The activity and subcellular distribution of the calcium-phospholipid dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) were studied in normal and dystrophic muscle cells in vitro. Clonal strains of satellite cells, isolated from normal and dystrophic (C57BL/6J/dydy) mice, differentiate in vitro at a comparable level (over 80% of fusion). Differentiated myotubes were homogenized and separated into a soluble and a particulate fraction. The activity of protein kinase C was assayed in both fractions, and was found to be mainly in the cytosol of normal cells, whereas it was mainly associated to the membrane fraction of dystrophic cells. This altered distribution of the enzyme was likely consequent to alterations in the phospholipid composition of the dystrophic cell membrane, since it was possible to partially revert the situation by modifying the membranes with liposome-delivered phospholipids. Splenic lymphocytes from dystrophic mice showed an altered distribution of protein kinase C similar to that observed in muscle cells. The possible biochemical basis and the functional consequences of this altered distribution of the enzyme in the dystrophic cells are discussed.
