Calcium is an important physiologic regulator of
keratinocyte function that may regulate keratinocyte differentiation
via modulation of protein kinase C (PKC) activity. PKC and PKC
are two PKC isoforms that are expressed at high levels in
keratinocytes. In the present study, we examine the effect of PKC
and PKC on calcium-dependent keratinocyte
differentiation as measured by effects on involucrin (hINV) gene
expression. Our studies indicate that calcium increases
hINV promoter activity and endogenous hINV gene
expression. This response requires PKC , as evidenced by the
observation that treatment with dominant-negative PKC inhibits calcium-dependent hINV promoter activity,
whereas wild type PKC increases activity. PKC , in contrast,
inhibits calcium-dependent hINV promoter
activation, a finding that is consistent with the ability of
dominant-negative PKC and the PKC inhibitor, Go6976, to increase
hINV gene expression. The calcium-dependent
regulatory response is mediated by an AP1 transcription factor-binding
site located within the hINV promoter distal regulatory
region that is also required for PKC -dependent
regulation; moreover, both calcium and PKC produce similar, but not
identical, changes in AP1 factor expression. A key question is whether
calcium directly influences PKC isoform function. Our studies show that
calcium does not regulate PKC or levels or cause a marked
redistribution to membranes. However, tyrosine phosphorylation of
PKC is markedly increased following calcium treatment. These
findings suggest that PKC and PKC are required for, and modulate,
calcium-dependent keratinocyte differentiation in opposing directions.
