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
In a variety of cells and tissues, platelet activating factor (PAF) stimulates phospholipase C catalyzed breakdown of phosphoinositides. This results in the generation of the second messengers, inositol trisphosphate and diglyceride. This process occurs independently of extracellular Ca2+. A number of PAF structural analogues, receptor antagonists and drugs have been utilized to pharmacologically probe the activation of phospholipase C. PAF stimulation of the phosphoinositide turnover was shown to be sensitive to pertussis toxin in some systems, but not in others. The involvement of guanine nucleotide binding protein(s) and tyrosine kinase(s) in this process have also been postulated. These developments give new insights into PAF-receptor function at the molecular level, and also provide leads towards a better understanding of the cellular responses to PAF.

Abstract
Phospholipases C and D are phosphodiesterases which act on phospholipid head groups. Although the presence of these enzymes in living organisms has long been known, it is only recently that their role in cell signal transduction has been appreciated. The new developments on phospholipases D (PLD) are especially noteworthy, since these enzymes catalyze a novel pathway for second messenger generation. In a variety of mammalian cell systems, several biological or chemical agents have recently been shown to stimulate PLD activity. Depending on the system, activation of PLD has been suggested to be either dependent on, or independent of, Ca2+ and protein kinase C. PLD primarily hydrolyses phosphatidylcholine (PC) but phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine have also been reported as substrates. Different forms of endogenous PLD may also exist in cells. Exogenous addition of PLD causes alterations in cellular functions. In many instances, Ca2+ mobilizing agonists may stimulate both PLC and PLD pathways. Interestingly, several metabolites of these two enzymes are second messengers and are common to both pathways (e.g. phosphatidic acid, diglyceride). This has raised the issue of the interrelationship between these pathways. The regulation of either PLC or PLD by cellular components, e.g. guanine nucleotide binding proteins or protein kinases, is under intense investigation. These recent advances are providing novel information on the significance of phospholipase C and D mediated phospholipid turnover in cellular signalling. This review highlights some of these new discoveries and emerging issues, as well as challenges for future research on phospholipases.

Abstract
Rabbit platelet-rich plasma was incubated with [32P]orthophosphate, after which the platelets were washed, further incubated in the absence or presence of verapamil and subsequently stimulated with PAF-acether or thrombin. In the absence of verapamil, a rapid increase in radioactivity in phosphatidic acid was observed in platelets stimulated with PAF-acether or thrombin. This was inhibited by verapamil over the concentration range 10(-7) to 10(-4) M, at which concentration the rise in phosphatidic acid was completely abolished. In unstimulated platelets, 10(-4) M verapamil induced an increase in radioactivity in polyphosphoinositides but not significantly in phosphatidylinositol. When these verapamil-treated platelets were stimulated with PAF-acether or thrombin, there was a rapid, sustained loss of the additional radioactivity induced in the polyphosphoinositides by verapamil. Polyphosphoinositide radioactivity remained unchanged in platelets stimulated in the absence of verapamil. Verapamil may stimulate formation of a separate pool of polyphosphoinositide which is susceptible to agonist-induced phospholipase C, and failure to re-synthesize this polyphosphoinositide could result from inhibition of phosphatidic acid synthesis.

Abstract
The possible involvement of protein kinase C activation in regulating PAF-stimulated PLC activity was studied in rabbit platelets. PAF (100 nM for 5 seconds) stimulated incorporation of 32P into proteins and caused [3H]InsP3 levels to increase about 260% of control. These responses were compared after platelets were pretreated with either PAF, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or staurosporine and also after pretreatments with staurosporine followed by PAF or PMA. Pretreating platelets with staurosporine potentiated PAF-stimulated [3H]InsP3 levels by 54% and blocked protein phosphorylation. Pretreatments with PAF and PMA caused PAF-stimulated [3H]InsP3 levels to decrease to 115 and 136%, respectively. Staurosporine pretreatment blocked the decrease caused by the PMA pretreatment but not that by PAF. This study demonstrates that PAF-stimulated PLC activity is negatively affected by protein kinase C (PKC) activation and that inhibition of PKC activity did not prevent desensitization of PLC by PAF.

Abstract
RP and SP isomers of 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-3-thiophosphocholine (AGEPsC) have been synthesized. The activity of these isomers in platelet aggregation and serotonin secretion was compared with that of 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-3-phosphocholine (AGEPC). The results show that (SP)-AGEPsC has the same activity as AGEPC within experimental error in both assays. The RP isomer, however, is only 0.6-2% as active as AGEPC in platelet aggregation and serotonin release. The results suggest that the phosphate group of AGEPC is likely to be involved in the interactions with its receptor, at least in the events leading to platelet aggregation and secretion.

