Differential expression of protein kinase C isoenzymes related to high nitric oxide synthase activity in a T lymphoma cell line

AbstractProtein kinase C (PKC) is critical for T lymphocyte activation and proliferation, while nitric oxide synthase (NOS) may function both as an activator or inhibitor of T cell apoptosis. Both enzymatic activities were studied in T lymphoma cells in comparison to normal and activated T lymphocytes. Here we show a higher translocation of PKC in BW5147 lymphoma cells than in mitogen-stimulated T lymphocytes. Tumor cells overexpressed PKC ζ isoform, while high levels of the PKC β isotype were found in mitogen-stimulated T lymphocytes. Moreover, tumoral T cells showed high NOS activity, almost undetectable in normal or stimulated T lymphocytes. PKC and NOS inhibitors or the intracellular delivery of an anti-PKC ζ antibody diminished both NO production and proliferation in tumor cells.These results suggest that atypical PKC ζ isoform expression and its association with NOS activity regulation would participate in the multistep process leading to BW5147 cell malignant transformation

African linguistics on the prairie: Selected papers from the 45th Annual Conference on African Linguistics

African Linguistics on the Prairie features select revised peer-reviewed papers from the 45th Annual Conference on African Linguistics, held at the University of Kansas. The articles in this volume reflect the enormous diversity of African languages, as they focus on languages from all of the major African language phyla.  The articles here also reflect the many different research perspectives that frame the work of linguists in the Association for Contemporary African Linguistics. The diversity of views presented in this volume are thus indicative of the vitality of current African linguistics research. The work presented in this volume represents both descriptive and theoretical methodologies and covers fields ranging from phonetics, phonology, morphology, typology, syntax, and semantics to sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, language acquisition, computational linguistics and beyond.  This broad scope and the quality of the articles contained within holds out the promise of continued advancement in linguistic research on African languages
