Phosphorylations of two proteins (27 KDa, 32 KDa) in oat cells were dependent on phytochrome action. To determine which kinase system(s) for the phosphorylation of these two proteins are controlled by the phytochrome, involvement of the Ca2+/DG dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) was first investigated. When a protein kinase C inhibitor (1-(5-isoquinoline sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine:H-7) or the inositol phospholipid metabolic blocker Li+ was added into the cell suspension, respectively, the phosphorylations of these two proteins were substantially reduced. On the other hand, an addition of 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG:activator of protein kinase C) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA: tumor promoting phorbol ester) enhanced the phosphorylations of these proteins. These results suggest that phytochrome action is certainly connected with the protein phosphorylation via the activation of protein kinase C or a similar molecule with protein kinase C.

A brief incubation of lymphocytes with either PMA, stimulating protein kinase C, or with dibutyryl-cAMP, leading to protein kinase A activation, led to increased lymphocyte penetration through intact endothelial monolayers in vitro. The PMA-induced penetration could be dose-dependently down-regulated with a protein kinase C inhibitor, H7. Similarly HA 1004, being mainly a protein kinase A inhibitor, decreased the dibutyryl-cAMP induced penetration. Treatment of lymphocytes with PMA and cAMP did not alter the expression of CD44 homing receptors on lymphocytes. Stimulation of lymphocytes with dibutyryl-cGMP or calcium ionophore had no effect on lymphocyte penetration. These results suggest that activation of both protein kinases A and C is important in the lymphocyte binding to endothelium.

Antigenic stimulation is associated with enhanced adhesion between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APC). Binding of ligands to the T cell antigen receptor activates the adhesion function of lymphocyte function-associated molecule 1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18). We demonstrate here that ligand binding to major histocompatibility complex class II (Ia) molecules also activates LFA-1 function, providing a reciprocal mechanism for the induction of adhesion between T cells and Ia+ APC. Adhesion was affected by a qualitative change in LFA-1 molecules and was reversed by the protein kinase C inhibitor sphingosine. These results define a novel role for Ia molecules as signal transducing receptors that regulate LFA-1-dependent adhesion via a putative, Ia-coupled protein kinase(s).

In this study, we investigated the possible involvement of protein kinase C in the inhibitory effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on the electrical stimulation-induced release of radioactivity from mouse atria incubated with [3H]-noradrenaline. The protein kinase C activators, phorbol dibutyrate (PDB, 0.001-1 mumol/l) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, 0.001-1 mumol/l), increased the release of noradrenaline in a concentration-dependent manner. Interestingly, the maximum effect on noradrenaline release was significantly greater for phorbol dibutyrate compared to phorbol myristate acetate. The enhancement produced by both phorbol esters was significantly reduced by the protein kinase C inhibitor, K-252a (1 mumol/l). In the presence of the concentration of either phorbol ester (PMA, 0.1 mumol/l, PDB 1 mumol/l), that was supramaximal for increasing the release of noradrenaline, NPY (0.3 mumol/l) significantly inhibited the release of noradrenaline. Moreover, in the presence of the protein kinase C inhibitors, K-252a (1 mumol/l) or polymyxin B (70 mumol/l), NPY (0.3 mumol/l) also significantly inhibited the release of noradrenaline. Therefore, it is concluded that protein kinase C is not involved in the prejunctional inhibitory effect of NPY on noradrenaline release in the mouse atria. Furthermore, since K-252a also inhibits cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase and myosin light chain kinase, it is likely that these kinases are also not involved in the inhibitory mechanism of NPY.

alpha-Thrombin and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate stimulated the mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of a 42-kDa cytosolic protein of human platelets. This effect was mediated by protein kinase C activation and was inhibited by protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine. It also was prevented by prostacyclin, which is known to inhibit the phospholipase C-induced formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol, which is one of the endogenous activators of protein kinase C. On sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the 42-kDa protein that is ADP-ribosylated by alpha-thrombin was clearly distinct from the alpha subunits of membrane-bound inhibitory and stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins, respectively Gi alpha and Gs alpha; the 47-kDa protein that is phophorylated by protein kinase C in platelets; and the 39-kDa protein that has been shown to be endogenously ADP-ribosylated by agents that release nitric oxide. This information shows that agonist-induced activation of protein kinase leads to the ADP-ribosylation of a specific protein. This covalent modification might have a functional role in platelet activation.

Using permeabilized gonadotropes, we examined whether Ca2(+)-stimulated luteinizing-hormone (LH) exocytosis is mediated by the Ca2(+)-activated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). In the presence of high [Ca2+]free (pCa 5), alpha-toxin-permeabilized sheep gonadotropes secrete a burst of LH and then become refractory to maintained high [Ca2+]free. The protein kinase C activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) is able to stimulate further LH release from cells made refractory to high [Ca2+]free, suggesting that Ca2+ does not stimulate LH release by activating protein kinase C. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, inhibited PMA-stimulated (50% inhibition at 20 nM), but not Ca2(+)-stimulated, LH exocytosis. In cells desensitized to PMA by prolonged exposure to a high PMA concentration, Ca2(+)-stimulated LH exocytosis (when corrected for depletion of total cellular LH) was not inhibited. Ba2+ was able to stimulate LH exocytosis to a maximal extent similar to Ca2+, although higher Ba2+ concentrations were necessary. Ba2+ and Ca2+ stimulated LH exocytosis with a similar time course, and both were inhibitory at high concentrations. Furthermore, cells made refractory to Ca2+ were also refractory to Ba2+. These data strongly suggest that Ba2+ and Ca2+ act through the same mechanism. Since Ba2+ is a poor activator of protein kinase C, these findings are additional evidence against a major role for protein kinase C in mediating Ca2(+)-stimulated LH exocytosis.

