Abstract FD/PMA is a subclone of the interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent, FDC-P1 cell line, which proliferates in response to either 12-O- tetradecanoylphorbol-13 acetate (PMA) or IL-3. While several endogenous substrates were phosphorylated in response to protein kinase C (PKC) activation in FDC-P1, phospholipid-dependent phosphorylation in the FD/PMA grown in PMA was not observed. Basal, phosphatidylserine- independent, and diolein-independent phosphorylation of cytosolic substrates with molecular weights of 17, 52, 57, and 105 Kd were enhanced in FD/PMA cells grown in PMA as compared with FDC-P1 cells cultured in IL-3. Phosphorylation of a 105-Kd substrate was enhanced in the particulate fraction of FD/PMA cells maintained in PMA. The 17-Kd substrate in FD/PMA cells comigrated with a substrate phosphorylated in a PKC-dependent manner in FDC-P1 cells. Phosphorylation of the 52- and 57-Kd substrates, but not of the 17-Kd substrate, was inhibited by H-7 and staurosporine. A portion of the PMA-induced cytosolic kinase activity coeluted with PKC on diethyl aminoethyl chromatography. While FD/PMA cells cultured in PMA contained negligible PKC-dependent phosphorylation of endogenous substrates or histone, alpha and epsilon PKC isoforms were detected by Western blot analysis. PKC phosphotransferase activity was observed in FD/PMA cells grown in PMA when peptides corresponding to residues 720 to 737 of PKC-epsilon or residues 4 to 14 of myelin basic protein were used as substrates. These data indicate that maintenance of FD/PMA cells in PMA stimulates proliferation and markedly alters PKC substrate specificity. Generation of at least two phospholipid-independent kinases occurs in PMA-treated cells.

Tamoxifen inhibits bone resorption by disrupting calmodulin-dependent processes. Since tamoxifen inhibits protein kinase C in other cells, we compared the effects of tamoxifen and the phorbol ester, phorbol myristate acetate, on osteoclast activity. Phorbol esters stimulate bone resorption and calmodulin levels four-fold (k0.5 = 0.1–0.3 µM). In contrast, tamoxifen inhibited osteoclast activity ~60% with an IC50 of 1.5 µM, had no apparent effect on protein kinase C activity in whole-cell lysates, and reduced protein kinase Cα recovered by immunoprecipitation 75%. Phorbol esters stimulated resorption in a time-dependent manner that was closely correlated with a similar-fold increase in calmodulin. Protein kinase Cα, β, δ, ε, and ζ were all down-regulated in response to phorbol ester treatment. Tamoxifen and trifluoperazine inhibited PMA-dependent increases in bone resorption and calmodulin by 85 ± 10%. Down-regulation of protein kinase C isoforms by phorbol esters suggests that the observed increases in bone resorption and calmodulin levels are most likely due to a mechanism independent of protein kinase C and dependent on calmodulin. In conclusion, the data suggest that protein kinase C negatively regulates calmodulin expression and support the hypothesis that the effects of both phorbol esters and tamoxifen on osteoclast activity is mediated by calmodulin.Key words: osteoclast, calmodulin, tamoxifen, osteoporosis, protein kinase C.

It was previously determined that ANG II and phorbol esters inhibit Kv current in neurons cultured from newborn rat hypothalamus and brain stem in a protein kinase C (PKC)- and Ca2+-dependent manner. Here, we have further defined this signaling pathway by investigating the roles of “physiological” activators of PKC and different PKC isozymes. The cell-permeable PKC activators, diacylglycerol (DAG) analogs 1,2-dioctanoyl- sn-glycerol (1 μmol/l, n = 7) and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl- sn-glycerol (1 μmol/l, n = 6), mimicked the effect of ANG II and inhibited Kv current. These effects were abolished by the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine (1 μmol/l, n = 5) or by chelation of internal Ca2+ ( n = 8). PKC antisense (AS) oligodeoxynucleotides (2 μmol/l) against Ca2+-dependent PKC isoforms were applied to the neurons to manipulate the endogenous levels of PKC. PKC-α-AS ( n = 4) treatment abolished the inhibitory effects of ANG II and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl- sn-glycerol on Kv current, whereas PKC-β-AS ( n = 4) and PKC-γ-AS ( n = 4) did not. These results suggest that the angiotensin type 1 receptor-mediated effects of ANG II on neuronal Kv current involve activation of PKC-α.

