title: Regulation of secretion in cultured tracheal serous cells by protein kinases A and C.
abstract: We recently reported that cultured gland serous cells release chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) in response to beta-adrenergic agonists. In this study, we analyzed this regulatory pathway and other cellular mechanisms responsible for CSPG secretion. We show the following. 1) Isoproterenol increased CSPG secretion in a concentration-dependent manner, with maximal stimulation (50%) obtained at 10(-5) M; at this concentration, the beta-agonist also stimulated protein kinase A (PKA) by 50%, whereas it increased cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) content by 300%. 2) Phenylephrine (10(-5) M), 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (1.6 x 10(-7) M), and A23187 (10(-6) M) also stimulated CSPG secretion; this stimulation was concomitant with protein kinase C (PKC) translocation from cytosol to membrane, was blocked by sphingosine (2 x 10(-5) M), and was additive with that elicited by isoproterenol. 3) All PKC activators potentiated the isoproterenol-induced increased in cAMP accumulation without modifying the activation of PKA elicited by the beta-agonist. Our results indicate that although the signaling pathways triggered by alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists converge at the level of adenylate cyclase in tracheal serous cells, PKA and PKC independently regulate CSPG secretion.
