Phospholipase C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) activation has been reported to enhance cell survival during the cellular response to oxidative stress. We studied the role of protein kinase C (PKC) pathways in mediating PLC-γ1 survival signalling in oxidative stress by using mouse embryonic fibroblasts genetically deficient in PLC-γ1 (Plcg1−/−) and its wild type (Plcg1+/+). PLC-γ1 was activated by H2O2 treatment in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Activation of PKC was also markedly increased in both cell lines treated with H2O2 (1–5mM), but with low doses (50–200μM), PKC activation was considerably decreased in Plcg1−/− cells. After treatment with H2O2, PKC-dependent phosphorylation of Bcl-2 and cell viability of Plcg1−/− cells decreased dramatically and caspase-3-like activity increased significantly compared with that of the wild-type cells. Furthermore, pretreatment of Plcg1+/+ cells with PKC-specific inhibitor decreased levels of PKC-dependent Bcl-2 phosphorylation, enhanced caspase-3 activity and their sensitivity to H2O2. On the contrary, treatment of Plcg1−/− cells with PKC-specific activator increased the Bcl-2 phosphorylation, decreased caspase-3 activity and improved their survival. These results suggest that PLC-γ1 mediates survival signalling in oxidative-stress response by PKC-dependent phosphorylation of Bcl-2 and inhibition of caspase-3.

Protein kinase C-ϵ (PKC-ϵ) translocates to phagosomes and promotes uptake of IgG-opsonized targets. To identify the regions responsible for this concentration, green fluorescent protein (GFP)-protein kinase C-ϵ mutants were tracked during phagocytosis and in response to exogenous lipids. Deletion of the diacylglycerol (DAG)-binding ϵC1 and ϵC1B domains, or the ϵC1B point mutant ϵC259G, decreased accumulation at phagosomes and membrane translocation in response to exogenous DAG. Quantitation of GFP revealed that ϵC259G, ϵC1, and ϵC1B accumulation at phagosomes was significantly less than that of intact PKC-ϵ. Also, the DAG antagonist 1-hexadecyl-2-acetyl glycerol (EI-150) blocked PKC-ϵ translocation. Thus, DAG binding to ϵC1B is necessary for PKC-ϵ translocation. The role of phospholipase D (PLD), phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC)-γ1, and PI-PLC-γ2 in PKC-ϵ accumulation was assessed. Although GFP-PLD2 localized to phagosomes and enhanced phagocytosis, PLD inhibition did not alter target ingestion or PKC-ϵ localization. In contrast, the PI-PLC inhibitor U73122 decreased both phagocytosis and PKC-ϵ accumulation. Although expression of PI-PLC-γ2 is higher than that of PI-PLC-γ1, PI-PLC-γ1 but not PI-PLC-γ2 consistently concentrated at phagosomes. Macrophages from PI-PLC-γ2-/-mice were similar to wild-type macrophages in their rate and extent of phagocytosis, their accumulation of PKC-ϵ at the phagosome, and their sensitivity to U73122. This implicates PI-PLC-γ1 as the enzyme that supports PKC-ϵ localization and phagocytosis. That PI-PLC-γ1 was transiently tyrosine phosphorylated in nascent phagosomes is consistent with this conclusion. Together, these results support a model in which PI-PLC-γ1 provides DAG that binds to ϵC1B, facilitating PKC-ϵ localization to phagosomes for efficient IgG-mediated phagocytosis.

Kozawa O, Tokuda H, Suzuki A, Kotoyori J, Ito Y, Oiso Y. Effect of glucocorticoid on prostaglandin F2α-induced prostaglandin E2 synthesis in osteoblast-like cells: inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by phospholipase C as well as phospholipase A2. Eur J Endocrinol 1994;131:510–15. ISSN 0804–4643 It is well known that osteoporosis is a common complication of patients with glucocorticoid excess. We showed previously that prostaglandin (PG) F2α stimulates the synthesis of PGE2, a potent bone resorbing agent, and that the activation of protein kinase C amplifies the PGF2α-induced PGE2 synthesis through the potentiation of phospholipase A2 activity in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we examined the effect of dexamethasone on PGE2 synthesis induced by PGF2α in MC3T3-E1 cells. The pretreatment with dexamethasone significantly inhibited the PGE2 synthesis in a dose-dependent manner in the range between 0.1 and 10 nmol/l in these cells. This effect of dexamethasone was dependent on the time of pretreatment up to 8 h. Dexamethasone also inhibited PGE2 synthesis induced by melittin, known as a phospholipase A2 activator. Furthermore, dexamethasone significantly inhibited the enhancement of PGF2α- or melittin-induced PGE2 synthesis by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, known as a protein kinase C activator. In addition, dexamethasone significantly inhibited PGF2α-induced formation of inositol phosphates in a dose-dependent manner between 0.1 and 10 nmol/l in MC3T3-E1 cells. These results strongly suggest that glucocorticoid inhibits PGF2α-induced PGE2 synthesis through the inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by phospholipase C as well as phospholipase A2 in osteoblast-like cells.

