The activation of kinases of the mitogen-activated protein kinase superfamily initiated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays an important role in transducing inflammatory signals. The pathway leading to the induction of stress-activated protein kinases in macrophages stimulated with LPS was investigated. The activation of Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) by LPS is herbimycin sensitive. Using specific inhibitors, it was shown that the pathway involves the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-K). However, in contrast to previous reports, the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac are not required downstream of PI 3-K for JNK activation. Instead, the phosphoinositides produced by PI 3-K stimulate protein kinase C (PKC) zeta activation through PDK1. In turn, activation of this atypical PKC leads to the stimulation of phosphatidylcholine phospholipase C (PC-PLC) and acidic sphingomyelinase (ASMase). It is therefore proposed that PKCzeta regulates the PC-PLC/ASMase pathway, and it is hypothesized that the resultant ceramide accumulation mediates the activation of the SEK/JNK module by LPS.
