Inhibition of nicotinic responses of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells by the protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220.

1. The effects of the protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, on the responses of cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells to nicotine, phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu) and K+ have been investigated. 2. Tyrosine hydroxylase activity was measured in situ in intact cells by measuring 14CO2 evolved fol...

Br J Pharmacol Research Article 1. The effects of the protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, on the responses of cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells to nicotine, phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu) and K+ have been investigated. 2. Tyrosine hydroxylase activity was measured in situ in intact cells by measuring 14CO2 evolved following the hydroxylation and rapid decarboxylation of [14C]-tyrosine offered to the cells. Secretion of endogenous adrenaline and noradrenaline was measured by use of h.p.l.c. with electrochemical detection. Cyclic AMP levels were measured in cell extracts by RIA. 3. Ro 31-8220 produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of 300 nM PDBu-stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity with an IC50 of < 2 microM and complete inhibition at 10 microM. It had no effect on the responses to forskolin. 4. Ro 31-8220 produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of 5 microM nicotine-stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity, adrenaline and noradrenaline secretion and cellular cyclic AMP levels, with an IC50 of about 3 microM and complete inhibition by 10 microM. At concentrations up to 10 microM, Ro 31-8220 had little or no effect on the corresponding responses to 50 mm K+. 5. A structural analogue of Ro 31-8220, bisindolylmaleimide V, that lacks activity as a protein kinase C inhibitor, had no effect up to 10 microM on PDBu-stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity or on nicotine-stimulated cyclic AMP levels or noradrenaline secretion and only marginal inhibitory effects on nicotine-stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity and adrenaline secretion. 6. A structurally related protein kinase C inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide I, inhibited PDBu-stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity with an IC50 of < 1 microM and complete inhibition by 3 microM, but had essentially no effect on nicotine stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity or catecholamine secretion. 7. The results suggest that Ro 31-8220 is not only a protein kinase C inhibitor but is also a potent inhibitor of nicotinic receptor responses in adrenal chromaffin cells by a mechanism unrelated to protein kinase C inhibition. The results are consistent with Ro 31-8220 being a nicotinic receptor antagonist. 1996-09 /pmc/articles/PMC1915873/ /pubmed/8886429 Text en
