Abstract
Our previous studies demonstrated the ability of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta), to stimulate NFkappaB/DNA binding and synthesis of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) in immortalized astrocytes (DITNC). In this study, we examined possible involvement of lipid mediators in the cytokine action. Using [14C]serine to label sphingomyelin and ceramide in these cells, subsequent exposure of cells to cytokines did not result in alteration of sphingomyelin/ceramide ratio. Furthermore, neither exogenous sphingomyelinase nor cell-permeable ceramides could stimulate NFkappaB/DNA binding. On the other hand, C-2 ceramide (0.3 microM) as well as other lipid mediators, such as lysophosphatidylcholine and arachidonic acid, were able to elicit a small increase in sPLA2 and potentiate the induction of sPLA2 by TNF-alpha. When DITNC cells were prelabeled with [32P]Pi, an increase in labeled phosphatidic acid (PA) was observed on treatment of cells with IL-1beta (200 U/mL). However, despite the ability of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to stimulate phospholipase D (PLD) and synthesis of phosphatidylethanol (PEt) in these cells, PLD activity was not affected by IL-1beta. With the [32P]labeled cells, however, PA-phosphohydrolase inhibitors, such as chlorpromazine and propranolol, could elicit large increases in labeled PA, indicating active PA metabolism in these cells. Cytokines also caused an increase in levels of diacylglycerol (DG) in these cells, although the source of this lipid pool is presently not understood. Taken together, these results provide evidence for the participation of PA and DG in cytokine signaling activity. Furthermore, although cytokines did not cause the release of ceramide, lipid mediators, such as lysophospholipids, and AA could modulate cytokine-mediated induction of sPLA2 in astrocytes.

Abstract
Abstract
Receptors for the Fc portion of IgG (FcγRs) integrate the innate and acquired components of immunity by coupling the specific recognition of IgG Abs to the activation of phagocytic leukocytes. Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that regulate phagocyte stimulation by FcγRs may permit therapeutic modulation to augment immunoprotective aspects and minimize damage to host tissues in diverse inflammatory diseases. Since phospholipase D (PLD) has been linked to the stimulation of cytotoxic leukocyte responses, we characterized FcγR-dependent activation of PLD in human macrophages. IgG-coated SRBCs (EIgG) stimulated a 9.4-fold increase in PLD activity compared with SRBCs treated with control Ab (p < 0.001), determined by formation of the PLD-specific product phosphatidylethanol in the presence of 0.5% ethanol. Levels of phosphatidic acid, the physiologic product of PLD-mediated catalyzis, were significantly increased in the absence of ethanol (6.4-fold, p < 0.001). PLD activity was also stimulated by immune complex-coated latex beads or cross-linking of Abs specific for FcγRI, FcγRII, or FcγRIII. Phagocytosis of EIgG was reduced by two inhibitors of PLD-mediated signaling, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate or 1-butanol. Addition of purified PLD restored control levels of phagocytosis in cells in which endogenous PLD was inhibited. The tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein and herbimycin A caused concordant reductions in FcγR-stimulated PLD activity and phagocytosis. These studies demonstrate that FcγR-mediated phagocytosis is accompanied by tyrosine kinase-dependent activation of PLD and support the hypothesis that stimulation of PLD functions to regulate the ingestion of IgG-opsonized particles.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) regulates cytoskeletal-dependent antimicrobial responses of myeloid leukocytes, including phagocytosis and oxidant generation. However, the mechanisms responsible for this association between PLD activity and the actin cytoskeleton are unknown. We utilized a cell-free system from U937 promonocytes to test the hypothesis that stimulation of PLD results in stable association of the activated lipase with the detergent-insoluble membrane skeleton. Plasma membrane and cytosol were incubated +/- guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS), followed by re-isolation and extraction of the washed membranes with octyl glucoside. The detergent-insoluble fraction derived from membranes incubated with GTPgammaS (DIFGTPgammaS) exhibited 22-fold greater PLD activity than that derived from control membranes (DIF0), when both were assayed in the presence of GTPgammaS. The DIF contained PLD1, RhoA, and ARF, and the level of each was increased by GTPgammaS in a dose-dependent manner. The DIF also contained F-actin, vinculin, talin, paxillin, and alpha-actinin, consistent with its identification as the membrane skeleton. The physiologic relevance of these findings was demonstrated by a similar increase in DIF-associated PLD activity after stimulation of intact U937 cells with opsonized zymosan. These results indicate that stimulation of PLD1 is accompanied by stable association of the activated lipase, RhoA, and ADP-ribosylation factor with the actin-based membrane skeleton.

Abstract
The role of small G proteins of the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and Rho families on the activation of phospholipase D (PLD) by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and phorbol esters (PMA) has been investigated. The activation of PLD by PDGF and PMA was blocked by brefeldin A (BFA), an inhibitor of ARF activation, but not by Clostridium botulinum C3 exotoxin, an inhibitor of the activity of Rho. PDGF and PMA, in the presence of GTPgammaS, promoted the association of ARF and RhoA with cell membranes. Cells depleted of ARF and Rho by digitonin permeabilization showed a significant reduction of the activity of phospholipase D. Recombinant ARF was sufficient to restore agonist-induced PLD activity to digitonin-permeabilized, cytoplasm-depleted cells. In contrast, isoprenylated recombinant RhoA had no effects in this reconstitution assay. HIRcB cells were transiently transfected with wild-type and dominant-negative mutants of ARF1 and ARF6. Neither wt-ARF1 nor wt-ARF6 had any effects on agonist-dependent PLD activity. However, dominant-negative ARF1 and ARF6 mutants blocked the stimulation of PLD by PDGF but only partially inhibited the effects of PMA. These results demonstrate that ARF rather than Rho proteins mediate the activation of PLD by PDGF and phorbol esters in HIRcB fibroblasts.

