Alterations in protein kinase C isoforms in experimentally-induced colitis in the rat

Abstract: The early increase in gene expression and protein levels for PKCalpha and zeta suggest that these isozymes may play roles in an acute model of colitis induced by TNBS. In contrast, the increase in PKCdelta and epsilon protein was not associated with mRNA changes suggesting that these isozymes are not similarly regulated in the inflamed colonic mucosa. In a chronic model of experimental colonic inflammation (HLA-B27), all of these isoforms appeared to be down-regulated.

“…On the basis of these observations, activation of PKC-␣ by S. typhimurium SipA likely plays an important role in mediating proinflammatory responses, rather than altering tight junctional components. Indeed, our finding that rSipA induced the activation of PKC-␣, -␦, and -⑀ in intestinal epithelial cells but that only PKC-␣ appears to be involved in transepithelial signaling to PMN is consistent with recent studies that investigated the role of PKC isoforms in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced models of colitis in rats (1). Analogous to our findings, experimentally induced colitis in the rat resulted in elevated levels and activation of PKC-␣, -␦, and -⑀, and, in addition, these studies report that early expression and activation of PKC-␣ may play an important role in promoting colitis in this acute model of inflammation.…”

“…We next examined the possibility that PKC activation is involved in regulating the pathway leading to PMN transepithelial migration. Since activation of PKC has been associated with inflammatory disease, as demonstrated in animal models as well as in response to enteric pathogens (Jacobson et al ., 1995; Chang et al ., 2000; Savkovic et al ., 2003), we first examined whether EAEC 042 induces translocation of this enzyme to the host cell membrane. As shown in Fig.…”
