1 Protein kinase C is inhibited by bisphosphonates in prostate cancer PC-3 cells. Diphosphonates proline rich transmembrane protein 2 Homo sapiens
2 Since protein kinase C (PKC) plays a crucial role in cancer progression, we examined the effect of bisphosphonates on PKC expression to clarify the mechanism behind the inhibition of the bone metastasis of prostate cancer by bisphosphonates. Diphosphonates proline rich transmembrane protein 2 Homo sapiens
3 This is the first finding that bisphosphonates suppress PKC expression in cancer cells. Diphosphonates proline rich transmembrane protein 2 Homo sapiens
4 These results strongly suggest that one of the mechanisms behind the inhibitory effect of bisphosphonates on tumor bone metastasis is mediated by PKC inhibition. Diphosphonates proline rich transmembrane protein 2 Homo sapiens
