ABSTRACT |
|---|
|
|
|---|
Both MAPK and protein kinase C (PKC) signaling
pathways promote cell survival and protect against cell death. Here, we
show that 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)
prevents Fas-induced apoptosis in T lymphocytes. The effect of TPA was
specifically abolished by the PKC inhibitor GF109203X and by dominant
negative PKC In several cell lines, apoptosis is antagonized by growth factors
and hormones and, more generally, by stimuli that promote cell
survival. Interleukin 3 and insulin-like growth factor 1 exert their
antiapoptotic effect through activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, which, in turn, leads to activation of the serine/threonine protein kinase B (PKB/Akt), which promotes cell survival by
phosphorylating BAD at Ser136 (1-6). Interestingly,
interleukin 3, through activation of a mitochondrial membrane based
protein kinase A, also stimulates phosphorylation of BAD at
Ser112 (6, 7). When phosphorylated at Ser112 or
Ser136, BAD is complexed to the cytosolic 14.3.3 protein.
Association of BAD with 14.3.3 prevents its dimerization with the
antiapoptotic Bcl-XL protein, thus favoring cell survival
(6). Furthermore, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and agonists such
as the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate
(TPA)1 have been shown to
phosphorylate BAD at Ser112 (8, 9). Brain-derived
neurotrophic factor exerts its antiapoptotic effect in a
mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated
kinase pathway (8). The mechanism of action of TPA remains
unclear, although MAPK-dependent (10-13) and -independent pathways have been described (9). TPA is a tumor promoter that binds
and activates members of a family of serine/threonine protein kinases
termed protein kinase C (PKC). PKC comprised at least 12 isotypes that
have been classified into three groups according to their structure and
cofactor requirement: (a) conventional PKCs (PKC Reporter Plasmids, Transfections, and Luciferase
Assays--
Transfections of Jurkat T cells were done by
electroporation with simple electric shock (320 V, 960 microfarads)
using the gene pulser system (Bio-Rad). Cells were transfected with 5 µg of the c-fos SRE luciferase vector with or without 14 µg of the different PKC mutants or transfected with 5 µg of a SRE luciferase reporter plasmid with 14 µg of the constitutively active PKC isoforms (14) in presence or absence of 14 µg of Rsk2-KN (8). Cells were
exposed to the different effectors as indicated in the figure legends.
Two days after transfection, soluble extracts were harvested in lysis
buffer (Promega) and assayed for luciferase activity. Luciferase
activity was normalized by protein amount. Transfections of HEK 293 cells were performed with a calcium phosphate transfection method
(Stratagene). HEK 293 cells were transfected with 2.5 µg of
glutathione S-transferase-BAD (New England Biolabs) with or without 2.5 µg of empty vector or vector encoding the PKC mutant constructs in presence or absence of Rsk2-KN. Two days after
transfection, cells were exposed to different effectors for the
indicated time as described in figure legends and then lysed to perform
Western blotting experiments.
Western Blot Assays--
Jurkat T cells or HEK 293 cells were
incubated with different effectors for the times indicated in the
figure legends, and then the cells were lysed in buffer containing 50 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM EDTA, 100 µM NaF, 10 mM
Na3VO4, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl
fluoride, 1 mM leupeptin, 20 µg/ml aprotinin, and 1%
Nonidet P-40. Proteins were separated on 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels,
transferred to PVDF membrane (Immobilon, Millipore), and then exposed
to the appropriate antibodies. BAD was detected with polyclonal
phospho-specific BAD Ser112 or Ser136
antibodies (New England Biolabs; dilution, 1:1000) or with an antibody
that recognizes BAD regardless of its phosphorylation state (New
England Biolabs; dilution, 1:1000) and with a secondary peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody at a 1:10000 dilution. Caspase 3, PKC DNA Fragmentation--
Jurkat T cells exposed to the different
effectors were collected and lysed with 200 µl of lysis buffer
containing 10 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA, and
0.2% Triton X-100. Samples were treated with 100 µg/ml RNase for 30 min and then treated with 100 µg/ml proteinase K for 30 min at
37 °C. Cellular DNA was isopropanol-precipitated, dried, and
resuspended in Tris-EDTA buffer for 30 min at 55 °C. DNA was
analyzed by electrophoresis on 1.2% agarose gels containing ethidium bromide.
