Abstract
The contribution of distinct Ca(2+)-sensitive protein kinases to the regulation of the expression of the synaptosomal-associated protein SNAP-25 was examined in bovine chromaffin cells. Prolonged incubation with high K(+) (38 mM) or 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenyl-piperazinium (DMPP), a nicotinic receptor agonist, significantly increased SNAP-25 protein and mRNA expression, as assessed by immunoblotting and semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis. Both stimuli preferentially enhanced mRNA coding for the SNAP-25a isoform. Increase of SNAP-25 expression induced by K(+) or DMPP was inhibited over 70% by KN-62 and KN-93, two Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) inhibitors, whereas the inactive analogue KN-92 only reduced the expression by 34%. The three compounds also inhibited the high K(+)-elicited [Ca(2+)](i) signal by 40%, suggesting that the effect of KN-62 and KN-93 was a combination of CaMK/ Ca(2+) influx inhibitory actions. Incubation of the cells with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors PD98059 and U0126 reduced protein expression elicited by high K(+) by 50%, but did not modify the response to DMPP. Interestingly, although protein kinase A (PKA) inhibition by H-89 did not affect the high K(+) or DMPP-induced SNAP-25 expression, basal protein levels were significantly modified upon activation or inhibition of this pathway. Basal expression of SNAP-25 was also modified by the protein kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, but not by Gö6976, a PKC-alpha inhibitor, suggesting that the Ca(2+)-insensitive PKC-epsilon isoform control basal expression of SNAP-25 in these cells. Taken together, these results provide the first evidence that diverse protein kinases might converge in the induction of SNAP-25 expression in chromaffin cells. The preferential contribution of one or another kinase would depend on the physiological or experimental conditions.

Abstract
Depolarizing stimuli increase catecholamine (CA) biosynthesis, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity, and TH phosphorylation at Ser19, Ser31, and Ser40 in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. However, the identities of the protein kinases that phosphorylate TH under depolarizing conditions are not known. Furthermore, although increases in Ser31 or Ser40 phosphorylation increase TH activity in vitro, the relative influence of phosphorylation at these sites on CA biosynthesis under depolarizing conditions is not known. We investigated the participation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in elevated K(+)-stimulated TH phosphorylation in PC12 cells using an ERK pathway inhibitor, PD98059, and PKA-deficient PC12 cells (A126-B1). In the same paradigm, we measured CA biosynthesis. TH phosphorylation stoichiometry (PS) was determined by quantitative blot-immunolabeling using site- and phosphorylation state-specific antibodies. Treatment with elevated K(+) (+ 58 mM) for 5 min increased TH PS at each site in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Pretreatment with PD98059 prevented elevated K(+)-stimulated increases in ERK phosphorylation and Ser31 PS. In A126-B1 cells, Ser40 PS was not significantly increased by forskolin, and elevated K(+)-stimulated Ser40 PS was three- to five-fold less than that in PC12 cells. In both cell lines, CA biosynthesis was increased 1.5-fold after treatment with elevated K(+) and was prevented by pretreatment with PD98059. These results suggest that ERK phosphorylates TH at Ser31 and that PKA phosphorylates TH at Ser40 under depolarizing conditions. They also suggest that the increases in CA biosynthesis under depolarizing conditions are associated with the ERK-mediated increases in Ser31 PS.

Abstract
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TOH) activity is regulated acutely by phosphorylation of serines 8, 19, 31 and 40. The only kinases known to phosphorylate Ser31 are the mitogen-activated protein kinases MAPK-1 and 2. The involvement of these kinases in TOH activation in situ was therefore investigated using intact bovine chromaffin cells. Nicotine, K+ and A23187 increased TOH activity over 10 min in a Ca2+-dependent manner. The response to all three was reduced by PD098059, a selective inhibitor of the upstream activator of MAPK, MEK1. In contrast, TOH activation by forskolin and phorbol dibutyrate were unaffected by PD098059. The results support a key role for MEK1/MAPK in the acute activation of TOH by nicotinic receptors and by other agonists that increase cytosolic Ca2+.

