Title Protein kinase C inhibitors suppress cell growth in established and low-passage glioma cell lines. a comparison between staurosporine and tamoxifen
Date 1993
Description WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY demonstrated that the proliferation of established human glioma cell lines correlated with protein kinase C (PKC) activity and that a relatively selective PKC inhibitor, staurosporine, inhibits glioma cell proliferation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether low-passage glioma cell lines were also sensitive to staurosporine and to compare the antimitotic effects of staurosporine with tamoxifen, an antiestrogen with a known PKC inhibitory effect presently being investigated in the treatment of recurrent glioma. We measured the effects of treatment with staurosporine or tamoxifen on the proliferation rate of five established glioma cell lines (A172, U251, U87, U373, U563) and four low-passage glioma cell lines.
