AbstractThe circulatory inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is increased in pathologic conditions that initiate or exacerbate vascular endothelial injury, such as diabetes. Protein kinase C (PKC) has been shown to play a critical role in TNF-α-induced human endothelial cell apoptosis. However, the relative roles played by specific isoforms of PKC in TNF-α-induced human endothelial cell apoptosis have not been addressed. We investigated the effects of a selective PKCβ2 inhibitor (CGP53353) on TNF-α-induced apoptosis in human vascular endothelial cells (cell line ECV304) and on the production of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide, and compared its effects with rottlerin, a reagent that has been shown to reduce PKCδ protein levels. Cultured human vascular endothelial cells (ECV304) were treated for 24 h with one of 4 regimes: 40 ng/mL TNF-α alone (TNF-α), TNF-α with 10 μmol/L rottlerin (T+rottlerin), TNF-α with 1 μmol/L CGP53353 (T+CGP), or untreated (control). Cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. TNF-a-induced endothelial cell apoptosis was associated with dramatic increases in production of intracellular hydrogen peroxide (approximately 20 times greater than control) and superoxide (approximately 16 times greater than control), as measured by dichlorofluorescein and dihydroethidium fluorescent staining, respectively. This increase was accompanied by reduced activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase and, subsequently, an increase in the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde. CGP53353, but not rottlerin, abolished or attenuated all these changes. We conclude that PKCβ 2plays a major role in TNF-α-induced human vascular endothelial cell apoptosis.
