Abstract

The intracellular signal transduction mechanism leading to desmosome formation in low-calcium-grown keratinocytes after addition of calcium to the medium was studied by immunofluorescence using antibodies to desmoplakins I and II (cytoplasmic desmosomal proteins) and by electron microscopy before and after addition of calcium; protein kinase C (PKC) activators 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (DOG); calcium ionophore A23187; selective PKC inhibitors 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) and staurosporine; and a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase inhibitor, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7). In previous studies using a low-calcium-grown human epidermal squamous cell carcinoma, we have shown that an increase in extracellular Ca2+ caused a four-fold increase in PKC activity and addition of TPA (10 ng/ml) induced a transient increase in membrane-bound PKC activity in association with cell-cell contact formation. The present study showed that TPA (10 ng/ml). PDBu (10 ng/ml), and DOG (1 mg/ml) induced a rapid cell-cell contact and redistribution of desmoplakins from cytoplasm to the plasma membrane with desmosome formation withi...Continue Reading
