Human epidermoid carcinoma KB cells exhibit rapid induction of membrane ruffling in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin, and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) (Kadowaki, T., Koyasu, S., Nishida, E., Sakai, H., Takaku, F., Yahara, I., and Kasuga, M. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 16141-16147). We have analyzed the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in this response. Treatment of KB cells with 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) (100 ng/ml) for 30 min caused translocation of PKC to the membrane. This treatment completely inhibited the induction of membrane ruffling by EGF, insulin, and IGF-I. Prolonged treatment with PDBu (200 ng/ml for 15 h) induced complete depletion of the PKC activity in the cells. Under these conditions, EGF binding to cells and autophosphorylation of the EGF receptor occurred normally, while EGF could not induce membrane ruffling. In contrast, insulin- or IGF-I-induced membrane ruffling occurred normally in the PKC-depleted cells. Moreover, H-7 (PKC inhibitor) inhibited only EGF-induced membrane ruffling in a dose-dependent manner. We further found that EGF, but not insulin/IGF-I, caused transient translocation of PKC to the membrane. All these results suggest that PKC is required for the membrane ruffling induced by EGF but not for that induced by insulin/IGF-I. Therefore, there are PKC-dependent and independent pathways in the growth factor-induced membrane ruffling. Furthermore, we propose dual roles of PKC in the EGF signaling, a signal transmitting role and a negative feedback role.
