ARTICLE ABSTRACT
PKCα was found to be aberrantly expressed in human prostate cancer. Silencing the expression of this kinase from aggressive prostate cancer cell lines reduces their proliferative, tumorigenic, and invasive properties. In addition, our findings implicate PKCα as a major node for transcriptional regulation of tumorigenic, inflammatory, and EMT networks in prostate cancer, highlighting its potential relevance as a therapeutic target.
