Activation of oncogenic signaling enhances sensitivity of mlt heterozygotes to oxidative stress.

(A, B) Lateral views of live, menadione treated 5 dpf axin mutant larvae that express mutant KRAS in the intestinal epithelium (Kras-axin). (A) Hypertrophy of the intestinal epithelium in a Kras-axin larva that is homozygous for the wildtype myh11 allele (mlt +/+) larvae is unchanged by treatment with menadione. (B) Menadione treatment causes pronounced cystic expansion of the posterior intestinal epithelium of the Kras-axin mlt heterozygote (arrowheads) that resembles the homozygous mlt phenotype. Inset, immunolabeling of the basal lamina (laminin, green) and epithelium (cytokeratin, red) shows epithelial cell invasion through the basement membrane. (C–E) Histological cross-sections through the intestine of immunostained larvae show invasive cells in menadione treated Kras-axin mlt heterozygotes (arrowheads; D, E). Invasion is not detected in menadione-treated Kras-axin mlt larvae that are homozygous for the wildtype myh11 allele (C).
