Regulation of NADPH Oxidase 5 by Protein Kinase C Isoforms
NADPH oxidase5 (Nox5) is a novel Nox isoform which has recently been recognized as having important roles in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, fetal ventricular septal defect and cancer. The activity of Nox5 and production of reactive oxygen species is regulated by intracellular calcium levels and phosphorylation. However, the kinases that phosphorylate N...
متن کاملProtein kinase C as a tumor suppressor.
Protein kinase C (PKC) has historically been considered an oncoprotein. This stems in large part from the discovery in the early 1980s that PKC is directly activated by tumor-promoting phorbol esters. Yet three decades of clinical trials using PKC inhibitors in cancer therapies not only failed, but in some cases worsened patient outcome. Why has targeting PKC in cancer eluded successful therapi...
متن کاملAkt phosphorylates and regulates Pdcd4 tumor suppressor protein.
Programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4) is a tumor suppressor protein that interacts with eukaryotic initiation factor 4A and inhibits protein synthesis. Pdcd4 also suppresses the transactivation of activator protein-1 (AP-1)-responsive promoters by c-Jun. The Akt (protein kinase B) serine/threonine kinase is a key mediator of phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway involved in the regulation of cell prolife...
متن کاملReversing the Paradigm: Protein Kinase C as a Tumor Suppressor.
The discovery in the 1980s that protein kinase C (PKC) is a receptor for the tumor-promoting phorbol esters fueled the dogma that PKC is an oncoprotein. Yet 30+ years of clinical trials for cancer using PKC inhibitors not only failed, but in some instances worsened patient outcome. The recent analysis of cancer-associated mutations, from diverse cancers and throughout the PKC family, revealed t...
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...