Abstract
Factors that lead to supersensitivity of vascular smooth muscle to norepinephrine during aldosterone-salt-induced hypertension in rats appear to reside beyond ligand-alpha-adrenergic receptor binding, which we have shown previously to be normal. The objective of this study was to determine whether significant shifts occur in the coupling between receptors and the production of putative second messengers. Measures of [3H]myo-inositol phosphates in aorta (endothelium removed) exhibited a concentration-dependent increase to norepinephrine, with the 50% response shifted significantly to the left in the hypertensive group (7.0 +/- 0.9 X 10(-7) M in 8 control rats vs 1.1 +/- 0.2 X 10(-7) M in 8 hypertensive rats; p less than 0.001). The production of [32P]phosphatidic acid was also shifted (6.5 +/- 2.5 X 10(-7) M in 16 control vs 1.9 +/- 0.8 X 10(-7) M in 12 hypertensive rats; p less than 0.05). The functional responses of 42K efflux and contraction to norepinephrine were also significantly shifted threefold to 15-fold in the hypertensive group (p less than 0.001), but the 50% response typically occurred at a 10 to 100 times lower concentration than that for the production of myo-inositol phosphates and phosphatidic acid. The amplification between receptor occupancy and functional responses apparently occurs beyond the production of phosphoinositide metabolites. The fivefold shift in the 50% response of biochemical end points for the hypertensive group accounted for most of the shift (sixfold) in the functional end points.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Zinc ions at micromolar levels exhibited a significant inhibitory activity toward platelet activating factor (AGEPC)- and thrombin-induced serotonin release from washed rabbit platelets. In the ranges from 25 to 30 microM and 10 to 50 microM, respectively, zinc essentially prevented any serotonin release from 1.25 X 10(8) cells/microliter by 1 X 10(-10) M AGEPC and by 0.2 unit thrombin/ml. This inhibition by zinc ions, in micromolar range, occurred in the presence of 1.0 mM Ca2+. The amount of zinc needed for inhibition was inversely proportional to the amount of AGEPC present and further zinc must be added prior to or at the same time as the AGEPC to be effective. Introduction of zinc ions after the AGEPC essentially abolished the inhibitory properties of this divalent cation. Other cations such as Cu2+, La3+, Cd2+, and Mg2+ were ineffective as inhibitors at concentrations where zinc showed its maximal effects. Under conditions similar to those noted above, aggregation induced by AGEPC was blocked only to the extent of 25% of a control. No inhibitory action by zinc on thrombin-induced aggregation was noted. It is apparent that zinc ions influence a site(s) on the rabbit platelet of considerable importance to the activation (or signaling) process by AGEPC and thrombin in these cells, as expressed by serotonin release. Zinc should provide a suitable probe to explore the mechanism of action of these agonists in their interaction with sensitive cells and to define in more specific biochemical terms the putative receptor for these molecules.

Abstract
Despite their physicochemical and mechanistic differences platelet activating factor (or acetylglycerylether phosphorylcholine; AGEPC) and thrombin, both platelet stimulatory agents, induce phosphoinositide turnover in platelets. We therefore investigated the stimulation of the phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase by these agents and questioned whether they evoked hydrolysis of the same or different pools of phosphoinositides. [3H]Inositol-labelled rabbit platelets were challenged with thrombin and/or AGEPC under a variety of protocols, and the phospholipase C mediated production of radioactive inositol monophosphate (IP); inositol bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) was used as the parameter. AGEPC (1 X 10(-9) M) caused a transient maximum (5 to 6-fold) increase in [3H]IP3 at 5 s followed by a decrease. Thrombin (2 U/ml) elicited an increase in [3H]IP3 at a much slower rate than AGEPC; 2 fold at 5 s, 5 fold at 30 s and a maximum 6 to 8-fold at 2-5 min. Compared to AGEPC, thrombin stimulated generation of [3H]IP2 and [3H]IP were severalfold higher. When thrombin and AGEPC were added together to platelets there was no evidence for an additive increase in inositol polyphosphate levels except at earlier time points where increases were submaximal. When AGEPC was added at various time intervals after thrombin pretreatment, no additional increases in [3H]IP3 were observed over that maximally seen with thrombin or AGEPC alone. In another set of experiments, submaximal increases (about 1/4 and 1/2 of maximum) in [3H]IP3 were achieved by using selected concentrations of thrombin (0.1 U and 0.3 U, respectively) and then AGEPC (1 X 10(-9) M) was added for 5 s. Once again the increase in [3H]IP3 was close to the maximal level seen with thrombin or AGEPC individually. It is concluded that thrombin and AGEPC differentially activated phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase (phospholipase C) in rabbit platelets and that the stimulation of the phospholipase C by these two stimuli causes IP3 production via hydrolysis of a common pool of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate.

