Abstract |
Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family appear to play important roles in colorectal carcinogenesis. To investigate the potential involvement of PKC isozymes in adenomatous transformation induced by inactivation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene product, we examined protein levels and localizations of ten PKC isozymes by immunohistochemistry in normal and adenomatous ileal epithelium of ApcMIN mice. Compared with surrounding normal epithelium, adenomas showed dramatically reduced staining for PKCs a, beta1, and zeta, as well as dysplasia-specific punctate nuclear staining of PKC mu. We conclude that reduced protein expression of PKC alpha, beta1, and zeta, and nuclear localization of PKC mu are markers of, and are perhaps involved in, adenomatous transformation induced by APC inactivation in ApcMIN mice. |
