title: Regulation of Mg2+ uptake in isolated rat myocytes and hepatocytes by protein kinase C.
abstract: A large Mg2+ cell uptake against concentration gradients is stimulated in collagenase-dispersed rat myocytes by carbachol and in hepatocytes by carbachol or vasopressin. The signalling pathway(s) responsible for this stimulation of Mg2+ uptake was investigated by using various activators or inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC) and by correlating Mg2+ uptake with cell PKC activity and cAMP content. In both cell preparations, the direct stimulation of PKC by diacylglycerol analogs or phorbol esters reproduce the same pattern of Mg2+ uptake as that induced by carbachol or vasopressin. These data indicate that the activation of PKC is responsible for a stimulation of Mg2+ uptake by myocytes or hepatocytes, whereas increase in cAMP in these cells stimulates Mg2+ release.