Abstract
To determine the effects of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on phospholipase D (PLD) activity in osteoblast-like UMR-106 cells, we used cells prelabeled with [3H] myristic acid or [3H] arachidonic acid, which were preferentially incorporated to phosphatidylcholine. The treatment of [3H] myristate-labeled cells with TPA in the presence of 1% ethanol caused a dose-dependent formation of [3H] phosphatidylethanol (PEt), a product specific to PLD, suggesting an activation of this enzyme. Pretreatment of the cells with protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors (GF109203X, staurosporine or H-7) abolished the TPA-dependent formation of PEt. The PEt formation in response to TPA treatment was not observed after the pretreatment of the cells with TPA to downregulate PKC. These results suggest the involvement of PKC in the TPA-induced activation of PLD. With [3H] arachidonate-labeled cells, TPA treatment in the absence of ethanol resulted in the liberation of [3H] arachidonic acid, which was gradually converted to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), but the accumulations of [3H] phosphatidic acid (PA) and [3H] diacylglycerol (DAG) were very small and temporary. In contrast, PA was linearly accumulated following TPA treatment, when the cells were pretreated with an inhibitor of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP), propranolol, with no accumulation of either DAG or arachidonic acid. The TPA treatment of the cells pretreated with a DAG lipase inhibitor, RHC-80267, caused the generation of DAG after a lag period of approximately 5 min, with a very small and temporary accumulation of PA. The TPA treatment of cells pretreated with a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, indomethacin, blocked the PGE2 production. The TPA-induced PGE2 production was not affected by the pretreatment of cells with a phospholipase A2 inhibitor, p-bromophenacylbromide, or with a phospholipase C inhibitor, D-609. TPA also stimulated PGE2 production in osteoblastic cells that were enzymatically isolated from adult rat calvaria, and the experiments with lipid metabolizing enzyme inhibitors gave the same profile of inhibition of TPA-induced PGE2 production as was observed in UMR-106 cells. These results suggest that PA formed as a consequence of the activation of PLD by TPA is rapidly converted to arachidonic acid via a PAP/DAG lipase pathway, followed by a gradual conversion of arachidonic acid to PGE2 by COX in both UMR-106 cells and isolated adult osteoblastic cells, and that neither phospholipase A2 nor phospholipase C is involved in the TPA-induced PGE2 production. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that shows that the activation of PKC in osteoblastic cells leads to the production of PGE2 via a PLD/PAP/DAG lipase/COX pathway.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) exerts its stimulatory effects on cell growth and motility by binding to two related protein tyrosine kinase receptors. Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation, allowing binding and activation of cytoplasmic SH2-domain containing signal transduction molecules. Thereby, a number of different signaling pathways are initiated leading to cell growth, actin reorganization migration and differentiation. Recent observations suggest that extensive cross-talk occurs between different signaling pathways, and that stimulatory signals are modulated by inhibitory signals arising in parallel.

Abstract
Our previous studies show that epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates phospholipase D (PLD)-induced phosphatidic acid (PA) formation in rat calvarial osteoblastic cells. This study investigated the effects of PA on cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) and proliferation, and the possible involvement of the PLD pathway in EGF effects on [Ca2+]i and proliferation in rat calvarial osteoblastic cells. PA markedly increased [Ca2+]i. This response was unaffected by thapsigargin, which depletes [Ca2+]i pools, blocked by verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, and enhanced by propanolol, an inhibitor of PA-phosphohydrolase. PA also reduced the EGF dependent-[Ca2+]i increase by 60%, while a PLD inhibitor blocked these effects. Furthermore, PA significantly increased cell proliferation (P < 0.05) which was inhibited by verapamil and enhanced by H-7 (PKC inhibitor). The PLD inhibitor significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the EGF-induced increase in proliferation. In summary, PA stimulates rat calvarial osteoblastic cell proliferation and mobilization of [Ca2+]i using extracellular pools, and EGF's mitogenic effect on these cells requires activation of PLD.

Abstract
The activity of exogenous phosphatidic acid (PA) to transactivate c-fos serum response element (SRE) was investigated by transient transfection analysis. Incubation of Rat-2 fibroblast cells with exogenous PA caused a stimulation of c-fos SRE-linked luciferase activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The SRE stimulation by PA was dramatically reduced by either pre-treatment with mepacrine, an inhibitor of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), or co-transfection with antisense cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) oligonucleotide, whereas lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-induced SRE activation was not affected. Consistent with this specific requirement for PLA2 by PA, the translocation of cPLA2 protein was rapidly induced followed by PA treatment. Together, these results suggest that PLA2, especially cPLA2, plays a critical role in the nuclear signaling cascade of PA in Rat-2 fibroblast cells.

Abstract
The phorbol ester, tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA), stimulates rapid proteolytic processing of the transmembrane, pro- form of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) at cell surfaces, suggesting the involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in the HB-EGF secretion mechanism. To test this possibility, we expressed a chimeric protein, consisting of proHB-EGF fused to placental alkaline phosphatase (AP) near the amino terminus of processed HB-EGF, in NbMC-2 prostate epithelial cells. The proHB-EGF-AP chimera localized to plasma membranes and functioned as a diphtheria toxin receptor. Secreted HB-EGF-AP bound to heparin and exhibited potent growth factor activity. The presence of the AP moiety allowed highly quantitative measurements of cleavage-secretion responses of proHB-EGF to extracellular stimuli. As expected, rapid secretion of HB-EGF-AP was induced in a time- and dose-dependent manner by TPA. However, this was also observed with the Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, suggesting the involvement of extracellular Ca2+ ions in the secretion mechanism. Ionomycin-induced secretion was inhibited by extracellular calcium chelation but not by the PKC inhibitors, GF109203X, staurosporine, or chelerythrine. The TPA-mediated secretion effect was inhibited by staurosporine, GF109203X, and by pretreatment with TPA, but not by calcium chelation. A small secretion response was induced by thapsigargin, which releases Ca2+ from intracellular stores, but this was completely eliminated by extracellular calcium chelation. Ionomycin- and TPA-induced HB-EGF-AP secretion was not dependent on the presence of the proHB-EGF cytoplasmic domain and was specifically inhibited by the metalloproteinase inhibitors 1,10-phenanthroline and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). These data demonstrate that extracellular Ca2+ influx activates a membrane-associated metalloproteinase to process proHB-EGF by a pathway that does not require PKC.

Abstract
The present study provides evidence that growth factor-like glycerophosphate mediators of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) family are present in the aqueous humor and the lacrimal gland fluid of the rabbit eye. By use of a combination of HPLC, two-dimensional TLC, mass spectrometry, and the Xenopus oocyte bioassay, the LPA-like phospholipids LPA, cyclic PA, alkenyl-glycerophosphate (GP), lysophosphatidylserine, and phosphatidic acid were detected as physiological constituents of the fluids bathing the cornea. Corneal injury resulted in an increased production of some of these mediators. Alkenyl-GP, a novel member of the LPA family, has been identified in postinjury aqueous humor, establishing that it is generated endogenously. LPA and its homologues were found to be mitogenic in freshly dissociated keratocytes from uninjured corneas. There appears to be a link between the occurrence of LPA responsiveness in keratocytes activated by injury and the increase in LPA-like activity in aqueous humor. These data suggest that LPA and its homologues are involved in maintaining the integrity of the normal cornea and in promoting cellular regeneration of the injured cornea.

