lin-14 protein is first observed in embryos at ~7 hours after fertilization where most intense staining is seen in intestinal and hypodermal nuclei. ~9 h after fertilization, additional weak staining is observed. lin-14 protein is expressed at high level in the nuclei of most of the post-embryonic blast cells. Intense nuclear staining was observed in the hypodermal blast cells H1, H2, V1-V6 and T and in all of the intestinal (E) cells and weaker staining was observed in both neuroblasts Q1 and Q2, in the mesoblast M cell and in P cells (P1/2, P3/4 and P5/6). During L1, staining is seen in the progeny of the hypodermal blast cells H1, H2 V1-V6 and T and in all of the intestinal (E) cells. Staining in P-cell nuclei fades before migration into the ventral nerve cord but reappears later in some of their progeny cells. The embryo-derived nuclei in the hypodermal syncytial cell hyp7, ABarpppapa, ABplaapppp, Cpaaaa, Cpaapa, Cpaapp, Cpapaa, all stain for the lin-14 protein during the L1 stage. Terminally differentiated nuclei from embryonic body muscle also accumulate the lin-14 protein. Nuclei of many but not all neuronal cells stain with the antibody (e.g. BDU, ALM, CAN but not HSN). All of the embryonically generated ventral cord neurons and some but not all of the neurons of the nerve ring and the posterior ganglion accumulate the lin-14 protein in their nuclei during the L1 stage. Late L1 stage, staining is seen in all nuclei except in the neuronal nuclei staining is much weaker. In addition, more neurons of the nerve ring and posterior ganglion stain than at the earlier stages. Thus, in the hypodermal and intestinal cell lineages, lin-14 protein level peaks during early L1 and fade entirely by L2. In the many neuronal cells, lin-14 protein peak during mid to late L1 and fade by L2. Pn.p accumulates lin-14 protein at the L3 stage, although, very weak staining is seen before the Pn.p cells divide. This staining fades by early L4, In occasional L2 and L3 stage animals, weak staining is observed in nuclei and cytoplasm of hypodermal, neuronal and intestinal cells. Patches of staining in hypodermal or intestinal nuclei is only rarely observed in very old adults. In most adults, staining reappears only in the mature oocyte nuclei of hermaphrodites at meiotic prophase I when the chromosomes are condensed. The oocyte nuclear staining disappears after fertilization. Quantitation of immunoblots show that the level of lin-14 protein relative to a pharyngeal myosin control decreases >= 25-fold from L1 to L2. |

In summary, PEB-1 accumulated in L1 larvae in the nuclei of all hypodermal cells and the epithelial cells lining the rectal lumen. As in the pharynx, PEB-1 was not detectable in neuroblasts or differentiated neurons. PEB-1-expressing cells are not obviously related by cell type or lineage. Rather, one striking common feature of these cells is that they contact the cuticle on the exterior of the worm or lining the pharyngeal or rectal lumen. Like in the pharynx, PEB-1 was first detected in the hypodermal nuclei in comma stage embryos (approximately 400 min) and remained detectable until hatching. In 1 1/2-fold stage embryos, the PEB-1 protein was detected in the nuclei of most, if not all, hypodermal cells including hyp5, hyp6, and hyp7 and the H, P, and V cells. After hatching, PEB-1 remained detectable in most hypodermal cells although it decreased in later larvae and was undetectable in adults. In the L1 lateral hypodermis, the PEB-1 protein was detected in H0, H1, H2, V1 to V6, and T, and their anterior and posterior daughters, as well as in the nuclei of the hyp7 syncytium. PEB-1 was also detected in many of the dorsal and ventral hypodermal nuclei in the head and the ventral hypodermal nuclei in the tail. Notably, PEB-1 was not detected in larval P cells. In addition, PEB-1 was not detected in other neuroblasts including Q and T.p. PEB-1 was also expressed in cells lining the lumen of the hindgut. In 1 1/2-fold embryos (approximately 420 min), PEB-1 was detected in many nuclei near the posterior of the embryo. These likely include both the posterior hypodermal cells and hindgut cells, although these cells cannot be easily distinguished at this stage. In L1 larvae, PEB-1 was detected in many of the non-neuronal nuclei surrounding the rectal lumen, including K, K', U, F, B, and Y. PEB-1 was not detected in the rectal-intestinal valve or the anal depressor muscle. As in other tissues, the PEB-1 protein remained detectable in the hindgut throughout larval development but became progressively less abundant and undetectable in adults. Importantly, this progressive decrease in PEB-1 expression also occurs in Y, which withdraws from the hypodermis during late larval development to become a neuron. |

