Abstract
Previous work had established that, in smooth muscle cells, alpha-tocopherol negatively regulates protein kinase C by preventing its activation [Tasinato, A., Boscoboinik, D., Bartoli, G. M., Maroni, P. & Azzi, A. (1995) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 92, 12190-12194]. In this study, the mechanism by which this event takes place has been analyzed. The regulation by alpha-tocopherol of protein kinase C expression, activity and phosphorylation has been followed during the synthesis of protein kinase C after its down-regulation by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. The data show that protein kinase C isoenzyme alpha is synthesised significantly more (30% 72 h after down-regulation) in the presence of alpha-tocopherol. However, its activity is significantly less (45% diminution) and its phosphorylation state is also decreased (60% diminution). The effect of alpha-tocopherol appears not to be shared by the analogue beta-tocopherol, provided with similar radical-scavenging properties. The data are interpreted in terms of a diminution of protein kinase C phosphorylation, specifically caused by alpha-tocopherol, resulting in a decreased enzyme specific activity.