Apoptosis is characterized by cytoplasmic shrinkage, chromatin
condensation, and nuclear DNA fragmentation and culminates in cellular
death (22). In Jurkat T cells, induction of apoptosis by CH11, an
anti-Fas monoclonal antibody that mimics the proapoptotic effect of Fas
ligand, results in the disappearance of intact DNA and in
internucleosomal DNA fragmentation (Fig.
1A). In the presence of TPA no
DNA ladder, indicative of fragmentation, was observed, demonstrating
that this phorbol ester protects cell from apoptosis and may promote
cell survival (Fig. 1A) (12). The caspase family of proteins
consists of more than a dozen proteins, among which caspase 3 is
crucial for the final step of the apoptotic program. CH11-induced
activation of caspase 3, as followed by the disappearance of its 32-kDa
zymogen form in Western blotting, was also blocked by treatment with
TPA (Fig. 1B). The effect of TPA on both DNA fragmentation
and caspase 3 activation was completely abrogated by the PKC inhibitor
GF109203X (GFX) but was weakly sensitive to the MEK
inhibitor PD98059 (PD, Fig. 1, A and
B). These results indicate that the extracellular
signal-regulated kinase pathway plays only a minor role in the
protective effect of TPA. Execution of the apoptotic program is
achieved through cleavage by caspases of numerous cellular proteins
that are essential for cell proliferation and survival (23). Among
these substrates, we previously identified the serum response factor as
a target for caspase 3 during CH11-mediated apoptosis (24). In Jurkat T
cells, cleavage of serum response factor results in a drastic
inhibition of the activity of a c-fos SRE luciferase reporter plasmid
(Fig. 1C) (24). Interestingly, TPA was found to counteract
the inhibitory effect of CH11 on SRE activity and to concomitantly
abrogate serum response factor cleavage (Fig. 1C) (24).
Consistent with DNA fragmentation and caspase 3 immunoblotting
analysis, the protective effect of TPA on SRE activity was completely
abolished by GF109203X but only weakly affected by PD98059. These
results indicate that SRE luciferase activity can be used as a reporter
to monitor the apoptotic process. To define which PKC isoforms were
involved in the protective effect of TPA on cell death, we verified the
activity of several PKC mutant constructs on CH11-mediated apoptosis.
We first assessed the ability of PKC mutant constructs to
mediate SRE activation. Jurkat cells were transiently cotransfected
with the SRE luciferase vector and different PKC mutant constructs. As
observed in HEK 293 cells, constitutively active mutants of PKC
, PKC
, and PKC
, suggesting that novel and
conventional PKC isoforms mediate phorbol ester action. Moreover, TPA
stimulated phosphorylation of BAD at serine 112, an effect abrogated by
GF109203X but not by the MEK inhibitor PD98059. Expression of
constitutively active PKC increased the phosphorylation of BAD at
serine 112 but not at serine 136. Additionally, Fas-mediated cell death
was enhanced by overexpression of a catalytically inactive form of p90Rsk (Rsk2-KN). Finally, Rsk2-KN abolished the protective effect of
constitutively active PKC and totally blocked phosphorylation of BAD on
serine 112. Thus, novel PKC
and PKC
rescue T lymphocytes from
Fas-mediated apoptosis via a p90Rsk-dependent
phosphorylation and inactivation of BAD.

PKC in the suppression of apoptosis has been demonstrated recently, the
mechanisms by which PKC promotes cell survival remain to be elucidated.

PKC
, and PKC
stimulated SRE activity (with PKC
PKC
> PKC
), whereas dominant negative mutants of these PKCs
were found to weakly inhibit the basal promoter activity (Fig.
2A) (25). Immunoblotting of
lysates from mock-transfected cells or cells transfected with either
PKC
, PKC
, or PKC
revealed that the level of expression of the
corresponding proteins was comparable (Fig. 2A). We then
studied the effect of PKC constructs on CH11-induced apoptosis.
