HL-60 cells are very sensitive to the cytotoxic action of ether lipids. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain this cytotoxicity. We investigated the influence of the alkylphospholipid ET-18-OCH3 on the activity of protein kinase C. HL-60 cells were incubated with ET-18-OCH3 at a concentration of 20 micrograms/ml for 4 h. After the incubation the membrane fraction of the HL-60 cells was isolated and the activity of protein kinase C was determined while it was still associated with the membrane, using the synthetic peptide substrate [Ser25]-protein kinase C (19-31) as a protein kinase C specific substrate. The activity of the membrane-bound protein kinase C was increased in HL-60 cells treated with ET-18-OCH3 compared to untreated HL-60 cells. The increase in protein kinase C activity was not a consequence of translocation and appeared to be additive to the effect of the phorbol ester 12-myristate 13-acetate. In contrast, solubilized protein kinase C from HL-60 cells could be inhibited or stimulated in vitro by ET-18-OCH3, dependent on the mode of addition of ET-18-OCH3 and phospholipids. |
