Chronic sympathetic denervation entails subsensitivity to alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonists and supersensitivity to kappa- and mu-opioid receptor agonists modulating cholinergic neurons in the guinea pig colon. A possible role for signal transduction G proteins in contributing to development of these sensitivity changes was investigated. Pertussis toxin (PTX), a blocker of the G(i/o)-type family of G proteins significantly reduced the inhibitory effects of UK14,304 (alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist), U69593 (kappa-opioid receptor agonist) and DAMGO (mu-opioid receptor agonist) on acetylcholine (ACh) overflow in preparations obtained from normal animals, but not in those obtained from sympathetically denervated animals. In this experimental condition, immunoblot analysis revealed reduced levels of G(alphao), G(alphai2), G(alphai3) and G(beta) in myenteric plexus synaptosomes. On reverse, synaptosomal levels of G(alphai1) and G(alphaz), a PTX-insensitive G-protein, increased after chronic ablation of the sympathetic pathways. These data suggest that changes in the function and expression of inhibitory G proteins coupled to alpha(2)-adrenoceptors, kappa- and mu-opioid receptors occur in the myenteric plexus of the guinea pig colon after chronic sympathetic denervation. The possibility that regulation of G proteins represents one of the biochemical mechanisms at the basis of the changes in sensitivity of enteric cholinergic neurons to alpha(2)-adrenoceptor, kappa- and mu-opioid receptor agonists is discussed. 相似文献

In the guinea-pig colon, acetylcholine (ACh) release from intrinsic cholinergic motor neurons is inhibited by adrenoceptors, opioid and muscarinic receptors. Chronic sympathetic denervation resulted in supersensitivity to the inhibitory effect of DAMGO (mu-opioid agonist) on ACh release and on the peristaltic reflex. After chronic treatment with naltrexone (NTX) supersensitivity to DAMGO and subsensitivity to UK14,304 (alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist) developed for both functional parameters. The facilitatory effect of scopolamine on ACh release remained unchanged after chronic NTX treatment, whereas it was potentiated after chronic sympathetic denervation. These data suggest the existence of a functional interaction between different inhibitory pathways modulating cholinergic motor neurons in the guinea-pig colon. Namely, chronic manipulation of an inhibitory pathway may entail adaptive sensitivity changes in another inhibitory pathway so that homeostasis can be maintained. 相似文献

The muscarinic agonist, acetylcholine (ACh), stimulates phospholipase D (PLD) activity in tracheal smooth muscle cells. Direct activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) also stimulates PLD in this tissue. Activation of ACh-induced PLD was inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein in a concentration-dependent manner. Presently known isoforms of PLD, PLD1 and PLD2, were identified in tracheal smooth muscle and their activation-induced phosphorylation status studied. Both ACh and PMA increased phosphorylation of PLD1 that was significantly blocked by genistein or the PKC inhibitor calphostin C. PLD2 phosphorylation was not detected in the present experiments. Western blots probed with an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody indicate that PLD1 in this tissue is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues after ACh or PMA stimulation. Tyrosine phosphorylation of PLD1 was blocked by genistein and calphostin C. No tyrosine residues were phosphorylated on PLD2. Taken together, these results demonstrate that porcine tracheal smooth muscle cells express both isoforms PLD1 and PLD2. However, on muscarinic activation only PLD1 in this tissue is phosphorylated by PKC via a tyrosine-kinase-dependent pathway. 相似文献

