In melanoma, increased Wnt5A expression increases melanoma cell motility via activation of protein kinase C (PKC). PKC isoforms comprise a family ofserine/threonine kinases that are involved in the transduction of signals for cell proliferation, differentiation, and metastasis. The important role of PKC in processes leading to carcinogenesis and tumor cell invasion would render PKC a suitable target for cancer therapy, if not for its ubiquitous nature. Thus, targeting pathways leading to PKC activation that are more tumor specific, such as the non-canonical Wnt pathway, may prove to be the key to targeting PKC in cancer. Here we summarize the current understanding of the Wnt/calcium pathway and discuss methods of detecting activated/phosphorylated PKC as a result of Wnt signaling in malignant melanoma. We have shown that overexpression of Wnt5A results in the activation of PKC, while inhibition of Wnt5A via small interfering RNA (siRNA) treatment results in its inactivation. In addition, the use of PKC activators and inhibitors has allowed us to study Wnt5A effects on downstream genes that may prove to be key targets for molecular therapy."xsd:string |