Abstract
The nature of the signaling process activated by neuronal nicotinic receptors has not been fully defined; however, several recent studies have implicated the involvement of Ca(2+) fluxes in the response to nicotine. In order to assess Ca(2+)-dependent mechanisms in nicotine-induced antinociception, the Ca(2+) channel antagonist nimodipine and several calcium/calmodulin-protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) inhibitors were evaluated for their effects on nicotine-induced antinociception. The results indicate that both of these antagonists dose-dependently blocked nicotine-induced antinociception after intrathecal (i.t.) injection. Indeed, three structurally unrelated CaM kinase II inhibitors blocked nicotine's effects in the tail-flick test in a dose-related manner. A second series of experiments assessed the effect of acute nicotine exposure on [Ca(2+)](i) and CaM kinase II activity in spinal cord tissues. Nicotine increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner after application of the drug to spinal synaptosomes. Furthermore, a dose-dependent increase in the spinal cord membrane CaM kinase II activity was seen after acute injection of nicotine in mice. Taken together, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that nicotine binding to nicotinic receptors leads to channel opening and depolarization responses with an influx of Ca(2+) ions, which would reach sufficient levels to activate Ca(2+)-dependent/CaM kinase II. Neuronal Ca(2+), acting via Ca(2+)-dependent CaM kinase II, appears to mediate nicotine-induced antinociception at the spinal level.

Abstract
The effects of pituitary and extrapituitary prolactin include cellular proliferation and differentiation. PC12 cells was used as a model to delineate respective signaling of prolactin. Prolactin acted as a mitogen for undifferentiated PC12 cells, as measured by significant increases in bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and in cell numbers, with an efficacy equal to epidermal growth factor. Both the long and short form of the prolactin receptor was expressed, yet only the long isoform was tyrosine-phosphorylated upon agonist binding. Functional prolactin receptor signaling was further demonstrated in the activation of JAK2 and phosphorylation activation of the transcription factors Stat1, -3, and -5a. Surprisingly, prolactin stimulated a sustained activation of Raf-B, without activation of the MAP kinases ERK1 or -2. Instead, in solid phase kinase assays using a glutathione S-transferase-c-Jun fusion protein (amino acids 1-79) as the substrate, a significant activation of the mitogen-activated protein Janus kinase (c-Jun N-terminal kinase; JNK) was observed. The prolactin-induced activation of JNK was prolonged and accompanied by a significant increase in c-Jun mRNA abundance and c-Jun protein synthesis. Moreover, analysis of bromodeoxyuridine incorporation at the single cell level revealed that epidermal growth factor-dependent incorporation was inhibited by PD98059 and independent of SB203580, whereas prolactin-induced incorporation was ERK and mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 independent but was abolished with JNK inhibition by 30 microm SB203580. Our studies suggest that prolactin may have a role in the growth of PC12 cells, where it stimulates concurrent mitogenic and differentiation-promoting signaling pathways.

Abstract
Oxidative stress can trigger neuronal cell death and has been implicated in several chronic neurological diseases and in acute neurological injury. Oxidative toxicity can be induced by glutamate treatment in cells that lack ionotrophic glutamate receptors, such as the immortalized HT22 hippocampal cell line and immature primary cortical neurons. Previously, we found that neuroprotective effects of geldanamycin, a benzoquinone ansamycin, in HT22 cells were associated with a down-regulation of c-Raf-1, an upstream activator of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERKs). ERK activation, although often attributed strictly to neuronal cell survival and proliferation, can also be associated with neuronal cell death that occurs in response to specific insults. In this report we show that delayed and persistent activation of ERKs is associated with glutamate-induced oxidative toxicity in HT22 cells and immature primary cortical neuron cultures. Furthermore, we find that U0126, a specific inhibitor of the ERK-activating kinase, MEK-1/2, protects both HT22 cells and immature primary cortical neuron cultures from glutamate toxicity. Glutamate-induced ERK activation requires the production of specific arachidonic acid metabolites and appears to be downstream of a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation characteristic of oxidative stress in HT22 cells. However, inhibition of ERK activation reduces glutamate-induced intracellular Ca(2+) accumulation. We hypothesize that the precise kinetics and duration of ERK activation may determine whether downstream targets are mobilized to enhance neuronal cell survival or ensure cellular demise.

