From: Frataxin deficiency unveils cell-context dependent actions of insulin-like growth factor I on neurons

Figure 5

IGF-I acts through mTOR in frataxin-deficient cells and normal neurons. IGF-I stimulates frataxin in a rapamycin (100nM) sensitive way in frataxin-deficient astrocytes (A) and neurons (B). C, IGF-I increases phosphorylation of mTOR in neuronal cultures. Representative blot are shown; the upper blots correspond to frataxin and the lower blots to β-actin (n=3-4, independent experiments). *p<0.05; **p<0.01.
