Protein kinase C is now recognized to comprise a family of closely related subspecies (PKCs). When cultured rat pituitary cells were permeabilized by digitonin for 5 min in the absence of Ca2+, endogenous PKC activity was decreased by 72%. PKC depletion was also achieved by prior treatment (24 hr) with high concentrations of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). When purified activated brain PKCs were added for 30 min to PMA-pretreated, digitonin-permeabilized cells, only alpha- and beta- but not gamma-type PKC stimulated luteinizing hormone release. Since PKC was implicated as a mediator of gonadotropin secretion, gonadotropin-releasing hormone might utilize alpha- and beta-type PKCs for stimulation of gonadotropin secretion; alpha- and beta-type PKCs might participate also in other exocytotic responses in diverse biological systems in which PKC was implicated.
蛋白激酶C现在被认为是由一系列密切相关的亚类(PKC)组成。当在无Ca2+的情况下,用洋地黄皂苷将培养的大鼠垂体细胞通透处理5分钟时,内源性PKC活性降低了72%。通过预先用高浓度佛波酯12 -肉豆蔻酸酯13 -乙酸酯(PMA)处理(24小时)也能实现PKC的耗竭。当将纯化的活化脑PKC添加到经PMA预处理、洋地黄皂苷通透处理的细胞中30分钟时,只有α型和β型而非γ型PKC刺激促黄体生成素释放。由于PKC被认为是促性腺激素分泌的介质,促性腺激素释放激素可能利用α型和β型PKC来刺激促性腺激素分泌;α型和β型PKC也可能参与PKC涉及的多种生物系统中的其他胞吐反应。
