AKT1 and infection: In M. bovis-infected bMECs, intracellular M. bovis was encapsulated by membrane-like structures, the expression level of LC3-II and Beclin1 protein decreased at the middle stage of infection, degradation of SQSTM1/P62 was blocked, autophagy of bMECs was inhibited, and PI3K-Akt-mTOR protein was activated by phosphorylation.
