A NF2 KO Schwann cells have reduced AKR1C1, 2 and 3 mRNA levels compared to isogenic NF2-WT controls, assayed by Q-RT-PCR. Bars = mean ± SD. Dots = biological replicates. Significance by one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. n = 4 biological replicates B NF2 KO Schwann cells have reduced AKR1C3 and increased ACSL3 protein levels compare to isogenic NF2-WT controls. C NF2-KO Schwann cells have reduced ME1 mRNA levels, assayed by Q-RT-PCR, compared to NF2 WT isogenic controls. Bars = mean ± SD. n = 3 biological replicates, Significance by one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. D NF2-KO Schwann cells have reduced levels of ME1 protein compared to NF2-WT isogenic controls. E NF2-KO Schwann cells have reduced ME1 activity compared to NF2 WT isogenic controls. Bars = mean ± SD. n = 7 biological replicates. Significance by two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. F NF2-KO Schwann cells have reduced G6PD activity compared to NF2 WT isogenic control cells. Bars = mean ± SD. Significance by one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. n = 5 biological replicates. G NF2-KO Schwann cells have a reduced NADPH/NADP+ ratio compared to isogenic controls. Dots = biological replicates. Bars = mean ± SD. Significance by one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. n = 8 biological replicates. H ME1 mRNA levels are significantly reduced in NF2 mutant and cystic vestibular schwannomas from patients compared to control vestibular nerve. Data are re-analyzed from33. Dots = individual patients. Bars = mean ± SD Significance by Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA and Dunnetts’s multiple comparisons test. I AKR1C1, 2 and 3 mRNA levels are consistently reduced in different types of vestibular schwannomas (VS: sporadic, cystic and NF2) compared to control vestibular nerve. Data are re-analyzed from33. Dots = individual patients. Bars = mean ± SD. Significance by Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA and Dunnetts’s multiple comparisons test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
