Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C betaII (PKCbetaII) promotes colon carcinogenesis. Expression of PKCbetaII in the colon of transgenic mice induces hyperproliferation and increased susceptibility to colon cancer. To determine molecular mechanisms by which PKCbetaII promotes colon cancer, we established rat intestinal epithelial (RIE) cells stably expressing PKCbetaII. Here we show that RIE/PKCbetaII cells acquire an invasive...
