TL;DR
TCDD did not inhibit EL4 cell growth or affect phorbol ester induced growth inhibition, and failed to stimulate production of interleukin 2.
Abstract
In vivo administration of TCDD produces an increase in the level of Protein Kinase C in the hepatic plasma membrane. We have studied the direct effects of TCDD on cultured EL4 thymoma cells, which contain a large amount of Protein Kinase C and respond to phorbol esters with rapid translocation of the kinase to the membrane, followed by growth inhibition, adherence to substrate and production of interleukin 2. TCDD (10-1000 nM) did not compete with 3H-phorbol dibutyrate for binding to cytosolic Protein Kinase C, and had no effect on Protein Kinase C activity in vitro. TCDD did not stimulate translocation of Protein Kinase C to the membrane, and did not affect phorbol ester-stimulated translocation. TCDD did not inhibit EL4 cell growth or affect phorbol ester induced growth inhibition, and failed to stimulate production of interleukin 2. Thus, TCDD does not appear to activate Protein Kinase C in EL4 cells.

It is indicated that continuous doses of TCDD sufficient to induce severe toxicity increased the incidence of some types of tumors, while reducing other types, and no increase in tumors occurred in those rats receiving sufficient TCDDs to induce slight or no manifestations of toxicity.

It is suggestive that protein kinase C is a phorbol ester-receptive protein, and the results presented seem to provide clues for clarifying the mechanism of tumor promotion.

Results indicate that, in A431 cells exposed to tumor promoters, C-kinase catalyzes phosphorylation of a significant population of EGF receptor molecules, which results in decreased self-phosphorylated EGF receptors both in vivo and in vitro and in decreased EGF-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity in vivo.

Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate stimulates a subline of mouse EL-4 thymoma cells to produce, in vitro, in very high titer, T cell growth factor (Interleukin 2, IL 2), which exhibits the same spectrum of biologic activities as has been reported for spleen cell-derived IL 2.

Findings suggest that hormonal activation of protein kinase C is an intermediate step in the stimulation of pituitary LH secretion by GnRH, and the ability of GnRH to cause rapid translocation of cytosolic protein Kinase C to a membrane-associated form is suggested.

In HRS/J hairless mice, tumour promotion by TCDD elicits the same incidence and multiplicity of skin papillomas as does the classical tumour .promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), but at l/100th the dose.

The data suggest that low levels of TCDD may interact with cytoplasmic receptors for T CDD in the thymus and induce biologically significant immunosuppression through activation of suppressor cells.

Female rats were more susceptible to TCDD actions on liver microsomal PNP glucuronyltransferase than males, and actinomycin D appeared to block the initial phase of induction.
