Phospholipase C (PLC) epsilon is a phosphoinositide-specific PLC regulated by small GTPases including Ras and Rap. We previously demonstrated that PLC epsilon has an important role in the development of phorbol ester-induced skin inflammation. In this study, we investigated the role of PLC epsilon in ultraviolet (UV) B-induced acute inflammatory reactions in the skin. Wild-type (PLC epsilon(+/+)) and PLC epsilon gene knockout (PLC epsilon(-/-)) mice were irradiated with a single dose of UVB at 1, 2.5, and 10 kJ/m(2) on the dorsal area of the skin, and inflammatory reactions in the skin were histologically evaluated up to 168 h after irradiation. In PLC epsilon(+/+) mice, irradiation with 1 and 2.5 kJ/m(2) UVB resulted in dose-dependent neutrophil infiltration in the epidermis at 24 and 48 h after irradiation. When mice were irradiated with 10 kJ/m(2) of UVB, most mice developed skin ulcers by 48 h and these ulcers became more severe at 168 h. In PLC epsilon(-/-) mice, UVB (1 or 2.5 kJ/m(2))-induced neutrophil infiltration was markedly suppressed compared with PLC epsilon(+/+) mice. The suppression of neutrophil infiltration in PLC epsilon(-/-) mice was accompanied by attenuation of UVB-induced production of CXCL1/keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), a potent chemokine for neutrophils, in the whole skin. Cultured epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts produced CXCL1/KC in a PLC epsilon-dependent manner after UVB irradiation, and the UVB-induced upregulation of CXCL1/KC in these cells was significantly abolished by a PLC inhibitor. Furthermore, UVB-induced epidermal thickening was noticeably reduced in the skin of PLC epsilon(-/-) mice. These results indicate that PLC epsilon has a crucial role in UVB-induced acute inflammatory reactions such as neutrophil infiltration and epidermal thickening by at least in part regulating the expression of CXCL1/KC in skin cells such as keratinocytes and fibroblasts.