Apoptotic death of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is a prominent feature of blood vessel remodeling and various vascular diseases. We have previously shown that protein kinase C-δ (PKC-δ) plays a critical role in SMC apoptosis. In this study, we tested the importance of PKC-δ proteolytic cleavage and tyrosine phosphorylation within the apoptosis pathway. Using hydrogen peroxide as a paradigm for oxidative stress, we showed that proteolytic cleavage of PKC-δ occurred in SMCs that underwent apoptosis, while tyrosine phosphorylation was detected only in necrotic cells. Furthermore, using a peptide (z-DIPD-fmk) that mimics the caspase-3 binding motif within the linker region of PKC-δ, we were able to prevent the cleavage of PKC-δ, as well as apoptosis. Inhibition of PKC-δ with rottlerin or small-interfering RNA diminished caspase-3 cleavage, caspase-3 activity, cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, cleavage of PKC-δ, and DNA fragmentation, confirming the previously reported role of PKC-δ in initiation of apoptosis. In contrast, z-DIPD-fmk markedly diminished caspase-3 activity, cleavage of PKC-δ, and DNA fragmentation without affecting cleavage of caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. Taken together, our data suggest that caspase-3-mediated PKC-δ cleavage underlies SMC apoptosis induced by oxidative stress, and that PKC-δ acts both upstream and downstream of caspase-3.

The effect of the cardiovascular drug carvedilol on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca 2+]i) and viability was examined in Statens Seruminstitut rabbit cornea (SIRC) corneal epithelial cells. [Ca2+]i and cell viability were measured using the fluorescent dyes fura-2 and 4-[3-[4-lodophenyl]-2-4(4-nitrophenyl)-2H-5-tetrazolio-1,3-benzene disulfonate] (WST-1), respectively. Carvedilol at concentrations between 1 and 30 μM increased [Ca 2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2+ signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca2+. Carvedilol induced Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence implicating Ca2+ influx. The Ca2+ influx was inhibited by suppression of protein kinase C activity. In Ca2+-free medium, after pretreatment with 1 μM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ pump inhibitor), carvedilol-induced [Ca2+]i rise was reduced; and conversely, carvedilol pretreatment inhibited a major part of thapsigargin-induced [Ca 2+]i rise. Addition of the phospholipase C inhibitor 1-[6-[[17 beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino] hexyl]-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122; 2 μM) did not change carvedilol-induced [Ca2+]i rise. At concentrations between 5 and 70 μM, carvedilol killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of 20 μM carvedilol was not reversed by prechelating cytosolic Ca2+ with BAPTA/AM. Apoptosis was induced by 5—70 μM carvedilol. Collectively, in SIRC corneal epithelial cells, carvedilol-induced [Ca2+]i rises by causing Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C-independent manner, and Ca 2+ influx via protein kinase C-regulated Ca2+ channels. Carvedilol-caused cytotoxicity was mediated by Ca2+-independent apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner.

Protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms phosphorylated phospholipase C-β1 (PLC-β1) in vitro as follows: PKCα ≫ PKCϵ; not PKCζ. PLC-β3 was not phosphorylated by PKCα. G-protein βγ subunits inhibited the PKCα phosphorylation of PLC-β1 in a concentration-dependent manner. Half-maximal inhibition occurred with 500 nM βγ. G-protein βγ subunits also antagonized the PKCα-mediated inhibition of PLC-β1 enzymic activity. PKCα, in turn, inhibited the stimulation of PLC-β1 activity by βγ. There was little effect of PKCα on the stimulation of PLC-β1 by αq/11–guanosine 5′[γ-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]). These findings demonstrate that G protein βγ subunits antagonize PKCα regulation of PLC-β1. Thus βγ subunits might have a role in modulating the negative feedback regulation of this signalling system by PKC.

