An Atypical Protein Kinase C (PKCζ) Plays a Critical Role in Lipopolysaccharide-Activated NF-κB in Human Peripheral Blood Monocytes and Macrophages

Abstract: We have reported that the bacterial LPS induces the activation of NF-κB and inflammatory cytokine gene expression and that this requires the activity of small GTPase, RhoA. In this study, we show that an atypical protein kinase C isozyme, PKCζ, associates functionally with RhoA and that PKCζ acts as a signaling component downstream of RhoA. Stimulation of monocytes and macrophages with LPS resulted in PKCζ activation and that inhibition of PKCζ activity blocks both LPS-stimulated activation of NF-κB and IL-1β … Show more

“…Thus, PKC can directly associate with and efficiently phosphorylate RelA, and, more importantly, TNF-␣-induced phosphorylation of RelA in vivo was shown to be dramatically inhibited in pkc Ϫ/Ϫ embryonic fibroblasts (34). Moreover, PKC has also been implicated in LPS-induced NF-B activation within human peripheral blood monocytes and macrophages through its association with both RhoA and activating transforming growth factor ␤-activated kinase-1 (TAK1) (36). Our findings also implicate a role for PKC in TNF signaling in airway epithelial cells.…”

“…PKC (as well as PKC␦ and PKC) activity is increased seven-to eightfold by 5 min after TNF-␣ challenge (550). Finally Rac1 is activated (796). NOX2 requires active Rac1 (297) as well as phosphorylation of the p47 phox regulatory subunit, probably by PKC (796).…”

“…Antioxidants interact directly with and neutralize ROS which have been used to reverse oxidant-mediated pulmonary injury. Protection from endotoxin-induced inflammation may be mediated by the inhibition of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) which is an enzyme critical to NF-κB activation by LPS in macrophages (Huang et al, 2009). Therefore, it is expected that MSCs reduce MUC5AC production through an antioxidant mechanisms.…”
