It is thought that high glucose levels can result in decreased PTEN expression and decreases in PTEN phosphatase activity [14]. | |||||||||||||||

|
On the basis of previous work demonstrating that chronic acetaminophen (N-acetyl p-aminophenol, APAP) intake (30 mg/kg body weight/day) can be safely (e.g. in the absence of hepatotoxicity) used to prevent age-associated hyperglycemia [23], and other findings suggesting that elevated glucose levels can induce iNOS expression [19], [20] while reduce PTEN expression [14], we tested if this type of treatment regimen would also be effective in improving Akt function. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
It is possible that the normalization of blood glucose by acetaminophen may contribute to the increased PTEN expression. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
This increase in PTEN protein appeared to parallel decreases in the amount of Akt-Thr308 phosphorylation which support the notion that a loss of PTEN protein with aging may contribute to the hyper-phosphorylation of Akt, and that acetaminophen intervention may function in reducing Akt phosphorylation by increasing PTEN levels. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Whether changes in PTEN expression alone or if the presence of other factors is required to explain the effects of aging on Akt expression and phosphorylation will require further investigation. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Paradoxically, these increases in Akt phosphorylation were associated with diminished mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) phosphorylation, along with decreased levels of insulin receptor beta (IR-?) | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As shown in Figure 4B, the relative gene expression of PTEN, P53, RhoC and RAS in SP from HCC cells were significantly lower than in fetal liver cells. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
PTEN expression was detected in all cases irrespective of the phase of the menstrual cycle or use of oral contraception. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Our results showed that MI increased myocardial PTEN protein expression in GK but not in Wistar rats (Figure 5A). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In GK rats, MI induced an increase in PTEN protein expression, reduced Akt phosphorylation and a concomitant decrease in FOXO3a phosphorylation which might have contributed to the increase in cardiomyocyte apoptosis seen here. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In the GK rat myocardium, Akt- and FOXO3a-phosphorylation was decreased and nuclear localization of FOXO3a was increased concomitantly with increased PTEN protein expression. | |||||||||||||||
