Functional Investigation of Dual αvβ3 and αllbβ3 Integrin Inhibition in Haematological and Solid Tumour Models
… detachment and migration were determined. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-treated K562 cells showed increased adhesion on fibrinogen compared to untreated cells. Adhesion of cancer cells (K562 ± PMA and MCF-7) to fibrinogen was inhibited and detachment was induced by the known β3 …

An unbiased proteomic approach to identifying cell surface markers in neutrophils
… THP-1, which had been previously primed with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) to acquire the functional properties of human macrophages. Efferocytosis was assessed by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. Results: The late-stage apoptotic neutrophil plasma membrane profile identified …

Identification of a Minimal Cis-element and Cognate Trans-factors Required for the Regulation of Rac2 Gene Expression during K562 Cell Differentiation
… leukemia cell line K562 as the model system. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulation of K562 cells resulted in increased Rac2 mRNA expression as analyzed by real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Luciferase reporter gene assays revealed that increased transcriptional activity …

Single-cell Functional Profiling of Lymphocytes for Cancer Immunotherapy
… gamma (IFN-γ) secretor upon activation by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin (< 3 h), and no evidence of cooperation between NK cells to synergistic activation or faster IFN-γ secretion. These results establish our technology as an investigational tool for cellular …

Angiotensin II-mediated Regulation of the Human Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Gene
… (H295R cells). Protein kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), showed that the downregulation of hAT1R mRNA is mediated by the PKC pathway. Experiments performed in the presence of cycloheximide and/or Ang II demonstrated that protein translation is essential for hAT1R …

RAF-1 kinase inhibitor protein-mediated cholecystokinin-2 receptor desensitization and extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation
… associated onto GRK2 when PKC was activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment, but either G17 stimulation or Gö6976 did not affect on the association. It suggests that PMA-sensitive PKC isozymes are responsible for RKIP phosphorylation; however, CCK2R-mediated PKC isozymes are …
