AMP expression levels in TmRelish-knockdown Tenebrio molitor larval hemocytes upon Escherichia coli (Ec), Staphylococcus aureus (Sa), and Candida albicans (Ca) infection on the third day post-TmRelish silencing. The AMP genes used for analysis include TmTenecin-1 (A), TmTenecin-2 (B), TmTenecin-3 (C), TmTenecin-4 (D), TmDefensin-1 (E), TmDefensin 2 (F), TmCecropin-2 (G), TmColeoptericin-1 (H), TmColeoptericin-2 (I), TmAttacin-1a (J), TmAttacin-1b (K), TmAttacin-2 (L), TmThaumatin-like protein1 (M), and TmThaumatin like protein2 (N). dsEGFP was used as a negative control and TmL27a was used as an internal control. Numbers above the bars indicate AMP mRNA expression levels. All experiments were repeated thrice with similar results. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-tests (p < 0.05) and ns: not significant.
