Abstract
The agonist stimulation of a variety of cells results in the induction of specific lipid metabolism in nuclear membranes, supporting the hypothesis of an important role of the lipids in nuclear signal transduction. While the existence of a phosphatidylinositol cycle has been reported in cellular nuclei, little attention has been given to the metabolism of phosphatidylcholine in nuclear signaling. In the present study the metabolism of phosphatidylcholine in the nuclei of neuroblastoma cells LA-N-1 was investigated. The incubation of LA-N-1 nuclei with radioactive choline, phosphocholine or CDP-choline led to the production of labelled phosphatidylcholine. The incorporation of choline and phosphocholine but not CDP-choline was enhanced in nuclei of TPA treated cells. Moreover the presence of choline kinase, phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase and phosphocholine transferase activities were detected in the nuclei and the TPA treatment of the cells stimulated the activity of the phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase. When cells prelabelled with [3H]palmitic acid were stimulated with TPA in the presence of ethanol, an increase of labelled diacylglycerol and phosphatidylethanol in the nuclei was observed. Similarly, an increase of labelled diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid but not of phosphatidylethanol occurred in [3H]palmitic acid prelabelled nuclei stimulated with TPA in the presence of ethanol. However the production of phosphatidylethanol was observed when the nuclei were treated with TPA in the presence of ATP and GTPgammaS. The stimulation of [3H]choline prelabelled nuclei with TPA also generated the release of free choline and phosphocholine. The results indicate the presence of PLD and probably PLC activities in LA-N-1 nuclei and the involvement of phosphatidylcholine in the production of nuclear lipid second messengers upon TPA stimulation of LA-N-1 cells. The correlation of the disappearance of phosphatidylcholine, the production of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid with the stimulation of phosphatidylcholine synthesis in nuclei of TPA treated LA-N-1 suggests the existence of a phosphatidylcholine cycle in these nuclei.

Abstract
The protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulates both the synthesis and phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). Here, attached and suspended NIH 3T3 fibroblasts as well as variants of the MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cell line expressing PKC-alpha and a PtdCho-specific PLD activity at widely different levels were used to determine the possible role of PKC-alpha, PtdCho hydrolysis, and choline uptake in the mediation of PMA effect on PtdCho synthesis. In wild-type MCF-7 cells, which express both PKC-alpha and PLD activities at very low levels, PMA had little effects on the uptake or incorporation [14C]choline into PtdCho. In multidrug resistant MCF-7/MDR1 cells, which highly express PKC-alpha but lack the PtdCho-specific PLD activity, 100-nM PMA had relatively small stimulatory effects on the uptake of [14C]choline (approximately 1.5-fold) and [14C]PtdCho synthesis (1.5- to 2-fold). In NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and MCF-7/PKC-alpha cells, both expressing PKC-alpha and PLD activities at high levels, 10-100-nM PMA enhanced [14C]choline uptake only slightly (1.7- to 2.2-fold), while it had much greater (approximately 4-9-fold) stimulatory effects on PtdCho synthesis. PMA significantly enhanced the formation of phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) in MCF-7/PKC-alpha cells (2.8-fold increase), but not in MCF-7/MDR1 cells (1.4-fold increase), while in both cell lines it had only small (1.3-1.5-fold) stimulatory effects on 1,2-diacylglycerol (1, 2-DAG) formation. In suspended NIH 3T3 cells, 200-300-mM ethanol blocked the stimulatory effect of PMA on PtdOH formation without affecting PtdCho synthesis indicating that neither PtdOH nor 1,2-DAG derived from it is a mediator of PMA effect on PtdCho synthesis. In attached NIH 3T3 cells, dimethylbenz[a]anthracene enhanced phosphocholine formation and, thus, choline uptake without increasing PtdCho synthesis or modifying the effect of PMA. While the results indicate that the stimulatory effect of PMA on PtdCho synthesis requires the expression of both PKC-alpha and a PtdCho-specific PLD, they do not support a role for 1,2-DAG, PtdOH or choline in the mediation of PMA effect.

