Abstract

Activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) by interleukin-6 (IL-6) involves phosphorylation of Tyr-705 and Ser-727, both of which are critical for STAT3 transactivation. Here, we demonstrate that IL-6 activates Rac-1 and SEK-1/MKK-4 of the stress-activated protein kinase pathway, as well as protein kinase Cdelta (PKCdelta), as indicated by PKCdelta Thr-505 phosphorylation. However, JNK-1, the end point kinase of the stress-activated protein kinase pathway signal transduction cascade, is not activated by IL-6. PKCdelta was found to be associated with SEK-1/MKK-4 in unstimulated HepG2 cells but rapidly dissociates from SEK-1/MKK-4 upon IL-6 stimulation to become associated with STAT3. Inhibition of PKCdelta using rottlerin (6 microm) or by overexpression of dominant negative PKCdelta demonstrates that PKCdelta kinase activity is required for STAT3 Ser-727 phosphorylation and transactivation but not for STAT3 Tyr-705 phosphorylation or nuclear import. PKCdelta signals downstream of Rac-1 and SEK-1/MKK-4, because enhanced STAT3 transactivation induced by overexpression of constitutive active RacV12 was strongly abrogated by rottlerin, whereas IL-6-induced SEK-1/MKK-4 Thr-223 phosphorylation was not aff...Continue Reading
