title: 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 targets PKC-betaII but not PKC-alpha to the basolateral plasma membranes of rat colonocytes.
abstract: Prior studies by our laboratory have shown that 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 activated PKC-alpha, but not PKC-delta, -epsilon, or -zeta, in normal rat colonocytes. In the present studies we demonstrate for the first time that this secosteroid also activated PKC-betaII, another DAG- and Ca2+-dependent PKC isoform recently shown to be present in these cells. Moreover, this activation of PKC-betaII by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment of isolated colonocytes was shown to be lost in cells from vitamin D-deficient rats and, at least partially, restored by repleting these animals with this secosteroid for 7 days. Under basal conditions, the expression of PKC-alpha and -betaII in brush-border membranes was comparable to their respective expression in basolateral plasma membranes of rat colonocytes. In contrast, the expression of PKC-delta was significantly greater in brush-border membranes, whereas PKC-epsilon and -zeta were enriched in the basolateral plasma membranes. Furthermore, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 specifically induced the translocation of PKC-betaII, but not PKC-alpha, to the basolateral, but not brush-border plasma membranes of rat colonocytes, via a pp60(c-src)-dependent mechanism.
