Cells were lysed as described elsewhere.21 Equal amounts of protein (50 μg/sample) were analyzed by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes, and immunoblotted with the antibodies at 1:1000 dilution: p27Kip1, actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), PTEN, and p-Akt (S473; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA). Immunodetection was performed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase–conjugated anti-mouse (1:5c000), anti-rabbit IgG (1:10c000), or anti-goat (1:5c000) (Promega, Madison, WI) and developed by enhanced chemiluminescence (Amersham-Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ).
