Studies with protein kinase C inhibitors presently available cannot elucidate the role of protein kinase C in the activation of NADPH oxidase.

چکیده
The effects of various protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors on NADPH oxidase (NO) activation by the phorbol ester PMA and by the chemotactic peptide FMLP were studied. H-7 reduced the effects of both stimuli in human neutrophils (HN) and HL-60 cells by 13-63%. Polymyxin B did not inhibit NO activation by PMA and FMLP in HN and reduced the effects of both stimuli in HL-60 cells by 27-55%. Retinal and retinoic acid enhanced the effects of PMA and FMLP in HL-60 cells and of FMLP in HN up to 4.5-fold. In contrast, retinoic acid inhibited the effect of PMA in HN. In the presence of cytochalasin B, retinal inhibited the effect of FMLP in HN, whereas retinoic acid inhibited NO activation by FMLP in both cell types. The dual PKC/calmodulin inhibitors trifluoperazine and W-7 abolished NO activation by PMA and FMLP in HN and HL-60 cells. Thus, the effects of PKC inhibitors on NO activation exhibit (1) cell type specificity, (2) stimulus dependency and (3) no correlation with in vitro inhibition of PKC. Our results suggest that studies with PKC inhibitors presently available cannot clarify the role of PKC in NO activation.

Activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II following bovine rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4 expression
Objective(s): The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is responsible for the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration through a phospholipase C-dependent and phospholipase C-independent pathways in infected cells. It is shown that increasing of intracellular calcium concentration in rotavirus infected cells is associated with the activation of some members of protein kinases family su...

متن کاملThe Implication of Androgens in the Presence of Protein Kinase C to Repair Alzheimer’s Disease-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction
Aging, as a major risk factor of memory deficiency, affects neural signaling pathways in hippocampus. In particular, age-dependent androgens deficiency causes cognitive impairments. Several enzymes like protein kinase C (PKC) are involved in memory deficiency. Indeed, PKC regulatory process mediates α-secretase activation to cleave APP in β-amyloid cascade and tau proteins phosphorylation mecha...

SRC kinases and PKR are intracellular protein kinases, which play key roles in intracellular viral replication. In this research, the effect of SRC kinase inhibition and PKR activation and inhibition on replication of coxsakievirus (CVB3), an entrovirus of the family picornaviridae – causative agents of fatal myocarditis, was studied. Vero and Hela cells were cultured and infected with CVB3 in ...
