Protein kinase C and growth regulation of malignant gliomas.
This article reviews the role of the signal transduction enzyme protein kinase C in the regulation of growth of malignant gliomas, and describes how targetting this enzyme clinically can provide a novel approach to glioma therapy.
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of c-ROS receptor tyrosine kinase expression in malignant gliomas.
The proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase c-ROS is an orphan receptor whose normal expression pattern is tightly spatio-temporally restricted during development. In glioma, c-ROS mRNA expression is frequently ectopically up-regulated. In this study, we determined by immunohistochemical means that c-ROS receptor protein is present in 25% of low-grade and 30% of malignant glioma tumor samples from tissu...
متن کاملTargeting protein kinase C: new therapeutic opportunities against high-grade malignant gliomas?
A large body of evidence suggests that the abnormal phenotype of neoplastic astrocytes, including their excessive proliferation rate and high propensity to invade surrounding tissues, results from mutations in critical genes involved in key cellular events. These genetic alterations can affect cell-surface-associated receptors, elements of signaling pathways, or components of the cell cycle clo...
متن کاملRegulation of protein kinase C.
Protein kinase C has been in the spotlight since the discovery two decades ago that it is activated by the lipid second messenger diacylglycerol. Despite protein kinase C's enduring stage presence, the regulation and specific roles of its isozymes in defined cellular processes are still under intense investigation. Elucidation of the structures of protein kinase C's regulatory modules, the disc...
متن کاملProtein kinase C: structure, function, and regulation.
The protein kinase C family of enzymes transduces the myriad of signals promoting lipid hydrolysis. The prevalence of this enzyme family in signaling is exemplified by the diverse transduction mechanisms that result in the generation of protein kinase C's activator, diacylglycerol. Signals that stimulate members of the large families of G protein-coupled receptors, tyrosine kinase receptors, or...
