...In accordance, the PI3K-specific chemical inhibitor LY294002 abrogated not only constitutive, but also H2O2-promoted, Akt phosphorylation, which indicates that ROS upregulated phosphorylated Akt in a PTEN/PI3K/PIP3-dependent manner and not via alternative mechanisms acting directly on Akt (Figure 4F)....

...Although most PTEN present in TAIL7 cells was in the reduced form, there were constitutively detectable levels of oxidized PTEN, which were further upregulated by addition of exogenous H2O2 and abrogated by in vitro treatment with the reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT; Figure 4C)....
