Role of protein kinase C-delta in isoproterenol-induced amylase release in rat parotid acinar cells.
In parotid acinar cells, beta-adrenergic receptor activation results in accumulation of intracellular cAMP. Subsequently, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is activated and consequently amylase release is provoked. In this paper, we investigated involvement of protein kinase C-delta (PKC delta), a novel isoform of PKC, in amylase release induced by beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation. Amylase release stimulated with the beta-agonist isoproterenol (IPR) was inhibited by rottlerin, an inhibitor of PKC delta. IPR activated PKC delta and the effect of IPR were inhibited by a PKA inhibitor, H89. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a major cellular substrate for PKC, was detected in rat parotid acinar cells, and a MARCKS inhibitor, MARCKS-related peptide, inhibited the IPR-induced amylase release. IPR stimulated MARCKS phosphorylation, which was found to be inhibited by H89 and rottlerin. These observations suggest that PKC delta activation is a downstream pathway of PKA activation and is involved in amylase release via MARCKS phosphorylation in rat parotid acinar cells stimulated with beta-adrenergic agonist.
