Article Title: PKCε overexpression, irrespective of genetic background, sensitizes skin to ultraviolet radiation-induced development of squamous cell carcinomas
doi: 10.1038/jid.2009.212
Figure Lengend Snippet: Heterozygous (+/−) FVB/N K14-T7PKCε mice were crossed for four generations to wildtype (−/−) outcrossed SKH-1 hairless mice for transmission of the transgene and hairlessness. a: Phenotype of female SKH-1K14-T7PKCε transgenic mice. Shown are the photographs of adult SKH-1 hairless PKCε transgenic mouse and its wildtype littermate at 11 weeks of age. b: Skin histology. The dorsal skin from a wildtype and PKCε SKH-1 hairless transgenic mouse was fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin, and sections (4μm) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. c: Immunohistochemical staining for PKCε expression, scale bars = 50 μm. d: Epidermal PKC isoform expression profiles in PKCε SKH-1 hairless transgenic mice and their wildtype littermates; results representative of three replicates. e: The quantification of proteins (normalized to β-actin) was done by densitometry analysis using Total Lab Nonlinear Dynamics Image Analysis Software (Nonlinear, USA).
