Abstract

Background: PKC∈, a potential oncogene, is up-regulated in prostate cancer. Results: PKC∈ facilitates the formation of TNFR-I complex to regulate the NF-κB pathway via a C1 domain/diacylglycerol-dependent mechanism. Conclusion: PKC∈ is an upstream regulator of NF-κB signaling in prostate cancer. Significance: Mechanisms identified here may reveal novel PKC∈ effectors that contribute to prostate cancer progression and highlight the potential relevance of this pathway for therapeutic purposes.
