“…41 In general, our finding in the Bombyx fat body is consistent with the previous observations that autophagy emerges during insect metamorphosis. [14][15][16][17]21,27,28,[34][35][36][37] Atg gene expression profiles. Eleven putative Atg genes, including Atg1, Atg3, Atg4, Atg5, Atg6 (ortholog of yeast VPS30 and human BECN1), Atg7, Atg8, Atg9, Atg12, Atg16 and Atg18, have been identified in the Bombyx genome.…”

“…21,[27][28][29][30][34][35][36][37]39 Neither autophagosomes nor autolysosomes appeared during the feeding larval stages, i.e., 5L-4. Small autolysosomes occurred at W, and double-membrane bound autophagosomes were occasionally observed.…”

“…To assess gene expression changes during developmental autophagy in Drosophila larvae, we manually dissected fat bodies before and after the developmental induction of autophagy from feeding (60 h after hatching from the egg, Figure 1a) and wandering (84 h after hatching from the egg, Figure1b and e) larvae. 6,7 Samples were processed and cDNAs were hybridized to a microarray containing 3200 annotated Drosophila cDNAs. 17 About 1941 of the 3200 genes investigated were expressed in the fat body.…”

“…1,3,4 In Drosophila and other insects undergoing complete metamorphosis, the larval fat body acts as a store of proteins and other materials, which are released through autophagy to provide energy and nutrients during metamorphosis and early adulthood. [5][6][7][8] The fat body, an analog of the human liver, is a polytenic tissue that grows in mass approximately 200-fold in feeding Drosophila larvae during the larval stages. After reaching an optimal mass, mature larvae stop eating and wander away from the food to find a suitable place for pupariation.…”
