Interleukin 1-beta (IL1-beta) is a pleiotropic cytokine that stimulates a number of signal transduction pathways in cells, leading to different cellular responses. In this study we investigated the signal transduction pathways activated by IL1-beta in two different human cell lines: RD/TE671, a rhabdomyosarcoma, and EJ, a bladder-derived carcinoma. We showed that this cytokine induced the activation of protein kinase C-zeta (PKC-zeta) and the accumulation of a putative physiological PKC-zeta activator, phosphatidic acid [Limatola, Schaap, Moolenaar and van Blitterswijk (1994) Biochem.

Exogenously supplied phospholipase D, which generated cellular phosphatidic acid, was able to mimic the cytokine effect, supporting the hypothesis that this lipid second messenger might contribute to cytokine-induced PKC-zeta activation. In addition, we show that IL1-beta stimulation of BOSC23 cells, transiently overexpressing PKC-zeta, induced an increase in PKC-zeta autophosphorylation. These results give the first direct evidence that IL1-beta can activate this atypical PKC isoform and suggest that this enzyme might be involved in mediating some of the biological effects induced by IL1-beta.

Abstract

Interleukin 1-beta (IL1-beta) is a pleiotropic cytokine that stimulates a number of signal transduction pathways in cells, leading to different cellular responses. In this study we investigated the signal transduction pathways activated by IL1-beta in two different human cell lines: RD/TE671, a rhabdomyosarcoma, and EJ, a bladder-derived carcinoma. We showed that this cytokine induced the activation of protein kinase C-zeta (PKC-zeta) and the accumulation of a putative physiological PKC-zeta activator, phosphatidic acid [Limatola, Schaap, Moolenaar and van Blitterswijk (1994) Biochem. J. 304, 1001-1008]. Exogenously supplied phospholipase D, which generated cellular phosphatidic acid, was able to mimic the cytokine effect, supporting the hypothesis that this lipid second messenger might contribute to cytokine-induced PKC-zeta activation. In addition, we show that IL1-beta stimulation of BOSC23 cells, transiently overexpressing PKC-zeta, induced an increase in PKC-zeta autophosphorylation. These results give the first direct evidence that IL1-beta can activate this atypical PKC isoform and suggest that this enzyme might be involved in mediating some of the biological effects induced by IL1-beta.
