Megjegyzések:	In this paper, we investigated the isoform-specific roles of certain protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth. Here, we provide the first intriguing functional evidence that nPKCð (originally described as an inhibitor of proliferation in various cells types) is a key player in promoting both in vitro and in vivo skeletal muscle growth. Recombinant overexpression of a constitutively active nPKCð in C2C12 myoblast increased proliferation and inhibited differentiation. Conversely, overexpression of kinase-negative mutant of nPKCð (DN-nPKCð) markedly inhibited cell growth. Moreover, overexpression of nPKCð also stimulated in vivo tumour growth and induced malignant transformation in immunodeficient (SCID) mice whereas that of DN-nPKCð suppressed tumour formation. The role of nPKCð in the formation of rhabdomyosarcoma was also investigated where recombinant overexpression of nPKCð in human rhabdomyosarcoma RD cells also increased cell proliferation and enhanced tumour formation in mouse xenografts. The other isoforms investigated (PKCð, ð,ð) exerted only minor (mostly growth-inhibitory) effects in skeletal muscle cells. Collectively, our data introduce nPKCð as a novel growth-promoting molecule in skeletal muscles and invite further trials to exploit its therapeutic potential in the treatment of skeletal muscle malignancies.

Cím:	Protein kinase C-beta and -delta isoenzymes promote arachidonic acid production and proliferation of MonoMac-6 cells / Griger Z., Páyer E., Kovács I., Tóth I. B., Kovács L., Sipka S., Bíró T.
Dátum:	2007
ISSN:	0946-2716 (Print)
Megjegyzések:	In this study, we investigated the putative roles of certain protein kinase C (PKC) isoenzymes in the regulation of proliferation and arachidonic acid (AA) release in the human monocytoid MonoMac-6 cell line. Experiments employing specific PKC inhibitors and molecular biological methods (RNA-interference, recombinant overexpression) revealed that the two dominantly expressed isozymes, i.e., the "conventional" cPKCbeta and the "novel" nPKCdelta, promote AA production and cellular proliferation. In addition, using different phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) inhibitors, we were able to show that the calcium-independent iPLA(2) as well as diacylglycerol lipase (but not the cytosolic PLA(2)) function as "downstream" targets of cPKCbeta and nPKCdelta. In addition, we have also found that, among the other existing PKC isoforms, cPKCalpha plays a minor inhibitory role, whereas nPKCvarepsilon and aPKCzeta apparently do not regulate these cellular processes. In conclusion, in this paper we provide the first evidence that certain PKC isoforms play pivotal, specific, and (at least partly) antagonistic roles in the regulation of AA production and cellular proliferation of human monocytoid MonoMac-6 cells.

Cím:	Differential effects of fluoxetine enantiomers in mammalian neural and cardiac tissues / János Magyar, Zoltán Rusznák, Csaba Harasztosi, Ágnes Körtvély, Pál Pacher, Tamás Bányász, Csaba Pankucsi, László Kovács, Géza Szűcs, Péter P. Nánási, Valéria Kecskeméti

Megjegyzések:	Racemic fluoxetine is a widely used SSRI antidepressant compound having also anticonvulsant effect. In addition, it was shown that it blocked several types of voltage gated ion channels including neural and cardiac calcium channels. In the present study the effects of enantiomers of fluoxetine (R(-)-fluoxetine and S(+)-fluoxetine) were compared on neuronal and cardiac voltage-gated Ca2+ channels using the whole cell configuration of patch clamp techniques, and the anticonvulsant action of these enantiomers was also evaluated in a mouse epilepsy model. In isolated pyramidal neurons of the dorsal cochlear nucleus of the rat the effect of fluoxetine (S(+), R(-) and racemic) was studied on the Ca2+ channels by measuring peak Ba2+ current during ramp depolarizations. All forms of fluoxetine reduced the Ba2+ current of the pyramidal cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with a K, value of 22.3 +/- 3.6 muM for racemic fluoxetine. This value of K, was higher by one order of magnitude than found in cardiac myocytes with fluoxetine enantiomers (2.4 +/- 0.1 and 2.8 +/- 0.2 muM). Difference between the effects of the two enantiomers on neuronal Ba2+, current was observed only at 5 muM concentration: R(-)-fluoxetine inhibited 28 +/- 3% of the peak current, while S(+)-fluoxetine reduced the current by 18 +/- 2% (n=13, P<0.05). In voltage clamped canine ventricular cardiomyocytes both enantiomers of fluoxetine caused a reversible concentration-dependent block of the peak Ca2+ current measured at 0 mV. Significant differences between the two enantiomers in this blocking effect was observed at low concentrations only: S(+)-fluoxetine caused a higher degree of block than R(-)-fluoxetine (56.3 +/- 2.2% versus 49.1 +/- 2.2% and 95.5 +/- 0.9% versus 84.5 +/- 3.1% block with 3 and 10 μM S(+) and R(-)-fluoxetine, respectively, P<0.05, n=5). Studied in current clamp mode, micromolar concentrations of fluoxetine shortened action potential duration of isolated ventricular cells, while higher concentrations also suppressed maximum velocity of depolarization and action potential amplitude. This shortening effect was significantly greater in the case of S(+) than R(-)-fluoxetine at 1 and 3 muM concentrations, whereas no differences in their effects on depolarization were observed. In pentylenetetrazole-induced mouse epilepsy model fluoxetine pretreatment significantly increased the 60 min survival rate, survival duration and seizure latency. These effects were more pronounced with the R(-) than the S(+) enantiomer. The results indicate that fluoxetine exerts much stronger suppressive effect on cardiac than neuronal calcium channels. At micromolar concentrations (between 1 and 10 muM) R(-)-fluoxetine is more effective than the S(+) enantiomer on neuronal, while less effective on cardiac calcium channels. The stronger anticonvulsant effect of the R(-) enantiomer may, at least partially, be explained by these differences. Used as an antidepressant or anticonvulsant drug, less severe cardiac side-effects are anticipated with the R(-) enantiomer.
