Role of the PKCα-c-Src tyrosine kinase pathway in the mediation of p120-catenin degradation in ventilator-induced lung injury.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is commonly associated with respiratory barrier dysfunction; however, the mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to determine the order and components of the signalling pathway that mediates the degradation of adherin junction of p120-catenin in VILI.
METHODS: For the in vivo study, C57BL/6 mice were pre-treated with inhibitors for 60 min prior to 4 h of mechanical ventilation. For the in vitro study, mouse lung epithelial 12 (MLE-12) cells were pre-treated with inhibitors for 60 min or small interfering RNA (siRNA) for 48 h prior to cyclic stretch at 20% for 4 h. The protein levels of protein kinase Cα (PKCα), activated c-Src and p120-catenin were determined via western blot analysis. Lung injury was determined via HE staining, immunofluorescence, wet/dry ratio and lung injury scores.
RESULTS: High tidal volume mechanical ventilation and 20% cyclic stretch resulted in the degradation of p120-catenin. Inhibitors of PKCα blocked c-Src kinase activation and p120-catenin degradation in VILI. Inhibitors of c-Src kinase or PP2 or siRNA blocked p120-catenin degradation but not PKCα activation.
CONCLUSION: The current findings demonstrates that PKCα and c-Src kinase participate in VILI. PKCα activation phosphorylates c-Src kinase and further decreases p120-catenin in VILI.
