Tissue was homogenized, or cultured cells washed, and then lysed in complete RIPA buffer as described previously [50 (link)]. Primary antibodies (Ab) used: AR (sc-816), PI3K p110β (sc-376641), β-actin (sc-47778), GAPDH (sc-32233), and α-tubulin (sc-5286) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA); AKT1 (#2938), AKT2 (#3063), AKT3 (#8018), AKT3 (#14982), AKTpoS473 (#9018), AKTpoS473/4 (#9271), AKT2poS474 (#8599), AKTpoT308 (#4056S), phospho-AKT substrate RXXS*/T* (#9614S), PRAS40 (#2691S), PRAS40poT46 (#2997T), PTEN (#9552), and PI3K p110α (#4249) from Cell Signaling Technologies (Beverly, MA); SMAD4 (ab-40759) from Abcam (Cambridge, MA); SSeCKS/Akap12 [12 (link)]. Between 15 and 35 µg of total protein per sample was separated by SDS-PAGE for IB.
