Abstract excerpt
PKCδ increases keratinocyte differentiation and suppresses keratinocyte proliferation and survival. However, the mechanism of proliferation suppression is not well understood. The present studies show that PKCδ overexpression increases p21(Cip1) mRNA and protein level and promoter activity and that treatment with dominant-negative PKCδ, PKCδ-siRNA, or rottlerin inhibits promoter activation. Analysis of the...
