We have studied the role of tyrosine kinase in PMA-stimulated T cells. Protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated D10A cell proliferation is inhibited by the specific inhibitor of tyrosine kinase, tyrphostin. This inhibitor selectively blocks the mRNA expression of the proto-oncogene c-myc in response to the phorbol ester, PMA. On the other hand, the same doses of this inhibitor do not affect the mRNA expression of the proto-oncogene c-fos in PMA-stimulated D10A cells. Phorbol esters induce in this T cell line the tyrosine phosphorylation of a unique protein of 42 kDa and the enzyme PKC is required for this activity.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

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.
