WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11257

• Pattern: The mir-80::mCherry reporter exhibit a broad cellular expression pattern, somewhat similar to the published extra-chromosomal array line (vulva, hypodermis, body wall muscle, head neurons, tail neurons, excretory cell, dorsal/ventral nerve cord, and weaker expression in intestine [anterior or posterior] and pharynx). The pattern is distinctive in exhibiting highest expression in the two most anterior gut cells and in posterior gut under high food conditions. Interestingly, mir-80 does not appear expressed in the ASI neurons in any lines.

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
