High PKC α and Low E-Cadherin Expression Contribute to High Migratory Activity of Colon Carcinoma Cells
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
The protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine/threonine kinases that are key regulatory enzymes involved in growth, differentiation, cytoskeletal reorganization, tumor promotion, and migration. We investigated the functional involvement of PKC isotypes and of E-cadherin in the regulation of the locomotion of six human colon-adenocarcinoma cell lines. The different levels of the PKC alpha and the E-cadherin...
