Abstract excerpt
Increased levels of the protein kinase C (PKC) isoenzymes alpha and theta occur in conjunction with MDR1 gene expression in cells and tissues that have acquired a multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype. Studies using PKC activators or antisense strategies against PKC suggest that activation of PKC engenders MDR1 gene transcription. In this study the potential roles of PKC-alpha and PKC-theta in MDR1 gene...
