The regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression in glioma cells is one of
the key processes in tumor invasion through the brain extracellular matrix. Although some
studies have demonstrated the implication of classic protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in the
regulation of MMP-9 production by phorbol esters or lipopolysaccharide, the involvement of
specific PKC isoforms in the signaling pathways leading to MMP-9 expression by
inflammatory cytokines remains unclear. Here we report that the atypical PKC-ζ isoform …
