Fig. 2

The westernblot analysis shows phosphorylation of rpS6 by T. gondii to activate mTORC and prevent autophagy formation. Dephosporylation of rpS6 at the protein level by azathioprine suggests the similar effects of azathioprine and rapamycin in activating autophagy. * P value < 0.05; ** P value < 0.01. AZA: azathioprine; Rap: rapamycin; rpS6: ribosomal protein S6; ACTB: β-actin; NC: negative control