Abstract
The effects of the simple phospholipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on the contractile responsiveness of isolated tracheal rings from rabbits and cats were assessed. In both species, LPA increased the contractile response to the muscarinic agonist methacholine, but LPA did not induce contraction on its own. Conversely, LPA decreased the relaxation response to the beta-adrenergic-agonist isoproterenol in both species. Concentrations of LPA as low as 10(-8) M were effective, and the effects of LPA were rapidly reversed on washing. Phosphatidic acid was much less effective, requiring higher concentrations and producing only a minimal effect. Contractions induced by serotonin and by substance P also were enhanced by LPA, but KCl-induced contractions were unaffected. LPA inhibited the isoproterenol-induced relaxation of KCl-precontracted rings, similar to its effects on methacholine-precontracted rings, and relaxation induced by the direct adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin was inhibited in a manner similar to that induced by isoproterenol. Epithelium removal did not alter the contraction-enhancing effect of LPA. The ability of LPA to both enhance contraction and inhibit relaxation of airway smooth muscle suggests that LPA could contribute to airway hypercontractility in asthma, airway inflammation, or other types of lung injury.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activity in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells is stimulated by phorbol-ester-activated protein kinase C (PKC) and by membrane receptors, the latter apparently acting via the GTP-binding proteins, ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and Rho. In the present study, performed in cell-free preparations, we have characterized and compared the regulation of HEK cell PLD activity by the stable GTP analogue, guanosine 5'-O-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), and the phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). In digitonin-permeabilized HEK cells, prelabeled with [3H]oleic acid, GTP[S] and PMA caused an approximately threefold concentration-dependent increase in the formation of [3H]phosphatidylethanol, measured in the presence of ethanol. Neomycin, which is known to complex with the PLD cofactor, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, decreased basal and GTP[S]- or PMA-stimulated PLD activities with similar sensitivity. GDP and its analogue, guanosine 5'-O-[beta-thio]diphosphate, inhibited the stimulatory effect of GTP[S], whereas the PMA response was prevented by the nonselective PKC inhibitor, staurosporine, but not vice versa. PLD stimulation by GTP[S], but not by PMA, was markedly reduced upon cytosol depletion and reconstituted by purified recombinant ARF1. In HEK cell membranes, addition of purified recombinant ARNO, a guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor for ARF1. potentiated the GTP[S]-stimulated PLD activity. PLD stimulation by PMA in HEK cell membranes required MgATP and was largely prevented by the selective PKC inhibitors Goe 6976 and bisindolylmaleimide I. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that both conventional PKC (alpha, beta, gamma) and atypical PKC isozymes (zeta, tau) were present in HEK cell membranes. The results indicate that phorbol ester stimulation of PLD activity in HEK cells apparently occurs by a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism involving membrane-associated PKC isozymes but not ARF proteins, the major targets of GTP[S]' action.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (LPA)) is a phospholipid with diverse biological activities. The mediator serves as an intermediate in membrane phospholipid metabolism but is also produced in acute settings by activated platelets. LPA is converted to phosphatidic acid, itself a lipid mediator, by an LPA acyltransferase (LPAAT). A human expressed sequence tag was identified by homology with a coconut LPAAT and used to isolate a full-length human cDNA from a heart muscle library. The predicted amino acid sequence bears 33% identity with a Caenorhabditis elegans LPAAT homologue and 23-28% identity with plant and prokaryotic LPAATs. Recombinant protein produced in COS 7 cells exhibited LPAAT activity with a preference for LPA as the acceptor phosphoglycerol and arachidonyl coenzyme A as the acyl donor. Northern blotting demonstrated that the mRNA is expressed in most human tissues including a panel of brain subregions; expression is highest in liver and pancreas and lowest in placenta. The human LPAAT gene is contained on six exons that map to chromosome 9, region q34.3.

Abstract
Middle T (mT), the oncogene of murine polyomavirus, causes transformation of rat fibroblasts by activating a number of signal transducing pathways usually used by polypeptide growth factors and their receptors. Here, we report data regarding the activation of signal transducing pathways involving phospholipase D (PL-D). The hydrolysis of phospholipids by PL-D produces phosphatidic acid (PA), a compound with multiple biological effects. The PA content of cells expressing wild-type mT, introduced via a number of different methods, is approximately 50% higher than their untransformed counterparts. This increase in cellular PA content is associated with an approximately 65% increase in PL-D activity in cells expressing wild-type mT. We have also examined the effects of a number of site-directed mutants of mT, on both cellular PA levels and on PL-D activity. Mutants that do not produce mT (Py808A) or that produce a truncated, nonmembrane bound mT (Py1387T) have PA levels similar to that of control cells. Cells expressing the 322YF mutant of mT (which abolishes interaction of mT with phospholipase C gamma1) show increases in both PA levels and PL-D activity that are similar to those seen with wild-type mT. Expression of mutants that abolish the interaction of mT with either shc or with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (250YS and 315YF, respectively) cause an increase in PL-D activity comparable to that seen with wild-type mT. However, the PA content of cells expressing these mutants is not elevated. These results suggest that mT causes activation of cellular PL-D, but this activation alone is not sufficient to cause an increase in cellular PA content. Therefore, wild-type mT must affect another, as yet unknown, step in PA metabolism.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a simple phospholipid that can be released from thrombin-activated platelets and growth factor-activated fibroblasts. The effects of this lipid signaling molecule on membrane currents of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells were investigated using whole cell recording techniques. Bath application of LPA evoked an inward current that was sometimes preceded by an outward current. The inward current reversed near 0 mV regardless of Cl- equilibrium potential and was suppressed by lowering extracellular [Na+] or application of Cd2+ (3 mM) suggesting that it is a non-selective cation current. The outward current reversed near the K+ equilibrium potential (EK) suggesting it is carried predominantly by K+ ions. The effects of LPA appear to be mediated by a receptor rather than non-specific detergent effects since: (a) both currents showed a similar saturating concentration/response relationship; (b) lysophosphatidylcholine, which has the same lipid tail as LPA, was significantly less effective than LPA in evoking inward currents; (c) LPA-evoked currents diminished with repeated applications of LPA suggesting receptor desensitization or washout of second messenger systems during whole cell recording; and (d) pertussis and cholera toxin pre-treatment suppressed the inward current, although not the outward current. Bath application of a calcium ionophore, ionomycin, stimulated an outward current which, like the LPA-sensitive current, reversed near EK. The results suggest that LPA stimulates one or more receptor subtypes which can associate with both a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein resulting in generation of an inward cation current and a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein resulting in generation of an outward current carried predominantly by K+.

Abstract
PURPOSE Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) can arise from an exaggerated wound-healing response by retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a simple phospholipid, which is secreted by cells, activates G protein-coupled receptors, and appears to contribute to wound healing in other tissues. The present study examined the effects of LPA on three aspects of the behavior of cultured human RPE cells that are important in the pathogenesis of PVR: proliferation, chemotaxis, and contraction. METHODS Human RPE cells were harvested from donor eyes and cultured using standard culture techniques. Proliferation was assessed by counting cells, cell migration with a modified Boyden chamber, and contraction by seeding RPE cells in a collagen cell. RESULTS LPA (10 microM) induced RPE cell proliferation and weak chemotaxis, but no gel contraction. RPE cell proliferation increased in a dose-dependent manner from 0.1-100 microM LPA. Consistent with LPA actions at a receptor, an LPA analogue, lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), was much less effective than LPA in stimulating proliferation and the proliferative response was blocked by pertussis or cholera toxin. Phosphatidic acid (PA) induced a similar proliferative response as LPA. CONCLUSION These suggest that LPA can potently stimulate RPE cell proliferation via activation of a G-protein coupled receptor. LPA, which can be released by thrombin-activated platelets and growth factor-activated fibroblasts, might, therefore, play a role in the development of PVR.