Evidence that Protein Kinase C Activities Involved in Regulating Neurite Growth Are Localized to Distal Neurites 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Abstract: Previously, we observed that long-term treatment of distal nerve fibers of rat sympathetic neurons in compartmented cultures with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) caused a reduction in the rate of neurite elongation by >50%. In the present report we show that protein kinase C (PKC) activity could be measured in extracts of distal neurites by an assay of the Ca2+ -dependent phosphorylation of a PKC-specific octapeptide substrate. We found that local application of 1 µ M PMA for 24 h to distal neurites caused nearly complete down-regulation of Ca2+ -dependent PKC activity measured in this manner. We determined that the inhibition of neurite elongation by PMA was mediated by local mechanisms in the neurites because local application of PMA to center compartments containing cell bodies and proximal neurites did not inhibit the rate of elongation of distal neurites. We then investigated the effects of the recently available PKC inhibitors, calphostin C and chelerythrine, finding that, like PMA, these inhibited the growth of distal neurites when applied locally to them, and had no effect when applied to cell bodies and proximal neurites. However, the inhibition of neurite growth by calphostin C occurred at a concentration far below its IC50 value for protein kinase inhibition, and both calphostin C and chelerythrine inhibited distal neurite growth even in neurons pretreated with PMA. Thus, it appears that these agents do not all inhibit neurite growth through the same mechanisms. Although the PKC activities involved in neurite elongation in sympathetic neurons have not been precisely defined, these data presented in this study indicate that protein kinases localized to growth cones play a complex and important role in regulating axonal growth. 相似文献

At the rat motor endplate, pre-synaptic facilitatory adenosine A2A and muscarinic M1 receptors are mutually exclusive. We investigated whether these receptors share a common intracellular signalling pathway. Suppression of McN-A-343-induced M1 facilitation of [3H]ACh release was partially recovered when CGS21680C (an A2A agonist) was combined with the cyclic AMP antagonist Rp-cAMPS. Forskolin, rolipram and 8-bromo-cyclic AMP mimicked CGS21680C blockade of M1 facilitation. Both Rp-cAMPs and nifedipine reduced augmentation of [3H]ACh release by McN-A-343 and CGS21680C. Activation of M1 and A2A receptors enhanced Ca2+ recruitment through nifedipine-sensitive channels. Nifedipine inhibition revealed by McN-A-343 was prevented by chelerythrine (a PKC inhibitor) and Rp-cAMPS, suggesting that Ca(v)1 (L-type) channels phosphorylation by PKA and PKC is required. Rp-cAMPS inhibited [3H]ACh release in the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, but PKC inhibition by chelerythrine had no effect on release in the presence of 8-bromo-cyclic AMP. This suggests that the involvement of PKA may be secondary to M1-induced PKC activation. In conclusion, competition of M1 and A2A receptors to facilitate ACh release from motoneurons may occur by signal convergence to a common pathway involving PKA activation and Ca2+ influx through Ca(v)1 (L-type) channels. 相似文献

The involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) and protein kinase A (PKA) in cholinergic signalling in CHO cells expressing the M3 subtype of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor was examined. Muscarinic signalling was assessed by measuring carbachol-induced activation of phospholipase C (PLC), arachidonic acid release, and calcium mobilisation. Carbachol activation of PLC was not altered by inhibition of PKC with chelerythrine chloride, bisindolylmaleimide or chronic treatment with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Activation of PKC by acute treatment with PMA was similarly without effect. In contrast, inhibition of PKC blocked carbachol stimulation of arachidonic acid release. Likewise, PKC inhibition resulted in a decreased ability of carbachol to mobilise calcium, whereas PKC activation potentiated calcium mobilisation. Inhibition of PKA with H89 or Rp-cAMP did not alter the ability of carbachol to activate PLC. Similarly, PKA activation with Sp-cAMP or forskolin had no effect on PLC stimulation by carbachol. Carbachol-mediated release of arachidonic acid was decreased by H89 but only slightly increased by forskolin. Forskolin also increased calcium mobilisation by carbachol. These results suggest a function for PKC and PKA in M3 stimulation of arachidonic acid release and calcium mobilisation but not in PLC activation. 相似文献