Abstract
Mammalian members of the bombesin-like peptide family (gastrin releasing peptides; GRP) have been localized in the ovine median eminence and in hypophysial-portal blood, suggesting a role in the regulation of anterior pituitary function. In this study we have shown that although bombesin cannot stimulate ACTH secretion alone, it potentiates release by ovine CRF, an effect blocked by the GRP receptor antagonist D-Tyr6bombesin (6-13) propylamide. Bombesin did not potentiate AVP-stimulated ACTH release; instead release was attenuated when bombesin was given at a 10-fold or greater molar excess over AVP, with no interaction seen at lower concentrations. We conclude that ovine corticotrophs express bombesin receptors, and that GRP may act in concert with other hypothalamic releasing factors to regulate ACTH secretion.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) can provide lipid second messengers involved in signal transduction pathways. As a measure of phospholipid turnover in response to extracellular stimulation, we investigated differential enhancement of [3H]choline incorporation into PtdCho by phorbol esters. In C6 rat glioma and SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells, [3H]PtdCho synthesis was 2-4 fold stimulated by beta-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (beta-TPA) when [3H]choline was incubated simultaneously with, or 15 min prior to, beta-TPA treatment. By contrast, in N1E-115 mouse and SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma cells, phorbol esters had no appreciable effect on [3H]choline incorporation; however, in all cells, 200 microM oleic acid enhanced PtdCho synthesis, indicating a stimulable process. Alterations by thymeleatoxin (TMT), an activator of conventional PKC isoforms (alpha, beta and gamma), were similar to beta-TPA. We investigated whether expression of specific PKC isoforms might correlate with these effects of phorbol esters on PtdCho synthesis. All cell lines bound phorbol esters, had PKC activity that was translocated by phorbol esters and differentially expressed isoforms of PKC. Northern and western blot analyses, using specific cDNA and antibodies for PKC-alpha, -beta, -gamma, -delta, -epsilon, and -zeta, revealed that expression of alpha-isoform predominated in C6 and SK-N-SH cells. In contrast, TPA-responsive beta-isoform predominated in SK-N-MC cells. gamma-PKC was not detected in any cells and only in C6 cells was PKC-delta present and translocated by beta-TPA treatment. PKC-epsilon was not detected in SK-N-MC cell lines but translocated with TPA treatment in the other three cell lines. PKC-zeta was present in all cells but was unaltered by TPA treatment. Accordingly, stimulation of PtdCho turnover by phorbol esters correlated only with expression of PKC-alpha; presence of PKC-beta alone was insufficient for a TPA response.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of phospholipids in vasopressin-stimulated baby hamster kidney (BHK)-21 and H9c2 myoblastic cells was investigated. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in these cells were pulse labelled with [3H]glycerol, [3H]myristate, [3H]choline or [3H]ethanolamine, and chased with the non-labelled precursor until linear turnover rates were obtained. When cells labelled with [3H]glycerol or [3H]myristate were stimulated by vasopressin, no significant decrease in the labelling of phosphatidylcholine was detected, but the labelling of phosphatidic acid was elevated. However, the labellings of phosphatidylethanolamine and its hydrolytic product were not affected by vasopressin stimulation. When the cells were pulse labelled with [3H]-choline, vasopressin stimulation caused a decrease in the labelled phosphatidylcholine with a corresponding increase in the labelled choline. The apparent discrepancy between the two types of labelling might be explained by the recycling of labelled phosphatidic acid back into phosphatidylcholine, thus masking the reduction in the labelled phospholipid during vasopressin stimulation. Alternatively, the labelled choline produced by vasopressin stimulation was released into the medium, thus reducing the recycling of label precursor back into the phospholipid and making the decrease in the labelling of phosphatidylcholine readily detectable. Further studies revealed that vasopressin treatment caused an enhancement of phospholipase D activity in these cells. The presence of substrate-specific phospholipase D isoforms in mammalian tissues led us to postulate that the differential stimulation of phospholipid hydrolysis by vasopressin was caused by the enhancement of a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D in both BHK-21 and the H9c2 cells.

Abstract
The ability of chemicals with tumor-promoting or tumor-inhibiting activity to modulate gap junctional intercellular communication is reviewed. The two most extensively used types of assays for screening tests are (1) metabolic cooperation assays involving exchange between cells of precursors of nucleic acid synthesis and (2) dye-transfer assays that measure exchange of fluorescent dye from loaded cells to adjacent cells. About 300 substances of different biological activities have been studied using various assays. For tumor promoters/epigenetic carcinogens, metabolic cooperation assays have a sensitivity of 62% and dye-transfer assays 60%. Thirty percent of DNA-reactive carcinogens also possess the ability to uncouple cells. The complete estimation of the predictive power of these assays could not be made because the majority of the substances studied for intercellular communication effects in vitro have not yet been studied for promoting activity in vivo. Both metabolic cooperation assays and dye transfer assays respond well to the following classes of substances: phorbol esters, organochlorine pesticides, polybrominated biphenyls, promoters for urinary bladder, some biological toxins, peroxisome proliferators, and some complex mixtures. Results of in vitro assays for such tumor promoters/nongenotoxic carcinogens, such as some bile acids, some peroxides, alkanes, some hormones, mineral dusts, ascorbic acid, okadaic acid, and benz(e)pyrene, do not correlate with the data of in vivo two-stage or complete carcinogenesis. Enhancement of intercellular communication was found for 18 chemicals. Among these, cAMP, retinoids, and carotenoids have demonstrated inhibition of carcinogenesis. We examine a number of factors that are important for routine screening, including the requirement for biotransformation for some agents to exert effects on gap junctions. We also discuss the mechanisms of tumor promoter and tumor inhibitor effects on gap junctional permeability, including influences of protein kinase activation, changes in proton and Ca2+ intracellular concentrations, and effects of oxy radical production.

Abstract
To elucidate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced differentiation, PMA downregulation of pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells was undertaken. Prolonged treatment (2 d) of PC12 cells with PMA (1 microM) resulted in depleting the cells of alpha, beta, delta, and epsilon-PKC isoforms, but had no effect on the expression of the atypical PKC isoform zeta. PC12 cells, which expressed only PKC zeta, were evaluated for their responses to NGF. Removal of the PMA-sensitive PKC isoforms enhanced the ability of NGF to promote neurite extension. Both the percentage cells with neurites and length of neurites were increased in the PMA-treated cells, whereas no effect was observed on the number of neurites per cell or branching of individual neurites. In addition, PMA downregulation resulted in an increase in the incorporation of 3H-thymidine without any significant effect on the expression of c-fos. Addition of NGF to PC12 cells depleted of the PMA-sensitive PKC isoforms resulted in the activation of PKC zeta (Wooten et al., 1994). To test whether the transient activation of PKC zeta is a necessary component of the neuritogenetic pathway, antisense oligonucleotide strategy was utilized to remove this particular PKC isoform. The addition of a 20-bp antisense oligonucleotide directed against the 5' coding sequence of PKC zeta attenuated NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells lacking PMA-sensitive PKC isoforms. Sense oligonucleotide directed at the same site was without effect on NGF responses. These data indicate that PKC zeta comprises a portion of the NGF pathway and underscores the importance of this isoform in neuronal differentiation. Moreover, these findings demonstrate that the PMA-insensitive pathway, which was previously characterized as PKC-independent, and the neurite induction pathway are synonymous and mediated by PKC zeta.

