ABSTRACT
Pulmonary edema is a major cause of mortality due to acute lung injury (ALI). The involvement of protein kinase C-delta (PKC-delta) in ALI has been a controversial topic. Here we investigated PKC-delta function in ALI using PKC-delta knockout (KO) mice and PKC inhibitors. Our results indicated that although the ability to produce proinflammatory mediators in response to LPS injury in PKC-delta KO mice was similar to that of control mice, they showed enhanced recruitment of neutrophils to the lung and more severe pulmonary edema. PKC-delta inhibition promoted barrier dysfunction in an endothelial cell layer in vitro, and administration of a PKC-delta-specific inhibitor significantly increased steady state vascular permeability. A neutrophil transmigration assay indicated that the PKC-delta inhibition increased neutrophil transmigration through an endothelial monolayer. This suggests that PKC-delta inhibition induces structural changes in endothelial cells, allowing extravasation of proteins and neutrophils.
