Three tissue samples from each patient will be transferred to the Hsueh laboratory in Stanford (attached letter), and will be thawed for in vitro activation followed by xeno-transplantation using the same protocol as that described by Li et al. from that laboratory. (Li et al. 2010). The in vitro incubation will be in bpV(pic) (Calbiochem), a PTEN inhibitor, which allows the activation of dormant follicles. and a cell-permeable phospho-peptide (740Y-P) (Tocris) capable of binding to the SH2 domain of the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K to stimulate enzyme activity. Activated PI3K converts phosphatidylinositol (4, 5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) to phosphatidylinositol (3-5)-trisphosphate (PIP3), whereas the PTEN inhibitor prevents the conversion of PIP3 back to PIP2. Accumulated PIP3, in turn, could stimulate the phosphorylation of Akt and increase the nuclear exclusion of the transcriptional factor Foxo3.
