Protein kinase CK2 (formerly termed “casein kinase II”) is a ubiquitously in mammalian cells distributed Ser/Thr kinase, with global role in cell regulation. Although, the involvement of CK2 in cell signalling is vast-investigated, virtually nothing is known about its contribution to signal control of keratinocytes differentiation. Here we show that, in autocrine differentiating keratinocytes, inhibition of the CK2 activity induced by 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB) causes reciprocal changes in the activities of major signal transduction regulators of keratinocytes differentiation, i.e. ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK, without affecting their protein levels. The ERK1/2 activity is strongly suppressed, while the activity of p38 is increased. We have also found that the activity of upstream and specifi c for p38 MAPK kinase MEK3/6 is also stimulated by TBB. These original results clearly demonstrate the participation of CK2 in the signal transduction pathway controlling MEK3/6, p38 MAPK, and ERK1/2 in the used model system.
