title: Inhibition of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated bovine mononuclear cell proliferation, interleukin-2 production and protein kinase C activity by a protein kinase C inhibitor, H-7.
abstract: 1-(5-Isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (H-7), a potent and selective inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), inhibited PHA-stimulated bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation, interleukin-2 (IL-2) production, and cytosolic PKC activity without affecting the cell viabilities. Presence of exogenous cytokines, such as purified human IL-2 or recombinant bovine IL-2 (rbovIL-2), reversed the H-7 inhibitory effects on PHA-stimulated PBMC proliferation. We conclude that the PKC enzyme plays an important role as a second messenger in bovine PBMC proliferation in the early stages of cell activation.
