Abstract
Prostaglandins (PGs) are known to play a key role in the initiation of labor, but the mechanisms regulating their synthesis in amnion are largely unknown. In this study, the regulatory mechanisms for PGE(2) production during phospholipase D (PLD) and p38-dependent activation of WISH cells were investigated. We found that the stimulation of WISH cells with interleukin (IL)-1 beta elicited dose-dependent synthesis of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA, protein, and their products, PGE(2). Moreover, the treatment of [(3)H]myristate-labeled cells in the presence of 1-butanol caused the dose-dependent formation of [(3)H]phosphatidylbutanol (PBt), a product specific to PLD activity. Pretreating the cells with 1-butanol and Ro 31-8220 inhibited the IL-1 beta-induced COX-2 expression, but 3-butanol did not affect this response. In addition, evidence that PLD was involved in the stimulation of COX-2 expression was provided by the observations that COX-2 expression was stimulated by the dioctanoyl phosphatidic acid (PA) and that the prevention of PA dephosphorylation by 1-propranolol potentiated COX-2 expression by IL-1 beta. Moreover, IL-1 beta stimulation of the cells caused the phosphorylation of p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and IL-1 beta-induced COX-2 expression was inhibited by the pretreatment of WISH cells with a p38 inhibitor, in contrast ERK upstream inhibitor had no effect. Furthermore, Ro 31-8220 inhibited IL-1 beta-induced p38 phosphorylation but not ERK phosphorylation. The results of this study indicate that in human amnion cells, IL-1 beta might activate PLD through an upstream protein kinase C to elicit p38 and finally induce COX-2 expression.

Abstract
Mammalian cells express a phospholipase D (PLD)-like enzyme which forms ethanolamine from phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) by a protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha)-activated, presently unknown, mechanism. Now we report that addition of a PKC-alpha-enriched purified PKC preparation or recombinant PKC-alpha to a plasma membrane-enriched membrane fraction, isolated from leukemic HL60 cells, greatly ( approximately 6.5-fold stimulation) enhanced PtdEtn hydrolysis if the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ATP were both present; this was accompanied by PKC-mediated phosphorylation of several membrane proteins. The combined effects of PKC-alpha, ATP, and PMA on [(14)C]PtdEtn hydrolysis were inhibited by GF 109203X (10 microM), an inhibitor of catalytic activity of PKC. In this membrane fraction, PMA alone also had a smaller ( approximately 3.5-fold) stimulatory effect on PtdEtn hydrolysis which was not affected by adding ATP or GF 109203X to the membranes. These results suggest that PMA can stimulate PtdEtn hydrolysis via a PKC-catalyzed phosphorylation mechanism as well as by a phosphorylation-independent process. Transformation of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts by H-ras reduced the effect of PMA on PtdEtn hydrolysis. Furthermore, in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, scrape-loaded Y13-259 anti Ras antibody enhanced PMA-stimulated hydrolysis of PtdEtn. These results suggest that activation of the PtdEtn-hydrolyzing PLD enzyme by PKC-alpha is inhibited by p21 Ras.

Abstract
Many recent observations implicate choline and ethanolamine kinases as well as phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C in the regulation of mitogenesis and carcinogenesis. For example, human cancers generally contain high concentrations of phosphoethanolamine and phosphocholine, and in different cell lines various growth factors, cytokines, oncogenes and chemical carcinogens were all shown to stimulate the formation of phosphocholine and phosphoethanolamine. In addition, other reports have appeared showing that both extracellular and intracellular phosphocholine as well as ethanolamine and its derivatives can regulate cell growth. This area of research has clearly arrived at a stage when it becomes important to examine critically the feasibility of water-soluble phospholipid intermediates serving as potential regulators of cell growth in vivo. Accordingly, the goal of this review is to summarise available information relating to the formation and mitogenic actions of intracellular and extracellular phosphocholine as well as ethanolamine and its derivatives.

