N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnT-III) is a key enzyme that inhibits the extension of N-glycans by introducing a bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residue. Our previous studies have shown that modification of N-glycans by GnT-III affects a number of intracellular signaling pathways. In this study, the effects of GnT-III on the cellular response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined. We found that an overexpression of GnT-III suppresses H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis in HeLaS3 cells. In the case of GnT-III transfectants, activation of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) following H(2)O(2) treatment was markedly reduced compared with control cells. Either the depletion of protein kinase C (PKC) by prolonged treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or the inhibition of PKC by the specific inhibitor H7 attenuated the H(2)O(2)-induced activation of JNK1 and apoptosis in control cells but not in the GnT-III transfectants. Furthermore, we found that H(2)O(2)-induced phosphorylation of PKC delta was markedly suppressed in GnT-III transfectants. Rottlerin, a specific inhibitor of PKC delta, significantly inhibited H(2)O(2)-induced activation of JNK1 in control cells, indicating that PKC delta is involved in the pathway. These findings suggest that the overexpression of GnT-III suppresses H(2)O(2)-induced activation of PKC delta-JNK1 pathway, resulting in inhibition of apoptosis.
