Key role of PKC and Ca2+ in EGF protection of microtubules and intestinal barrier against oxidants

Using monolayers of human intestinal (Caco-2) cells, we showed that growth factors (GFs) protect microtubules and barrier integrity against oxidative injury. Studies in nongastrointestinal cell models suggest that protein kinase C (PKC) signaling is key in GF-induced effects and that cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) is essential in cell integrity. We hypothesized that GF protection involves activating PKC and maintaining normal [Ca2+]i. Monolayers were pretreated with epidermal growth factor (EGF) or PKC or Ca2+ modulators before exposure to oxidants (H2O2 or HOCl). Oxidants disrupted microtubules and barrier integrity, and EGF protected from this damage. EGF caused rapid distribution of PKC-alpha , PKC-beta I, and PKC-zeta isoforms to cell membranes, enhancing PKC activity of membrane fractions while reducing PKC activity of cytosolic fractions. EGF enhanced 45Ca2+ efflux and prevented oxidant-induced (sustained) rises in [Ca2+]i. PKC inhibitors abolished and PKC activators mimicked EGF protection. Oxidant damage was mimicked by and potentiated by a Ca2+ ionophore (A-23187), exacerbated by high-Ca2+ media, and prevented by calcium removal or chelation or by Ca2+ channel antagonists. PKC activators mimicked EGF on both 45Ca2+ efflux and [Ca2+]i. Membrane Ca2+-ATPase pump inhibitors prevented protection by EGF or PKC activators. In conclusion, EGF protection of microtubules and the intestinal epithelial barrier requires activation of PKC signal transduction and normalization of [Ca2+]i.
