Data Set 2: Uncropped Western Blots, Fig. 1b and Fig. 2b

This dataset contains 7 uncropped western blots in .pdf format for phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and isoform PTEN-L in mouse brain and in primary neuronal cell cultures. These correspond to figures 1b and 2b of the related article: Unique properties of PTEN-L contribute to neuroprotection in response to ischemic-like stress.The related study investigates the function and regulation of PTEN-L in neurons in the context of brain ischemia. Exogenous, EGFP-tagged PTEN-L or the shorter variant PTEN were expressed in primary neurons after knock out of endogenous PTEN. Oxygen-glucose deprivation or exposure to 50 µM glutamate were applied to neurons to test their response to ischemic-like stress.Methods Figure 1 | PTEN-L protein isoforms vanish upon genomic PTEN ablation in neuronal cultures. (b) Primary neuronal cultures from conditional PTEN knockout mice were transduced with Cre delivering lentiviral particles. Immunoblotting against PTEN at different time points after Cre transduction showed changes in PTEN protein isoforms, as described in the related research article. Uncropped western blot images are displayed and described respectively.

Dose-dependent changes of the pAkt/AKT ratio both cells expressing PTEN:HA and PTEN-L:HA isoforms are reported in the related research article. Uncropped western blot images are displayed and described respectively.
