Active phorbol esters such as TPA (12-0-tetra-decanoylphorbol-13-acetate) inhibited growth of mammary carcinoma cells (MCF-7 greater than BT-20 greater than MDA-MB-231 greater than = ZR-75-1 greater than HBL-100) with the exception of T-47-D cells presumably by interacting with the phospholipid/Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (PKC). The nonresponsive T-47-D cells exhibited the lowest PKC activity. A rapid (30 min) TPA-dependent translocation of cytosolic PKC to membranes was found in the five TPA-sensitive cell without affecting cell growth. However, TPA-treatment of more than 10 hours inhibited reversibly the growth of TPA-responsive cells. This effect coincided with the complete loss of cellular PKC activity due to the proteolysis of the translocated membrane-bound PKC holoenzyme (75K) into 60K and 50K PKC fragments. Resumption of cell growth after TPA-removal was closely related to the specific reappearance of the PKC holoenzyme activity (75K) in the TPA-responsive human mammary tumor cell lines suggesting an involvement of PKC in growth regulation.

Treatment of cultured astrocytes from 2-day-old rat cerebral hemispheres with insulin or somatomedin C (IGF1) promoted a rapid activation of a cytosolic protein kinase which phosphorylates ribosomal protein S6. Phosphorylation of substrates currently used for protein kinase assays (histone H2B and phosvitin) was not stimulated. Neither the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity nor that of protein kinase C was modified. Treatment of these astrocytes with TPA also promoted a rapid increase in S6 kinase activity in the cytosolic fraction. Simultaneously, protein kinase C disappeared from the cytosol. Neither cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity nor phosvitin kinase activity was modified. The effects of insulin, IGF1 and TPA were also observed in the presence of cycloheximide. Cycloheximide also potentiated their effects. These data indicate that S6 kinase activity in astrocytes is promoted from a pre-existing molecule via the tyrosine kinase-insulin receptor and suggest that protein kinase C is implicated in the process.

Stimulatory effects of Ca2+-CaM and PKI on partially purified hypothalamic HD (10 fold purification) have been shown under conditions involving inhibition of the enzyme by cAMP-induced phosphorylation and under control conditions. A 1:1 (v/v) mixture of 0.1 mM CaCl2 and 10 units of CaM from human red blood cells reversed the inhibition of HD induced by cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation activity to the control level. Verapamil (0.01 mM) could partially block the former effect without affecting the control level of enzyme activity. 0.01 mM TPA did not further increase the effect of Ca2+-CaM on HD, in the presence of 0.01 mM ATP, indicating that this stimulation does not require the action of Ca2+-dependent protein kinase. The control level of HD is not influenced by 0.1 mM CaCl2 or 0.02 mM EGTA but is raised by CaM in the presence of CaCl2 (0.1 mM). A highly purified protein kinase (cAMP-dependent) inhibitor (PKI) from bovine heart and a crude inhibitor from rat cerebellum could also reverse the inhibitory effect of cAMP-dependent protein kinase under phosphorylating conditions and enhanced HD activity above control levels. PKI and Ca2+-CaM, added together, produced single, not additive effects. We conclude that cAMP-induced phosphorylation is probable the main regulatory mechanism of histamine formation and this could be influenced by both Ca2+-CaM and PKI. Inhibition of cAMP-dependent protein kinase as well as stimulation of phosphoprotein phosphatase and Ca2+-CaM-dependent phosphodiesterase might be involved in the above actions.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) rapidly stimulates the phosphorylation of a 250 kDa cytoskeletally-associated protein (pp250) by a protein kinase which is also associated with structural elements of the cell. We have solubilized these proteins and demonstrated that NGF-stimulated phosphorylation can be observed in cell free extracts of cytoskeletons from NGF-treated PC12 cells. The pp250 substrate and the 250-kinase were solubilized from PC12 cytoskeletons by treatment with 2 M urea. Phosphorylation of pp250 was maximally stimulated following treatment of the cells for 5 min with NGF. This effect was transient, diminishing with longer exposure of the cells to hormone. The 250-kinase preferred Mn2+ over Mg2+ and was inhibited by both Na+ and K+. The phosphorylation of pp250 was not affected by Ca2+. Upon fractionation of the urea-soluble cytoskeletal proteins by gel filtration, the 250-kinase eluted in two peaks; one peak of enzyme activity coeluting with the pp250 substrate, and a second peak of enzyme activity eluting with an apparent Mr of approximately 60 kDa. Treatment of the PC12 cells with the phorbol ester TPA also stimulated the phosphorylation of pp250, although this effect was not as great as that produced by NGF. This cell free system should be a valuable tool in the investigation of the mechanisms of NGF action.

