Our laboratory is interested in understanding the regulation of NADPH oxidase activity in human monocyte/macrophages. Protein kinase C (PKC) is reported to be involved in regulating the phosphorylation of NADPH oxidase components in human neutrophils; however, the regulatory roles of specific isoforms of PKC in phosphorylating particular oxidase components have not been determined. In this study calphostin C, an inhibitor for both novel PKC (including PKCdelta, -epsilon, -theta, and -eta) and conventional PKC (including PKCalpha and -beta), inhibited both phosphorylation and translocation of p47(phox), an essential component of the monocyte NADPH oxidase. In contrast, GF109203X, a selective inhibitor of classical PKC and PKCepsilon, did not affect the phosphorylation or translocation of p47(phox), suggesting that PKCdelta, -theta, or -eta is required. Furthermore, rottlerin (at doses that inhibit PKCdelta activity) inhibited the phosphorylation and translocation of p47(phox). Rottlerin also inhibited O-2(.) production at similar doses. In addition to pharmacological inhibitors, PKCdelta-specific antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides were used. PKCdelta antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides inhibited the phosphorylation and translocation of p47(phox) in activated human monocytes. We also show, using the recombinant p47(phox)-GST fusion protein, that p47(phox) can serve as a substrate for PKCdelta in vitro. Furthermore, lysate-derived PKCdelta from activated monocytes phosphorylated p47(phox) in a rottlerin-sensitive manner. Together, these data suggest that PKCdelta plays a pivotal role in stimulating monocyte NADPH oxidase activity through its regulation of the phosphorylation and translocation of p47(phox).
