title: Protein kinase C activator phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate inhibits platelet activating factor-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization and phosphoinositide turnover in neurohybrid NG108-15 cells.
abstract: The protein kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu) dose-dependently inhibited platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced [Ca2+]i elevation and inositol monophosphate (IP1) accumulation in neurohybrid NG108-15 cells with IC50 values of 162 nM and 35 nM, respectively. Pretreatment of NG108-15 cells with PKC inhibitor H-7 partially prevented the inhibitory effect of PDBu on PAF-induced [Ca2+]i elevation as well as PI metabolism in NG108-15 cells. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (PTX) resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of PAF-induced IP1 and IP3 accumulation but only slightly affected PAF-induced [Ca2+]i elevation in NG108-15 cells. The results reveal that PAF receptor-mediated Ca2+ mobilization and PI metabolism in NG108-15 cells are regulated by PKC while a PTX-sensitive G protein is coupled to PAF receptor for inducing activation of phospholipase C.