At the beginning of embryonic morphogenesis, all ten pairs of lateral epidermal cells, the seam cells, express cdh-3::lacZ. cdh-3::GFP expression in these cells is observed at hatching and throughout subsequent postembryonic development. During the last larval stage (L4) the 15 pairs of seam cells generated during larval development fuse to form two continuous lateral syncytia, surrounded by hyp7. cdh-3::GFP expression correlates with seam cell identity during these postembryonic divisions; it is not observed in daughters that fuse with hyp7 or adopt other fates. In embryos undergoing morphogenesis, lacZ is expressed in a single large nucleus, whose size and position is consistent with that of the excretory cell. This identification is reinforced by the observation that in many newly hatched L1 larvae, low levels of GFP expression are visible in the excretory cell. This expression of cdh-3-reporter genes was observed only during late embryogenesis and in some newly hatched L1s (the latter may be due to perdurance of the GFP fusion protein), but not at later stages. Several other cells expressed the cdh-3 reporter constructs during embryonic morphogenesis; as in the seam cells this expression continued upon hatching. In the tail two cells, hyp10 and hyp11, show strong GFP expression that persists only during the first larval stage. Strong expression was observed in cells that form interfacial epithelia between the intestinal epithelium and the epidermis. Two cells that form part of the rectal epithelium, designated F and U, express cdh-3::GFP during embryonic morphogenesis and throughout larval development. In the anterior of embryos undergoing morphogenesis there were several cells expressing cdh-3::lacZ, and in larvae and adults, GFP expression is seen in nine cell bodies located just anterior to the first bulb of the pharynx. Processes extend anteriorly from these cell bodies and terminate at the level of the buccal capsule. Based upon the location of the cell bodies and the morphology of the processes, these cells were identified as the anterior and posterior arcade cells. Expression pattern of the pJP#38 construct in males indicated expression in the male tail and several male-specific neurons, however the expression pattern is complicated and the cell identity were not determined. cdh-3::GFP expressed in the developing hermaphrodite vulva. GFP first expressed in the anchor cell in L3 larvae. A little later expression were seen in those vulval cells that are closest to the anchor cell and are beginning to invaginate. As vulval morphogenesis continues all of the cells that invaginate to form the vulva are expressing GFP. During this period, the uterine epithelium closest to the invaginating vulval cells begins to express cdh-3::GFP and the anchor cell fuses with the multinucleate uterine seam cell (utse), which also begins to express cdh-3::GFP. Expression continues in these cells into the adult stage, though at somewhat reduced levels, which may perhaps be due to perdurance of the fusion protein, since older adults show much reduced fluorescence compared with younger ones. During the time that the vulva is forming, cdh-3::GFP expressed in the six VC neurons located in the ventral nerve cord and the two HSNs located just posterior and dorsal to the developing vulva. These cells begin to extend processes at about this time, and GFP expression continues in these cells and their processes throughout the remainder of larval development and into adulthood. |

CYE-1 is present in adult animals and is restricted to the germline, which is the only proliferative tissue in adults. CYE-1 levels vary in the germline. Mitotic germ cells in the distal region of the gonad have easily detectable levels of nuclear CYE-1. Germ cells in the initial stages of meiosis (proximal to the mitotic germ cells) have lower CYE-1 levels. Finally, as oocytes cellularize in the loop region of the gonad, CYE-1 levels increase with mature oocytes having the highest levels of nuclear CYE-1. These results demonstrate that a significant portion of maternal cye-1 contribution to the embryo is CYE-1 protein. CYE-1 level was assayed postembryonically to determine whether CYE-1 could be detected and if levels of CYE-1 correlated with mitotic proliferation. CYE-1 protein is detectable in larval blast cells that give rise to all tissue types, including, germline, intestine, hypodermis, neurons, and muscle. During larval stages, the level of CYE-1 protein is much lower than that found in germ cells or in the early embryo. CYE-1 antibody staining is restricted to the developmental time when the blast cells are undergoing active proliferation. For example, in the L1 stage, proliferating P blast cells that produce ventral nerve cells have relatively high levels of nuclear CYE-1. In contrast, during the L2 larval stage, the nonproliferating neuronal descendents of the P blast cells have CYE-1 levels that are only barely detectable above background. Further, while a subset of the P cell descendents, the vulva precursor cells (VPCs), will proliferate in the L3 larval stage to produce the vulva, these cells do not have appreciable CYE-1 levels while they are quiescent in the L2 larval stage. Nuclear CYE-1 becomes detectable in the VPCs during the L3 larval stage when they begin proliferation. CYE-1 becomes undetectable in the VPC descendents after completion of cell divisions in L4 larval stage animals. Monoclonal anti-CYE-1 antibody was used to assay CYE-1 levels from fertilization to the end of embryogenesis. In the zygote, CYE-1 is observed in the maternal and paternal pronuclei as soon as they form. The specificity of antibody staining was confirmed by cye-1 RNAi treatment of adult hermaphrodites that abolishes both oocyte nuclei and embryonic anti-CYE-1 protein staining. In early embryos, CYE-1 is enriched in nuclei, and levels appear constant with no evidence of cell cycle fluctuations other than during mitosis. During mitosis, CYE-1 antibody staining appears diffuse once nuclear envelope breakdown occurs, but resumes nuclear localization upon reformation of the nuclear envelope in telophase. CYE-1 is present equally in all cells of the early embryo. The level of CYE-1 declines during embryogenesis and disappears from most cells in comma-stage embryos coincident with the completion of the majority of embryonic cell divisions. |