Abstract
Expression of the insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5) gene in vascular smooth muscle cells is up-regulated by IGF-I through an IGF-I receptor-mediated mechanism. In this study, we studied the possible involvement of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and PI 3-kinase signaling pathways in mediating IGF-I-regulated IGFBP-5 gene expression. The addition of Des(1-3)IGF-I, an IGF analog with reduced affinity to IGFBPs, resulted in a transient activation of p44 and p42 MAPK. Inhibition of the MAPK activation by PD98059, however, did not affect IGF-I-stimulated IGFBP-5 expression. Des(1-3)IGF-I treatment also strongly activated PI 3-kinase. This activation was probably mediated through IRS-1, because IGF-I stimulation resulted in a significant increase in IRS-1- but not IRS-2-associated PI 3-kinase activity. This activation occurred within 5 min and was sustained at high levels for over 6 h. Likewise, Des(1-3)IGF-I caused a long lasting activation of PKB/Akt and p70(s6k). When LY294002 and wortmannin, two specific inhibitors of PI 3-kinase, were added with Des(1-3)IGF-I, the IGF-I-regulated IGFBP-5 expression was negated. The addition of rapamycin, which inhibits IGF-I-induced p70(s6k) activation, significantly inhibited IGF-I-regulated IGFBP-5 gene expression. These results suggest that the action of IGF-I on IGFBP-5 gene expression requires the activation of the PI 3-kinase-PKB/Akt-p70(s6k) pathway but not the MAPK pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a potent mitogen for osteoblasts. The primary signaling mechanism involved in mediating this proliferative effect of IGF-1 is not well defined. The roles of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) kinases in the IGF-1-induced proliferative signaling pathway of human osteosarcoma MG63 cells were investigated using a selective inhibitor of MEK, PD98059, and a Cdk inhibitor, olomoucine. Treatment of MG63 cells with PD98059 and olomoucine inhibited IGF-1-stimulated proliferation of these cells and induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1. PD98059 significantly abolished IGF-1-stimulated kinase activity of ERK1 in a dose-dependent manner. PD98059 also inhibited the kinase activity of Cdk2 in IGF-1 stimulated cells, although the inhibition by olomoucine was much greater. The extent of inhibition of Cdk2 activity by PD98059 and olomoucine was consistent with their effects on cell proliferation and cell cycle. Cyclin A was complexed with Cdk2 in unstimulated MG63 cells, but Cdk2 kinase activity in the complex was up-regulated only in IGF-1-treated cells. This was consistent with an observed IGF-1-stimulated hyperphosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (pRb) with the possibility that the activated Cdk2 kinase is involved in phosphorylation of pRb in IGF-1-induced cell proliferation. Taken together, these results suggest that the MEK/ERK pathway act in a positive regulatory fashion to activate Cdk2 in IGF-1-induced mitogenesis in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Acute activation of tyrosine hydroxylase by histamine has been studied in cultured bovine chromaffin cells. Tyrosine hydroxylase activity was determined in situ by measuring 14CO2 release following the hydroxylation and rapid decarboxylation of 14C-tyrosine offered to the cells. Histamine increased tyrosine hydroxylase activity 2-fold over 10 min with an EC50 of 0.3 microM and maximal response at 10 microM. Tyrosine hydroxylase activation was detectable within 1-2 min and maintained for at least 10 min. The effect of histamine was fully blocked by the H1 antagonist mepyramine, but unaffected by H2 (cimetidine) and H3 (thioperamide) antagonists. It was mimicked by Nalpha-methylhistamine and the H1 agonist 2-thiazolylethylamine, but not by H2 (dimaprit) or H3 (R)alpha-methylhistamine) agonists. The response to histamine was reduced by 70% by removing extracellular Ca2+ and abolished by removing extracellular Ca2+ and chelating intracellular Ca2+ with BAPTA. Tyrosine hydroxylase activation by histamine was unaffected by the protein kinase C inhibitor Ro 31-8220 but was completely blocked by the protein kinase A inhibitor H89. The results indicate that histamine activates tyrosine hydroxylase and that this effect is mediated through H1 receptors by a mechanism that depends on both extracellular and intracellular Ca2+ and that requires protein kinase A.

