p110α inhibition does not prevent loss of self-renewal or block mESC
differentiation. (A) mESCs were treated with the p110α inhibitors 15e or
PIK-75 for 4 days, at the doses indicated, in the presence or absence of LIF.
The average percentage of alkaline-phosphatase-positive colonies, with s.e.m.
(n=3), is shown, ***P<0.001 following a
Student's t-test. (B) The average number of self-renewing
alkaline-phosphatase-positive and non-self-renewing colonies in each condition
is shown with s.e.m. (n=3). (C) mESCs cultured in the presence of LIF
were treated with TGX-221 for 4 days in the presence or absence of 600 nM 15e.
Self-renewal was assessed by staining for alkaline-phosphatase activity and
the average percentage of alkaline-phosphatase-positive colonies, with s.e.m.,
are shown (n=4). ANOVA (P=0.002) and Dunnett's post-hoc test
were applied; **P<0.01.
