The MDR3 protein is a transporter of phosphatidylcholine on the canalicular membrane of human hepatocytes. Previously we showed that the expression of MDR3 mRNA was down-regulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in human Chang liver cells. In the present study, to elucidate the isoform of protein kinase C (PKC), which influences the level of MDR3 protein, we investigated the effects of PKC-specific inhibitors and antisense oligonucleotides. The level of protein decreased around 50% after treatment for 3-5 days using the dosage of PMA effective against the mRNA expression. The half-life of the MDR3 protein was estimated to be about 5 days. This decrease was antagonized by GF109203X, a non-selective inhibitor of PKCs, and Gö6976, a selective inhibitor for PKCalpha/beta. These inhibitors also suppressed the reduction in MDR3 protein. To specify the isoform of PKC, the cells were treated with antisense oligonucleotide of PKCalpha or PKCbeta. The suppressive effects on MDR3 mRNA of PMA were attenuated in antisense PKCbeta-treated cells, but those in antisense PKCalpha-treated cells were not attenuated. These suggested that PKCbeta plays a regulatory role in the expression of MDR3.

D008301 Maleimides Derivatives of maleimide (the structural formula H2C2(CO)2NH) containing a pyrroledione ring where the hydrogen atom of the NH group is replaced with aliphatic or aromatic groups.
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.
