Requirement for protein kinase C activation in basic fibroblast growth factor-induced human endothelial cell proliferation

Abstract

The intracellular signaling mechanisms that mediate basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis have not been fully identified. In particular, whether activation of the intracellular enzyme protein kinase C (PKC) is necessary or sufficient for bFGF-induced mitogenesis of human endothelial cells is not clear. Accordingly, the effect of bFGF stimulation on the Ca2+ increase and PKC activity of normal human endothelial cells (HEC) was studied, as was the effect of inhibition of PKC and the distribution of PKC isoenzymes in these cells. The addition of bFGF to cultured HEC increased overall PKC activity in the absence of an increase in intracellular Ca2+ and markedly stimulated their proliferation, as did the addition of PKC-activating phorbol esters. bFGF-induced proliferation was prevented by the PKC inhibitors chelerythrine and H-7 and by downregulation of PKC after prolonged incubation with phorbol esters. In contrast, these inhibitors did not prevent HEC proliferation induced by epidermal growth factor. Because of the failure of bFGF to increase Ca2+, we determined whether bFGF-induced proliferation could be mediated by novel or atypical PKC isoenzymes (which are not regulated by Ca2+). Investigation of the isoe...Continue Reading
