Signal transduction pathways controlling tumor cell locomotion are not yet well understood. We have studied the role of protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent protein phosphorylation associated with changes in cell shape and locomotor activity of Walker carcinosarcoma cells in culture. We show that the in

β¦ Synopsis
Treatment of M5076 tumor cells with the phorbol esters 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and phorbol 12,13 dibutyrate (PdBu) inhibited cellular proliferation, whereas 1,2-dioctanoyl-glycerol (DiC8) and 1 -0leoyl2-acetyl-glycerol (OAG) did not affect cell growth. Inhibition uf cellular proliferation in this cell line appears to be a consequence of protein kinase C (PKC) down-regulation since phorbol esters, but not a single application of diacylglycerols (DGs) downregulated cellular PKC levels. By repeated application of DGs, PKC down-regulation was achieved and correlated with inhibition of proliferation. Phorbol esterinduced PKC down-regulation wa5 reversible, upon removal of the phorbol ester, and the reappearance of PKC was associated with resumption of proliferation.
The mitogenic responsiveness of these cells to added serum depended upon cellular PKC levels. Phorbol esters also caused the phosphorylation of two proteins which were not phosphorylated in response to DG treatment. Inhibition of growth of M5076 cells appears to be associated with phosphorylation of two novel proteins and/or PKC down-regulation.
