The field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSP) recordings in CA1 region of PTEN CKO mice in brain slices. (A) The input-output curve in CA1 by stimulating Schaffer-collaterals was not significant difference between PTEN CKO and WT mice (n = 12 from 5 mice for WT, n = 18 from 7 mice for CKO; Main effect of stimuli, F(4,112) = 85.57, P < 0.0001; Main effect of group, F(1,28) = 0.00065, P = 0.9798; Interaction effect of group x stimuli, F(4,112) = 0.02257, p = 0.9990). (B) Paired-pulse facilitation was significantly enhanced in PTEN CKO mice as compared with WT mice (n = 6 from 3 mice for WT, n = 7 from 3 mice for CKO; Main effect of interval, F(4,44) = 98.89, P < 0.0001; Main effect of group, F(1,11) = 18.93, P = 0.0012; Interaction effect of group x interval, F(4,44) = 2.241, P = 0.0799. Sidak’s post hoc test. P = 0.0159 at 50 ms; P = 0.0074 at 100 ms; P = 0.0019 at 150 ms; P = 0.0507 at 200 ms; P = 0.4654 at 1000 ms). (C) Short-term augmentation at 20 Hz was also significantly enhanced in PTEN CKO mice as compared with WT mice (n = 9 from 3 mice for WT, n = 11 from 4 mice for CKO; Main effect of stimuli, F(29,522) = 88.3, P < 0.0001; Main effect of group, F(1,18) = 4.576, P = 0.0464; Interaction effect of group x stimuli, F(29,522) = 2.524, P < 0.001). (D) Long-term potentiation was not significantly different between PTEN CKO and WT mice (n = 13 from 6 mice for WT, n = 8 from 4 mice for CKO; Last 2 min, t = 1.043, P = 0.3096; P > 0.05). Data presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed by using student’s t test or Two-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s post hoc analysis.
