Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have implicated protein kinase C (PKC) activation in drug resistance in vitro. PKC can be activated directly by phorbol-ester tumor promoters as well as by the bile acid deoxycholate. In this report, we demonstrate that deoxycholate, at concentrations that are chronically present in the lumen of the colon in vivo, mimicked phorbol-ester tumor promoters by protecting Adriamycin (ADR)-sensitive and...