Abstract
We have examined the effect of protein kinase (PKC) depletion in SV40-transformed Djungarian hamster fibroblasts (DM15 cells) on the level of gap junction permeability. Cx43 electrophoretic mobility, and cell sensitivity to different uncoupling stimuli. After 24 hr exposure to 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), the total PKC activity in DM15 cells was reduced to 20-25% in comparison with intact cells. In PKC-depleted cells the level of dye coupling was 30-40% higher than in the same untreated cultures. Western blot analysis revealed multiple forms of the gap junction protein connexin 43, which correspond to known phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms of this protein. No decrease in the level of connexin 43 phosphorylation after PKC depletion was observed. TPA (10(-7) g/ml), mezerein (10(-7) g/ml), teleocidin (10(-8) g/ml), Ca-ionophore A23187 (10(-6) g/ml), insecticide 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorphenyl)-ethane (DDT) (10(-4) g/ml), and nigericin (10(-5) M in hydrolysate lactalbumin solution, pH 6.3) induced a four-to six-fold decrease in the number of recipient cells in the dye-coupling assay. PKC-depleted cells became almost completely resistant to the uncoupling effect of mezerein, teleocidin, and A23187, as well as to new exposure to TPA, and became partially resistant to the effect of DDT. Nigericin inhibited intercellular communication between PKC-depleted cells to the same extent as between control cells. Thus, in the cell system studied, PKC plays a certain role in maintaining the basal level of gap junction permeability and has an important significance as a mediator of the uncoupling effects of such substances as TPA, mezerein, teleocidin, and Ca2+.

Abstract
We examined the profile of two bombesin (BN) antagonists, (CH3)2CHCO-His-Trp-Ala-Val-D-Ala-His-Leu-NHCH3] (ICI 216140) and [D-Phe6,des-Met14]BN(6-14)ethylamide (DPDM-BN EA), against neuromedin B-induced Ca2+ mobilization in the small cell lung cancer (SCLC) line NCI-H345. Neuromedin B (NMB), a BN-like peptide sharing sequence homology with ranatensin, elicited a concentration-dependent Ca2+ release (in part) from intracellular stores. Sequential addition of NMB attenuated Ca2+ mobilization. Desensitization occurred between BN and NMB; depletion of intracellular Ca2+ is a likely mechanism because thapsigargin stimulated Ca2+ release after a maximally desensitizing dose of NMB. ICI 216140 and DPDM-BN EA competitively inhibited BN-induced Ca2+ transients. In contrast, these compounds antagonized NMB-stimulated Ca2+ transients in a noncompetitive manner. The pharmacological profiles obtained support receptor heterogeneity for BN-like peptides on this SCLC line, underscoring the need for thorough examination of dose-response relationships when investigating effects of BN analogues on intact cells.

Abstract
Adenylate cyclase purified by affinity chromatography was activated about 2.5-fold in a Ca(2+)- and calmodulin-dependent fashion. G protein beta gamma-subunits, an inhibitor in the receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase, inhibited the purified cyclase by more than 80%. The extent of beta gamma-induced inhibition was not affected by the activation with Ca2+ and calmodulin. Moreover, the prior addition of the beta gamma-subunits to the cyclase did not prevent the subsequent activation of the enzyme by Ca2+ and calmodulin. We conclude that the beta gamma-subunits inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in a calmodulin-independent mode.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that insulin action does not involve inositol phospholipid hydrolysis through the stimulation of a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). This consideration prompted us to investigate the insulin effect on the mechanism leading to the accumulation of diacylglycerol (DAG) and phosphatidic acid (PA) in rat hepatocytes. Basically, insulin induces: (i) a significant increase of both [3H]glycerol and fatty acid labelling of DAG; (ii) a significant increase of PA labelling preceding DAG labelling and paralleled by a decrease of phosphatidylcholine (PC) labelling. These observations, which suggest an insulin-dependent involvement of a phospholipase D, are strengthened by the increase of PC-derived phosphatidylethanol in presence of ethanol. Finally, the observation that the PA levels do not return to basal suggests that other mechanisms different from PC hydrolysis, such as the stimulation of direct synthesis of PA, may be activated.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids by phospholipase C is initiated by either receptor stimulation or opening of Ca2+ channels. This was once thought to be the sole mechanism to produce the diacylglycerol that links extracellular signals to intracellular events through activation of protein kinase C. It is becoming clear that agonist-induced hydrolysis of other membrane phospholipids, particularly choline phospholipids, by phospholipase D and phospholipase A2 may also take part in cell signaling. The products of hydrolysis of these phospholipids may enhance and prolong the activation of protein kinase C. Such prolonged activation of protein kinase C is essential for long-term cellular responses such as cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
It was shown that in LA-N-2 cells prelabeled with [3H-methyl]choline for 24 hr (Singh et al.: Mol Chem Neuropathol 14:53-66, 1991) the major intracellular and extracellular hydrophilic compound was phosphorylcholine. LA-N-2 cells were labeled with [14C-methyl]choline for 24 hr, harvested, and incubated in Hepes/BSA/saline buffer for varying periods of time. The radioactive compound present in the cytosol and released into Hepes/BSA/saline buffer medium in the presence or absence of TPA was phosphorylcholine. There was a gradual increase in the appearance of radioactivity in the medium and this corresponded to a gradual decline in the radioactivity present in the cytosolic compartment with a statistically significant P value of less than .005. Identical results were obtained with prelabeled cells subsequently incubated with TPA. There was no significant change in the amount of radioactivity associated with lipid suggesting that the phosphorylcholine may be released directly from the cytosolic compartment into the medium rather than originating through a phospholipase-C catalyzed hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine. This possibility received support from experiments in which cells were electropermeabilized in the presence of radioactive phosphorylcholine. It was found that the introduced [14C]phosphorylcholine was released intact into the incubation medium from the cytosolic compartment. The incorporation of [14C]choline, [14C]ethanolamine, and [14C]serine by LA-N-2 cells into their corresponding phospholipids was investigated in the presence or absence of TPA. The presence of TPA increased the amount of radioactivity incorporated into the phospholipids with a corresponding decrease in the amount of radioactivity in the cytosolic compartment compared to control cultures. There were no detectable differences between TPA exposed and control cells in the distribution of radioactivity in free choline, phosphorylcholine, or CDP-choline of [14C] choline labeled cells. This indicates that the increased lipid labeling was not accompanied by enhanced labeling of the intermediates of the de novo pathway. This effect of TPA in altering the distribution of labeling of the cytosolic and lipid components was not demonstrable with cells grown in the presence of 10(-5) M retinoic acid.

