Silencing Frizzled 2 (Fz2) inhibits the expression and activity of selected components in the target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling pathway. (A–C) Show the mean expression levels of Rheb, TOR, and S6K at 2 days after emergence (DAE), respectively, in dsGFP- and dsFs2-treated Cyrtorhinus lividipennis. Relative mRNA levels were determined by comparison with standard curves using each gene and normalized using β-actin. (D) Shows the phosphorylation of S6K in fat body isolated from dsGFP- and dsFz2-treated C. lividipennis at 2 DAE. Phosphorylation was detected by Western blot analysis using phospho-p70-Thr-389 S6K polyclonal antisera; the loading control (β-actin) was analyzed using anti-β-actin antisera. Expression data points are from three independent biological replicates and are presented as the mean ± SEM.
