Abstract:
:The role of protein kinase C in radiation-induced death of thymocytes was studied. For this purpose murine thymocytes were irradiated and incubated for 6 h at 37 degrees C and afterwards the fraction of fragmented DNA was measured. Results indicate that radiation-induced DNA fragmentation can be prevented by adding the protein kinase C inhibitor H-7 or staurosporine to the thymocytes during incubation time. Incubation of irradiated cells with HA-1004, an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, with a minor effect on protein kinase C did not affect the DNA fragmentation induced by irradiation. Incubation of cells with phorboldibutyrate gave a dose-dependent induction of DNA fragmentation. This effect can be inhibited by staurosporine. These results suggest that radiation-induced DNA fragmentation is an active cellular process in which protein kinase C plays an important role.
