Implication

RT-PCR detects PKC isoforms in rat myocytes; extends isoform mapping but leaves open human cardiac relevance.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Adult rat cardiac myocytes and cultured neonatal ventricular myocytes (hippocampus used for validation)
I
Intervention
Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using degenerate oligonucleotide primers
O
Outcome
Characterization of protein kinase C (PKC) isoform expression

Development of an RT-PCR method allowed for the efficient characterization of PKC isoform diversity in cardiac cells, identifying alpha, delta, epsilon, eta, and zeta isoforms.
