Protein Kinase C and Apoptosis
The protein kinase C (PKC) family consists of ten structurally related serine/threonine protein kinases. PKC isoforms are critical regulators of cell proliferation and survival and their expression or activity is altered in some human diseases, particularly cancer. The development and utilization of PKC isoform specific tools, including dominant inhibitory kinases, mouse models in which specifi...
متن کاملCardiac actions of protein kinase C isoforms.
Protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms have emerged as important regulators of cardiac contraction, hypertrophy, and signaling pathways that influence ischemic/reperfusion injury. This review focuses on newer concepts regarding PKC isoform-specific activation mechanisms and actions that have implications for the development of PKC-targeted therapeutics.
متن کاملRegulation of docetaxel-induced apoptosis of human melanoma cells by different isoforms of protein kinase C.
Our previous studies showed that docetaxel-induced apoptosis of human melanoma cells was dependent on the activation of the c-jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway but was inhibited by the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1/2 pathway. However, the mechanisms by which these pathways were modulated by docetaxel were not clear. We report here that docetaxel induces activatio...
متن کاملNuclear protein kinase C isoforms: key players in multiple cell functions?
Protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes are a family of serine/threonine protein kinases categorized into three subfamilies: classical, novel, and atypical. PKC isozymes, whose expression is cell type-specific and developmentally regulated, are key transducers in many agonist-induced signaling cascades. To date at least 10 different PKC isotypes have been identified and are believed to play distinct re...
متن کاملNuclear localization of protein kinase C.
Introduction A key issue in defining signal transduction pathways is understanding how signals generated at the plasma membrane are communicated to the nucleus. A number of studies have implicated a role for protein kinase C (PKC) in nuclear function. For example, the transcription of many genes, including c-fos and those coding for plasminogen activator, interferon and interleukin-2, is increa...
