Ras promotes mTORC2 activation in transformed MCF10A and breast cancer cells. AKT phosphorylation at the mTORC2-dependent site (S473; pAKTS473) and total AKT proteins were detected by immunoblot as described in the Materials and Methods section. Immunoblots of pERK, ERK, HER2, and Ras were used as controls and performed as described in the Materials and Methods section. (A) pAKTS473 levels in HER2/MCF10A and HRasCA/MCF10A and cells compared with their respective MCF10A control cells. (B) MCF10A and HER2/MCF10A cells were pretreated with PTIs or 0.2% DMSO control. (C) MCF10A and HER2/MCF10A cells were pretreated with Pan-Ras siRNAs or nontargeting (NT) siRNA control. (D) The indicated breast cancer cells were treated with PTIs or 0.1% DMSO control. Graphs represent pAKTS473 over total AKT levels quantified by densitometry and normalized to the control conditions ±SD of at least three independent experiments. *, p < 0.05.
