Previously, we reported that 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced apoptosis of LNCaP human prostate cancer cells was accompanied by prolonged translocation of protein kinase C (PKC)alpha to non-nuclear membranes and that TPA-resistant LNCaP cells had down-regulated PKCalpha . Here we show that 10 nM bryostatin 1 induced transient membrane translocation and down-regulation of PKCalpha , prolonged translocation of PKCdelta and epsilon  to non-nuclear membranes, and did not induce cell death but blocked TPA-induced apoptosis. To test the hypothesis that inhibition of TPA-induced apoptosis by bryostatin 1 was due to down-regulation of PKCalpha , we inducibly overexpressed PKCalpha in LNCaP cells. Overexpression of PKCalpha alone did not induce apoptosis, even in clones that contained much more membrane-bound, active PKCalpha than was observed in TPA-treated untransfected LNCaP cells. However, the addition of 10 nM bryostatin 1 to PKCalpha -overexpressing LNCaP cells did not yield down-regulation of PKCalpha and induced extensive apoptosis. Immunoblot analysis revealed that TPA induced prolonged hyperphosphorylation of Raf-1 and activation of extracellular-regulated/mitogen-activated protein kinases 1 and 2 in untransfected LNCaP cells, as did bryostatin 1 in PKCalpha -overexpressing cells. On the other hand, bryostatin 1 induced only transient hyperphosphorylation of Raf-1 and activation of extracellular-regulated/mitogen-activated protein kinases 1 and 2 in untransfected LNCaP cells. These results confirm a role of prolonged membrane-associated PKCalpha in PKC activator-mediated LNCaP apoptosis and suggest involvement of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.