Abstract
The interactions between a spin-labeled analogue of PAF-acether (designated as (0,2)PAF) and different human blood components (platelets, erythrocytes, and serum) have been studied. The rate of spin probe reduction by cytosol provided information about the internalization processes when the hydrolysis rate was also available. Although erythrocyte reactivity is lower than that of platelets, erythrocytes, because of their greater numbers, removed (0,2)PAF from whole blood faster than platelets. Lastly, erythrocytes may be more efficient traps for (0,2)PAF than serum acetylhydrolase. Criteria for extending these results to genuine PAF-acether are also discussed.

Abstract
Contrary to most agonists, platelet-activating factor (PAF-acether) induces a more pronounced aggregation at 22 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. A possible explanation was sought in the mechanism that couples the PAF-acether-receptor complex with exposure and occupation of fibrinogen binding sites. Comparison of studies performed at 37 degrees C with those at 22 degrees C revealed: a faster binding of [3H]PAF-acether to its receptors; more accumulation of 32P-labelled phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate and a slower but more abundant formation of phosphatidic acid that lasted for 5 min; a 1.4-fold increase in phosphorylation of the Mr 47,000 protein and a 2-fold increase in phosphorylation of the myosin light chain. In contrast, less secretion occurred and less [32P]phosphatidylinositol accumulated at 22 degrees C than at 37 degrees C, and also the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ content and the formation of thromboxane B2 were considerably lower. No differences were found in [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate formation and arachidonate metabolism. Fibrinogen binding studies revealed two types of binding at both temperatures, a high-affinity and a low-affinity binding. There were 6-fold more low-affinity binding sites at 22 degrees C than at 37 degrees C, whereas high-affinity binding did not change. These data suggest that the better aggregation found at 22 degrees C is the result of exposure of an increased number of fibrinogen binding sites. The increased protein phosphorylation and phosphatidic acid accumulation and the faster binding of PAF-acether to its receptors which accompany the better aggregation responses at 22 degrees C suggest that these processes are involved in the regulation of exposure of fibrinogen binding sites.

Abstract
Alkylacetylglycerophosphocholine (AGEPC) stimulation of 32P-labeled lysophosphatidic acid formation in washed rabbit platelets was dependent on extracellular Ca2+. Its accumulation was slower and required a higher concentration of AGEPC in comparison to the degradation of inositol phospholipids and production of phosphatidic acid induced by the same agonist. These results suggest that the formation of lysophosphatidic acid is not directly related to the primary activation of rabbit platelets by AGEPC. AGEPC elicited a preferential degradation of inositol phospholipids in the following order: phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate greater than phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate greater than phosphatidylinositol. The degradation of inositol phospholipids and subsequent production of phosphatidic acid were affected by pretreatment of platelets with prostacyclin or ethylene glycol bis (beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). Synergistic inhibitions of these metabolic changes were observed in the platelets pretreated with both prostacyclin and EGTA. These results were compared with effects of prostacyclin and EGTA on serotonin release induced by AGEPC, and the possible roles of metabolic changes in phospholipids induced by AGEPC are discussed with respect to the mechanism of platelet activation.

