malfunction | depletion of PKCepsilon in human endothelial cells reduces expression of the cytoprotective genes A1, A20 and Bcl-2. Constitutively active PKCepsilon expressed in human endothelial cells increases mRNA and protein levels of these cytoprotective genes, with up-regulation dependent upon ERK1/2 (extracellular-signal regulated kinase 1/2) activation | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | PKCepsilon plays an important role as an upstream regulator of endothelial cytoprotection through both the specific induction of protective genes, as well as suppression of pro-inflammatory responses | Homo sapiens |
