What is Suppression of interleukin-1 beta and LDL scavenger receptor expression in macrophages by a selective protein kinase C inhibitor. about?

A human monocytic cell line, THP-1, stimulated with 40 nM phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), differentiated to macrophage-like cells, and exhibited increased expression and release of interleukin-1 beta and expression of acetylated low density lipoprotein (ac-LDL) receptors. A selective inhibitor, MDL 29,152 (4-propyl-5-(4-quinolinyl)-2(3H)-oxazolone) was used to show that this induction required activation of protein kinase C. MDL 29,152 acts in the catalytic domain of protein kinase C and is at least 200-fold selective for protein kinase C over cAMP-dependent protein kinase in THP-1 cells. MDL 29,152 (50 microM) reduced levels of interleukin-1 beta mRNA in PMA-stimulated cells by 76% and eliminated detectable interleukin-1 beta in the media. Flow cytometric analysis showed that 48 h after THP-1 activation, approximately 50% of the cells expressed ac-LDL receptors, while in the presence of 100 microM MDL 29,152, less than 5% of the cells expressed receptors. The relationship between THP-1 differentiation and protein kinase C activation was determined by following the expression of the cell surface antigen MO-1. Expression of MO-1 antigen increases as monocytes differentiate to macro
