    Summary

    Triphenylstibine exposure in Drosophila melanogaster larvae causes developmental defects and alters gene expression in giant chromosomes. This metalorganic compound notably inhibits puff evolution during metamorphosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Biology
    • Genetics
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Metalorganic compounds can induce various biological effects.
    • Drosophila melanogaster is a model organism for studying genetic and developmental processes.
    • Giant chromosome puffs are indicators of gene activity and regulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of triphenylstibine on Drosophila melanogaster larvae.
    • To analyze the impact of triphenylstibine on gene expression patterns in giant chromosomes.
    • To identify novel effects of triphenylstibine during insect metamorphosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Supplementation of the nutrition medium for Drosophila melanogaster larvae with triphenylstibine.
    • Observation and documentation of morphological modifications in larvae.
    • Cytological analysis of giant chromosomes to study puffing activity.

    Main Results:

    • Triphenylstibine induced multiple phenotypic modifications, including rough eye, wing incision, and small bristles.
    • Cytological analysis revealed that triphenylstibine induces new puffs and alters the activity of existing puffs in giant chromosomes.
    • A novel inhibitory effect of triphenylstibine on puff evolution during metamorphosis was observed, affecting approximately 15% of puffs.

    Conclusions:

    • Triphenylstibine acts as a teratogen in Drosophila melanogaster, causing significant developmental abnormalities.
    • The compound disrupts normal gene regulation by altering puff dynamics in giant chromosomes.
    • Triphenylstibine's inhibition of puff evolution represents a new mechanism of toxicological impact during development.
