Effect of PTEN or SHIP2 down-regulation on MAPK activation. Scrambled or PTEN- or SHIP2-specific siRNA–transfected N2A cells were differentiated in the absence (MF) or chronic presence (MFI) of insulin for 3 d and stimulated with or without insulin (100 nM) for 30 min. (A) Cell lysates were subjected to Western immunoblotting and probed with anti–phospho-ERK (panel A), anti-ERK (panel B), anti–phospho-p38 (panel C), anti-p38 (panel D), anti–phospho-JNK (panel E), or anti-JNK (panel F) antibodies. For checking knockdown of PTEN and SHIP2, cell lysates were subjected to Western immunoblotting and probed with anti-PTEN (panel G), anti-SHIP2 (panel H), or anti-actin (panel I) antibodies. (B) Bar diagram representing relative densitometric values of pERK after normalizing with ERK expression (pERK/ERK). (B) Bar diagram representing relative densitometric values of pp38/pJNK after normalizing with p38/JNK expression (pMAPK/MAPK). All experiments were repeated thrice, and a representative result is shown. Values are mean ± SE. **p < 0.01 compared with lane 1; $$p < 0.01 compared with lane 2; ##p < 0.01 compared with lane 3; θθp < 0.01 compared with lane 4. Open bars, MF; solid bars, MFI. IB, immunoblotted.
