ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of this study was to determine whether gamma-rays can affect Ca2+-induced differentiation in normal and neoplastic mouse epidermal cells. METHODS AND MATERIALS After gamma-ray irradiation, primary and v-rasHa transformed mouse keratinocytes were cultured for 48 h in 0.12 mM Ca2+-containing media, and cellular translocation from cytosolic to particulated fraction of each PKC isozyme and expressions of differentiation markers were examined.RESULTS:
Morphological difference was seen at 48 h after irradiation in both Ca2+-shifted normal and v-rasHa transformed cells; v-rasHa cells were more resistant to the radiation than normal cells. Radiation potentiated granular cell-differentiation marker expressions (filaggrin, loricrin, and SPR-1) in both normal and v-rasHa transformed cells. In the case of spinous cell markers, the expression of keratins K1 and K10, which are usually blocked in v-rasHa cells was increased after irradiation. However, there was no change of K8 expression level, which can be seen only after v-rasHa transfection. Cellular fractionation and immunoblot analysis with antibodies against PKCalpha, delta, epsilon, eta, and xi revealed that PKCalpha was responsible for the differentiation marker expression.CONCLUSIONS:
These findings suggest that PKCalpha is an important component of the signaling pathway regulating radiation-induced differentiation in both normal and neoplastic epidermal cells.
