Protein kinase C (PKC) modulates the function of the capsaicin receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). This modulation manifests as increased current when the channel is activated by capsaicin. In addition, studies have suggested that phosphorylation by PKC might

Neurotransmitter release from rat brain synaptosomes was measured following pretreatment with various phorbol esters. Ca2+-dependent, evoked neurotransmitter release was increased by phorbol esters that were active in stimulating protein kinase C. Protein kinase C activation was demonstrated by increased incorporation

There is substantial evidence that the tumor promoter 4 beta-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) elicits enhanced arachidonic acid release and its metabolism to prostaglandins and lipoxygenase products in many cell types. The goal of this study was to determine whether 4 alpha-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (4

Significant variability exists in the outcome of renal parenchymal inflammation following urinary tract infection (UTI) in childhood as some children experience renal parenchymal scarring (RPS) while others do not scar. Since TGF-beta1 is pro-fibrotic, we examined the role of this

B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), the most common human leukemia, is characterized by predominantly non-dividing malignant mature CD5+ B lymphocytes with an apoptosis defect. Various microenvironmental stimuli confer a growth advantage on these leukemic cells and extend their survival in vivo.