蛋白激酶C在小鼠卵母细胞体外成熟和受精中的作用 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
蛋白激酶是一类重要的丝/苏氨酸蛋白激酶。本实验以小鼠为实验动物,研究了PKC在卵母细胞体外成熟、活化和受精中的可能作用,及两种PKC亚型在卵母细胞中的定位。PKC激活剂PMA可以阻止GV期卵母细胞在体外恢复减数分裂,该作用可被PKC抑制剂CalphostinC抵消,但不能被PLCγ抑制剂U73122或PKCδ专一性抑制剂Rottlerin所克服。Western印迹显示PKCα和βI在卵母细胞发育过程中恒量表达。激光共聚焦显微术研究发现,受精或受到活化刺激后PKCα转位到卵母细胞膜上,同时皮质颗粒排放,说明PKCα可能参与调节卵皮质反应。本实验首次在小鼠中研究了PLCγ与受精的关系,发现不存在PKC对PLCγ的正反馈调节。此外,本研究还对小鼠卵巢中对PKCα和βI进行了蛋白定位研究。 相似文献

Abstract: The present work tested whether pharmacological activation of protein kinase C (PKC) influences the release of [3 H]-acetylcholine ([3 H]ACh) synthesized in the presence of vesamicol, an inhibitor of the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT). Newly synthesized [3 H]ACh was released from hippocampal slices by field stimulation (15 Hz) in the absence of vesamicol, but as expected [3 H]ACh synthesized during exposure to vesamicol was not released significantly by stimulation. Treatment of slices with the PKC activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) decreased the inhibitory effect of vesamicol on [3 H]ACh release. The effect of PMA was dose-dependent, was sensitive to calphostin C, a PKC-selective inhibitor, and could not be mimicked by α-PMA, an inactive phorbol ester. PMA did not alter the release of [3 H]ACh in the absence of vesamicol, suggesting that the site of PKC action could be related to the VAChT. In agreement with this observation, immunoprecipitation of VAChT from 32 P-labeled synaptosomes showed that phosphorylation occurs and that incorporation of 32 P in the VAChT protein increases in the presence of PMA. We suggest that PKC alters the output of [3 H]ACh formed in the presence of vesamicol and also provide circumstantial evidence for a role of phosphorylation of VAChT in this process. 相似文献

The present studies were undertaken to examine the possible regulation of apical membrane Cl-/OH- exchanger in Caco-2 cells by protein kinase C (PKC). The effect of the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), an in vitro PKC agonist, on OH- gradient-driven 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS)-sensitive 36Cl uptake in Caco-2 cells was assessed. The results demonstrated that PMA decreased apical Cl-/OH- exchanger activity via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)-mediated activation of PKCepsilon. The data consistent with these conclusions are as follows: 1) short-term treatment of cells for 1-2 h with PMA (100 nM) significantly decreased Cl-/OH- exchange activity compared with control (4alpha-PMA); 2) pretreatment of cells with specific PKC inhibitors chelerythrine chloride, calphostin C, and GF-109203X completely blocked the inhibition of Cl-/OH- exchange activity by PMA; 3) specific inhibitors for PKCepsilon (Ro-318220) but not PKCalpha (Go-6976) significantly blocked the PMA-mediated inhibition; 4) specific PI3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin and LY-294002 significantly attenuated the inhibitory effect of PMA; and 5) PI3-kinase activators IRS-1 peptide and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P(3)] mimicked the effects of PMA. These findings provide the first evidence for PKCepsilon-mediated inhibition of Cl-/OH- exchange activity in Caco-2 cells and indicate the involvement of the PI3-kinase-mediated pathways in the regulation of Cl- absorption in intestinal epithelial cells. 相似文献

