Abstract
We present evidence for the presence of specific, high-affinity bindin g sites for tritiated phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate on osteosarcoma-derived (HT-3) cells. Activation of protein kinase C by a phorbol ester resul ted in an inhibition of alkaline phosphatase activity and the accumula tion of prostaglandin E(2). Indomethacin blocked prostaglandin E(2) pr oduction and enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity, These data sugges t that prostaglandin E(2) is enhanced by activation of protein kinase C, and in turn, alkaline phosphatase activity is reduced.