Abstract
1-O-Alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (AGEPC) induced phosphorylation of two proteins having molecular masses of approximately 20- and 40-kDa in washed rabbit platelets in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Sequential stimulation with AGEPC did not induce additional protein phosphorylation, supporting the concept of desensitization of the AGEPC receptors responsible for biological activity. AGEPC analogs 1-O-octadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoric acid-6'-trimethylammonium hexyl ester and 1-O-octadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoric acid-10'-trimethylammonium decyl ester (U66985 and U66982), containing polar head groups with methylene chain lengths of C6 and C10, did not cause protein phosphorylation, but they did inhibit the AGEPC-induced events. Thus protein phosphorylation is closely associated with the receptor-mediated stimulation of platelets and is a useful indicator of the signaling process initiated through the receptors. Other synthetic analogs of AGEPC such as rac-3-(N-n-octadecylcarbamoyloxy)-2-methoxypropyl 2-thiazolioethyl phosphate and 1-(N-n-pentadecylcarbamoyloxy)-2-methoxy-rac-glycero-3-phosphochol ine (CV3988 and U68043) were also shown to be inhibitors of the AGEPC-induced protein phosphorylation. Inhibition by these analogs was specific for AGEPC since there was no observed effect of thrombin, ADP, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and arachidonic acid-induced changes. The extent of inhibition was dependent on the concentration of AGEPC and its analogs and did not change with time after the addition of AGEPC. In platelets incubated with AGEPC analogs before and simultaneously with the addition of AGEPC, protein phosphorylation was prevented; however, addition of AGEPC to platelets shortly before the addition of these analogs showed a high response. In experiments where platelets were previously incubated with AGEPC analogs and washed with buffer containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin, AGEPC-induced protein phosphorylation was recovered to a level of 80%. These observations support the conclusion that AGEPC stimulates platelets through its specific receptor, and that the AGEPC analogs bind to the AGEPC receptor and block that pathway sensitive to AGEPC stimulation but not because of the desensitization of its receptor. On the other hand, in platelets where phosphorylation of the 40-kDa protein was induced by a 2-min preincubation with 3 X 10(-10) M TPA, 5 X 10(-10) M AGEPC-induced serotonin release decreased by 51% compared to a control value.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
When myo-2-[3H]inositol-labeled rabbit platelets were stimulated with 1 X 10(-9)M sn-3-AGEPC (platelet activating factor) for 5 s, the levels of [3H]inositol monophosphate (IP), [3H]inositol diphosphate (IP2), and [3H]inositol triphosphate (IP3) increased about 1.5-, 3-, and 5-fold, respectively. Formation of these inositol polyphosphates was strikingly independent of extracellular Ca2+. Inactive analogs of sn-3-AGEPC, i.e., lysoGEPC and stereoisomer sn-1-AGEPC, did not cause production of any inositol polyphosphate. Pretreatment of platelets with indomethacin (5 microM) had little effect on this phenomenon. On the other hand, a platelet activating factor antagonist, CV-3988, blocked the AGEPC-stimulated production of radioactive IP, IP2, and IP3. Similarly forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, at 5 microM or above completely abolished AGEPC-induced aggregation, [3H]serotonin secretion, and formation of [3H]inositol polyphosphates. In the light of the emerging role of AGEPC in inflammation, hypotension, and other cardiovascular processes, studies with platelets reported here indicate that forskolin could be a useful tool for manipulating AGEPC responses. It is further concluded that AGEPC-induced formation of inositol polyphosphate is an early response "specific" to AGEPC, mediated via extracellular Ca2+-independent phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase, and could play a role in intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and platelet shape change.

Abstract
Addition of physiological concentrations (10(-12)-10(-8)M) of platelet-activating factor (PAF) to rabbit iris muscle induced a rapid release (in 15s) of prostaglandin (PG)E2 and 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha, measured by radioimmunoassay and rapid release of 14C-labelled arachidonate and PGE2 in muscle prelabelled with [14C]arachidonic acid, measured by radiochromatography. These PAF actions are concentration- and time-dependent. The effect of PAF on PG release is not mediated through the cyclo-oxygenase pathway. The studies on the properties and mechanism of arachidonate release from phosphatidylinositol and other phospholipids in prelabelled irides by PAF suggest the involvement of a phospholipase A2. This conclusion is supported by the findings: (a) that both the removal of arachidonate and formation of lysophosphatidylinositol, from phosphatidylinositol, by PAF occur concomitantly in a time-dependent manner, (b) that Ca2+ is required for the agonist-induced release of arachidonate and PGE2, and (c) that in contrast to the rapid release of [3H]myo-inositol phosphates by carbachol and other Ca2+-mobilizing agonists previously reported in the iris muscle [Akhtar & Abdel-Latif (1984) Biochem. J. 224, 291-300], PAF (10(-12)-10(-8)M) did not appreciably enhance the release of [14C]myo-inositol phosphates and 32P labelling of phosphatidate and phosphatidylinositol in this tissue. Ca2+-channel antagonists, such as nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazem and manganese inhibited PAF-induced arachidonate and PGE2 release in a dose-dependent manner. K+ depolarization, which causes influx of extracellular Ca2+ in smooth muscle, did not increase the release of arachidonate and PGE2. The ability of Ca2+ antagonists to inhibit arachidonate release by PAF in this tissue probably reflects interference with PAF binding to its receptor. The PAF-induced release of arachidonate and PGE2 occur independently of the cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways. Whether the PAF-induced release of arachidonate and PG in the iris muscle is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and/or physiological reactions in the eye, and how much the inhibitory effects of Ca2+-entry blockers on the PAF actions contribute to the therapeutic use of these drugs, remain to be established.
