AMP expression levels in TmIKKε-knockdown T. molitor larval gut upon microorganism challenge. E. coli (Ec), S. aureus (Sa), or C. albicans (Ca) were injected into TmIKKε-silenced T. molitor larvae. The transcriptional expression levels of TmTene1 (A), TmTene2 (B), TmTene3 (C), TmTene4 (D), TmDef (E), TmDef-like (F), TmColeA (G), TmColeB (H), TmCec2 (I), TmAtta1a (J), TmAtta1b (K), TmAtta2 (L), TmTLP1 (M), and TmTLP2 (N) were measured using qRT-PCR. EGFP dsRNA was used as a silencing control, and TmL27a was used as an internal control. Data represent the mean ± SE of three independent biological replicates. Asterisks indicate significant differences between dsTmSpz5- and dsEGFP-treated groups when compared using Student’s t-test (p < 0.05).
