Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that overexpression of the epsilon isoform of protein kinase C (PKCepsilon) in rat colonic epithelial cells causes malignant transformation, possibly by interacting with the ras signal transduction pathway (Oncogene 12: 847, 1996). We have now performed experiments to examine certain early steps in the ras signaling pathway. A marked increase of Raf-1 phosphorylation was detected in...
