Expression levels of AMPs in TmRelish-silenced Tenebrio molitor Malpighian tubules upon Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans infection. qRT-PCR expression profiles of 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 protein-1 (M), and TmThaumatin like protein-2 (N). dsEGFP was used as the negative control and TmL27a was used as an internal control. All experiments were performed at least thrice, and statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-tests (p < 0.05); ns: not significant.
