title: Possible role of protein kinase C in the regulation of intracellular stability of focal adhesion kinase in mouse 3T3 cells.
abstract: Effects of various types of protein kinase inhibitor on the adhesion and spreading of BALB/c mouse 3T3 cells and on the phosphorylation and stability of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in the cells were studied. Inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases, methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate and herbimycin A, inhibited tyrosine-phosphorylation of FAK and the adhesion of 3T3 cells to fibronectin. Among inhibitors of serine/threonine kinases tested, calphostin C, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C, inhibited cell spreading rather than cell adhesion, and it induced the decrease of intracellular FAK within 30 min. Inhibitors of tyrosine kinase, A kinase, G kinase, and myosin light chain kinase did not induce such a rapid and specific decrease of FAK. When calphostin C (20 microM) was added to sub-confluent monolayer cultures, serine-phosphorylation of FAK was inhibited by 67% within 2 h, and decrease in the amount of FAK and rounding up of the cells began after 4 h. Label-chase experiments indicated that about 60% of 35S-labeled FAK degraded within 1-2 h after addition of calphostin C to monolayer cultures. These results indicated that serine-phosphorylation of FAK induced by protein kinase C was important in the regulation of metabolic stability of FAK.