Abstract
Phospholipids are important constituents of biomembrane components and are supposed to function as enzyme activators or precursors of bioactive substances. Our earlier work has shown an increased esterification of neutral lipids of HT-29 cells during butyrate-induced differentiation (M. Madesh, O. Benard, K.A. Balasubramanian, Butyrate-induced alteration in lipid composition of human colon cell line HT-29, Biochem. Mol. Biol. Int. 38 (1996) 659-664). In this report we show that there is an increase in phospholipase D (PLD) activity during butyrate-induced differentiation of HT-29 cells as indicated by the formation of phosphatidic acid (PA). When the control and butyrate-treated cell homogenates were incubated in vitro with 1 mM Ca2+, the increase in PA formation was higher than in butyrate-treated cells. This PA was formed due to PLD activity that was confirmed by the generation of phosphatidylethanol by in vitro incubation of HT-29 cell homogenates in the presence of ethanol. The formation of PA was associated with a decrease in phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). This study has shown an increase in PLD activity associated with the differentiation of HT-29 cells.

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
Mitochondrial swelling and calcium cycling occurs during oxidative stress and can be prevented by cyclosporin A (CysA). Our earlier work has shown that enterocyte mitochondria contains a phospholipase D (PLD) which can be activated by superoxide or calcium. In this study, we have shown that enterocyte mitochondrial PLD activated by these agents can be inhibited by cyclosporin A. This was clearly shown by the absence of phosphatidic acid (PA) formation and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) degradation. Since this PLD specifically utilizes PE as substrate, PLD activity was also assessed by ethanolamine formation which was inhibited by CysA. CysA also inhibited the cabbage PLD activity as judged by phosphatidylethanol formation. These results suggest that cyclosporin A is an inhibitor of PLD and this may be one of the mechanism by which CysA protects enterocyte mitochondria from oxidative stress.

Abstract
NIH 3T3 fibroblasts express a phospholipase D activity hydrolyzing phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) which produces ethanolamine (Etn) in response to a variety of growth regulating agents. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of Etn on mitogenesis and to determine whether these effects require its metabolism to phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) or PtdEtn. To increase conversion of Etn to PEtn, an Etn-specific kinase derived from Drosophila was highly expressed in NIH 3T3 cells. Overexpression of this Etn kinase resulted in large (10-12.5-fold) increases in PEtn formation, but only in modest (1.2-1.7-fold) increases in PtdEtn synthesis. In both vector control and Etn kinase overexpressor cells, Etn had biphasic effects on insulin-induced DNA synthesis with maximal (approximately 2-fold) potentiating effects being observed at 0.5-1 mM concentrations, followed by an inhibitory phase at higher Etn concentrations. In the Etn kinase overexpressor lines, the inhibitory phase was elicited by lower Etn concentrations and it was partially blocked by 5 mM choline due to decreased formation of PEtn. In both vector control and Etn kinase overexpressor cells, phosphocholine (PCho) and insulin synergistically stimulated DNA synthesis; their effects were further enhanced by physiologically relevant (5-60 microM) concentrations of Etn by a mechanism independent of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. Concentrations of Etn >50 microM also enhanced the effects of both PCho and the synergistic effects of PCho plus ATP; however, in the latter case 20 microM Etn was inhibitory. The magnitude of both the potentiating and inhibitory effects of Etn on PCho-induced as well as PCho + ATP-induced DNA synthesis were similar in the vector control and Etn kinase overexpressor cells; they were associated with stimulation and inhibition, respectively, of p42 MAP kinase activity. The results indicate that in NIH 3T3 cells Etn exerts significant effects on DNA synthesis which, except inhibition of insulin-induced DNA synthesis by higher concentrations of Etn, do not correlate with the metabolism of Etn to PEtn or PtdEtn.

