title: Carbon tetrachloride-induced inhibition of protein kinase C in isolated rat hepatocytes.
abstract: Isolated rat hepatocytes exposed to CCl4 showed a dramatic decrease in [32P] incorporation into proteins which was evident as early as 5 min after the haloalkane addition. DEAE cellulose separation of protein kinases present in both particulated and cytosolic fractions of hepatocytes revealed that only the calcium and phospholipids dependent protein kinase C was affected by the treatment with CCl4, while kinases not requiring these factors for their activity were unmodified. Several 4-hydroxyunsaturated aldehydes known to be produced during CCl4-stimulated lipid peroxidation were found to inhibit protein kinase C at micromolar concentrations, suggesting the possibility that peroxidative events might be responsible for the impairment of protein kinase C during CCl4 intoxication.
