1 Couldwell, William T.Clinical and radiographic response in a minority of patients with recurrent malignant gliomas treated with high-dose tamoxifenPREVIOUS WORK HAS demonstrated the importance of the Protein Kinase C (PKC) signal transduction system in regulating the growth rate of malignant gliomas in vitro. Tamoxifen inhibits PKC in a minority of malignant gliomas within the micromolar concentration range in vitro, a property distinct from...Tamoxifen; Protein kinase C; Glioma; Brain neoplasm; Chemotherapy; Glioma1993
2 Couldwell, William T.Enhanced protein kinase C activity correlates with the growth rate of malignant gliomas in vitroDirect measurement of protein kinase C (PKC) activity in vitro revealed a significant increase in the activity of the enzyme in all human malignant glioma lines examined and the rat C6 tumor in comparison with control nonneoplastic astrocyte and mixed glial cultures. The total and particulate PKC ac...Brain neoplasms; Flow cytometry; Glioma; Phorbol ester; Protein kinase C1991
3 Couldwell, William T.Hypericin: a potential antiglioma therapyHYPERICIN, A POLYCYCLIC aromatic dione isolated from plants, is presently being clinically evaluated as an antiviral agent in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. In addition, it is known to be a potent protein kinase C inhibitor. To evaluate its potential as an inhibitor o...Hypericin; Protein kinase C; Glioma; Brain neoplasm1994
4 Couldwell, William T.Inhibition of cellular growth and induction of apoptosis in pituitary adenoma cell lines by the protein kinase C inhibitor hypericin: potential therapeutic applicationProtein kinase C (PKC) is an enzyme involved in the regulation of cellular growth, proliferation, and differentiation in a number of tissues including the anterior pituitary, in which it is also believed to play a role in hormone secretion. Protein kinase C activity and expression have been found to...Apoptosis; Hypericin; Pituitary adenoma; Protein kinase C1996
5 Couldwell, William T.Inhibition of growth of established human glioma cell lines by modulators of the protein kinase-C systemThe protein kinase-C (PKC) second messenger system contributes to regulation of cell growth and differentiation. This study was undertaken to examine the effects of modulators of the PKC enzyme system on the state of differentiation and proliferation rates of human gliomas in vitro. The administrat...Protein kinase C; Phorbol ester; Cell proliferation; Tumor cell growth; Astrocyte; Glioma; Immunohistochemistry1990
6 Couldwell, William T.Paradoxical elevation of Ki-67 labeling with protein kinase inhibition in malignant gliomasThe monoclonal antibody Ki-67 recognizes a nuclear antigen expressed in the G1, S, G2, and M phase of the cell cycle and has been used extensively as an indicator of cellular proliferation in malignant gliomas, both in the laboratory and clinically. Recently, protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors have b...Brain neoplasm; Chemotherapy; Glioma; Monoclonal antibody; Ki-67; Protein kinase C; Tamoxifen1995
7 Couldwell, William T.Protein kinase C activity correlates with the growth rate of malignant gliomas: Part II. Effects of glioma mitogens and modulators of protein kinase CTHE PROLIFERATION RATES of gliomas may be modulated by the protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction system. The present study was undertaken to further examine the role of PKC system in growth regulation of gliomas in vitro by measurement of PKC activity over various phases of tumor growth and by ...Protein kinase C; Brain neoplasms; Growth factor; Glioma; Phorbol ester1992
8 Couldwell, William T.Protein kinase C and growth regulation in malignant gliomasTo the Editor: The presence of amplified growth factor systems in many tumor models, including malignant gliomas, raises the question of how such external signals are transduced into a transformed phenotype (increased proliferation, invasion, lack of contact inhibition, angiogenic capacity, etc.). ...Protein kinase C; Glioma; Brain neoplasm; protooncogenes; Apoptosis; Tamoxifen1994
9 Couldwell, William T.Protein kinase C inhibitors suppress cell growth in established and low-passage glioma cell lines. a comparison between staurosporine and tamoxifenWE 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-passa...Staurosporin; Tamoxifen; Protein kinase C; Glioma; Brain neoplasm; Glioma cell lines1993