Endozepines, a family of regulatory peptides related to diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI), are synthesized and released by astroglial cells. Because rat astrocytes express various subtypes of somatostatin receptors (sst), we have investigated the effect of somatostatin on DBI mRNA level and endozepine secretion in rat astrocytes in secondary culture. Somatostatin reduced in a concentration-dependent manner the level of DBI mRNA in cultured astrocytes. This inhibitory effect was mimicked by the selective sst4 receptor agonist L803-087 but not by the selective sst1, sst2 and sst3 receptor agonists L779-591, L779-976 and L797-778, respectively. Somatostatin was unable to further reduce DBI mRNA level in the presence of the MEK inhibitor U0126. Somatostatin and the sst1, sst2 and sst4 receptor agonists induced a concentration-dependent inhibition of endozepine release. Somatostatin and the sst1, sst2 and sst4 receptor agonists also inhibited cAMP formation dose-dependently. In addition, somatostatin reduced forskolin-induced endozepine release. H89 mimicked the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on endozepine secretion. In contrast the PLC inhibitor U73122, the PKC activator PMA and the PKC inhibitor calphostin C had no effect on somatostatin-induced inhibition of endozepine release. The present data demonstrate that somatostatin reduces DBI mRNA level mainly through activation of sst4 receptors negatively coupled to the MAPK pathway, and inhibits endozepine release through activation of sst1, sst2 and sst4 receptors negatively coupled to the adenylyl cyclase/PKA pathway. 相似文献

In order to analyze the effect of protein kinase C(PKC) on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells by the whole-cell clamp technique, chelerythrine, a well-known inhibitor of PKC, was used to investigate the influence of PKC on acetylcholine (ACh)-induced current. When cells were preincubated with chelerythrine (0.1-10 microM) for 5 min, an inhibitory effect of chelerythrine on the peak of ACh-induced current was found. This effect was concentration-dependent, voltage-independent, and time-dependent within 1-6 min and reversible. However, intracellular dialysis with 0.1-5 microM PKCI 19-31, a specific pseudosubstrate PKC inhibitor, did not affect the inhibitory effect of chelerythrine. These results suggest that chelerythrine has an inhibitory effect on ACh-induced current in PC12 cells and that this effect is independent of its inhibition on PKC, may represent a new pharmacological effect of chelerythrine, and is mediated by an alternative mechanism. 相似文献

The effects of protein kinase C (PKC) activation and inhibition on the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) responses of rat submandibular acinar cells were investigated. IP3 formation in response to acetylcholine (ACh) was not affected by the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), nor by the PKC inhibitor calphostin C (CaC). The ACh-elicited initial increase in [Ca2+]i in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ was not changed by short-term (0.5 min) exposure to PMA, but significantly reduced by long-term (30 min) exposure to PMA, and also by pre-exposure to the PKC inhibitors CaC and chelerythrine chloride (ChC). After ACh stimulation, subsequent exposure to ionomycin caused a significantly (258%) larger [Ca2+]i increase in CaC-treated cells than in control cells. However, pre-exposure to CaC for 30 min did not alter the Ca2+ release induced by ionomycin alone. These results suggest that the reduction of the initial [Ca2+]i increase is due to an inhibition of the Ca2+ release mechanism and not to store shrinkage. The thapsigargin (TG)-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was significantly reduced by short-term (0.5 min), but not by long-term (30 min) exposure to PMA, nor by pre-exposure to ChC or CaC. Subsequent exposure to ionomycin after TG resulted in a significantly (70%) larger [Ca2+]i increase in PMA-treated cells than in control cells, suggesting that activation of PKC slows down the Ca2+ efflux or passive leak seen in the presence of TG. Taken together, these results indicate that inhibition of PKC reduces the IP3-induced Ca2+ release and activation of PKC reduces the Ca2+ efflux seen after inhibition of the endoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase in submandibular acinar cells. 相似文献