Abstract
Dioctanoylglycerol, a synthetic diacylglycerol, stimulated [14C]choline uptake in cultured human neuroblastoma (LA-N-2) cells. As this effect has not, to our knowledge, been reported before, it was of interest to characterize it in more detail. In the presence of 500 microM dioctanoylglycerol the levels of [14C]choline attained during a 2 hour labeling period were elevated by 78 +/- 12%, while [14C]acetylcholine and long fatty acyl chain [14C]phosphatidylcholine levels increased by 26 +/- 2% and 19 +/- 5%, respectively (mean +/- S.E.M.). Total (long chain plus dioctanoyl-) [14C]phosphatidylcholine was increased by 198 +/- 33%. Kinetic analysis showed that dioctanoylglycerol reduced the apparent Km for choline uptake to 56 +/- 9% of control (n = 4). The Vmax was not significantly altered. The stimulation of [14C]choline accumulation by dioctanoylglycerol was not dependent on protein kinase C activation; the effect was not mimicked by phorbol ester or by 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol, and was not inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitors H-7 or staurosporine, or by prolonged pretreatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. The effect of dioctanoylglycerol was slightly (but not significantly) reduced by EGTA and strongly inhibited by the cell-permeant calcium chelator bis(o-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, tetra(acetoxymethyl)ester. Although these results implicate elevated intracellular calcium in the response, dioctanoylglycerol did not increase phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis in LA-N-2 cells, and its effect was not inhibited by the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R 59 022 (which blocks the conversion of diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid, a known stimulator of phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activity was found to be present in the membrane fraction of rat myocardial cells by in vitro assays (36.7 +/- 4.1 nmol/mg protein per h against 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl- phosphatidylcholine) and demonstrated in intact cells by the specific transphosphatidylation reaction (in the presence of 0.02% ethanol) quantitated using n-[1-14C]butanol (201.16 +/- 7.1 pmol/min per g dry weight in the whole heart). Both methods showed a significant increase in PLD activity (by 62 and 44%, respectively) in hearts subjected to reversible (30 min) global normothermic ischemia followed by reperfusion (30 min). In hearts prelabeled with [1-14C]arachidonic acid, ischemia/reperfusion induced a significant increase in the amount of radiolabel incorporated into phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) (by 49.6%) and diacylglycerol (DG) (by 259%). DG kinase inhibition by 100 microM dioctanoylethylene glycol did not affect the ischemia/reperfusion DG and PtdOH levels while PtdOH phosphohydrolase inhibition with 40 microM propranolol produced a further increase in PtdOH (to 2.36-fold the baseline level) and a reduction in DG (to only 145% over the baseline levels). Put together, all these results suggest an activation of PLD during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion generating intracellular PtdOH, part of which is converted by PtdOH phosphohydrolase to DG. We further investigated the possible pathophysiological significance of the observed PLD activation. Stimulation of PLD with sodium oleate (20 microM) induced a significant improvement of functional recovery of ischemic hearts during reperfusion (as monitored by coronary flow and left intraventricular pressure measurements) and an attenuation of cellular injury as expressed by lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase release in the coronary effluent during reperfusion. These results suggest a PLD-mediated signaling in the ischemic heart which may benefit functional recovery during reperfusion.

Abstract
We have investigated the effect of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) on signal transduction pathways. CDDP treatment did not cause any change in the binding of [3H]-phorbol dibutyrate to PC-9 (human lung adenocarcinoma cell line) cells, a measure of protein kinase C activation. However, 2-h CDDP treatment (20 micrograms/ml) caused approximately 200% increase in 1,2-sn-diacylglycerol (DAG) production and approximately 50% decrease in inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate production. To explore the different source of DAG, we analyzed phospholipids labeled with [14C]choline by TLC and revealed that [14C]choline-labeled phosphatidylcholine (PC) was decreased to 50% by CDDP treatment. This suggested that PC turnover was increased by CDDP-treatment. PC-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) activity was increased to 2.5-fold (2.58 +/- 0.28 nmol/mg protein per min) by 2 h CDDP (20 micrograms/ml) treatment compared with control (1.05 +/- 0.24 nmol/mg protein per min). Treatment of CDDP also stimulated PC-PLC in the crude membrane extract from PC-9 cells. CDDP had no effect on the activities of phospholipase A2 and D. Trans-DDP, which has far less cytotoxicity than its stereoisomer, CDDP, did not cause any change in PC-PLC activity. A significant inhibition of DNA synthesis (less than 80%) occurred 4 h after 2 h CDDP (20 micrograms/ml) treatment. These results demonstrated that CDDP-induced PC-PLC activation was an early event in CDDP-induced cytotoxicity and suggested that the effects of CDDP on signal transduction pathways had an important role in CDDP-induced cytotoxicity.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of A23187 and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) on sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) accumulation and phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis in rat parotid acinar cells. Both A23187 and PDBu, in concentration ranges of 0.001-0.1 microM, stimulated DAG accumulation and PC hydrolysis in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Treatment with A23187 and PDBu stimulated the release of [3H]choline and [3H]phosphocholine into the medium, indicating [3H]PC hydrolysis is due to the activation of phospholipases C and D; however, [3H]phosphatidylethanolamine hydrolysis was not indicated. These releases were unaffected by the addition of glucose 6-phosphate, a phosphatase inhibitor. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, significantly inhibited the DAG accumulation and the PC hydrolysis stimulated by these agents. Combinations of A23187 and PDBu potentiated the stimulatory effect which each of these agents alone had on DAG accumulation and PC hydrolysis. This mode of action was additive but not synergistic. These results suggest that DAG accumulation induced by A23187 and PDBu is related to the PC hydrolysis mediated via the activation of phospholipases C and D, and that it is not related to phosphatidylethanolamine hydrolysis.