Abstract
Small GTPases are molecular switches that control signaling pathways critical for diverse cellular functions. Recent evidence indicates that multiple effector molecules can be activated by small GTPases. As a result, complex biological processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis are turned on. Thus, rather than a single linear pathway from the membrane to the nucleus, the integration of complementary signals is required for these events to occur. In fact, the coordinated activation of small GTPases may constitute some of the critical modulators of those signals triggering either proliferation or cell death. In addition to the activation of specific kinases cascades, phospholipid-derived messengers are candidates to compose some of the most critical elements associated to regulation of signaling cascades capable of discerning among life and death. Both proliferation and apoptosis needs competence and progression signals. Phospholipase D and sphingomyelinase may be important players in this decision-maker step.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol can function as a second messenger, and one mechanism for the attenuation of this signal is its conversion to phosphatidic acid, which is catalyzed by diacylglycerol kinase (DGK). We screened a cDNA library from human skeletal muscle and isolated two DGKzeta cDNAs that differed from the 3.5-kb clone originally identified in endothelial cells. One transcript, which was 3.4 kb long, was shown to be nonfunctional; it had a 77-bp deletion that included the translation initiation site. The other was 4.1 kb long with a unique 5' sequence of 853 bp. We also isolated a genomic clone of DGKzeta and determined its organization and location; it contains 32 exons, spans approximately 50 kb of genomic sequence, and maps to chromosome 11p11.2. The protein encoded by the 4.1-kb transcript contains two cysteine-rich regions, a catalytic domain, and ankyrin repeats like the endothelial form of DGKzeta, as well as a unique N-terminal domain. The coding sequence was shown to be derived from alternative splicing of the DGKzeta gene. In cells transfected with the 4.1-kb clone, we detected a 130-kDa protein with an antibody to DGKzeta and demonstrated that it was localized predominantly in the nucleus. We conclude that alternative splicing generates tissue-specific variants of DGKzeta that share some properties but may have unique ones as well.

Abstract
The role of phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis in activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was studied in Rat-1 fibroblasts. PDGF induced the transient formation of phosphatidic acid, choline, diacylglycerol (DG), and phosphocholine, the respective products of phospholipase D (PLD) and phospholipase C (PC-PLC) activity, with peak levels at 5-10 min. PLD-catalyzed transphosphatidylation (with n-butyl alcohol) diminished DG formation at 5 min but not at later stages of PDGF stimulation. Phorbol ester-induced down-regulation of protein kinase C (PKC) completely blocked PLD activation but not the formation of DG and phosphocholine at 10 min of PDGF stimulation. Collectively, these data indicate that PDGF activates both PLD and PC-PLC. In contrast, epidermal growth factor did not activate PC-PLC in these cells, and it activated PLD only weakly. DG formation by itself, through Bacillus cereus PC-PLC treatment of cells, was sufficient to mimic PDGF in activation of MAPK independent of phorbol ester-sensitive PKC. Since PKC down-regulation blocked PDGF-induced PLD but not MAPK activation, we conclude that PLD is not involved in MAPK signaling. In contrast, MAPK activation by exogenous (bacterial) PLD was not affected by PKC down-regulation, indicating that signals evoked by exogenous PLD differ from endogenous PLD. D609 (2-10 microg/ml), an inhibitor of PC-PLC, blocked PDGF- but not epidermal growth factor-induced MAPK activation. However, D609 should be used with caution since it also affects PLD activity. The results suggest that PC-PLC rather than PLD plays a critical role in the PDGF-activated MAPK pathway.

Abstract
In rat thymic lymphocytes, accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA) occurs at the same time as decrease in cAMP levels and activation of a cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) [type 4, EC 3.1.4.17 (PDE4)]. We investigated the nature of the PDE activated by PA and the mechanism of activation by using recombinant cAMP-specific PDE4 isoforms derived from three different genes (PDE4A, PDE4B, and PDE4D). The "long" variants expressed from each gene (PDE4A5, PDE4B1, and PDE4D3) were activated by PA, whereas the "short" variants (PDE4A1, PDE4B2, PDE4D1, and PDE4D2) were not. Phosphatidylserine was an activator that was as effective as PA, whereas phosphatidylcholine was ineffective, indicating that activation was restricted to anionic phospholipids. PA caused an increase in the Vmax value of PDE4D3 without affecting the Km value of the enzyme for the cAMP substrate. PA also caused a change in the Mg2+ requirement for hydrolysis. Half-maximal stimulation of the PDE was obtained with approximately 10 microg/ml PA. Although protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation of PDE4D3 produces effects similar to those elicited by PA, the mechanism of PA-induced activation was not found to involve a phosphorylation. Instead, several observations suggest that PA may directly interact with the enzyme. The stimulation of cAMP PDEs by PA and other acidic phospholipids may be a mechanism by which growth factors and hormones modulate the cAMP-dependent signal transduction pathway during cell stimulation.

Abstract
We examined the effects of thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) and thrombospondin-2 (TSP2) on the uptake of tritiated thymidine by bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells in response to two growth factors, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). bFGF and LPA stimulate cell proliferation through distinct receptors that have convergent signaling pathways. The doses of LPA that trigger proliferation of BAE cells, which have not been reported previously, were 1 to 30 micromol/L, as opposed to the 5 to 100 micromol/L concentrations required to stimulate proliferation of human foreskin fibroblasts. Baseline mitogenic activity and activity stimulated by either bFGF or LPA on BAE cells was inhibited by human TSP1 purified from platelets or a recombinant source with a similar dose response. These results demonstrate that the anti-proliferative effect of platelet TSP1 is not caused by contaminants from the stimulated platelet. Recombinant mouse TSP2 inhibited BAE cell proliferation in response to LPA in a dose range similar to that of TSP1. Inasmuch as TSP2 does not activate latent TGFbeta1 (Schultz-Cherry et al., J Biol Chem 1995;270: 7304), these results show that inhibition of angiogenesis by TSPs is not related to control of activation of TGFbeta. Together, these studies suggest that structural motifs common to TSP1 and TSP2 inhibit endothelial cell proliferation. Furthermore, TSPs inhibit cell proliferation stimulated by two growth factor receptors that act through distinct signaling pathways.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is a potent second messenger arising from growth factor-induced stimulation of phospholipase D which hydrolyses phosphatidylcholine. PA is hydrolysed to diacylglycerol by PA phosphohydrolase (PAP) which exists in two forms: PAP-1 and PAP-2. In rat hepatocyte cultures, overnight (20h) incubation with transforming growth factor (TGF) beta (1 ng/ml) increased PAP-1 activity two-fold. This effect was concentration and time dependent and was greatest at low cell density. The TGFbeta effect on PAP-1 was additive to stimulation induced by dexamethasone but not by glucagon and it reversed the inhibition by insulin. Epidermal growth factor had no effect on PAP-1 activity. None of the above hormones or growth factors affected the subcellular distribution of PAP-1. Stimulation of PAP-1 by TGFbeta may be involved in mediating some of its biological effects.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) utilizes a heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide regulatory (G) protein-coupled receptor to activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and induce mitogenesis in fibroblasts and other cells. A single cell assay system was used to examine the functional interaction of the LPA receptor with G proteins in intact mouse fibroblasts, by measuring LPA-stimulated induction of the immediate-early gene, c-fos, as read out by a stably expressed fos-lacZ reporter gene. Pretreatment of these cells with pertussis toxin at 100 ng/ml almost completely abolished LPA-stimulated c-fos induction. Western blotting revealed that two pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G proteins, G alpha i2 and G alpha i3, were present in membranes prepared from these cells, and Northern blotting confirmed the absence of message for other PTX-sensitive subunits. Microinjection of an alpha il/alpha i2-specific antibody into living cells decreased LPA-stimulated induction of c-fos by 60%, whereas introduction of antibodies to either alpha i3 or alpha 16, a subtype not present in these cells but used as a control, decreased LPA-stimulated c-fos induction by only 19%. In contrast, the alpha i1/alpha i2-specific antibody had no effect on insulin-induced c-fos expression, which is thought to utilize a G protein-independent mechanism of signaling. In addition, cellular expression of an epitope-tagged PTX-resistant mutant of G alpha i2, but not PTX-resistant G alpha i3, restored LPA-stimulated c-fos induction in cells in which endogenous G protein a subunits were uncoupled from the receptor by pretreatment with PTX. Together, these results provide conclusive in vivo evidence that G alpha i2 is the PTX-sensitive G protein a subunit which mediates LPA-stimulated c-fos induction and perhaps mitogenesis in these cells.

