OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the role of protein kinase C zeta (PKCzeta) in interleukin (IL)-8-mediated activation of Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) in human neutrophils. METHODS Neutrophils were stimulated with IL-8 in the presence or absence of pharmacologic inhibitors of PKC or a myristoylated PKCzeta pseudosubstrate. The resulting changes in Mac-1 surface expression, affinity, and avidity, as measured by clustering, were determined by using a combination of flow cytometry and immunofluorescence (IF). Colocalization of Mac-1 with PKCzeta was also probed using IE Finally, neutrophil adhesion to matrix proteins was examined under static conditions and adhesion to tumor necrosis factor-alpha-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells was examined under flow conditions, using a parallel-plate flow chamber RESULTS PKCzeta and Mac-1 colocalized following stimulation with IL-8. Blocking PKCzeta prevented IL-8-induced Mac-1 clustering while simultaneously increasing Mac-1 affinity. To determine the relative contribution of affinity versus avidity in neutrophil adhesion, we examined adhesion under both static and flow conditions, and found that blocking PKCzeta prevented neutrophil adhesion, despite increased affinity of Mac-1. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that PKCzeta is a negative regulator of Mac-1 affinity and a positive regulator of Mac-1 avidity. Further, Mac-1 avidity is more important than increased affinity alone in regulating neutrophil firm adhesion.

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.
