The proliferative response of IMR-90 fibroblasts at low and high population doubling level (PDL) to protein kinase C activation has been investigated to clarify whether the reduced mitogenic responsiveness of senescent cells can be ascribed to an alteration in protein kinase C signal transduction pathway. The results show that the signaling pathway leading to DNA synthesis through protein kinase C activation, appears to be modified in senescent IMR-90 human fibroblasts. High PDL fibroblasts exhibit a different sensitivity to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and dioctanoylglycerol (diC8); high glucose reduced responsiveness to PMA only in these cells. In addition, high PDL fibroblasts are characterized by an increase in diacylglycerol (DAG) cellular mass that could contribute to the different regulatory properties of the signaling pathway. On the other hand, the ability of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin to strikingly improve the proliferative response of high PDL cells to PMA indicates that an altered overall metabolism of arachidonate may represent a crucial step in the reduced mitogenic response involving protein kinase C activation.
