IFNα induces PKC-θ auto-phosphorylation in NK cells via P3K and PLC pathways and improves the degranulation via PKC-θ signaling
Reduced IFNα-induced STAT-1 phosphorylation in Ser727 and CXCL10 secretion in NK cells derived from PKC-θ−/− mice
PMID:19201850
Protein kinase C-theta is required for NK cell activation and in vivo control of tumor progression.
PRKCQ upregulates granzyme A and B expression in NK cells recruited to the tumor environment.
PRKCQ could be activated downstream of IL15 and TLR3 signaling.

WIPF1 forms complex with WASP. Protein kinase C-theta mediates phosphorylation of WIPF1 downstream of NK activation. Inhibitory signaling from KIR2DL1 receptor.

PKC-theta requires DAG for activation. DAG is generated by PLCG through enzymatic cleavage of PIP2.
PMID:18784374
PKC-theta–mediated signals activate AP-1 and NFAT1.
The capacity of NFAT to bind DNA was reduced in PKC-theta–deficient NK cells.
There is a significant decrease in AP-1 activation in PKC-theta–deficient NK cells.
