Retinoic acid (RA)-induced differentiation of B16 mouse melanoma cells is accompanied by a large increase in the amount of PKCα protein. Overexpression of PKCα in these cells results in a more differentiated phenotype. To determine if these findings had general applicability to murine melanomas, we investigated the relationship between sensitivity to RA and induction of PKCα in three different murine melanoma cell lines. RA inhibited the anchorage-dependent growth of all three cell lines, with JB/MS being the most sensitive, S91 intermediate, and RPMI the least affected. RA also inhibited soft agar colony formation in JB/MS, but had little effect on RPMI. All cell lines expressed PKCα, but not β or γ. RA induced a large concentration-dependent increase in PKCα protein in JB/MS (6- to 10-fold), a smaller increase in S91 (2- to 3-fold), and very little induction of PKCα in RPMI. Previously we had observed that the amount of PKCα increased with the density of B16 cells in culture. We found that this density-dependent increase in PKCα occurred in three out of four melanoma cell lines examined. These results suggest that PKCα plays an important role in RA-induced murine melanoma cell differentiation.
