We previously demonstrated that ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) stimulates fibroblast and macrophage proliferation, but the mechanisms involved in this action have only been partially described. Here we demonstrate that C1P induces translocation of protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha) from the soluble to the membrane fraction of bone marrow-derived macrophages. Translocation of this enzyme was accompanied by its phosphorylation on Ser 657 residue. Activation of PKC-alpha was independent of prior stimulation of phosphatidylinositol-dependent or phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase C activities, but required activation of sphingomyelin synthesis. Inhibition of PKC-alpha activation also blocked C1P-stimulated macrophage proliferation indicating that this enzyme is essential for the mitogenic effect of C1P.