Stimulation Of

Stimulation of changes in cytosolic free calcium by parathyroid hormone was determined in three opossum kidney (OK) cell types, OK wild-type, OKP clone, and OKH clone. All three types of OK cells express parathyroid hormone (PTH)-sensitive adenylate cyclase and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production. However, only the OK wild-type and the OKP clone respond to PTH with inhibition of sodium-dependent Pi transport and transient increase in cytosolic calcium. Characterization of the increases in cytosolic calcium in the wild-type and OKP clones revealed they were due in part to stimulation of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, probably by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which was stimulated by PTH. PTH-stimulated Ca2+ transients were also inhibited by protein kinase C activation. These data are compatible with PTH receptor-mediated phospholipase C activation and its feedback inhibition by protein kinase C. The OKH cells demonstrated a slow increase in cytosolic calcium when stimulated by cyclic nucleotides but no evidence for PTH stimulation of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. Thus the absence of an inhibitory response of sodium-dependent Pi transport to PTH in the OKH cells is associated with the absence of the rapid transient elevations of cytosolic Ca2+ such as those produced by IP3 production. These data suggest an important cooperative role for cAMP and the phospholipase C-stimulated Ca2(+)-protein kinase C message system in the regulation of Pi transport.

The function of the small-Mr Ras-like GTPase Rap1 remains largely unknown, but this protein has been demonstrated to regulate cortical actin-based morphologic changes inDictyostelium and the oxidative burst in mammalian neutrophils. To test whether Rap1 regulates phagocytosis, we biochemically analyzed cell lines that conditionally and modestly overexpressed wild-type [Rap1 WT(+)], constitutively active [Rap1 G12T(+)], and dominant negative [Rap1 S17N(+)] forms of D. discoideum Rap1. The rates of phagocytosis of bacteria and latex beads were significantly higher in Rap1 WT(+) and Rap1 G12T(+) cells and were reduced in Rap1 S17N(+) cells. The addition of inhibitors of protein kinase A, protein kinase G, protein tyrosine kinase, or phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase did not affect phagocytosis rates in wild-type cells. In contrast, the addition of U73122 (a phospholipase C inhibitor), calphostin C (a protein kinase C inhibitor), and BAPTA-AM (an intracellular Ca2+ chelator) reduced phagocytosis rates by 90, 50, and 65%, respectively, suggesting both arms of the phospholipase C signaling pathways played a role in this process. Other protein kinase C–specific inhibitors, such as chelerythrine and bisindolylmaleimide I, did not reduce phagocytosis rates in control cells, suggesting calphostin C was affecting phagocytosis by interfering with a protein containing a diacylglycerol-binding domain. The addition of calphostin C did not reduce phagocytosis rates in Rap1 G12T(+) cells, suggesting that the putative diacylglycerol-binding protein acted upstream in a signaling pathway with Rap1. Surprisingly, macropinocytosis was significantly reduced in Rap1 WT(+) and Rap1 G12T(+) cells compared with control cells. Together our results suggest that Rap1 and Ca2+ may act together to coordinate important early events regulating phagocytosis.

Cathepsin G, an enzyme released by stimulated polymorphonuclear neutrophils, and thrombin are two human proteinases which potently trigger platelet activation. Unlike thrombin, the mechanisms by which cathepsin G initiates platelet activation have yet to be elucidated. The involvement of the phospholipase C (PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC) pathway in cathepsin G-induced activation was investigated and compared with stimulation by thrombin. Exposure of 5-[14C]hydroxytryptamine-labelled platelets to cathepsin G, in the presence of acetylsalicylic acid and phosphocreatine/creatine kinase, induced platelet aggregation and degranulation in a concentration-dependent manner (0.1-3.0 μM). Time-course studies (0-180 s) comparing equivalent concentrations of cathepsin G (3 μM) and thrombin (0.5 unit/ml) resulted in very similar transient hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and steady accumulation of phosphatidic acid. In addition cathepsin G, like thrombin, initiated the production of inositol phosphates. The neutrophil-derived proteinase also induced phosphorylation of both the myosin light chain and pleckstrin, a substrate for PKC, to levels similar to those observed in platelets challenged with thrombin. Inhibition of PKC by GF 109203X, a specific inhibitor, suppressed platelet aggregation and degranulation to the same extent for both proteinases. Using fura 2-loaded platelets, the rise in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration induced by cathepsin G was shown to result, as for thrombin, from both mobilization of internal stores and Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane. These findings provide evidence that cathepsin G stimulates the PLC/PKC pathway as potently as does thrombin, independently of thromboxane A2 formation and ADP release, and that this pathway is required for platelet functional responses.
