title: Protein kinase C inhibitors block insulin and PMA-stimulated hexose transport in isolated rat adipocytes and BC3H-1 myocytes.
abstract: Effects of protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors and "down-regulation" on insulin and PMA-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose transport were determined in isolated rat adipocytes or BC3H-1 myocytes. In both model systems, H-7, sangivamycin, and staurosporine, inhibitors of the catalytic domain of PKC, each effectively blocked insulin and PMA-stimulated hexose uptake at similar concentrations. In the myocytes, staurosporine completely blocked the insulin effect retained post-chronic phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced "down-regulation." These findings indicate (1) that chronic pretreatment with PMA may not lead to a complete loss of PKC activity in the myocyte, and (2) that PKC is involved in insulin-stimulated hexose transport in both isolated rat adipocytes and BC3H-1 myocytes.