Signaling mechanisms coupled to activation of different neurotransmitter receptors interact in the enteric nervous system. ACh excites myenteric neurons by activating nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) and muscarinic receptors expressed by the same neurons. These studies tested the hypothesis that muscarinic receptor activation alters the functional properties of nAChRs in guinea pig small intestinal myenteric neurons maintained in primary culture. Whole cell patch-clamp techniques were used to measure inward currents caused by ACh (1 mM) or nicotine (1 mM). Currents caused by ACh and nicotine were blocked by hexamethonium (100 microM) and showed complete cross desensitization. The rate and extent of nAChR desensitization was greater when recordings were obtained with ATP/GTP-containing compared with ATP/GTP-free pipette solutions. These data suggest that ATP/GTP-dependent mechanisms increase nAChR desensitization. The muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine (1 microM) decreased desensitization caused by ACh but not by nicotine, which does not activate muscarinic receptors. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (10-100 nM), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), but not 4-alpha-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (a PKC inactive phorbol ester), increased nAChR desensitization caused by ACh and nicotine. Forskolin (1 microM), an activator of adenylate cyclase, increased nAChR desensitization, but this effect was mimicked by dideoxyforskolin, an adenylate cyclase inactive forskolin analog. These data indicate that simultaneous activation of nAChRs and muscarinic receptors increases nAChR desensitization. This effect may involve activation of a PKC-dependent pathway. These data also suggest that nAChRs and muscarinic receptors are coupled functionally through an intracellular signaling pathway in myenteric neurons. 相似文献

Recently, we have isolated a cDNA encoding a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) from Caenorhabditis elegans. To investigate the regulation of phospholipase D (PLD) signaling via a muscarinic receptor, we generated stable transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that overexpress the mAChR of C. elegans (CHO-GAR-3). Carbachol (CCh) induced inositol phosphate formation and a significantly higher Ca(2+) elevation and stimulated PLD activity through the mAChR; this was insensitive to pertussis toxin, but its activity was abolished by the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U73122. Western blot analysis revealed several apparent tyrosine-phosphorylated protein bands after CCh treatment. The CCh-induced PLD activation and tyrosine phosphorylation were significantly reduced by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor calphostin C and down-regulation of PKC and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein. Moreover, the Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) inhibitor KN62, in addition to chelation of extracellular or intracellular Ca(2+) by EGTA and BAPTA/AM, abolished CCh-induced PLD activation and protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Taken together, these results suggest that the PLC/PKC-PLD pathway and the CaM kinase II/tyrosine kinase-PLD pathway are involved in the activation of PLD through mAChRs of C. elegans. 相似文献

Copper is necessary for all organisms since it acts as a cofactor in different enzymes, although toxic at high concentrations. ATP7B is one of two copper-transporting ATPases in humans, its vital role being manifested in Wilson disease due to a mutation in the gene that encodes this pump. Our objective has been to determine whether pathways involving protein kinase C (PKC) modulate ATP7B activity. Different isoforms of PKC (α, ɛ, ζ) were found in Golgi-enriched membrane fractions obtained from porcine liver. Cu(I)–ATPase activity was assessed in the presence of different activators and inhibitors of PKC signaling pathways. PMA (10−8 M), a PKC activator, increased Cu(I)–ATPase activity by 60%, whereas calphostin C and U73122 (PKC and PLC inhibitors, respectively) decreased the activity by 40%. Addition of phosphatase λ decreased activity by 60%, irrespective of pre-incubation with PMA. No changes were detected with 2 μM Ca2+, whereas PMA plus EGTA increased activity. This enhanced activity elicited by PMA decreased with a specific inhibitor of PKCɛ to levels comparable with those found after phosphatase λ treatment, showing that the ɛ isoform is essential for activation of the enzyme. This regulatory phosphorylation enhanced Vmax without modifying affinities for ATP and copper. It can be concluded that signaling pathways leading to DAG formation and PKCɛ activation stimulate the active transport of copper by ATP7B, thus evidencing a central role for this specific kinase-mediated mechanism in hepatic copper handling. 相似文献