Abstract
We studied the relationship between phosphoinositide hydrolysis, phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis, and sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) formation in response to carbachol stimulation in rat parotid acinar cells. Previously, we demonstrated that DAG formation stimulated with 1 microM carbachol was biphasic: the first peak occurred at 5 min and the second one at 20 min. It was also demonstrated that the second peak was regulated in part by a calmodulin/protein kinase C-dependent mechanism. Based on the kinetic analysis of DAG formation and [32P]phosphoinositide breakdown, the first peak of carbachol (1 microM)-stimulated DAG accumulation was found to be related to the breakdown of [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate ([32P]PIP) and [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate ([32P]PIP2). The second peak was found to be related to [32P]PIP2 breakdown. Carbachol stimulated the release of [3H]phosphocholine into the medium, indicating that the predominant pathway for phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis was via phospholipase C. Moreover, carbachol stimulated the release of [3H]choline metabolites in a time- and dose-dependent manner. This agonist slightly stimulated the release of [3H]ethanolamine metabolites. A calmodulin/protein kinase C-dependent mechanism was also studied and was found to be involved in carbachol-stimulated phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis; W-7, a calmodulin inhibitor and staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, inhibited the carbachol (1-microM)-induced release of [3H]choline metabolites at 20 min in a dose-dependent manner, but did not have inhibitory effects at 5 min. These results suggest that the first peak of DAG accumulation induced by carbachol is predominantly associated with the breakdown [32P]PIP and of [32P]PIP2 and that the second peak is predominantly associated with [32P]PIP2 breakdown and phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis.

Abstract
1. De novo synthesis of phospholipid and its catabolism in human leukemia monocytic THP-1 cells were investigated. 2. Radiolabelled precursors: [methyl-3H]chloride, [1,2-14C]ethanolamine and myo-[2-3H]inositol were readily incorporated into CHCl3-MEOH extractable lipid fraction as a function of time. 3. The radiolabels derived from choline, ethanolamine and inositol were preferentially incorporated into PC, PE and PI fraction, respectively. The data indicate that de novo PL synthesis takes place, and the CDP-choline pathway is operative as a major pathway for PC synthesized in THP-1 cells. 4. Bacterial endotoxin dose-dependently stimulated the incorporation of radiolabelled precursors. Approximately 50% stimulation in PC and PE synthesis was obtained in 20 hr, while the incorporation of [3H]inositol was rapidly stimulated by 170% within 4 hr, and the stimulation declined drastically thereafter. 5. LPS did not alter the radiolabel distribution into PL in any of the three cases. 6. In pulse-chase studies, the cells prelabelled with radioactive PL were exposed to LPS (1 micrograms/ml). The breakdown of PC was enhanced about 30% within the first 2 hr followed by a stimulated PC synthesis observed in the next 4 hr. In contrast, LPS did not induce the hydrolysis of PE and PI. 7. The data indicate that LPS produces a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on PL synthesis and selectively stimulates the hydrolysis of PC via phospholipase C/D reaction in THP-1 cells.

