摘要

The epsilon isoform of protein kinase C (PKCepsilon) is a member of the PKC family of serine/threonine kinases and plays a critical role in protection against ischemic injury in multiple organs. Functional proteomic analyses of PKCepsilon signaling show that this isozyme forms multiprotein complexes in the heart; however, the precise signaling mechanisms whereby PKCepsilon orchestrates cardioprotection are poorly understood. Here we report that Lck, a member of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, forms a functional signaling module with PKCepsilon. In cardiac cells, PKCepsilon interacts with, phosphorylates, and activates Lck. In vivo studies showed that cardioprotection elicited either by cardiac-specific transgenic activation of PKCepsilon or by ischemic preconditioning enhances the formation of PKCepsilon-Lck modules. Disruption of these modules, via ablation of the Lck gene, abrogated the infarct-sparing effects of these two forms of cardioprotection, indicating that the formation of PKCepsilon-Lck signaling modules is required for the manifestation of a cardioprotective phenotype. These findings demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, that the assembly of a module (PKCepsilon-Lck) is an obligatory step in the signal transduction that results in a specific phenotype. Thus, PKCepsilon-Lck modules may serve as novel therapeutic targets for the prevention of ischemic injury.
