The inhibition of neutrophil responsiveness caused by phorbol esters is blocked by the protein kinase C inhibitor H7. 1986

R I Sha'afi, and T F Molski, and C K Huang, and P H Naccache

The relationship between the inhibition of neutrophil responsiveness to chemoattractants caused by preincubation with phorbol esters and the activation of protein kinase C was investigated using the protein kinase antagonist H7. The latter compound was found to inhibit the phosphorylation of the 50 kDa protein kinase C substrate stimulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). On the other hand, H7 was found not to affect the quin2 and secretory responses of the neutrophils to fMet-Leu-Phe and leukotriene B4. In addition, pretreatment of the cells with H7 blocked the ability of PMA to inhibit the latter two responses to the addition of the chemoattractants. Taken together, these results provide strong evidence for the involvement of protein kinase C in the inhibition of neutrophil--and probably also other cells--responsiveness brought about by preincubation with phorbol esters. Additionally, they invite a reevaluation of the role of protein kinase C in the excitation-response coupling sequence of these cells directed more towards a negative, modulatory, role than that of a critical element in its initiation.

D010529 Peritoneal Cavity The space enclosed by the peritoneum. It is divided into two portions, the greater sac and the lesser sac or omental bursa, which lies behind the STOMACH. The two sacs are connected by the foramen of Winslow, or epiploic foramen. Greater Sac,Lesser Sac,Omental Bursa,Bursa, Omental,Cavity, Peritoneal,Sac, Greater,Sac, Lesser

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.
