Activation by phorbol esters of protein kinase C in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. 1986

M Issandou, and F Bayard, and J M Darbon

Exposure of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells to the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) leads to the inhibition of cell proliferation. We investigate here the short-term effects of TPA on subcellular distribution of protein kinase C, and on protein phosphorylation in cultured MCF-7 cells. We report a rapid and dramatic decrease in cytosolic protein kinase C activity after TPA treatment. Only 30% of the enzymatic activity lost in the cytosol was recovered in the particulate fraction. These data suggest that subcellular translocation of protein kinase C is accompanied by a rapid down-regulation of the enzyme (70%). Furthermore, TPA and other protein kinase C activators rapidly induce the phosphorylation of a 28 kDa protein in intact MCF-7 cells. Phorbol esters devoid of tumor-promoting activity are ineffective both for inducing these early biochemical events and for inhibiting cell proliferation.

D010704 Phorbols The parent alcohol of the tumor promoting compounds from CROTON OIL (Croton tiglium). Tigliane,Tiglianes
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
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.
