OBJECTIVE We investigated the regulation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB and its biological effects in cultured normal and diabetic rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). RESULTS VSMC growth from diabetic rats was faster than that from normal rats. The expression of the PDGF beta-receptor in diabetic VSMCs was significantly elevated compared with that in normal cells, and PDGF-BB-induced p38 phosphorylation in diabetic cells was more enhanced via MAPK kinase (MKK) 3/6. The level of PKC activity in diabetic cells increased more than that in normal cells with or without PDGF-BB. Although protein kinase C (PKC)-betaII and PKC-delta were activated by diabetes, PDGF-BB could further enhance the level of PKC-delta alone. PDGF-BB-induced cell migration was more elevated in diabetic VSMCs, and the increase was significantly inhibited by SB-203580, rottlerin, and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides for PKC-delta. PDGF-BB-induced p38 phosphorylation also regulated cell growth, cyclooxygenase-2 levels, and arachidonic acid release, but not apoptosis. These levels were more elevated in diabetic cells, which were inhibited by SB-203580. CONCLUSIONS Our study established that PDGF-BB phosphorylated p38 via PKC-delta and the subsequent MKK 3/6, leading to cell growth regulation and the progression of a chronic inflammatory process in diabetic VSMCs.

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
