Phosphoprotein Phosphatase 1 Is Required for Extracellular Calcium-Induced Keratinocyte Differentiation

Knockdown of E-cadherin/catenins or PLC-γ1 blocks calcium-induced PIP5K1α dephosphorylation. Cultured human keratinocytes were treated with E-cadherin siRNA, β-catenin siRNA, p120 siRNA, and PLC-γ1 siRNA for 72 hours and then in calcium for 5 min. Cells were harvested and total cell lysates were isolated. The protein levels of E-cadherin, β-catenin, p120, PLC-γ1, p-PIP5KIα (serine), and PIP5KIα were analyzed by western analysis. Data expressed are mean ± SD of three separate experiments, .
