Abstract D3 dopamine receptor (D3R) is expressed mainly in parts of the brain that control the emotional behaviors. It is believed that the improper regulation of D3R is involved in the etiology of schizophrenia. Desensitization of D3R is weakly associated with G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK)/β-arrestin-directed internalization. This suggests that there might be an alternative pathway that regulates D3R signaling. This report shows that D3R undergoes robust protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent sequestration that is accompanied by receptor phosphorylation and the desensitization of signaling. PKC-dependent D3R sequestration, which was enhanced by PKC-β or -δ, was dynamin dependent but independent of GRK, β-arrestin, or caveolin 1. Site-directed mutagenesis of all possible phosphorylation sites within the intracellular loops of D3R identified serine residues at positions 229 and 257 as the critical amino acids responsible for phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-induced D3R phosphorylation, sequestration, and desensitization. In addition, the LxxY endocytosis motif, which is located between residues 252 and 255, was found to play accommodating roles for PMA-induced D3R sequestration. A continuous interaction with the actin-binding protein 280 (filamin A), which was previously known to interact with D3R, is required for PMA-induced D3R sequestration. In conclusion, the PKC-dependent but GRK-/β-arrestin-independent phosphorylation of D3R is the main pathway responsible for the sequestration and desensitization of D3R. Filamin A is essential for both the efficient signaling and sequestration of D3R.

We have investigated the role of protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction pathways in parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulation of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) gene expression in the rat osteoblast-like cell line UMR-106–01. Involvement of the PKC pathway was determined by the findings that bisindolylmaleimide I inhibited 40% of the PTH effect, and 1 μM bovine PTH-(3–34) stimulated a 10-fold induction of IGFBP-5 mRNA. PTH-(1–34) and PTH-(3–34) (100 nM) both stimulated PKC-δ translocation from the membrane to the nuclear fraction. Rottlerin, a PKC-δ-specific inhibitor, and a dominant negative mutant of PKC-δ were both able to significantly inhibit PTH-(1–34) and PTH-(3–34) induction of IGFBP-5 mRNA, suggesting a stimulatory role for PKC-δ in the effects of PTH. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulated PKC-α translocation from the cytosol to the membrane and inhibited ∼50% of the PTH-(1–34), forskolin, and 8-bromoadenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate-stimulated IGFBP-5 mRNA levels, suggesting that PKC-α negatively regulates protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated induction of IGFBP-5 mRNA. These results suggest that the induction of IGFBP-5 by PTH is both PKA and PKC dependent and PKC-δ is the primary mediator of the effects of PTH via the PKC pathway.

Abstract Background Several lines of evidence suggest the abnormalities of protein kinase C (PKC) signaling system in mood disorders and suicide based primarily on the studies of PKC and its isozymes in the platelets and postmortem brain of depressed and suicidal subjects. In this study we examined the role of PKC isozymes in depression and suicide. Methods We determined the protein and mRNA expression of various PKC isozymes in the prefrontal cortical region [Brodmann area 9 (BA9)] in 24 normal control (NC) subjects, 24 depressed suicide (DS) subjects and 12 depressed non-suicide (DNS) subjects. The levels of mRNA in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) were determined by qRT-PCR and the protein expression was determined by Western blotting. Results We observed a significant decrease in mRNA expression of PKCα, PKCβI, PKCδ and PKCε and decreased protein expression either in the membrane or the cytosol fraction of PKC isozymes - PKCα, PKCβI, PKCβII and PKCδ in DS and DNS subjects compared with NC subjects. Conclusions The current study provides detailed evidence of specific dysregulation of certain PKC isozymes in the postmortem brain of DS and DNS subjects and further supports earlier evidence for the role of PKC in the platelets and brain of adult and teenage depressed and suicidal population. This comprehensive study may lead to further knowledge of the involvement of PKC in the pathophysiology of depression and suicide.