Abstract
The activation of phospholipase D (PLD) in response to cell stimulation by extracellular signal molecules is a widespread phenomenon. A variety of extracellular signal molecules cause a rapid and dramatic stimulation of PLD activity. G proteins and protein kinases appear to be involved in the receptor-mediated regulation of PLD. There is indirect evidence for the existence of multiple PLD subtypes, both membrane-associated and cytosolic. Recent studies indicate that PLD activities require a lipid cofactor, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Addition of PIP2 at physiological concentrations stimulates both membrane-associated and partially purified PLD activity. Other acidic phospholipids have little or no effect. Neomycin, a high affinity ligand of PIP2, inhibits membrane PLD activity, presumably by binding to endogenous PIP2. A monoclonal antibody to phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase inhibits PIP2 synthesis in permeabilized U937 cells and blocks PLD activation by GTP gamma S and TPA. These results indicate that PIP2 synthesis is required for G protein- and protein kinase C-mediated activation of PLD in the cells. Recent evidence has implicated PLD and phosphoinositide kinases in vesicular trafficking. The main lipid mediator produced by PLD, phosphatidic acid, could regulate membrane traffic events by direct regulation of target proteins involved in vesicle targeting, docking and fusion. In addition, under certain circumstances, the formation of phosphatidic acid may lead to changes in lipid bilayer properties that would facilitate vesicle budding and fusion events in the course of intracellular membrane traffic.

Abstract
Activation of phospholipase D (PLD) represents part of an important signalling pathway in mammalian cells. Phospholipase D catalyzed hydrolysis of phospholipids generates phosphatidic acid (PA) which is subsequently metabolized to lyso-PA (LPA) or diacylglycerol (DAG). While DAG is an endogenous activator of protein kinase C (PKC), PA and LPA have been recognized as second messengers as well. Activation of PLD in response to an external stimulus may involve PKC, Ca2+, G-proteins and/or tyrosine kinases. In this review, we will address the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in growth factor-, agonist- and oxidant-mediated activation of PLD. Furthermore, a possible link between PKC, Ca2+, G-proteins and tyrosine kinases is discussed to indicate the complexity involved in the regulation of PLD in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Under physiological conditions, phosphatidic acid (PA) is an anionic phospholipid with moderate biological reactivity. Some of its biological effects can be attributed to lyso-PA and diacylglycerol generated by the action of cellular hydrolases. However, it is clear that the parent compound exhibits biological activities of its own. Early studies implicated PA in the transport of Ca++ across plasma membranes as well as in the mobilization of intracellular stored calcium. Both responses may be induced as a consequence of other cellular processes activated by PA, as opposed to being directly mediated by the lipid. PA may be involved in the activation of certain functions confined to specialized groupings of cells, such as the neutrophil superoxide-generating enzyme or actin polymerization. Recent studies implicate PA as an activator of intracellular protein kinases, and a PA-dependent superfamily of kinases involved in cellular signalling has been hypothesized. Deployed on the outer surface of the plasma membrane, PA potentially provides a method of communication between cells in direct contact. This review will explore the known functions of PA as an intracellular mediator and extracellular messenger of biological activities and address ways in which these functions are potentially regulated by cellular enzymes which hydrolyse the phospholipid.

Abstract
In nearly all mammalian cells and tissues examined, protein kinase C (PKC) has been shown to serve as a major regulator of a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PLD) activity. At least 12 distinct isoforms of PKC have been described so far; of these enzymes only the alpha- and beta-isoforms were found to regulate PLD activity. While the mechanism of this regulation has remained unknown, available evidence suggests that both phosphorylating and non-phosphorylating mechanisms may be involved. A phosphatidylcholine-specific PLD activity was recently purified from pig lung, but its possible regulation by PKC has not been reported yet. Several cell types and tissues appear to express additional forms of PLD which can hydrolyze either phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylinositol. It has also been reported that at least one form of PLD can be activated by oncogenes, but not by PKC activators. Similar to activated PKC, some of the primary and secondary products of PLD-mediated phospholipid hydrolysis, including phosphatidic acid, 1,2-diacylglycerol, choline phosphate and ethanolamine, also exhibit mitogenic/co-mitogenic effects in cultured cells. Furthermore, both the PLD and PKC systems have been implicated in the regulation of vesicle transport and exocytosis. Recently the PLD enzyme has been cloned and the tools of molecular biology to study its biological roles will soon be available. Using specific inhibitors of growth regulating signals and vesicle transport, so far no convincing evidence has been reported to support the role of PLD in the mediation of any of the above cellular effects of activated PKC.

Abstract
Neutrophils play a major role host defense against invading microbes. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of the phospholipase D (PLD) in the signalling cascade leading to neutrophil activation. Phospholipase D catalyzes the hydrolysis of phospholipids to generate phosphatidic acid with secondarily generation of diradylglycerol; both of these products have been implicated as second messengers. Herein, we discuss the regulation and the biochemistry of the receptor-regulated PLD in human neutrophils. In vivo and in vitro studies suggest an activation mode in which initial receptor-linked activation of phospholipase C generates diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate. The resulting calcium flux along with the diacylglycerol activate a conventional isoform of protein kinase C (PKC), probably PKC beta 1. This PKC, in turn phosphorylates a plasma membrane component resulting in PLD activation and a second outpouring of diradylglycerol. The small GTP-binding proteins, RhoA and ARF, also participate in this process, and synergize with a 50 kDa cytosolic regulatory factor.

