Background

Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, a phorbol ester, is an activator of PKC, including the conventional calcium-dependent subtypes (α and γ), the nonconventional calcium-independent isoforms (δ, ε, η), as well as the atypical calcium-independent and DAG or phorbol ester-unresponsive subtype (ζ). PKC plays an important role in the regulation of a variety of cellular processes such as exocytosis, gene expression, cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as tumor promotion, thereby representing the major target for tumor-promoting phorbol esters and chemically unrelated tumor promoters. Phorbol esters are able to replace the endogenous activator DAG in the stimulation of PKC, and participate in the multistage process of tumor formation and progression.

Protocol

Cell experiment:[2]

Cell lines

OK and LLC-PK1 cells expressing detectable levels of PKCα and PKCζ

Reaction Conditions

1 mM phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate for 10 min incubation

Applications

Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate activated PKC, and inhibited Na/K-ATPase transport activity in OK cells, but not in LLC-PK1 cells.

Animal models

Female CD-1 mice, 8 weeks of age

Dosage form

9.7 µmol; 0.067 µmol/ear

Topical administration

Applications

Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate induced papilloma formation in mice with a total dose of 9.7 µmol required to produce papillomas in 50% of survivors after eight weeks. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate also induced inflammation in 50% of mice when administered topically to the ear at a dose of 0.067 µmol/ear.
