The translational level of caspases was reduced in the dsRhEcR-treated group in Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides. The quantitative analysis of salivary gland proteome changes was performed by TMT isobaric labeling followed by shotgun analysis. a A heat map was plotted based on the set of apoptosis-related, autophagy-related, and other proteins that were significantly decreased and increased (P < 0.05) at least 1.2-fold from the E 72h group compared with the E 0h group. b The heat map was plotted based on the set of apoptosis-related proteins that were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) at least 1.2-fold and increased (P < 0.05) at least tenfold from the dsRhEcR-treated group compared with the dsLuciferase-treated group