Abstract
Proliferation of T lymphocytes is triggered by the interaction of interleukin 2 (IL-2) with its high affinity specific receptor that is expressed on the cell surface following T lymphocyte activation. Significant advances have recently been made in identifying the multiple signals that follow IL-2 receptor occupancy, although the exact mechanism responsible for IL-2-induced proliferation remains an enigma. It has been shown previously that unique species of phosphatidic acid are rapidly produced in vivo following IL-2 binding. It was then suggested that, in contrast to other eukaryotic growth factor systems, phosphatidic acid was at least in part generated through IL-2-induced diacylglycerol (DG) kinase activation. In the present study we demonstrate IL-2-dependent activation of the alpha isoform of DG kinase. Confocal microscopy studies reveal that the enzyme is located in the cytosol and nuclei of resting T cells. Interleukin 2 stimulation induces translocation of the enzyme to the perinuclear region. Furthermore, our results indicate that inhibition of the alpha isoform of DG kinase has a profound effect on IL-2-induced T cell growth. Studies on cell cycle distribution demonstrate that the inhibition of IL-2-induced phosphatidic acid production induces arrest in late G1 phase of IL-2 dependent cells. Altogether, these results link previous observations of interleukin 2 and phosphatidic acid production to activation of an specific isoform of DG kinase and suggest that activation of this enzyme is part of a novel signaling cascade that utilizes phosphatidic acid as an effector molecule.

Abstract
Increases in intracellular phosphatidic acid levels caused by receptor- mediated activation of phospholipase D (PLD) have been implicated in many signal transduction pathways leading to cellular activation. PLD is known to be regulated by several means, including tyrosine kinase activity, increases in Ca2+, receptor-coupled G proteins, small GTP binding proteins, ceramide metabolisms, and protein kinase C. We have investigated a additional regulatory effect on PLD activity involving nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs). A NTP binding protein copurifies with LPD activity from rabbit brains using a GTP-agarose affinity column, and this protein stimulates PLD activity only in the absence of NPTs. The NTP effect is reversible and labile, and the binding protein is separable from the PLD activity by heparin-agarose chromatography. We identified this protein as the actin- binding protein gelsolin by amino acid sequencing following peptide mapping. This finding was verified by the co-immunoprecipitation of gelsolin and PLD activity as well as by the reconstitution of gelsolin- dependent nucleotide sensitive PLD activity by the addition of purified gelsolin-free PLD. Our data indicate that actin rearrangements and PLD signaling are coordinately regulated through the physical association between PLD and gelsolin and that this interaction may also serve to amplify both PLD signaling and actin reorganization.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that the cysteine-rich amino-terminal domain of Raf-1 kinase interacts selectively with phosphatidylserine (Ghosh, S., Xie, W. Q., Quest, A. F. G., Mabrouk, G. M., Strum, J. C., and Bell, R. M. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 10000-10007). Further analysis showed that full-length Raf-1 bound to both phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid (PA). Specifically, a carboxyl-terminal domain of Raf-1 kinase (RafC; residues 295 648 of human Raf-1) interacted strongly with phosphatidic acid. The binding of RafC to PA displayed positive cooperativity with Hill numbers between 3.3 and 6.2; the apparent Kd ranged from 4.9 +/- 0.6 to 7.8 +/- 0.9 mol % PA. The interaction of RafC with PA displayed a pH dependence distinct from the interaction between the cysteine-rich domain of Raf-1 and PA. Also, the RafC-PA interaction was unaffected at high ionic strength. Of all the lipids tested, only PA and cardiolipin exhibited high affinity binding; other acidic lipids were either ineffective or weakly effective. By deletion mutagenesis, the PA binding site within RafC was narrowed down to a 35-amino acid segment between residues 389 and 423. RafC did not bind phosphatidyl alcohols; also, inhibition of PA formation in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells by treatment with 1% ethanol significantly reduced the translocation of Raf-1 from the cytosol to the membrane following stimulation with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. These results suggest a potential role of the lipid second messenger, PA, in the regulation of translocation and subsequent activation of Raf-1 in vivo.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is a putative novel messenger in signal transduction and membrane traffic. We have synthesized a photolyzable derivative of PA, termed caged PA (cPA), which may be utilized as a new tool in studies of PA-mediated cellular events. 1-(2-Nitrophenyl)diazoethane, synthesized from 2-nitroacetophenone, was reacted with dipalmitoyl-PA to yield a 1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl ester of PA. Photolysis of the compound by ultraviolet light resulted in the formation of phosphatidic acid. The structure of the compound and of its photolytic products was verified by NMR spectroscopy. The utility of cPA was examined in HT 1080 metastatic fibrosarcoma cells, in which the formation of PA by phospholipase D was implicated in laminin-induced release of gelatinase A (matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2)). The uptake of cPA by HT 1080 cells reached a plateau after 120 min of incubation. Ultraviolet illumination of cPA-loaded cells for 5 s resulted in photolysis of 1.8% of the cell-incorporated cPA. The photolysis of cPA caused a 2-fold elevation in the release of MMP-2 to the medium, whereas nonphotolyzed cPA caused no change in MMP-2 release. Moreover, the effect of cPA photolysis was significantly higher than that obtained with extracellularly introduced PA. Thus, the effect of laminin on MMP-2 secretion can be mimicked by photolysis of cPA, suggesting a pivotal role for phospholipase D in laminin-induced cancer cell invasiveness and metastasis. These results indicate that cPA could serve as a unique tool for studying the cellular roles of PA.

Abstract
We conformed that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which is known to be released from activated platelets, sensitizes response in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) to mechanical stimulation in cultured epithelial cells (REPF-LC-AI cells) from human lung carcinoma. [Ca2+]i was transiently increased by spritzing of bath solution onto cells as mechanical stimulation in the presence of LPA with concentration-dependent manner (10-100 nM). The transient increase induced by the mechanical stimulation in the presence of LPA was inhibited by 10 microM Ga3+ or removing extracellular Ca2+, but not by 10 microM nicaridipine, suggesting that LPA sensitizes mechanical stimulation-induced Ca2+ influx through stretch-activated ion channels. Phosphatidic acid (1 microM), but not lysophosphatidycholine (10 microM), histamine (100 nM), bradykinin (10 nM), nor ionomycin (100 nM), caused the same effect as that of LPA. This effect was observed in confluent cells, but not in subconfluent cells. These results show that LPA sensitizes mechanoreceptor-linked response in human lung epithelial cells, suggesting a possibility that LPA affects lung function, in particular, during pathological state.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at defining the chemotactic activity of phosphatidic acid, which is rapidly produced by phagocytes in response to chemotactic agonists. Exogenously added phosphatidic acid induced human monocyte directional migration across polycarbonate filters with an efficacy (number of cell migrated) comparable to that of "classical" chemotactic factors. In lipid specificity studies, activity of phosphatidic acid decreased with increasing acyl chain length but was restored by introducing unsaturation in the acyl chain with the most active form being the natural occurring 18:0,20:4-phosphatidic acid. Lysophosphatidic acid was also active in inducing monocyte migration. No other phospholipid and lysophospholipid tested was effective in this response. Monocyte migration was regulated by a gradient of phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid bound to the polycarbonate filter, in the absence of detectable soluble chemoattractant. Migration was also observed if phospholipids were bound to fibronectin-coated polycarbonate filters. Thus, phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid, similarly to other physiological chemoattractants (e.g. C5a and interleukin-8), induce cell migration by an haptotactic mechanism. Phosphatidic acid caused a rapid increase of filamentous actin and, at higher concentrations, induced a rise of intracellular calcium concentration. Monocyte migration to phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid, but not to diacylglycerol, was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by Bordetella pertussis toxin, while cholera toxin was ineffective. In the chemotactic assay, phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid induced a complete homologous desensitization and only partially cross-desensitized one with each other, or with diacyl-glycerol and monocyte chemotactic protein-1. Suramine inhibited monocyte chemotaxis with a different efficiency phosphatidic acid > lysophosphatidic acid" diacyl-glycerol On the contrary, monocyte chemotactic protein-1-induced chemotaxis was not affected by the drug. Collectively, these data show that phosphatidic acid induces haptotactic migration of monocytes that is at least in part receptor-mediated. These results support a role for phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid in the regulation of leukocyte accumulation into tissues.