egl-18 is asymmetrically expressed in larval seam division daughters with stronger expression in the posterior seam-fated cells in which the Wnt pathway is activated. All ten seam cells in newly hatched L1 larvae showed strong egl-18 expression. After their first division, egl-18::mCherry expression was asymmetric between the daughters, with stronger expression in the posterior daughters that maintain the seam cell fate. Expression in the anterior daughter faded after division, before the hypodermal daughters moved out of the seam cell line. During the L2 stage, several seam cells undergo a symmetric expansion division, generating two seam daughters and increasing the seam cell number from 10 to 16 (Sulston and Horvitz, 1977). In the early L2, strong symmetric expression of egl-18::mCherry was seen in both seam-fated daughters of these divisions. When these seam-fated daughters underwent their subsequent L2 and L3 stage asymmetric divisions, reporter expression faded in their anterior, hypodermal-fated daughters as observed in the L1 stage. In the adult, differentiated seam cells continue to show strong expression of the egl-18::mCherry reporter as described previously (Budovskaya et al., 2008). |

rnt-1::GFP is visibly expressed in the nuclei of seam cells in embryos from around 260 minutes post fertilisation, just after the time at which seam cell are formed. Seam cell expression in both males and hermaphrodites is visible during all developmental stages, but is particularly strong until late L2. In males, rnt-1::GFP is expressed additionally in seam cell derived ray precursor cells and ray sublineages. rnt-1::GFP is also expressed transiently in body wall muscle nuclei from late embryogenesis until the end of L2. rnt-1::GFP expression was not observed in any other cell types. Expression of rnt-1 has been previously reported in intestinal cells, but no intestinal expression was found using this rescuing GFP reporter construct. |

The pattern of gfp expression in hermaphrodites carrying the gfp reporter was dynamic but at all stages restricted to hypodermal cells. Early in the L1 stage, expression was seen in H0, H1, and H2, in the anterior V cells, and in the T cells. Weak expression was also seen in hypodermal nuclei in the head and the tail, including those in hyp5, hyp6, hyp8, hyp9, and hyp10. Expression was not seen at this stage, however, in the P cells or in nuclei in the hyp7 syncytium. After division of H1, both H1.a, a seam cell, and H1.p, which joins hyp7, expressed gfp. Likewise, after division of V1V4 both the anterior daughters (which join hyp7) and the posterior daughters (which remain seam cells) expressed gfp. This pattern was repeated at each of the larval molts with the result that in adult worms, all descendents of H1, H2, and V1V4 expressed gfp. At the end of the L1 stage, V5.p could be seen to express gfp but not V5.a, which is a neuroblast. In the P cell lineages, expression was first seen toward the end of the L1 stage in P1.p, P2.p, P9.p, P10.p, and P11.p nuclei. These cells fuse with hyp7 during the L1 stage. Expression of gfp was not seen, on the other hand, in the daughters of P3 to P8 or P12 (all of which remain separate from hyp7). By the end of the L1 stage most nuclei in hyp7 expressed gfp, as did those in hyp5, hyp6, hyp8, hyp9, hyp10, and hyp11. After division of P3.p, P4.p, and P8.p during the L3 stage, all six daughters started to express gfp concomitant with their fusion with hyp7. The daughters of P5.p, P6.p, and P7.p, the progenitors of the vulva, remained negative for gfp expression as did all the cells they subsequently gave rise to. In adult worms, no hypodermal nuclei that failed to express gfp could be identified. Conversely, no nonhypodermal nuclei were observed at any stage that expressed the gfp marker. |

UNC-130 is expressed strongly in embryos and in L1 larvae. Expression is severely reduced or absent in later larval and adult stages. Embryonic expression is first observed at about the 60-cell stage, when it is expressed in the nuclei of four cells. As embryogenesis continues, UNC-130 becomes more broadly expressed in several cell types. Double-stained embryos with antibodies against the LIN-26 protein that stain hypodermal cells found strong UNC-130 expression in the ABp(l/r)aapapa cells, which give rise to the AWA and ASG neurons. At this developmental stage, UNC-130 is also expressed in several other neuronal precursors including the ABp(l/r)aapapp cells, which are the precursors to the AIB interneurons and the ASI chemosensory neurons. In addition, UNC-130 is expressed in other cell types, including the hypodermal cells hyp4, hyp5, hyp6, hyp7, H0, and H1, as determined by colocalization with LIN-26 antibodies. Colocalization of UNC-130 with ODR-7 and tax-2::GFP in wild-type animals failed to observe colocalization of UNC-130 with either of these markers. |
