Vitamin E activates CRABP-II gene expression in cultured human fibroblasts, role of protein kinase C.
FEBS Letters(2004)
摘要
The treatment of human fibroblasts with different tocopherols in the presence of retinol caused an increase in cytoplasmic retinoic acid binding protein II (CRABP-II) mRNA and protein. The possibility of an involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in the response to tocopherols was supported by the results obtained with the PKC-specific inhibitors, calphostin C and bisindolylmaleimide I. The effect of α-tocopherol was prevented by okadaic acid, suggesting that a protein phosphatase is responsible for PKC dephosphorylation produced by the presence of tocopherols. The results shown support the hypothesis that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of RXRα via PKC may be involved in the regulation of CRABP-II gene expression.