Activation of protein kinase C has been shown to be involved in the activation pathway of many cell types. Recently, a number of investigations have suggested that protein kinase C plays an essential role in T lymphocyte activation. The recent synthesis of the protein kinase inhibitors, H-7 and HA1004, have now made possible a new approach for testing the relevance of protein kinase C in T cell activation and proliferation. We now report that the antigen-induced and interleukin-2-induced proliferation of murine T cell lines can be consistently inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor, H-7. HA1004, a somewhat more potent inhibitor of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases, but a significantly weaker inhibitor of protein kinase C than H-7, demonstrated no consistent inhibition of these T cell responses. These results represent a further demonstration that protein kinase C plays an essential role in the activation of T cells.

The activities of Ca2+.phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) in rat salivary gland were assayed using synthetic peptide syntide-2(Pro-Leu-Ala-Arg-Thr-Leu-Ser-Val-Ala-Gly-Leu-Pro-Gly-Lys- Lys) as substrate. Levels of the protein kinase C were less than 0.05 units/g in the parotid and submandibular glands. The protein kinase C inhibitor, H-7, inhibited amylase secretion from rat parotid gland stimulated by PMA or the combination of phosphatidylserine and 1,2-diolein. The results supported the hypothesis of the secretory mechanism that protein kinase C mediates amylase secretion in rat parotid glands.

The combination of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin produces a dramatic increase in the incorporation of [2-3H]mannose into Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol and glycoprotein, and the induction of RNA and DNA synthesis in murine splenic B lymphocytes (B cells). The kinetics of the induction processes and the concentrations of PMA and ionomycin required for the optimal response have been defined. While the levels of induction of RNA and DNA synthesis by PMA + ionomycin were similar to the mitogenic response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, activation by PMA and the calcium ionophore resulted in a threefold higher stimulation in dolichol-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis and protein N-glycosylation. These results indicate that all signalling mechanisms that trigger RNA and DNA synthesis may not be sufficient to produce maximal induction of the N-glycosylation apparatus. 1-(5-Isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), a potent protein kinase C inhibitor, prevented the induction of protein N-glycosylation activity (IC50 = 11 microM), as well as RNA (IC50 = 18 microM) and DNA synthesis (IC50 = 12 microM), two common indices of B cell activation. N-[2-(Methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (H-8) also inhibited the induction of oligosaccharide-lipid intermediate, glycoprotein, RNA, and DNA synthesis, but required higher concentrations than H-7 for 50% inhibition. N-(2-Guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (HA1004), a potent inhibitor of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases, had little effect on the activation of the B cell metabolic processes. The H-7-sensitive reactions involved in the induction of RNA and DNA synthesis occurred within 4 h, but induction of lipid intermediate and glycoprotein biosynthesis remained sensitive to H-7 for 10 h after exposure to PMA and ionomycin. Direct in vitro assays in the presence of 0.6% Brij 58 reveal that a cytosolic, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase activity is translocated to a membrane site(s) after treatment with PMA and ionomycin, and the translocated protein kinase is sensitive to H-7. The relative order of potency of the protein kinase inhibitors on the metabolic processes strongly supports the hypothesis that protein kinase C, acting synergistically with Ca2+ mobilization, plays a key regulatory role in the early stages of B cell activation. The synthesis of oligosaccharide-lipid intermediates and protein N-glycosylation are also shown to be induced in B cells activated by PMA + ionomycin.

It has recently been demonstrated that the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe activates phospholipase D (PLD) in dimethyl sulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 granulocytes to produce phosphatidic acid (PA) and, in the presence of ethanol, phosphatidylethanol (PEt) (Pai, J.-K., Siegel, M. I., Egan, R. W., and Billah, M. M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 12472-12477). We now report that biologically active phorbol esters, a cell-permeable diacylglycerol, 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), and calcium ionophore A23187 are also potent inducers of PLD in these HL-60 granulocytes. HL-60 granulocytes have been selectively labeled in 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (alkyl-PC) with 32P by incubating the cells with alkyl-[32P]lyso-phosphatidylcholine (PC). When these labeled cells are treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, OAG, or A23187, alkyl-[32P]PA is formed. Because cellular ATP has not been labeled with 32P, the formation of alkyl-[32P]PA conclusively demonstrates PLD activation by these agents. In the presence of 0.5% ethanol, phorbol esters, OAG, and A23187 also induce formation of alkyl-[32P]PEt, demonstrating that the activated PLD catalyzes transphosphatidylation between the phosphatidyl moiety of the alkyl-[32P]PC and ethanol. Formation of alkyl-[32P]PA and alkyl-[32P]PEt in response to these various agents occurs in a time- and dose-dependent manner and exhibits differential Ca2+ requirements. Based on experiments with both [3H]alkyl-PC and alkyl-[32P]PC, it is concluded that alkyl-PA and alkyl-PEt formed in response to PMA, OAG, or A23187 are derived exclusively from PLD action on alkyl-PC. Furthermore, subthreshold concentrations of PMA (0.5-2.0 nM) or OAG (1.0-25 microM) combined with subthreshold levels of A23187 (15-60 nM) induce the formation of alkyl-[32P]PA and alkyl-[32P]PEt, suggesting that receptor-mediated activation of PLD might involve cooperative interactions between Ca2+ and diglyceride. Although PLD is activated by agents that also activate protein kinase C, the protein kinase C inhibitor, K252a, inhibits PMA-induced protein phosphorylation but causes only partial inhibition of PLD activation. We conclude that phorbol esters, OAG, and A23187 activate PLD in HL-60 granulocytes via protein kinase-independent as well as protein kinase-dependent mechanisms.