Abstract
The K+/H+ antiporter nigericin inhibits the intercellular exchange of the fluorescent dye Lucifer Yellow between DM15-transformed fibroblasts derived from the Djungarian hamster. The efficacy of nigericin action was related to its concentration and time of incubation. The nigericin-induced uncoupling effect on gap junctions was reversible and was shown to be based on its ability to cause cystolic acidification. The effect of nigericin on dye-coupling in intact and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-pretreated cells did not differ, indicating that the uncoupling effect of H+ on gap junctions in DM15 cells was not mediated by the TPA-dependent isoform of protein kinase C.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a proinflammatory polypeptide that is able to induce a great diversity of cellular responses via modulating the expression of a number of different genes. One major pathway by which TNF receptors communicate signals from the membrane to the cell nucleus involves protein kinase C (PKC). In the present study, we have addressed the molecular mechanism of TNF-induced PKC activation. To this, membrane lipids of the human histiocytic cell line U937 were labeled by incubation with various radioactive precursors, and TNF-induced changes in phospholipid, neutral lipid, and water-soluble metabolites were analyzed by thin layer chromatography. TNF treatment of U937 cells resulted in a rapid and transient increase of 1'2'diacylglycerol (DAG), a well-known activator of PKC. The increase in DAG was detectable as early as 15 s after TNF treatment and peaked at 60 s. DAG increments were most pronounced (approximately 360% of basal levels) when cells were preincubated with [14C]lysophosphatidylcholine, which was predominantly incorporated into the phosphatidylcholine (PC) pool of the plasma-membranes. Further extensive examination of changes in metabolically labeled phospholipids indicated that TNF-stimulated hydrolysis of PC is accompanied by the generation of phosphorylcholine and DAG. These results suggest the operation of a PC-specific phospholipase C. Since no changes in phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline were observed and the production of DAG by TNF could not be blocked by either propranolol or ethanol, a combined activation of phospholipase D and PA-phosphohydrolase in DAG production appears unlikely. TNF-stimulated DAG production as well as PKC activation could be blocked by the phospholipase inhibitor p-bromophenacylbromide (BPB). Since BPB did not inactivate PKC directly, these findings underscore that TNF activates PKC via formation of DAG. TNF stimulation of DAG production could be inhibited by preincubation of cells with a monoclonal anti-TNF receptor (p55-60) antibody, indicating that activation of a PC-specific phospholipase C is a TNF receptor-mediated event.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying the ability of substance P, to stimulate the sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) formation were studied using rat parotid acinar cells. During a 60 s stimulation, 1 microM substance P caused a rapid rise in DAG accumulation at 5 s, whereas a low (0.1 microM) concentration of agonist did not. During long term stimulation for 30 min, DAG accumulation induced by 1 microM substance P reached near maximal levels at 5 min and remained elevated for at least 20 min. In contrast, DAG formation induced by 0.1 microM substance P exhibited a peak at 5 min, gradually declined and returned to near basal levels at 30 min. Furthermore, DAG accumulation in response to substance P at 5 and 20 min increased in a dose-dependent manner. The breakdown of both [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate ([32P]PIP) and [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate ([32P]PIP2) stimulated by 1 microM substance P significantly increased from 5 to 20 min and returned to basal levels by 30 min; however, the breakdown of [32P]PIP2 was greater than that of [32P]PIP. At a low concentration of substance P, [32P]PIP2 breakdown reached maximal levels at 5 min followed by a progressive decrease and returned to basal levels at 30 min, whereas the breakdown of [32P]PIP reached maximal levels at 5 min and returned to near basal levels at 10 min. Both concentrations of substance P caused some [32P]phosphatidylinositol breakdown at 5 min. Changes in [3H]inositol trisphosphate induced by substance P were similar to those in [32P]PIP2. In addition, substance P (1 microM) did not stimulate the release of [3H]choline or [3H]ethanolamine metabolites into the medium. Substance P-induced DAG formation was not inhibited by staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor. These results suggest that DAG formation caused by substance P is closely associated with the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositides but not that of phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine, and is not regulated by protein kinase C-dependent mechanism(s).

Abstract
The role of protein kinase C in the stimulation of phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis by phospholipase C was investigated. Phospholipase C treatment of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) generates diacylglycerol, which is an activator of protein kinase C. The protein kinase C activator, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) stimulated choline incorporation into two CHO cell lines, a wild-type cell line, WTB, and a mutant cell line, DTG 1-5-4. DTG 1-5-4 is a mutant defective in receptor-mediated endocytosis. A 3-h phospholipase C treatment resulted in the activation and translocation of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase in both cell lines. TPA treatment, however, resulted in only a slight (20%) translocation of cytidylyltransferase in WTB; no detectable translocation of cytidylyltransferase was observed in DTG 1-5-4. A decrease in the phosphocholine pools was observed in response to TPA treatment in both cell lines, which indicated that the cytidylyltransferase step was being activated. Phospholipase C stimulated choline incorporation into PC even when protein kinase C had been down-regulated in both cell lines. It was concluded that phospholipase C does not activate PC synthesis by activating protein kinase C.

Abstract
The kinetics of carbachol-induced sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) formation and the underlying mechanism(s) involved in parotid acinar cells were investigated. Supramaximal concentrations of carbachol for amylase secretion (10 microM) caused a transient rise in DAG levels at 10 s. In contrast, this rapid rise was not elicited by 1 microM carbachol, which is the maximally effective concentration for amylase secretion. Carbachol (10 microM) also increased DAG levels linearly up to 20 min, which were sustained for up to a further 10 min. DAG formation stimulated by 1 microM carbachol was biphasic; the first peak was observed after 5 min and the second after 20 min. DAG formation induced by 0.01-0.1 microM carbachol was concentration-dependent and monophasic, peaking at 5 min. The second peak evoked by carbachol was partly inhibited by Ca2+ deprivation from the extracellular space, whereas the first peak was not. Similar results were obtained in experiments using Ca2+ antagonists such as verapamil and LaCl3. The protein kinase C inhibitors, 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) and staurosporine, and a calmodulin antagonist, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7), significantly inhibited the second DAG peak produced by 1 microM carbachol, but did not alter the first peak. The degree of inhibition of the second peak by these antagonists was comparable. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of staurosporine and W-7 was concentration-dependent. The A23187-induced accumulation of DAG also was abolished by both staurosporine and W-7. These data indicate that a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism(s) is involved in mediating the second DAG accumulation peak induced by 1 microM carbachol and is mainly regulated by the Ca(2+)-calmodulin complex.

Abstract
Swiss 3T3 cells were labelled with [3H]glycerol and stimulated with bombesin over a time course of 20 min. The individual 1,2-diacylglycerols produced were quantified by acetylation followed by analysis by HPLC and argentation chromatography. The major phospholipids and phosphatidic acid were acetolysed and then analysed in the same manner. The data show that even at an early time of stimulation (30 s), stimulated diacylglycerol formation comes from at least two sources--phosphoinositides and phosphatidylcholine.