Introduction of the constitutively active form of PKC
and PKC
totally prevented the CH11-induced inhibition of SRE activity, whereas
the effect of PKC
was less pronounced (Fig. 2B). On the
other hand, constitutively active PKC
failed to affect the induction
of apoptosis by CH11 (data not shown). The protective effect evoked by
constitutively active PKC
, PKC
, and, to a lesser extent, PKC
was abolished by GF109203X (Fig. 2B). Furthermore, dominant
negative mutants of PKC had no protective effect but rather increased
the inhibitory effect of CH11 on SRE activity, suggesting that they
behave as proapoptotic stimuli (Fig. 2B). Additionally,
dominant negative PKC
, PKC
, and PKC
impaired the stimulatory
effect of TPA on SRE activity, indicating that each of these PKC
isoforms may mediate the effect of TPA, although PKC
again appears
to be the most potent (Fig. 2C). These results strongly
suggest that TPA, through the activation of novel and probably
conventional PKC isoforms, protects cells from apoptosis. To better
understand how these PKC isoforms exert their antiapoptotic function,
we investigated the possible participation of an important regulator of
the cell death machinery, BAD. First, immunoblotting of protein lysates prepared from untreated, TPA-treated, or CH11-treated Jurkat T cells
with phospho-specific BAD antibodies revealed that TPA increased BAD
phosphorylation at Ser112, whereas CH11 dramatically
reduced the phosphorylation of BAD at the same site (Fig.
3, A and B). This
result indicates that CH11, which stimulates apoptosis through the
activation of death receptors, not only leads to caspase activation but
also plays a role in the regulation of the phosphorylation state of
BAD. Additionally, TPA promotes cell survival and BAD phosphorylation at Ser112 in Jurkat T cells. In HEK 293 cells,
TPA also stimulated phosphorylation of BAD at Ser112 but
not at Ser136, in agreement with the results of Tan
et al. (9) (Fig. 3C). In Jurkat T cells and in
HEK 293 cells, phosphorylation of BAD at Ser112 was
drastically inhibited by GF109203X, whereas PD98059 had no significant
ability to inhibit Ser112 phosphorylation (Fig. 3,
B and C). Thus, although PKC has been previously
shown to activate the MAPK pathway, MAPK activation is unlikely to be
the major signaling pathway by which TPA abrogates apoptosis (26-28).
Furthermore, we observed that Ly294002 had no effect on the TPA-induced
rise in BAD Ser112 phosphorylation, ruling out the
involvement of Akt in the protective effect of TPA (data not shown).
Interestingly, introduction of constitutively active PKC
, PKC
,
and PKC
in HEK 293 cells also led to phosphorylation of BAD at
Ser112 (Fig. 4A)
but not at Ser136 (Fig. 4B). Moreover, in cells
overexpressing dominant negative PKC, phosphorylation of BAD at
Ser112 was significantly reduced (Fig. 4A),
indicating that under basal conditions, BAD is already phosphorylated
in a PKC-dependent fashion at Ser112. Finally,
dominant negative PKC and, more particularly, PKC
blocked
TPA-induced stimulation of BAD at Ser112, demonstrating
that TPA-induced cell survival is mediated by these PKC isoforms (Fig.
4C). Until now, it has not been possible to show a direct
phosphorylation of BAD by PKC (9). On the other hand, it has recently
been demonstrated that the MAPK-activated p90 ribosomal S6 kinase
family (Rsk), a downstream target of extracellular signal-regulated
kinase, phosphorylates BAD at Ser112 both in
vitro and in vivo, and Rsk has been reported to protect cells from BAD-induced apoptosis (8, 9, 29, 30). Using the SRE
luciferase assay (24), we observed that introduction, in Jurkat T
cells, of a catalytically inactive form of Rsk 2, Rsk2-KN, not only
markedly decreased the protective effect of constitutively active
PKC
, PKC
, and PKC
but also potentiated the inhibitory effect
of CH11 (Fig. 5A).
Immunoblotting of HEK 293 cell lysates with the phospho-specific BAD
Ser112 antibody revealed that expression of Rsk2-KN
abrogated constitutively active PKC-induced phosphorylation of BAD at
Ser112 (Fig. 5B). Taken together, these results
demonstrate that Rsk is involved in the protective effect of PKC.
