Effects on telomerase activity by specific PKC isoenzymes. (A) OEC-M1 cells were transfected with specific PKC-RNAi plasmids for 48 h. Immunoblot analysis to determine the protein expression levels of each PKC isoenzyme. Actin gene expression was measured as an internal control. Actin expression remained consistent in every transfected sample. In this figure, the results of PKC α-RNAi transfection are shown as representative of all the RNAi experiments. C: control cells without plasmid transfection, V: cells transfected with vector, RNAi: cells transfected with specific PKC-RNAi plasmid as indicated on the left of the figure. (B) Telomerase activity was determined after transfection with specific PKC-RNAi plasmids as indicated on the bottom of the figure. (C) OEC-M1 cells were treated with 40 μM BIS for 48 h. Cell lysates were subjected to in vitro phosphorylation by specific PKC isoenzymes as indicated, followed by determination of telomerase activity. *Statistical significance using Student's t-test (P<0.05 of two-sided test).