Abstract
The stimulated hydrolysis of inositol lipids and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) by bombesin, [Arg8]vasopressin ([Arg8]Vp) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) was analysed in Swiss 3T3 cells pre-labelled to isotopic equilibrium with either [methyl-3H]choline, myo-[2-3H]inositol or [9,10 (n)-3H]palmitic acid. All three agonists activated the phospholipase D-catalysed hydrolysis of PtdCho as determined by the release of [3H]choline (Cho) and the formation of [3H]phosphatidylbutanol (PtdBut). The release of [3H]choline by each agonist exhibited similar sensitivity to prolonged pre-exposure to the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). The release of [3H]choline exhibited the same dose dependency as the production of total inositol phosphates for each mitogen suggesting that the two responses might be mediated through identical receptors. Acute pre-treatment with TPA allowed the dissociation of inositol lipid hydrolysis from PtdCho breakdown, since it inhibited inositol phosphate accumulation but stimulated choline generation. The loss of mitogen stimulated choline release in cells pre-treated with the phorbol ester for 48 h was not due to loss of stimulated inositol phosphate production which was reproducibly enhanced in these 'down-regulated' cells.

Abstract
Stimulation of quiescent human fibroblasts with the peptide mitogen bradykinin (BK) led to a biphasic elevation in cellular 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), as estimated by either measurement of total DAG mass or [3H]arachidonate incorporation. A rapid initial transient that peaked 15 s after BK addition was followed by a decline to near basal levels then a second rise to a plateau phase during which DAG levels remained elevated for less than or equal to 45 min. The source of the initial DAG transient appeared to be primarily polyphosphoinositides as these phospholipids were rapidly hydrolyzed after BK addition. This transient correlates well temporally with previous observations of the kinetics of inositol trisphosphate accumulation and intracellular free [Ca2+] observed in the same cells. Cultures preincubated with [3H]myristic acid incorporated label predominantly into the phosphatidylcholine (PC) pool. Subsequent addition of BK under these conditions caused only a relatively slow accumulation of [3H]DAG to a plateau level, without an initial transient. Together with the observation that PC was found to decrease upon BK stimulation, these observations suggest that the late phase of DAG accumulation may involve breakdown of other phospholipids including PC. To investigate the consequences of DAG elevation we examined the phosphorylation of an acidic 80 kDa protein, whose phosphorylation is solely dependent on the activation of protein kinase C (PK-C). The 80 kDa fibroblast protein could be immunoprecipitated by an antibody to bovine brain "myristoylated and alanine-rich C-kinase substrate" (MARCKS) and phosphopeptide maps of brain and fibroblast MARCKS were similar. Stimulation of [32P]-prelabeled fibroblasts with serum, BK, vasopressin, or 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate, but not epidermal growth factor or calcium ionophores, resulted in the rapid phosphorylation of MARCKS. With BK or serum this phosphorylation showed an initial transient peak at less than 1 min then rose again to a plateau level that was sustained for less than or equal to 45 min. Removal of BK resulted in a rapid decline in MARCKS phosphorylation. These studies show that the biphasic DAG signal in BK-stimulated human fibroblasts correlates well with the state of activation of PK-C. However, the persistent activation of PK-C does not appear to require continued high levels of Ca2+.

Abstract
1. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) produced a concentration-dependent increase in the membrane concentration of 1,2-diacylglycerol (DG) in the rabbit isolated basilar artery, but did not stimulate the hydrolysis of membrane phosphoinositide. 2. The 5-HT-induced accumulation of DG could be blocked with the putative phospholipase C inhibitor 2-nitro-4-carboxyphenyl-N,N-diphenylcarbamate (NCDC; 70 microM), but not with the protein kinase C inhibitor, 1-(5-isoquinolinesulphonyl)-2-methyl piperazine (H7; 50 microM). 3. Direct stimulation of protein kinase C with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) produced sustained smooth muscle contraction which was fairly rapid in onset and could be reversed by H7 but not by NCDC. The inactive phorbol, 4 alpha phorbol 12,13-dideceonate, did not produce contraction in the basilar artery. 4. 5-HT-induced contractions (1 nM-100 microM) were blocked or greatly reduced in the presence of the protein kinase inhibitor H7 or polymyxin B, and with the phospholipase C inhibitor, NCDC. The concentrations of these inhibitors which abolished contraction to 5-HT, did not alter smooth muscle contraction produced in response to 30 mM K(+)-physiological salt solution (PSS). 5. These data suggest that DG production and the subsequent activation of PKC forms an important component of the cerebrovascular contractile response to 5-HT. As the DG does not appear to arise from membrane phosphatidylinositol, it appears that 5-HT can stimulate the production of this second messenger in cerebral arteries by a mechanism which is different from peripheral arteries.

Abstract
We are using a Rat-6 fibroblast cell line that stably overexpresses the beta 1 isozyme of protein kinase C (PKC) to study regulation of phospholipid hydrolysis by PKC. Stimulation of control (R6-C1) or overexpressing (R6-PKC3) cells with phorbol ester results in an increase in diacylglycerol (DAG) mass with no increase in inositol phosphates, indicating that DAG is not formed by inositol phospholipid breakdown. A more dramatic DAG increase occurs in R6-PKC3 cells (4.0-fold over basal) compared to R6-C1 cells (1.5-fold over basal). To further define the source of DAG, phosphatidylcholine (PC) pools were labeled with [3H]myristic acid or with [3H]- or [32P]alkyllyso-PC and formation of labeled phosphatidylethanol, an unambiguous marker of phospholipase D activation, was monitored. Phorbol ester-stimulated phosphatidylethanol formation is 5-fold greater in the R6-PKC3 cell line. Formation of radiolabeled phosphatidic acid (PA) is also enhanced by PKC overexpression. In cells double-labeled with [3H]- and [32P]-alkyl-lysoPC, the 3H/32P ratio of PA and PC are identical 15 min after stimulation, suggesting that a phospholipase D mechanism predominates. In support of this, the PA phosphohydrolase inhibitor propranolol decreased phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated DAG formation by 72%. Increases in DAG and phosphatidylethanol were inhibited by the PKC inhibitors K252a and staurosporine. These results indicate that phospholipase D is regulated by the action of PKC. Enhanced phospholipase D activity may contribute to the growth abnormalities seen in PKC-overexpressing cells.

