## Abstract Exponential proliferation of human melanoma cells has been associated with low levels of protein kinase C (PKC)βΞ±. The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional relationship between PKCβΞ± and melanoma cell proliferation. Treatment of human melanoma cells with the select

β¦ Synopsis
657 (N.S., U.K.), Japan It has been shown that tumor-promoting phorbol ester, 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), stimulates the proliferation of normal human melanocytes, whereas it inhibits the growth of human melanoma cell lines. The expression of protein kinase C (PKC) subspecies, the major intracellular receptors for TPA, was examined in normal melanocytes and the four melanoma cell lines HM3K0, MeWo, HMV-I, and C361. PKC was partially purified and then separated into subspecies by column chromatography on Mono Q and hydroxyapatite successively, and finally subjected to immunoblot analysis using antibodies specific for

We have investigated the pattern of expression of classical (β£, β€I, β€II, β₯), novel (β¦) and atypical () protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms during the course of human hematopoietic differentiation along the closely related megakaryocytic and erythroid lineages. Using in situ immunofluorescence analysis,
LIM1215 colon cancer cells were used as a model of human colonic epithelium to examine the effects of butyrate on protein kinase C (PKC) activity and isoform expression. On Western blot analysis, LIM1215 cells express the PKC isoforms β£, β€, , , and , but not β₯, , or . Treatment with 2 mM butyrate fo
