Diversity of roles of protein kinase Cα in the proliferation of Swiss 3T3 cells

We examined the role of protein kinase Cα (PKCα) in the stimulation of DNA synthesis of Swiss 3T3 cells induced by bombesin, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). We found that cells in which this kinase had been down-regulated showed a partially abrogated...
