A possible regulatory mechanism of protein kinase C (PKC) in the chondrogenesis of chick limb bud mesenchymes has been investigated. Inhibition or down-regulation of PKC resulted in the activation of a mitogen-activated protein kinase subtype Erk-1 and the inhibition of chondrogenesis. On the other hand, inhibition of Erk-1 with PD98059 enhanced chondrogenesis and relieved PKC-induced blockage of chondrogenesis. Erk-1 inhibition, however, did not affect expression and subcellular distribution of PKC isoforms expressed in mesenchymes nor cell proliferation. The results suggest that PKC regulates chondrogenesis by modulating Erk-1 activity. Inhibition or depletion of PKC inhibited proliferation of chondrogenic competent cells, and Erk-1 inhibition did not affect PKC modulation of cell proliferation. However, PKC-induced modulation of expression of cell adhesion molecules involved in precartilage condensation was reversed by the inhibition of Erk-1. Expression of N-cadherin was detected at the early period of chondrogenesis. Inhibition or depletion of PKC induced sustained expression of N-cadherin, and Erk-1 inhibition blocked the effects of PKC modulation. The expression of integrin 51 and fibronectin was found to be increased transiently during chondrogenesis. Depletion or inhibition of PKC caused a continuous increase of the expression of these molecules throughout the culture period, and Erk-1 inhibition abolished the modulating effects of PKC. Because reduction of the examined cell adhesion molecule expression is a prerequisite for the progression of chondrogenesis after cell condensation, our results indicate that PKC regulates chondrogenesis by modulating expression of these molecules via Erk-1 signaling.