Cellular cholesterol efflux is modulated by phospholipid-derived signaling molecules in familial HDL deficiency/Tangier disease fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Familial HDL deficiency (FHD) is the heterozygous form of Tangier disease (TD). Mutations of the ABCA1 gene cause FHD and TD. FHD/TD cells are unable to normally efflux cholesterol onto nascent HDL particles, which are rapidly catabolized. TD fibroblasts have an abnormal pattern of PLC and PLD activation following cell stimulation with HDL(3) or apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I). We examined cellular cholesterol efflux in FHD and TD fibroblasts by phospholipid-derived-molecules, compared with that of normal cells. We used the PKC agonist 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (DOG) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to activate PKC, calphostin C, and GO 6976, as inhibitors of PKC; phosphatidic acid (PA), which is the product of PLD, and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and beta-cyclodextrin to investigate their potential effect in modulating cellular cholesterol efflux in [(3)H]cholesterol-labeled and cholesterol-loaded fibroblasts. Phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and beta-cyclodextrin promoted cholesterol efflux in an identical fashion in control, FHD, or TD fibroblasts. In a dose-dependent fashion, DOG (0-200 microM) increased apoA-I-mediated cellular cholesterol efflux by 40% in controls, 71% in FHD, and 242% in TD cells. PMA similarly increased cholesterol efflux to a maximum of 256% in controls, 182% in FHD, and 191% in TD cells. This effect was inhibited by calphostin C. PA (100 microM) also increased cholesterol efflux by 25% in control, 44% in FHD, and 100% in TD cells. Conversely, LPA reduced cholesterol efflux in a dose-dependent fashion in control and FHD cells (-50%, 200 microM) but not in TD cells, where efflux was increased by 140%. Propranolol (100 microM) significantly increased cholesterol efflux at 24 h in all three cell lines. n-Butanol partially decreased the DOG-mediated increase in cholesterol efflux. The inhibitory effect of calphostin C on DOG-stimulated cholesterol efflux could be partially overcome by propranolol, suggesting that PA is a downstream mediator of PKC-stimulated cholesterol efflux.We conclude that PLC and PLD activities are required for apoA-I-mediated cellular cholesterol efflux, and modulating cellular PA concentration can correct, at least partially, the cholesterol efflux defect in FHD and TD. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) rapidly increases jejunal glucose transport. Signal transduction mechanisms mediating EGF-induced alterations in jejunal glucose transport remain to be determined. New Zealand White rabbit (1 kg) jejunal tissue was stripped and mounted in short-circuited Ussing chambers. The transport of tritiated 3-O-methylglucose was measured in the presence of the PKC agonist 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (1,2-DOG) or the inactive analog 1,3-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (1,3-DOG). Additional experiments examined the effect of the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine, the PLC inhibitor U73122, the MAPK inhibitor PD 98059, the G-protein inhibitor GDP-betaS, the PI 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002, or the microtubule inhibitor colchicine on EGF-induced jejunal glucose transport. Net jejunal 3-O-methylglucose absorption was significantly increased following specific activation of PKC. A PKC antagonist inhibited the EGF-induced increase in net 3-O-methylglucose transport, while PI 3-kinase inhibition completely blocked the EGF-induced transport increase. Inhibition of PLC, MAPK, G-proteins, and microtubules had no effect on EGF-stimulated increases in jejunal transport. We conclude that the effect of EGF on jejunal glucose transport is mediated at least in part by PKC and PI 3-kinase. 相似文献

