We searched for a possible role for protein kinase C in the growth of human erythroid progenitor cells, using pharmacologic approaches. Two protein kinase C inhibitors, 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) and staurosporine, dose-dependently inhibited the growth of immature erythroid progenitor cells (BFU-E) induced by interleukin 3 (IL-3) plus erythropoietin (Ep) or granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plus Ep whereas a weaker analog of H-7, N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinoline sulfonamide (HA-1004), had no effect on the number of BFU-E. These three compounds had no effect on the growth of mature erythroid progenitor cells (CFU-E) stimulated by Ep. The culture of accessory cell-depleted bone marrow demonstrated that the effects of these compounds on colony formation do not appear to be mediated by accessory cells. The potential of these compounds to inhibit the GM-CSF-dependent growth of KG-1 cells correlated well with the extent of their inhibitor of protein kinase C activities from KG-1 cells. Thus, the protein kinase C system is apparently involved in the growth of BFU-E, supported by IL-3 or GM-CSF. The growth signal for CFU-E transduced by Ep may be achieved through other systems.