Abstract
The mechanisms involved in platelet aggregation by a monoclonal antibody (mAb) P256 specific for the GPIIb-IIIa complex was investigated following metabolic 32P labelling of platelets. When compared with thrombin, inositol phosphates (InsP) production during P256-induced activation was delayed and no apparent peak, but a small and sustained production of [32P]-Ins(1,4,5)P3 and [32P]-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, was observed between 20 and 90 s. [32P]-Ins(1,3,4)P3 was also produced with a maximum after 90 s. Addition of the ADP scavenger creatinine phosphate/creatine phosphokinase (CP/CPK) and of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor aspirin together with P256 almost totally abolished InsP formation, whereas platelet aggregation and protein phosphorylation were partially inhibited. F(ab')2 fragments of P256 also aggregated platelets but to a smaller extent than IgG, and without any measurable InsPs. To characterize further P256-induced activation, the phosphorylation of p43, the main substrate of protein kinase C (PKC) and the phosphorylation of tyrosine protein (P-Tyr) was also studied. PKC activation was smaller with P256-IgG than with thrombin but both thrombin and P265-IgG induced a similar profile of P-Tyr involving seven major bands, whereas P256-F(ab')2 only occasionally activated PKC but always significantly phosphorylated a 64,000 molecular weight P-Tyr. The data indicate that the binding of P256 to GPIIb-IIIa, in contrast with thrombin, does not initially lead directly to the activation of the phosphoinositide phospholipase C to produce InsP's but rather involves the activation of protein kinases and also both fragments F(ab')2 and Fc play a specific role in the platelet responses to the mAb. Only the crosstalk between the two pathways evoked by F(ab')2 and Fc respectively allows the activation of all platelet activation systems.

Abstract
It is now clear that various hormones and agonists can stimulate the production of lipid mediators from non-phosphoinositide phospholipids. We have investigated the production of diacylglycerol from nonphosphoinositide sources, and we demonstrated that vasopressin and other vasoactive agents stimulate hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine in a variety of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells of rat and human origin. We used vasopressin to characterize this response and found that vasopressin stimulates phospholipase D activity against phosphatidylcholine in A-10 vascular smooth muscle cells. The vasopressin-stimulated phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis is both time- and concentration-dependent. The half-maximal dose of vasopressin required for phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis (ED50 approximately 1 nM) correlates well with vasopressin binding to A-10 cells (Kd approximately 2 nM). The phosphatidylcholine in A-10 cells can be preferentially radiolabeled with [3H]myristic acid; subsequent treatment with vasopressin stimulates a rapid increase in 3H-labeled phosphatidate (approximately 4 X control values at 3 min), and after a short lag, 3H-labeled diacylglycerol rises and reaches maximal levels at 10 min (approximately 2 X control values). Similar temporal elevations of phosphatidate and diacylglycerol occur in A-10 cells labeled with [3H] glycerol. In A-10 cells radiolabeled with [3H] choline, the elevation of cellular phosphatidate and diacylglycerol is concomitant with the release of [3H] choline metabolites (predominantly choline) to the culture medium. The temporal production of phosphatidate and diacylglycerol as well as the release of choline to the culture medium are consistent with vasopressin activating phospholipase D. In addition, vasopressin stimulates a transphosphatidylation reaction that is characteristic of phospholipase D. The transphosphatidylation reaction is detected by the production of phosphatidylethanol that occurs when A-10 cells are incubated with ethanol and stimulated with vasopressin. The phospholipase D is active in the absence of extracellular Ca++ whereas the vasopressin-stimulated mobilization of arachidonic acid is dependent on extracellular Ca++. The data indicate that vasopressin stimulates phospholipase D which hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidate. The phosphatidate is then metabolized, presumably by a phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, to produce sustained levels of cellular diacylglycerol. These sustained levels of diacylglycerol may activate protein kinase C and thereby function in the "sustained phase" of cellular responses.

Abstract
The early events that occur after interferon binds to discrete cell surface receptors remain largely unknown. Human leukocyte interferon (interferon-alpha) rapidly increases the binding of [3H]phorbol dibutyrate to intact HeLa cells (ED50 = 100 units/ml), a measure of protein kinase C activation, and induces the selective translocation of the beta isoform of protein kinase C from the cytosol to the particulate fraction of HeLa cells. The subcellular distribution of the alpha and epsilon isoforms is unaffected by interferon-alpha treatment. Activation of protein kinase C by phorbol esters mimics the inhibitory action of interferon-alpha on HeLa cell proliferation and down-regulation of protein kinase C blocks the induction of antiviral activity by interferon-alpha in HeLa cells. Increased phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis and phosphorylcholine production is accompanied by diacylglycerol production in response to interferon. However, inositol phospholipid turnover and free intracellular calcium concentration are unaffected. These results suggest that the transient increase in diacylglycerol, resulting from phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis, may selectively activate the beta isoform of protein kinase C. Moreover, the activation of protein kinase C is a necessary element in interferon action on cells.