The mechanism of action of the hemopoietic growth factor, murine interleukin-3 (mIL-3), was investigated using an mIL-3-dependent multipotential hematopoietic cell line, B6SUtA1. Murine granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) was as potent as mIL-3 in stimulating these cells. In addition, sodium orthovanadate, an inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatase, and 12-O-tetradecanoyl- phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a known activator of protein kinase C, also stimulated DNA synthesis in these cells, suggesting that protein phosphorylation might be involved in the mechanism of action of mIL-3 and mGM-CSF. To assess this possibility, intact B6SUtA1 cells exposed for brief periods to mIL-3, mGM-CSF, and TPA were analyzed for changes in phosphorylation patterns using metabolic 32P-labeling and antibodies to phosphotyrosine. Both mIL-3 and mGM-CSF induced the serine-specific phosphorylation of a 68-Kd cytosolic protein, whereas all three agents stimulated the serine-specific phosphorylation of a 68-Kd membrane protein. Furthermore, mIL-3 stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the 68-Kd membrane protein, as well as of 140-, 90-, 55, and 40-Kd proteins. The 90-Kd protein was also tyrosine phosphorylated in response to mGM-CSF. These phosphotyrosine containing proteins were not detected in TPA-treated cells. These results indicate that protein phosphorylations on tyrosine and serine residues occur in B6SUtA1 cells following short-term incubation with mIL-3 or mGM-CSF and that most of these phosphorylation events are mediated by kinases other than protein kinase C (PkC).

ABSTRACT We have investigated the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in LHRH-induced LH and FSH secretion and LHRH priming. Hemipituitary glands from pro-oestrous rats were incubated with agents known to affect PKC and with or without LHRH, during which time the secretion of gonadotrophins was measured. Phorbol esters and phospholipase C, activators of PKC, released LH and FSH in a concentration-dependent manner and potentiated the LHRH-induced secretion of gonadotrophins in parallel with their ability to release these hormones alone. Inhibitors of PKC had either no effect on LH release (1-(5-isoquinolinesulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine hydrochloride) or they augmented LHRH-induced gonadotrophin release (polymyxin B and 8-(N,N-diethylamino) octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate). Neither the activators nor the inhibitors of PKC, when present with LHRH, caused any change in LHRH priming, even though the activators alone produced a release of gonadotrophins that showed a temporal pattern similar to that produced by LHRH priming. The profiles of effects on LH and FSH secretion were always qualitatively similar. These results show that PKC may be involved in general regulation of gonadotrophin release but that it is not important in acute responses to LHRH nor in LHRH self-priming. J. Endocr.

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) is a ubiquitous transcription factor that affects expression of many genes, including immunoglobulin kappa (kappa), the interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain, and two genes in HIV-1. NF-kappa B can be activated by a number of stimuli, including pharmacological stimulation of protein kinase C by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and treatment in vitro with either protein kinase C or protein kinase A. This has lead to the proposal that these kinases are key enzymes in the physiological activation of NF-kappa B as well. We have used a murine B cell line, 70Z/3, and T cell line, EL-4 6.1 C10, to study the activation of NF-kappa B by two physiological activators, interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). There are four reasons to propose that these agents activate pathways that do not include protein kinase C as a major component in these cell lines. First, the protein kinase C inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) strongly inhibited PMA-induced activation of NF-kappa B in 70Z/3 cells but had no effect on NF-kappa B activated by IL-1 or LPS. Second, depletion of protein kinase C by prolonged growth of 70Z/3 in PMA abrogated the capacity of the cells to activate NF-kappa B in response to further PMA treatment. However, these same cells activated NF-kappa B normally after either IL-1 or LPS treatment. Third, IL-1 effectively activated NF-kappa B in EL-4 6.1 C10 cells, but PMA did not. Fourth, interferon-gamma is a potent activator of protein kinase C in 70Z/3 cells, but is completely inactive in the mobilization of NF-kappa B. These results suggest that the physiological inducers IL-1 and LPS activate NF-kappa B by pathways independent of protein kinase C in both 70Z/3 and EL-4 6.1 C10 cells.
