D-Glucosamine was found to inhibit the growth of human malignant epithelial cells SW-839, HT-29, RT-4, and SK-OV-3 in culture in a process that was associated with significant increments in glycerol-containing lipids. Each cell line had a different sensitivity to the drug, but all four cell lines shared the same features in their response, i.e., dose-dependent (at concentrations of 1, 5, and 10 mM), noncytotoxic reductions in growth (minimum 30%, maximum 70%), and simultaneous 1.5-fold to… 

Cells Disappearance in Phorbol Ester-treated Human Osteosarcoma Time-dependent Changes in Protein Kinase C Distribution and Updated Version

It is concluded that protein kinase C activation by PMA is itself insufficient to stimulate prostaglandin Kproduction and that the lack of a prostaglandsin response in SaOS-2 cells cannot be explained by lack of protein kinases C activation.
