The purpose of this study was to determine the role of protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes in carbachol-induced protein secretion in the lacrimal gland. Three isoforms of PKC are present in rat lacrimal gland; PKC-alpha, -delta and -epsilon. Carbachol translocated PKC-epsilon during 5 s incubation. Pretreatment with PdBu for 0 to 4 h down-regulated PKC-alpha by 31% at 20 min, PKC-epsilon by 36% at 2 h, and PKC-delta by 37% at 4 h. A 2 h phorbol ester treatment inhibited carbachol-induced secretion completely at 1 min and partially at 5, and 20 min, but did not alter the carbachol-induced increase in the intracellular [Ca2+]. We conclude that PKC-alpha and -epsilon, but not PKC-delta, are implicated in cholinergic agonist-induced protein secretion in rat lacrimal gland.
本研究的目的是确定蛋白激酶C(PKC)同工酶在卡巴胆碱诱导的泪腺蛋白质分泌中的作用。大鼠泪腺中存在三种PKC同工型;PKC-α、-δ和-ε。在孵育5秒期间,卡巴胆碱使PKC-ε易位。用佛波酯(PdBu)预处理0至4小时,在20分钟时使PKC-α下调31%,在2小时时使PKC-ε下调36%,在4小时时使PKC-δ下调37%。佛波酯处理2小时在1分钟时完全抑制了卡巴胆碱诱导的分泌,在5分钟和20分钟时部分抑制,但未改变卡巴胆碱诱导的细胞内[Ca2+]升高。我们得出结论,PKC-α和-ε而非PKC-δ参与了大鼠泪腺中胆碱能激动剂诱导的蛋白质分泌。
