“…2E). Wingless, best known for its role in establishing and maintaining segment polarity during embryogenesis, is a highly pleiotropic signaling protein with many independent roles in development (29)(30)(31)(32). Most relevant, Wg is required for pattern formation in the adult Drosophila abdominal epidermis (33).…”

“…This input is provided by the wingless (wg) gene, expressed in segmentally repeated stripes of cells that lie next to en-expressing cells 8,9 . The wg protein, which is homologous to the product of the proto-oncogene Wnt-1 ( ref.…”

“…This restriction requires expression of en by posterior cells 3,4,7 . But it seems that the onset of localized en expression in early embryos is not sufficient to irreversibly determine posterior compartment identity because en requires at least one cell-extrinsic input at this time.This input is provided by the wingless (wg) gene, expressed in segmentally repeated stripes of cells that lie next to en-expressing cells 8,9 . The wg protein, which is homologous to the product of the proto-oncogene Wnt-1 ( ref.…”

“…En effet, par immunolocalisation et analyse en microscopie électronique, Wingless est majoritairement détecté dans les endosomes des cellules épidermiques embryonnaires de la drosophile [8,9]. Sur la base de cette observation, il a donc été suggéré que ce morphogène se propage au sein de ce tissu par transcytose « planaire » (c'est-à-dire dans le plan de l'épithé-lium), par analogie à la transcytose trans-épithéliale qui désigne le transport vésiculaire entre le domaine basal et le domaine apical des cellules épithéliales [10].…”