Protein kinase C activity has been identified in cytosolic and membrane fractions from rat and rabbit small intestine epithelial cells. The cytosolic fraction comprised about the 75% of total activity. Protein kinase C activity was resolved from other protein kinase activities by ion exchange chromatography. Phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylinositol were required for protein kinase C to be active. In addition, the activity was enhanced by the presence of a diacylglycerol. Diolein and dimyristin were the most effective (13-14 fold activation). In the presence of phosphatidylserine and diolein, the Ka for activation by Ca2+ was 10(-7)M. The phorbol ester TPA substituted for diacylglycerol in activating protein kinase C. Brush border and basolateral membranes contained protein kinase C activity, although the specific activity of the basal lateral membranes was four-fold higher than the specific activity of the brush border membranes. The presence of PKC in small intestine epithelial cells might have important implications in the Ca2+ mediated control of ionic transport in this tissue.

Incubating T51B rat liver cells in Ca2+-deficient, serum-rich medium containing only 0.02 mM Ca2+ strikingly decreased the phosphorylation of several trypsin-removable cell surface proteins and arrested the cells in late G1 phase. Raising the Ca2+ concentration in the Ca2+-deficient medium from 0.02 mM to 0.5 mM or adding 80 nM TPA (12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate), a protein kinase C activator, stimulated the phosphorylation of a certain set of surface proteins within 5 min and the initiation of DNA replication within the next 2 hr. By contrast, incubation in the same Ca2+-deficient medium, which does not affect the proliferation of neoplastic T51B-261B cells, did not reduce the phosphorylation of cell surface proteins. These observations suggest that the stimulation of a Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (possibly protein kinase C) directly or indirectly phosphorylates certain cell surface proteins that might be part of the mechanism that triggers the Ca2+-dependent G1----S transition of normal cells. They also suggest that an alteration of this Ca2+-dependent protein kinase might be the reason for neoplastic cells being able to proliferate in the face of an external Ca2+ shortage that would stop the proliferation of normal cells.

We investigated the possible role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the progression of Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MuLV)-induced lymphoma in BALB/c mice. Mice injected with Mo-MuLV on the first day after birth developed lymphoma within 1 1/2-3 months. The development of lymphoma was characterized by a gradual increase in the number of spleen cells. However, no analogous changes could be detected in the thymuses of these mice, although cells of both organs were found to be virus producers as early as 3-4 weeks after inoculation. PKC activity, which was assayed in extracts of spleen and thymus cells, declined gradually during the development of lymphoma. Concomitantly with this decline, a progressive appearance of Ca2+/lipid-independent protein kinase activity was observed. TPA treatment of intact cells from normal mice reduced the level of soluble PKC activity, while inducing Ca2+/lipid-independent phosphorylation. By contrast, TPA had no effect on these enzymatic activities in cells derived from leukemic mice. Spleen enlargement caused by injection of a non-leukemogenic inflammatory agent such as mineral oil was ineffective in this respect, suggesting that the PKC-Ca2+/lipid-independent protein kinase modulation is associated with the virally induced leukemogenesis.

Treatment of intact rat pancreatic acini with phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate, TPA) resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent translocation of phospholipid/Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (PL/Ca-PK) from the soluble fraction. Redistribution of PL/Ca-PK was concurrent with stimulation of amylase secretion by TPA-treated acini. Polymyxin B, a potent and selective inhibitor of PL/Ca-PK completely inhibited TPA-induced amylase secretion. These findings are consistent with a role for PL/Ca-PK in the regulation of pancreatic exocrine secretion.

Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) inductions by cholera toxin and by the phorbol ester tumor promoter, TPA, were compared in wild-type Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and in mutant cells having altered cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity. The aim of these studies was to determine whether cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is involved in these inductions. The time course and the magnitude of ODC inductions by either 100 ng/ml cholera toxin or 100 ng/ml TPA were similar in wild-type cells with a maximum at 3-4 hours after treatment and a return to unstimulated levels by 8 hours. Induction of ODC by cholera toxin was suppressed more than 80% in the four protein kinase mutants studied (10215, 10248, 10260, and 10265), strongly implicating a cyclic AMP-dependent kinase step in the mechanism of induction. Similar results were found with the cyclic AMP analog 8-Br-cyclic AMP and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, methyl-isobutylxanthine. The induction of ODC by TPA, on the other hand, was only partially inhibited (approximately 50%) in three of four mutants. Lower ODC activity in two mutants stimulated by cholera toxin or TPA whose kinetics were studied in more detail could not be ascribed to a reduced affinity (Km) of ornithine for the enzyme, but appeared to be due to reduced catalytic activity (Vmax) in the extracts. These results suggest that the induction of ODC by TPA proceeds by a mechanism which is only partially dependent on an intact cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity.

The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate is mitogenic for normal chicken embryo fibroblasts and also causes these cells to express transiently many properties of cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus. Since some mitogenic hormones stimulate a tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity, and since the transforming protein of RSV is a tyrosine-specific protein kinase, we have examined whether TPA also stimulates protein phosphorylation on tyrosine. We report here that TPA treatment of normal cells resulted in a very rapid phosphorylation on tyrosine of a protein peak of Mr 40 to 43 kilodaltons. Thus, a similar biochemical activity (tyrosine phosphorylation) is associated with the action of polypeptide mitogenic hormones, Rous sarcoma virus and a tumor promoter. In addition, TPA treatment resulted in rapid changes in phosphorylation of proteins on serine and threonine.