Abstract
OBJECT Tamoxifen (TAM) has been found to be effective in inhibiting proliferation of glioblastoma cells in vitro, but clinical studies have been disappointing. The purpose of this study was to determine whether insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), a potential autocrine/paracrine mitogen produced by glioblastomas, interferes with the antimitogenic actions of TAM. METHODS Human glioblastoma cells were treated with or without TAM and/or IGF-I in vitro and evaluated for: viability by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenol tetrazolium bromide cleavage assay; apoptosis by histochemical analysis of nuclear morphology and 3'-OH DNA fragments; and expression of the IGF-I receptor, and the bcl-2, bcl-xL, and bax proteins by immunoblot analysis. In addition, p53 status was determined by DNA sequencing and by transient transfection with luciferase reporter plasmids containing wild-type or mutant p53. Results indicated that after 72 hours of exposure to 2 mg/ml TAM in vitro, 56.3% of WITG3 and 43.8% of U87-MG glioblastoma cells contained apoptotic nuclei (p < 0.01 compared with untreated cells). Apoptosis was independent of the presence of p53 because the WITG3 cells, in contrast to the U87-MG cells, expressed a mutant, nonfunctional p53. The WITG3 cells expressed IGF-I receptor proteins and demonstrated IGF-I binding. Exogenous IGF-I stimulated WITG3 cell proliferation and significantly (p < 0.05) antagonized the cytotoxic effects of TAM in a dose-dependent fashion; IGF-I, but not TAM, enhanced expression of bcl-2 and bcl-xL proteins; however, bax protein expression was unchanged by either treatment. CONCLUSIONS Because many gliomas secrete large amounts of IGF-I in autocrine/paracrine growth pathways, these data may, in part, explain the failure of TAM to achieve clinical results as dramatic as those in vitro.

Abstract
The ability of neurotrophins to modulate the survival and differentiation of neuronal populations involves the Trk/MAP (mitogen-activated protein kinase) kinase signaling pathway. More recently, neurotrophins have also been shown to regulate synaptic transmission. The synapsins are a family of neuron-specific phosphoproteins that play a role in regulation of neurotransmitter release, in axonal elongation, and in formation and maintenance of synaptic contacts. We report here that synapsin I is a downstream effector for the neurotrophin/Trk/MAP kinase cascade. Using purified components, we show that MAP kinase stoichiometrically phosphorylated synapsin I at three sites (Ser-62, Ser-67, and Ser-549). Phosphorylation of these sites was detected in rat brain homogenates, in cultured cerebrocortical neurons, and in isolated presynaptic terminals. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth factor upregulated phosphorylation of synapsin I at MAP kinase-dependent sites in intact cerebrocortical neurons and PC12 cells, respectively, while KCl- induced depolarization of cultured neurons decreased the phosphorylation state at these sites. MAP kinase-dependent phosphorylation of synapsin I significantly reduced its ability to promote G-actin polymerization and to bundle actin filaments. The results suggest that MAP kinase-dependent phosphorylation of synapsin I may contribute to the modulation of synaptic plasticity by neurotrophins and by other signaling pathways that converge at the level of MAP kinase activation.

