UCN-01 (7-hydroxystaurosporine) has been demonstrated to be a potent inhibitor of tumor cell growth both in cell culture and with in vivo xenograft models. The ability of UCN-01 to inhibit the kinase activity of recombinant protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta was characterized using an in vitro kinase assay. Two distinct groups of isozymes could be defined on the basis of relative potency of kinase inhibition. UCN-01 was 15-20-fold more potent for inhibition of the Ca(2+)-dependent isozymes, compared with the Ca(2+)-independent isozymes. In contrast, UCN-02 (the diastereomer of UCN-01) and staurosporine exhibited less ability to discriminate between Ca(2+)-dependent and -independent isozymes. PKC-zeta was not inhibited by UCN-01, UCN-02, or staurosporine. IC50 values for UCN-01 inhibition of the Ca(2+)-dependent PKC-alpha, -beta, and -gamma were 29, 34, and 30 nM, respectively, and for the Ca(2+)-independent PKC- delta and -epsilon were 530 and 590 nM, respectively. IC50 values for staurosporine inhibition of the isozymes alpha, beta, and gamma were 58, 65, and 49 nM, respectively, and for the isozymes delta and epsilon were 325 and 160 nM, respectively. UCN-02 was significantly less potent for the inhibition of PKC-alpha, -beta, -gamma, -delta, and -epsilon (IC50 values of 530, 700, 385, 2800, and 1200 nM, respectively). An analysis of the inhibition by UCN-01 and staurosporine of the kinase activity of PKC-alpha and -delta indicated mixed inhibition kinetics. Increasing the ATP concentration resulted in decreased potency, as shown by increased IC50 values. In contrast, increasing the peptide substrate concentration resulted in increased potency, as shown by decreased IC50 values. Increasing concentrations of myelin basic protein as a PKC-alpha or -delta substrate also caused increased potency of inhibition by UCN-01. Because of the competitive nature of inhibition with respect to ATP and the uncompetitive nature with respect to substrate, the concentrations of these substrates can have dramatically different effects on the degree of inhibition observed. These data also suggest that UCN-01 may be an important tool for the dissection of PKC isozyme contributions to signal transduction pathways.
