The chemotactic migration toward platelet-derived growth factor-BB of SM3, a cell line established from rabbit aorta smooth muscle, was examined by the Boyden chamber method. Myosin light-chain (MLC) kinase inhibitors ML-9 and wortmannin, and the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 effectively reduced the migration. However, neither membrane ruffling nor the phosphorylation of MLC was inhibited concomitantly. The reduction is discussed with reference to a novel property of MLC kinase, which stimulates myosin ATPase activity without phosphorylating MLC [Ye et al. (1999) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96, 6666-6671].