Although muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) regulate the activity of smooth muscle myosin, the effects of mAChR activation on cytoplasmic myosin have not been characterized. We found that activation of transfected human M3 mAChR induces the phosphorylation of myosin light chains (MLC) and the formation of myosin-containing stress fibers in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-m3) cells. Direct activation of protein kinase C (PKC) with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) also induces myosin light chain phosphorylation and myosin reorganization in CHO-m3 cells. Conventional (alpha), novel (delta), and atypical (iota) PKC isoforms are activated by mAChR stimulation or PMA treatment in CHO-m3 cells, as indicated by PKC translocation or degradation. mAChR-mediated myosin reorganization is abolished by inhibiting conventional PKC isoforms with Go6976 (IC50 = 0.4 microM), calphostin C (IC50 = 2.4 microM), or chelerythrine (IC50 = 8.0 microM). Stable expression of dominant negative RhoAAsn-19 diminishes, but does not abolish, mAChR-mediated myosin reorganization in the CHO-m3 cells. Similarly, mAChR-mediated myosin reorganization is diminished, but not abolished, in CHO-m3 cells which are multi-nucleate due to inactivation of Rho with C3 exoenzyme. Expression of dominant negative RhoAAsn-19 or inactivation of RhoA with C3 exoenzyme does not affect PMA-induced myosin reorganization. These findings indicate that the PKC-mediated pathway of myosin reorganization (induced either by M3 mAChR activation or PMA treatment) can continue to operate even when RhoA activity is diminished in CHO-m3 cells. Conventional PKC isoforms and RhoA may participate in separate but parallel pathways induced by M3 mAChR activation to regulate cytoplasmic myosin. Changes in cytoplasmic myosin elicited by M3 mAChR activation may contribute to the unique ability of these receptors to regulate cell morphology, adhesion, and proliferation. 相似文献

We studied the modulation by protein kinase C (PKC) of the cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation induced by prostaglandin (PG) E2 in rat neonatal microglial cultures. Short pretreatment of microglia with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or 4beta-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, which activate PKC, but not with the inactive 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, substantially reduced cAMP accumulation induced by 1 microM PGE2. The action of PMA was dose and time dependent, and the maximal inhibition (approximately 85%) was obtained after 10-min preincubation with 100 nM PMA. The inhibitory effect of PMA was mimicked by diacylglycerol and was prevented by the PKC inhibitor calphostin C. As PMA did not affect isoproterenol- or forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation, we investigated whether activation of PKC decreased cAMP production by acting directly at PGE2 EP receptors. Neither sulprostone (10(-9)-10(-5) M), a potent agonist at EP3 receptors (coupled to adenylyl cyclase inhibition), nor 17-phenyl-PGE2 (10(-6)-10(-5) M), an agonist of EP1 receptors, modified cAMP accumulation induced by forskolin. On the contrary, 11-deoxy-16,16-dimethyl PGE2, which does not discriminate between EP2 and EP4 receptors, both coupled to the activation of adenylyl cyclase, and butaprost, a selective EP2 agonist, induced a dose-dependent elevation of cAMP that was largely reduced by PMA pretreatment, as in the case of PGE2. These results indicated EP2 receptors as a possible target of PKC and suggest that PKC-activating agents present in the pathological brain may prevent the cAMP-mediated microglia-deactivating function of PGE2. 相似文献

The study investigated the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the modulation of agonist-induced Ca2+-dependent anion secretion by pancreatic duct cells. The short-circuit current (ISC) technique was used to examine the effect of PKC activation and inhibition on subsequent ATP, angiotensin II and ionomycin-activated anion secretion by normal (CAPAN-1) and cystic fibrosis (CFPAC-1) pancreatic duct cells. The ISC responses induced by the Ca2+-mobilizing agents, which had been previously shown to be attributed to anion secretion, were enhanced in both CAPAN-1 and CFPAC-1 cells by PKC inhibitors, staurosporine, calphostin C or chelerythrine. On the contrary, a PKC activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), was found to suppress the agonist-induced ISC in CFPAC-1 cells and the ionomycin-induced ISC in CAPAN-1 cells. An inactive form of PMA, 4alphad-phorbol 12, 13-didecanote (4alphaD), was found to exert insignificant effect on the agonist-induced ISC, indicating a specific effect of PMA. Our data suggest a role of PKC in modulating agonist-induced Ca2+-dependent anion secretion by pancreatic duct cells. Therapeutic strategy to augment Ca2+-activated anion secretion by cystic fibrosis pancreatic duct cells may be achieved by inhibition or down-regulation of PKC. 相似文献
