Park(A) A representative immunoblot demonstrating reconstitution of PTEN expression via adenoviral delivery. (B) A representative immunoblot for phospho-PDGFRb demonstrating decreased expression with administration of PDGFR inhibitor compared with vehicle controls. (C and D) Cell proliferation assays assessed by the MTS method for C18 cell line (PTEN +/-) and UCH1 cell line (PTEN +/-), respectively, demonstrating decreased proliferation with restoration of PTEN and administration of PDGFR inhibitor. *P<0.05, Two sample independent student’s t test compared with untreated control. **P<0.05, Two sample independent student’s t test compared with PDGFR inhibitor group.
