Protein kinase Cδ and c-Abl kinase are required for transforming growth factor β induction of endothelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro. [PDF]

, 2011
OBJECTIVE: The origin of the mesenchymal cells responsible for the intimal fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) has not been fully identified. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether subendothelial mesenchymal cells may emerge through ...

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Alkylacylglycerolipid domain of GPI molecules of Leishmania is responsible for inhibition of PKC-mediated c-fos expression

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are the most abundant molecules present in the membranes of the parasitic protozoa Leishmania responsible for multiple forms of leishmaniasis.

Protein Kinase C Life Cycle: Explained Through Systems Biology Approach

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Protein kinase C (PKC) enzymes are a family of kinases that mediate signal transduction originating at the cell surface. Most cell membranes can contain functional PKC enzymes.

Extracellular signal-regulated kinases mediate the enhancing effects of inflammatory mediators on resurgent currents in dorsal root ganglion neurons [PDF]

, 2019
Previously we reported that a group of inflammatory mediators significantly enhanced resurgent currents in dorsal root ganglion neurons. To understand the underlying intracellular signaling mechanism, we investigated the effects of inhibition of ...

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Intramolecular C2 Domain-Mediated Autoinhibition of Protein Kinase C βII

Cell Reports, 2015
The signaling output of protein kinase C (PKC) is exquisitely controlled, with its disruption resulting in pathophysiologies. Identifying the structural basis for autoinhibition is central to developing effective therapies for cancer, where PKC activity ...

RNA interference screening reveals host CaMK4 as a regulator of cryptococcal uptake and pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2017
Cryptococcus neoformans , the causative agent of cryptococcosis, is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that kills over 200,000 individuals annually. This yeast may grow freely in body fluids, but it also flourishes within host cells.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Repression of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase transcription by bile acids is mediated through protein kinase C in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
Inhibitors of protein kinases were screened for the ability to prevent the repression of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase mRNA by taurocholate in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes.
