In short, the total RNA was dephosphorylated using calf intestinal phosphatase then decapped using tobacco acid pyrophosphatase to target full-length messenger RNAs.
First, PTEN's protein phosphatase activity is able to down-regulate focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation, which leads to the inactivation of the Ras/MAP kinase pathway [ 19 20 21 ] . Second, its lipid phosphatase activity targets the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 ] and thereby blocks activation of the protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) pathway [ 11 18 22 23 24 ] . Whereas both of the above pathways are intimately involved in the control of cell growth and survival, PTEN-regulated FAK activity further appears to impinge on cell adhesion, cell migration, and cell invasion [ 20 21 ] . It therefore emerges that the loss of PTEN activity may confer increased survival ability, proliferative potential, and invasive capacity on cells, and thereby may promote progression towards a more malignant phenotype.
StAR plays a key role in the initial steps of steroidogenesis, because it is required for transport of cholesterol to the inner mitochondrial membrane where CYP11A1 resides and the first reaction in progesterone synthesis occurs [ 45 ] . cAMP is a well known second messenger in FSH- and LH-stimulated progesterone synthesis, and a key effect of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in GC is transcriptional control of StAR [ 46 47 ] . Estradiol is recognized as a biological amplifier of basal, FSH- and cAMP-stimulated progesterone production in pig GC, with significant synergistic effects distal to the generation of cAMP at one or more steps in cholesterol transport and metabolism [ 48 ] . Our experimental results are thus consistent with 4-AP inhibition of GC progesterone output via drug effects on multiple interacting sites in the steroidogenic pathway.
