Role of protein kinase C-δ in the regulation of collagen gene expression in scleroderma fibroblasts
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Working with cultured dermal fibroblasts derived from control individuals and patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), we have examined the effects of protein kinase C-δ (PKC-δ) on type I collagen biosynthesis and steady-state levels of COL1A1 and COL3A1 mRNAs. Rottlerin, a specific inhibitor of PKC-δ, exerted a powerful, dose-dependent inhibition of type I and type III collagen gene expression in normal and SSc...
