(a) BMDM were treated with 100 nM rapamycin or solvent control for 18 h. Whole cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. (b) Freshly differentiated C57BL/6J BMDM were starved from CSF1 for 0, 4 and 12 h. Cells that were deprived from CSF1 for 12 h were then restimulated with 40 ng/ml CSF1 for 12 or 24h. Whole cell lysates of the time points were analyzed by immunoblotting. (c) C57BL/6J BMDM were stimulated with 10, 20, 30 and 40 ng/ml CSF1 for 24 h. Whole cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting. (d) C57BL/6J BMDM were deprived of CSF1 for 12 h. Afterwards, they were either harvested or treated with 250 nM Torin1 or solvent control, and stimulated with 20 ng/ml CSF1 for 24h. Whole cell lysates of the time points were analyzed by immunoblotting. (e) Representative IHC of CDK4 in liver sections of 3 month-old Tsc2fl/fl and Tsc2fl/fl,Lyz2-Cre mice. Scale bar, 100 μm. (f) Human monocyte-derived macrophages were treated with 100 nM rapamycin or 250 nM Torin in the presence of 20 ng/ml CSF1. Whole cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting. (g) Analysis of CSF1-induced proliferation of Tsc2fl/fl and Tsc2fl/fl,Lyz2-Cre BMDM treated with solvent or the indicated amounts of SC-203873. Shown are means ± s.e.m. (n= 4). (h) BMDM were treated with 1 μM PD-0332991 or solvent control and stimulated with 10 ng/ml CSF1 for 18 h. Whole cell lysates of the time points were analyzed by immunoblotting. Results are representative of two (a-f,h) or cumulative for two (g) individual experiments.
