We examined the effect of lidocaine on phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase focal adhesion kinase (PP125FAK) in rat hippocampal slices by immunoblotting with both antiphosphotyrosine and specific anti-PP125FAK antibodies in the presence of tetrodotoxin (1 microM). Lidocaine induced a concentration-related increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of the 125-kDa band corresponding to PP125FAK phosphorylation (EC50 value=0.39+/-0.09 microM, maximal effect=169+/-28% of control, P<0.001). This effect was sensitive to neither the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist dizocilpine (MK 801, 10 microM) nor the inhibitor of the ryanodine receptor dantrolene (30 microM). In contrast, it was completely blocked by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors chelerythrin, bisindolylmaleimide I (GF 109203X) and bisindolylmaleimide IX (RO-318220, 10 microM). We conclude that lidocaine increases phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase PP125FAK in the rat hippocampus by a tetrotoxin (TTX)-insensitive mechanism which involves activation of PKC.
