Figure 5.
(A) PTEN−/−MEFs were serum starved for 48 h and treated with H2O2 as indicated for 10 min. Protein lysates were analysed for pAktSer473 as described before. (B) PTEN−/−MEFs were infected with retrovirus expressing GFP–PTEN. After 5-day selection in puromycin (2 μg/ml), MEFs were serum starved, exposed for 10 min to H2O2 and analysed for Prdx1 oxidation and formation of dimeric structures by non-reducing SDS–PAGE. *Prdx1 hetero-dimer formation with other Prdxs. (C) PTEN−/−MEFs were infected with retrovirus expressing shPrdx1, GFP–PTEN, H-RasV12 or various vectors carrying resistance gene only (pBabe, pMKO1). MEFs were plated in soft agar. Colonies were counted after 21 days. *P<0.001 (Student's t-test). (D) As under C, except MEFs express ErbB-2/neuT instead of H-rasV12. **P<0.039 (Student's t-test). (E) Immunoblotting of MEFs from (C and D).
