Exogenous sn-1,2-diacylglycerols containing saturated fatty acids function as bioregulators of protein kinase C in human platelets.
The ability of exogenous sn-1,2-diacylglycerols and analogs to function as bioregulators of protein kinase C in human platelets was investigated. The activation of protein kinase C in platelets is indicated by specific phosphorylation of a 40,000-dalton protein. Dihexanoylglycerol, dioctanoylglycerol (diC8), didecanoylglycerol, and sn-1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol were active in stimulating 40,000-...
متن کاملMetabolism of Exogenous Diacylglycerols by Human Platelets*
The metabolism of exogenous [3H]diacylglycerols by intact human platelets was studied in order to examine: 1) the metabolic fate of these second messengers in an intact cell, 2) the effect of diacylglycerol kinase and diacylglycerol lipase inhibitors on this metabolism, 3) the effect of agonist stimulation on metabolism, and 4) the dependence of metabolism on diacylglycerol chain length. When 2...
متن کاملSynthetic diacylglycerols (DAG) and DAG-lactones as activators of protein kinase C (PK-C).
The central role of protein kinase C (PK-C) in cellular signal transduction has established it as an important therapeutic target for cancer and other diseases. We have developed a series of 4,4-disubstituted-gamma-butyrolactones, which contain a constrained glycerol backbone (DAG-lactones) and behave as potent and selective activating ligands of PK-C with affinities that approach those of the ...
متن کاملDifferent impacts of saturated and unsaturated free fatty acids on COX-2 expression in C(2)C(12) myotubes.
In skeletal muscle, saturated free fatty acids (FFAs) act as proinflammatory stimuli, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a pro/anti-inflammatory enzyme induced at sites of inflammation, which contributes to prostaglandin production. However, little is known about the regulation of COX-2 expression and its responses to FFAs in skeletal muscle. Herein, we examined the effects of saturated and unsatu...
متن کاملRegulation of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol second-messenger formation in thrombin-stimulated human platelets. Potentiation by protein kinase C inhibitors.
Stimulation of platelets with thrombin leads to rapid degradation of inositol phospholipids, generation of diacylglycerol (DAG) and subsequent activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Previous studies indicated that prior activation of PKC with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) desensitizes platelets to thrombin stimulation, as indicated by a decreased production of inositol phosphates and decreased...