Abstract
Figure 2 summarizes our current interpretation of data concerning signals from the activated PDGF receptor involved in directed migration and proliferation of human arterial SMC. Binding of PDGF (PDGF-BB or PDGF-AA) causes PDGF-receptor dimerization, tyrosine autophosphorylation, and subsequent binding of several molecules containing SH2 domains to the activated receptor. Binding and activation of PLC gamma by the PDGF receptor leads to PIP2 hydrolysis, resulting in generation of diacylglycerol (DAG) and IP3. Subsequently, intracellular levels of calcium are elevated as a result of IP3-mediated calcium release from intracellular compartments. The decreased levels of PIP2 and increased levels of calcium both favor actin-filament disassembly by inducing capping of actin-filament barbed ends and actin-monomer sequestration. A localized, and transient, actin-filament disassembly enables the cell to extend filopodia towards PDGF, thereby enabling chemotaxis to take place. At a later time and/or in a different compartment, actin-filament assembly is promoted by PDGF by a mechanism that is not completely understood, but that may involve small GTP-binding proteins, such as Rho, and formation of DAG. Migration on collagen requires functional alpha 2 beta 1 integrins, which may either constitute a permissive state required for a cell to migrate, or which may be actively involved in intracellular signals leading to migration. PDGF-induced DNA synthesis and proliferation involves activation of Ras, MAP kinase kinase, and MAP kinase. Cross-talk between PKA signaling and tyrosine-kinase receptor signaling results in PKA inhibition of the MAP kinase cascade, probably at the level of Raf. Activation of PI 3-kinase, or a PI 3-kinase-like enzyme, is also likely to contribute to the mitogenic effects of PDGF in these cells (Bornfeldt, unpublished observation). What determines if a SMC will migrate and/or proliferate in response to PDGF? Results are starting to emerge that show regulation of expression of molecules involved in intracellular signaling with different phenotypic states of SMC. For example, expression of PLC gamma is very low in intact vascular wall (where SMC show a "contractile phenotype"), and induced when SMC are converted to a "synthetic phenotype" in culture. Proliferation and expression of MAP kinase, but not calcium signaling, appear to be regulated by the extracellular matrix, and the profile of integrin expression is different in SMC in culture compared to SMC in the vascular wall. Thus, the relation between expression of signaling molecules involved in migration and signaling molecules involved in proliferation, as well as cross-talk between different signal-transduction pathways, may determine the net effect of PDGF.

Abstract
The specialized plasma membrane structures termed caveolae and the caveolar-coat protein caveolin are highly expressed in insulin-sensitive cells such as adipocytes and muscle. Stimulation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with insulin significantly increased the tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin and a 29-kD caveolin-associated protein in caveolin-enriched Triton-insoluble complexes. Maximal phosphorylation occurred within 5 min, and the levels of phosphorylation remained elevated for at least 30 min. The insulin-dose responses for the tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin and the 29-kD caveolin-associated protein paralleled those for the phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. The stimulation of caveolin tyrosine phosphorylation was specific for insulin and was not observed with PDGF or EGF, although PDGF stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of the 29-kD caveolin-associated protein. Increased tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin, its associated 29-kD protein, and a 60-kD protein was observed in an in vitro kinase assay after incubation of the caveolin-enriched Triton-insoluble complexes with Mg-ATP, suggesting the presence of an intrinsic tyrosine kinase in these complexes. These fractions contain only trace amounts of the activated insulin receptor. In addition, these complexes contain a 60-kD kinase detected in an in situ gel kinase assay and an approximately 60 kD protein that cross-reacts with an antibody against the Src-family kinase p59Fyn. Thus, the insulin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin represents a novel, insulin-specific signal transduction pathway that may involve activation of a tyrosine kinase downstream of the insulin receptor.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that bovine chromaffin cells cultured in medium with 10 nM insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) secrete about twofold more catecholamine when exposed to secretory stimuli than do cells cultured without IGF-I. The purpose of this study was to determine whether protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in the effect of IGF-I on secretion from these cells. PKC was down-regulated in the cells by 16-18 h of treatment with beta-phorbol didecanoate (beta-PDD; 100 nM). Such treatment had no effect on high-K(+)-stimulated secretion from cells cultured without IGF-I; however, secretion from cells cultured with IGF-I was reduced to a level comparable to that in cells cultured without the peptide. The inactive isomer, alpha-PDD (100 nM), had no effect on secretion from untreated or IGF-I-treated chromaffin cells. The effect of beta-PDD was time and concentration dependent, with 100 nM beta-PDD producing a maximal effect in 8-10 h. In situ PKC activity measured in permeabilized cells treated with PMA (300 nM) was decreased by approximately 40% by 10 h and was reduced to almost basal levels by 18 h. Immunoblotting experiments demonstrated that both alpha- and epsilon-PKC were lost from the cells with time courses similar to that seen in the in situ PKC assay. Overnight treatment with the PKC inhibitor H7 (100 microM) prevented the enhanced secretion normally seen in IGF-I-treated cells, whereas HA1004 had no effect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Secretion of catecholamines by adrenal chromaffin cells is a highly regulated process that involves serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylations. The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase pp60c-src is expressed at high levels and localized to plasma membranes and secretory vesicle membranes in these cells, suggesting an interaction of this enzyme with components of the secretory process. To test the hypothesis that pp60c-src is involved in exocytosis, we transiently expressed exogenous c-src cDNA using a vaccinia virus vector in primary cultures of bovine adrenomedullary chromaffin cells. Chromaffin cells infected with a c-src recombinant virus restored the diminished secretory activity accompanying infection by wild type virus alone or a control recombinant virus. The level of enhanced catecholamine release correlated directly with the time and level of exogenous c-src expression. These results could not be attributed to differences in cytopathic effects of wild type versus recombinant viruses as assessed by cell viability assays, nor to differences in norepinephrine uptake or basal release, suggesting that pp60c-src is involved in stimulus-secretion coupling in infected cells. Surprisingly, exogenous expression of an enzymatically inactive mutant c-src also restored catecholamine release, indicating that regions of the introduced c-src protein other than the kinase domain may affect catecholamine release. Secretory activity was elevated by both forms of c-src in response to either nicotine or carbachol (which activate the nicotinic and the nicotinic/muscarinic receptors, respectively). In contrast, release of catecholamines upon membrane depolarization (as elicited by 55 mM K+) or by treatment with the calcium ionophore A23187 was unaffected by either vaccinia infection or increased levels of pp60c-src. These results suggest that pp60c-src affects secretory processes in vaccinia-infected cells that are activated through ligand-gated, but not voltage-gated, ion channels.

