Targeting protein kinase C-α prolongs survival and restores liver function in sepsis: Evidence from preclinical models by Ling Xiong, Dustin Beyer, Na Liu, Tina Lehmann, Sophie Neugebauer, Sascha Schaeuble, Oliver Sommerfeld, Philipp Ernst, Carl-Magnus Svensson, Sandor Nietzsche, Sebastian Scholl, Tony Bruns, Nikolaus Gaßler, Markus H. Gräler, Marc Thilo Figge, Gianni Panagiotou, Michael Bauer, Adrian T. Press

“…Using a preclinical murine sepsis model, we found that both PKCα knockout and the use of a PKCα-inhibitor midostaurin successfully restored liver function without hindering the host’s response or ability to clear the pathogen, highlighting PKCα’s vital role in excretory liver failure. In septic animals, both approaches significantly boosted survival rates. …”
