RECEPTORS AND SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION

Involvement of PKC and PKD in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell hyperpermeability

The involvement of PKC, the isoforms of which are categorized into three subtypes: conventional (, I, II, and ), novel [, , , and µ (also known as PKD),], and atypical ( and /), in the regulation of endothelial monolayer integrity is well documented. However, isoform activity varies among different cell types. Our goal was to reveal isoform-specific PKC activity in the microvascular endothelium in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and diacylglycerol (DAG). Isoform activity was demonstrated by cytosol-to-membrane translocation after PMA treatment and phosphorylation of the myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein after PMA and DAG treatment. Specific isoforms were inhibited by using both antisense oligonucleotides and pharmacological agents. The data showed partial cytosol-to-membrane translocation of isoforms , I, and and complete translocation of PKC and PKD in response to PMA. Furthermore, antisense treatment and pharmacological studies indicated that the novel isoform PKC and PKD are both required for PMA- and DAG-induced MARCKS phosphorylation and hyperpermeability in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, whereas isoforms , I, and were dispensable with regard to these same phenomena.
