the sinusoidal movement expressed the GFP along the body of the animal. Striated GFP expression pattern of the sarcoplasm due to the actin-myosin filaments (red arrows) and innervations from adjacent motoneurons (blue arrows) were detected. (g) Head nervous system expression pattern details. GFP was found in amphids (Am) sensory neurons, the pharyngeal ring (Pr) interneurons, and axonal processes projected into the dorsal (Dc) and ventral (Vc) nerve cords. (h) Coelomocytes GFP expression pattern detail. Fluorescence was detected in coelomocytes (arrows), scavenger cells of the body cavity fluid. Oxidative metabolism is supposed to be highly active in these cells.
