Inactivation of protein kinase Cdelta (PKCdelta ) is associated with resistance to terminal cell death in epidermal tumor cells, suggesting that activation of PKCdelta in normal epidermis may be a component of a cell death pathway. To test this hypothesis, we constructed an adenovirus vector carrying an epitope-tagged PKCdelta under a cytomegalovirus promoter to overexpress PKCdelta in normal and neoplastic keratinocytes. While PKCdelta overexpression was detected by immunoblotting in keratinocytes, the expression level of other PKC isozymes, including PKCalpha , PKCvarepsilon , PKCzeta , and PKCeta , did not change. Calcium-independent PKC-specific kinase activity increased after infection of keratinocytes with the PKCdelta adenovirus. Activation of PKCdelta by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) at a nanomolar concentration was lethal to normal and neoplastic mouse and human keratinocytes overexpressing PKCdelta . Lethality was inhibited by PKC selective inhibitors, GF109203X and Ro-32-0432. TPA-induced cell death was apoptotic as evidenced by morphological criteria, TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling) assay, DNA fragmentation, and increased caspase activity. Subcellular fractionation indicated that PKCdelta translocated to a mitochondrial enriched fraction after TPA activation, and this finding was confirmed by confocal microscopy of cells expressing a transfected PKCdelta -green fluorescent protein fusion protein. Furthermore, activation of PKCdelta in keratinocytes altered mitochondrial membrane potential, as indicated by rhodamine-123 fluorescence. Mitochondrial inhibitors, rotenone and antimycin A, reduced TPA-induced cell death in PKCdelta -overexpressing keratinocytes. These results indicate that PKCdelta can initiate a death pathway in keratinocytes that involves direct interaction with mitochondria and alterations of mitochondrial function.
