Figure 2. FIGURE 2: The TSC complex links p38 to PDCD4.

(A) BMDMs from Tsc2^fl/fl and Tsc2^Lyz2 were cultivated with or without rapamycin for 12 hours. (B) Tsc1^+/+ and Tsc1^−/− fibroblasts were non-starved or serum-starved as indicated and subsequently, cell lysates were prepared. (C) Tsc1^+/+ and Tsc1^−/− fibroblasts were serum-starved overnight. Afterwards, cells were treated with the indicated inhibitors for 90 minutes followed by Aniso stimulation for 2 and 4 hours, respectively. (D) Tsc2^+/+ and Tsc2^−/− fibroblasts were non-starved where indicated or were serum-starved overnight. Inhibitor treatment of cells for 90 minutes preceded 4 hours of Aniso treatment. Cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting. (E, F) BMDMs from Tsc2^fl/fl and Tsc2^Lyz2 mice were pretreated with the inhibitors BIRB796, rapamycin, Torin 1 or MG-132 for 90 minutes and subsequently elicited with LPS or Aniso for 4 hours.
