PIM (proviral integration site) kinases are a distinct class of serine/threonine-specific kinases consisting of PIM1, PIM2 and PIM3. PIM2 is known to function in apoptosis pathways. Expression of PIM2 is highly induced by pro-inflammatory stimuli but the role of PIM2 in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines is unclear. In this study, we showed that over-expression of PIM2 in HeLa cells as well as in human...