Abstract
Sphingosine is a product of sphingolipid metabolism that has been linked to a protein kinase C-independent mitogenic response. In previously published data, utilizing an in vitro model system for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced vascular smooth muscle proliferation, we have demonstrated that sphingosine is increased at the expense of a concomitant decrease in ceramide formation, implicating an altered ceramidase activity. To explore mechanisms of growth factor-stimulated sphingosine formation, we have developed and investigated a cell-free model system assessing ceramidase activity. We now report that an alkaline, membrane-associated, ceramidase activity in the rat glomerular mesangial cell, a smooth muscle-like pericyte, is up-regulated by growth factors, apparently via a tyrosine kinase phosphorylation mechanism. PDGF also stimulated sphingomyelinase activity which generates sufficient substrate to drive the subsequent ceramidase reaction. Inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, stimulated sphingomyelinase but not ceramidase activity, a result consistent with the cellular accumulation of the ceramide, apoptidic, differentiating second messenger. Mitogenic vasoconstrictor peptides such as endothelin-1 stimulated neither sphingomyelinase nor ceramidase activities. An inhibitor of ceramidase activity, N-oleoylethanolamine, reduced PDGF- but not endothelin-1-stimulated proliferation. Thus, we conclude that, in mesangial cells, growth factors but not vasoconstrictor peptides or cytokines induce mitogenesis, in part, through ceramidase-mediated sphingosine formation.

Abstract
The tumor promoter phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and hormonal activators of protein kinase C (PKC) commonly stimulate phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated formation of phosphatidic acid from phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) in fibroblasts and other cell types. On the basis that phosphatidic acid is a mitogen, PLD is often considered to have a major role in the regulation of cell growth by PKC activators. However, we found that in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), strongly inhibited DNA synthesis induced by 100 nM PMA, while it actually enhanced PMA-stimulated PtdCho hydrolysis. These results indicate that stimulation of PLD activity is either not required or not sufficient for the mitogenic action of PMA.

Abstract
Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells stably expressing the human m3 subtype leads to stimulation of both phospholipase C (PLC) and D (PLD). mAChR-stimulated PLD was turned off after 2 min of receptor activation with either the full (carbachol) or partial agonist (pilocarpine) and remained completely suppressed for at least 4 h. Partial recovery was observed 24 h after agonist removal. This rapid arrest of PLD response was not due to a loss of cell surface receptors and was also not caused by negative feedback due to concomitant activation of protein kinase C, tyrosine phosphorylation, increase in cytosolic calcium, or activation of Gi proteins. Furthermore, PLD stimulation by directly activated protein kinase C and GTP-binding proteins was unaltered in carbachol-pretreated cells. Finally, neither prevention of PLD stimulation during carbachol pretreatment by genistein nor inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide, added before or after carbachol challenge, resulted in recovery of mAChR-stimulated PLD. The short term carbachol pretreatment nearly completely abolished agonist-induced binding of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) to membranes or permeabilized adherent cells. Full recovery of this response was achieved after 4 h. Similar to transfected m3 mAChR, PLD stimulation by endogenously expressed purinergic receptors was also fully blunted after 2 min of agonist (ATP) treatment. Preexposure of HEK cells to either receptor agonist partially, but not completely, reduced PLD stimulation by the other agonist. In contrast to desensitization of PLD stimulation, 2 min of carbachol treatment led to a sensitization, by up to 2-fold, of mAChR-stimulated inositol phosphate formation. This supersensitivity was also observed with pilocarpine, which acted as a full agonist on PLC. On the basis of these results, we conclude that the m3 mAChR stimulates PLD and PLC in HEK cells with distinct efficiencies and with very distinct durations of each response. The rapid and long lasting desensitization of the PLD response is apparently not due to a loss of cell surface receptors or PLD activation by GTP-binding proteins, but it may involve, at least initially, an uncoupling of receptors from GTP-binding proteins and most likely a loss of an as yet undefined essential transducing component.

Abstract
PHYLPA, a unique Physarum lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), showed selective inhibition of a family of DNA polymerase alpha, including DNA polymerases alpha, delta and epsilon; but no inhibition of DNA polymerase beta or gamma was observed. To reveal the molecular mechanism of inhibition of DNA polymerases by PHYLPA, four stereoisomers and some other derivatives were synthesized and their effects on DNA polymerases were studied. Among eight derivatives synthesized, PHYLPA-1 (the natural PHYLPA; sodium 1-O-[(9'S,10'R)-9',10'-methanohexadecanoyl]-sn-glycerol 2,3-cyclic phosphate) and PHYLPA-2 (sodium 3-O-[9'S,10'R)-9',10'-methanohexadecanoyl]-sn-glycerol 1,2-cyclic phosphate) were strong and specific inhibitors of a family of DNA polymerase alpha. But their stereoisomers PHYLPA-3 (sodium 1-O-[9'R,10'S)-9',10'-methanohexadecanoyl]-sn-glycerol 2,3-cyclic phosphate) and PHYLPA-4 (sodium 3-O-[9'R,10'S)-9',10'-methanohexadecanoyl-sn-glycerol 1,2 cyclic phosphate) were weak inhibitors, showing the critical importance of stereochemistry of a cyclopropane-containing fatty acid for the inhibitory activity. Some derivatives having no cyclopropane-containing fatty acids--palmitoyl-, oleoyl-, and palmitoleoyl-PHYLPA--showed inhibition to some extent; but 1-palmytoyl and 1-oleoyl lysophosphatidic acid, which has no cyclic phosphate, did not show an apparent inhibitor activity on DNA polymerases. Hence, the extent of the inhibition apparently depends on the stereochemistry of both the fatty acid moiety and the cyclic phosphate.

