Substance P (SP) participates in acute intestinal inflammation via binding to the G-protein-coupled neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) and release of nuclear factor
B (NF-
B)-driven proinflammatory cytokines from colonic epithelial cells. However, the signal transduction pathways by which SP-NK-1R interaction induces NF-
B activation and interleukin-8 (IL-8) production are not clear. Here, we examined participation of protein kinase C (PKC) in SP-induced IL-8 production in human nontransformed NCM460 colonocytes stably transfected with the human NK-1R (NCM460-NK-1R cells). SP (10-7 M) induced an early (1 min) phosphorylation of the PKC isoforms PKC
, PKC
, and PKC
, followed by I-
B kinase, I
B
, and p65 phosphorylation. Depletion of PKC by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (10 µM) blocked SP-induced I
B
and p65 phosphorylation and IL-8 production. The PKC
inhibitor rottlerin at a low concentration (1 µM), but not pseudosubstrate PKC
and PKC
inhibitors (10 µM), significantly reduced IL-8 secretion. PKC
silencing by RNA interference reduced PKC
protein expression and SP-induced PKC
phosphorylation that was associated with diminished IL-8 promoter and NF-
B luciferase activities in response to SP. Moreover, overexpression of wild-type PKC
increased SP-induced IL-8 promoter- and NF-
B-driven luciferase activities that were rottlerin-sensitive. We conclude that PKC
plays an important role in SP-induced proinflammatory signaling in human colonocytes.
