IPC increases Akt localization to the plasma membrane through PTEN signaling pathway. A-B: Distribution of Caveolin (Cav)-3 and Akt in subcellular fractions. Isolated hearts from WT or PKO mice were treated with no ischemia (CON), I-10/R-5 (IPC), IPC+LY (LY20094, 10 μM), or CON+AI (Akt Inhibitor, 20 μM). Subcellular fractionations were performed with sucrose gradient centrifugation. Equal volumes of cell lysates were loaded onto SDS PAGE gels. Protein expression of caveolin (Cav)-3 was measured. Representative blots from at least three independent experiments. C: Akt protein levels in Cav-3-enriched fractions. Equal amounts of protein from Cav-3-enriched fractions were loaded. N = 4/group, *: p<0.01 vs. CON/WT or IPC/LY; #: p<0.01 vs. CON/PKO.
