Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulates angiogenesis during development and disease. In pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells, VEGF expression is regulated by A2A adenosine receptor (A2AAR) activation. The present work examines the underlying signaling pathway. The adenylyl cyclase-protein kinase A cascade has no role in the downregulation of VEGF mRNA induced by the A2AAR agonist, CGS21680. Conversely, 6 h exposure of cells to either phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) or protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors mimicked the CGS21680-induced downregulation. PMA activated PKC

Distinct protein kinase isoforms mediate regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression by A{2a} adenosine receptor activation and phorbol esters in pheochromocytoma PC12 cells
, PKC
and PKC
and CGS21680 activated PKC
and PKC
as assessed by cellular translocation. By 6 h, PMA but not CGS21680 decreased PKC
and PKC
expression. Neither compound affected PKC
levels. Following prolonged PMA treatment to downregulate susceptible PKC isoforms, CGS21680 but not PMA inhibited the cobalt chloride induction of VEGF mRNA. The proteasome inhibitor, MG-132, abolished PMA- but not CGS21680-induced downregulation of VEGF mRNA. Phorbol 12,13-diacetate reduced VEGF mRNA levels while downregulating PKC
but not PKC
expression. In cells expressing a dominant negative PKC
construct, CGS21680 was unable to reduce VEGF mRNA. Together, the findings suggest that phorbol ester-induced downregulation of VEGF mRNA occurs due to a reduction of PKC
activity while that mediated by the A2AAR occurs following deactivation of PKC