Abstract
Primary astrocytic cultures derived from day-15 chick embryo (E15) cerebral hemispheres (CH) or cerebellum (CB) express a calcium/phospholipid-dependent isoform as the major protein kinase C (PKC-alpha/beta). PKC was activated (translocation of activity from cytosol to membrane) following stimulation with carbachol, so we tested for activation of phospholipase C (PLC) as the source of diacylglycerol released from polyphosphoinositide (PIP2) hydrolysis. Carbachol activated PLC (inositol phosphate release) 4-fold in a time- and dose-dependent manner in cortical (CH) astrocytes, but there was no activation of PLC in astrocytes from cerebellum (CB). Pirenzepine, but not gallamine, attenuated both carbachol-induced PKC translocation and PIP2 hydrolysis in E15CH astrocytes, arguing for contribution of M1 subtype. The phorbol ester TPA completely inhibited PIP2 hydrolysis, both basal and carbachol-stimulated, and elicited a stronger, but shorter (10 min) activation of PKC than that observed with carbachol. We investigated phospholipase D (PLD) activation as an alternate source of diacylglycerol in astrocytes, since the ratio of PLC to PKC activation by carbachol was lower in astrocytes than observed in neurons. We observed a dramatic (10-fold) time- and dose-dependent activation of PLD by TPA in CH and a 3-fold increase in CB. The duration of TPA-dependent PLD activation correlated well with increased cell proliferation and changes in astrocytic phenotype markers. Carbachol-stimulated PLD activation was observed in CH but not in CB astrocytes, being mostly dependent on the M3 receptor subtype in the former. In contrast, glutamate elicited a greater PLD activation in CB astrocytes, than in CH astrocytes. TPA activation of PLD was totally blocked by staurosporine (PKC inhibitor) and genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in cerebellar (CB) astrocytes; however, total inhibition of TPA-dependent PLD activation was only achieved in cortical (CH) astrocytes after addition of EGTA. Thapsigargin activated PLD in both populations, further emphasizing the PLD activation dependency on [Ca2+]i. Taken together with our previous observations that TPA induces proliferation, cytoskeleton changes, and decreases of glutamine synthetase activity, these data suggest that phospholipase D is a differential but important participant in the regulation of the signalling of mitosis and differentiation in astrocytes during their development.

Abstract
We have shown previously that phosphatidic acid esterified to polyunsaturated fatty acids is mitogenic for primary cultures of mouse mammary epithelial cells embedded within collagen gels. We hypothesized that this mitogenic competence resulted from the ability of this phospholipid to activate multiple signal transduction pathways in mammary epithelium. A closer examination of this hypothesis was undertaken by examining the effect of exogenous phosphatidic acid on phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis and its intracellular metabolism to diglyceride, an activator of protein kinase C. For assays of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activation, mammary epithelial cells from virgin Balb/c mice were isolated by collagenase dissociation of mammary glands and cultured on the surface of Type I collagen-coated culture dishes. Phosphatidic acid (PA) stimulated a sustained increase in inositol phosphates and caused inositol phospholipid depletion when added to cells in which inositol phospholipids were prelabeled with 3H-myoinositol. This effect was specific for PA among phospholipids tested. Neither lineoleic acid, that can be released from PA, nor prostaglandin E2 affected PI hydrolysis. When mammary epithelial cells were cultured inside collagen gels in the presence of exogenous PA or phosphatidylcholine (PC) radiolabeled with 3H-glycerol, PA was found to persist intracellularly and be dephosphorylated to diglyceride (an activator of protein kinase C) to a greater extent than PC, a nonmitogenic phospholipid. In contrast to PA, epidermal growth factor (EGF) only slightly stimulated PI hydrolysis, showing that these two different growth-promoting factors do not actively couple to the same signal transduction pathways in mammary epithelial cells. These results show that PA may activate multiple pathways in mammary epithelial cells either directly or via its metabolism to diglyceride.

Abstract
1. We show here that angiotensin II (AII) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) stimulate [3H]-thymidine incorporation in a smooth muscle cell line derived from aortae of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), but not in cells derived from normotensive controls (WKY). We have used the differential response of the two cell lines to investigate the relationship between second messenger systems and the mitogenic response. 2. AII produced an increase in accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate which was greater in the SHR-derived cell line than in the WKY cells. 3. AII gave an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ in each of the cell lines, with both a larger peak (15-30 s) and plateau response (2 min) in the SHR cells. ET-1 gave an enhanced response in the SHR-derived cells with respect to the peak but not the plateau of cytosolic Ca2+. 4. Phospholipase D activity was studied by monitoring the formation of [3P]-phosphatidylbutanol in 32Pi prelabelled cells. AII stimulation gave a larger phospholipase D response in the SHR-derived cells, while ET-1 gave a larger response in WKY-derived cells. 5. Stimulation of SHR-derived cells with 100 nM AII for 1 h, followed by 19 h in the absence of agonist, stimulated [3H]-thymidine incorporation over the next 4 h. When the 1 h stimulation with AII was in the presence of increasing concentrations of butanol, which diverts the product of the phospholipase D pathway, there was a loss of stimulated [3H]-thymidine incorporation which was significant at 10 mM butanol and at 30-50 mM reached a maximum loss of 40%. 6. Contrasting with this there was no apparent loss of ET-l-stimulated thymidine incorporation when butanol was present at concentrations up to 40 mM.7. These results suggest that phospholipase D is one of several pathways in the mitogenic response of SHR-derived vascular smooth muscle cells to All.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activity that was stimulated by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) was detected in cytosol and membranes of HL60 cells. GTP gamma S-stimulated PLD activity was detected in the membranes when exogenous labeled phosphatidylcholine was used in the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, but not when [3H]myristic acid-labeled endogenous substrate was used. Cytosolic PLD co-chromatographed with small GTP-binding proteins on anion-exchange columns, but subsequent chromatography separated these. Reconstitution studies demonstrated ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) as a regulator of cytosolic PLD, whereas the Rho proteins RhoA and CDC42Hs were ineffective. The cytosolic enzyme showed very little activity in the absence of GTP gamma S and was stimulated by 2 mM Ca2+, whereas the membrane enzyme had significant basal activity and was inhibited by Ca2+. Rho-specific GDP dissociation inhibitor inhibited GTP gamma S stimulation of membrane PLD activity in the presence and absence of cytosol. The stimulation in GDP dissociation inhibitor-treated membranes could be partially recovered by the addition of recombinant Rho proteins (RhoA, Rac1, CDC42Hs). RhoA and Rac1 were also stimulatory in untreated membranes. However, Western blot analysis of membranes showed the presence of RhoA, but not Rac1 or CDC42Hs, suggesting that RhoA was the endogenous small GTP-binding protein involved in GTP-dependent PLD activity in membranes in the absence of cytosol. ARF also stimulated the membrane PLD in the presence of GTP gamma S, and the combination of RhoA and ARF showed a synergistic effect. These results show the presence of ARF-dependent PLD activity in both cytosol and membranes. The membranes contain another PLD activity for which the endogenous regulator appears to be RhoA. The data suggest the existence of at least two different PLD isozymes in HL60 cells.