Abstract
Directed migration or chemotaxis of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) contributes to intimal SMC accumulation, a key event in the development of atherosclerotic lesions and in restenosis after angioplasty. The present study compares and contrasts insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) as chemoattractants and mitogens for human arterial SMC. Compared with PDGF-BB, IGF-I is a weaker SMC mitogen. Thus, PDGF-BB, but not IGF-I, evokes a strong and rapid activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase and MAP kinase. However, IGF-I is a potent stimulator of directed migration of human arterial SMC, as measured in a Boyden chamber assay. The half-maximal concentration for migration is similar to the Kd for IGF-I receptor interaction. An IGF-I receptor-blocking antibody blocks the effects of IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin, indicating that the effects are indeed mediated through the IGF-I receptor. The maximal effect of IGF-I on directed migration ranges between 50% and 100% of the effect of PDGF-BB, the strongest known chemoattractant for SMC. The ability of IGF-I and PDGF-BB to induce chemotaxis coincides with their ability to stimulate phosphatidylinositol turnover, diacylglycerol formation, and intracellular Ca2+ flux and suggests that these signaling pathways, but not activation of the MAP kinase cascade, are required for chemotaxis of human arterial SMC.

Abstract
Bovine chromaffin cells contain a family of renaturable protein kinases. One of these, a 60,000 M(r) kinase (PK60) that phosphorylated myelin basic protein in vitro, was activated fourfold when cells were treated with the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine. Because staurosporine inhibits protein kinase C, the role of this kinase in the regulation of PK60 activity was investigated. Fifty nanomolar staurosporine produced half-maximal inhibition of protein kinase C activity in chromaffin cells, whereas approximately 225 nM staurosporine was required to induce half-maximal activation of PK60. Other protein kinase C inhibitors, H-7 and K-252a, did not mimic the effect of staurosporine on PK60 activity. Chromaffin cells have three protein kinase C isoforms: alpha, epsilon, and zeta. Prolonged treatment with phorbol esters depleted the cells of protein kinase C alpha and epsilon, but not zeta. Neither activation nor depletion of protein kinase C affected the basal activity of PK60. Moreover, staurosporine activated PK60 in cells depleted of protein kinase C alpha and epsilon; thus, staurosporine appeared to activate PK60 by a mechanism that does not require these protein kinase C isoforms. Incubation of cell extracts with staurosporine in vitro did not activate PK60. Incubation of these extracts with adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), however, caused a twofold activation of PK60. Although this suggests that PK60 activity is regulated by phosphorylation, the mechanism by which staurosporine activates PK60 is not known. Staurosporine has been reported to promote neurite outgrowth from chromaffin cells. The role of PK60 in mediating the effects of staurosporine on chromaffin cell function remains to be determined.
