Increased Kit/SCF receptor induced mitogenicity but abolished cell motility after inhibition of protein kinase C
Författare
Summary, in English
The product of the c-kit proto-oncogene, denoted Kit/SCF-R, encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor for stem cell factor (SCF). Kit/SCF-R induces proliferation, differentiation or migration of cells within the hematopoietic, gametogenic and melanogenic lineages at different developmental stages. We report here that protein kinase C (PKC) mediates phosphorylation of Kit/SCF-R on serine residues in response to SCF or PMA in intact cells. The phosphorylation inhibits SCF-induced tyrosine autophosphorylation of Kit/SCF-R. In vitro studies showed that PKC phosphorylated the Kit/SCF-R directly on serine residues and inhibited autophosphorylation of Kit/SCF-R, as well as its kinase activity towards an exogenous substrate. The PKC-induced phosphorylation did not affect Kit/SCF-R ligand binding affinity. Inhibition of PKC led to increased SCF-induced tyrosine autophosphorylation, as well as increased SCF-induced mitogenicity. In contrast, PKC was necessary for SCF-induced motility responses, including actin reorganization and chemotaxis. Our data suggest that PKC is involved in a negative feedback loop which regulates the Kit/SCF-R and that the activity of PKC determines whether the effect of SCF will be preferentially mitogenic or motogenic.