Abstract
Stimulation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) synthesis by the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) has reportedly been found only in hepatocytes expressing the alpha-, betaII-, epsilon-, and zeta-PKC isozymes. In contrast, stimulation of phosphatidylcholine synthesis by PKC activators, known to be mediated by PKC-alpha, is widespread in mammalian cells. In this work, various cell lines exhibiting characteristic differences in their PKC systems were used to determine the role of specific PKC isozymes in the mediation of PMA effect on PtdEtn synthesis. In NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, which express high levels of PKC-alpha but none of the beta (betaI or betaII) isoforms, PMA did not stimulate PtEtn synthesis. In contrast, in Rat-6 fibroblasts overexpressing PKC-betaI, 10-100 nM PMA considerably (1.7- to 2.6-fold) enhanced PtdEtn synthesis. In wild-type or multidrug resistant MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells, which express PKC-alpha and PKC-betaII (to varying extents) but not PKC-betaI, PMA had only small or no effects on PtdEtn synthesis. In contrast, in MCF-7 cells overexpressing PKC-alpha, and as a consequence also expressing the betaI- and betaII-PKC isoforms, PMA effectively stimulated the synthesis of PtdEtn. Finally, in HL60 human leukemia cells, which contains PKC-betaII as the major PKC isoform, PMA again stimulated PtdEtn synthesis. The results establish that while stimulation of PtdEtn synthesis by PMA occurs only in selected cell lines, this phenomenon is not restricted to hepatocytes. Furthermore, the data indicate that expression of either PKC-betaI or PKC-betaII, but not PKC-alpha, correlates with the effect of PMA on PtdEtn synthesis. Overall, these observations strongly suggest that regulation of PtdEtn and PtdCho synthesis by PMA involves separate PKC isozymes, i.e., PKC-beta and PKC-alpha, respectively.

Abstract
The effects of 4beta-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and 1,2-(sn)-dioctanoylglycerol (DOCG) on the phosphatidylcholine (PC) turnover (defined as degradation to diacylglycerol followed by PC resynthesis) and on the activity of PC-specific phospholipase D were investigated in placental mince incubated with various radiolabelled precursors in vitro. Experiments with [32P]phosphate indicated that 1 microM PMA and 125-250 microM DOCG were the lowest concentrations that led to maximal and selective stimulation of PC labelling. Moreover, PMA and DOCG acted along different time courses: PMA enhanced labelling after 60 min incubation, with a lag period of at least 30 min, whereas DOCG stimulated PC labelling after only 30 min with no further increase in the next 30 min. The following findings suggest that increased labelling of PC with [32P]phosphate in PMA-treated tissue reflects an increased rate of PC turnover: (1) the effects of PMA and DOCG were additive and PMA did not have any effect on the labelling of PC(DOCG) indicating that it stimulated PC labelling even if it did not activate CTP:choline cytidylyl transferase, the regulatory enzyme of PC synthesis de novo; (2) PMA did not increase the labelling of PC from [3H]glycerol or [3H]glucose ruling out a PMA-promoted availability of glycolytic and/or lipolytic intermediates for PC formation; and (3) the PMA effect was attended by an increased labelling of phosphatidic acid whereas there was no change in the labelling of lyso-PC, indicating the activation of phospholipase D. Experiments in which the transphosphatidylation reaction between [3H]myristic acid-labelled PC and ethanol was used to estimate phospholipase D activity showed 2.4-fold and 1.4-1.8-fold activations by PMA and DOCG, respectively, with no additivity noted. These results suggest that PMA stimulates PC turnover in the early human placenta via the activation of phospholipase D. Rapid metabolic conversion decreases the capacity of DOCG to accelerate PC-turnover and to activate phospholipase D. The early DOCG-induced stimulation of PC labelling with [32P]phosphate is attributed mainly to its known activating effect on CTP: choline cytidylyl transferase.

Abstract
Presence of phospholipase D-like (PLD) activity in the intestinal mitochondria was identified using endogenous phospholipids as substrate. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 6.5, did not show trans-phosphatidylation activity in the presence of ethanol or butanol, and the product formed was phosphatidic acid (PA). This was confirmed by separation of reaction products by high-performance liquid chromatography and analysis of composition of the PA formed which gave phosphate/fatty acid ratio of 1:2 PLD-like activity was further confirmed by the formation of ethanolamine and choline as products of enzyme action. This activity was stimulated by various metal ions; when stimulated by Mg2+ and Ba2+, it hydrolyzed both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, and when stimulated by Ca2+, it preferentially hydrolyzed phosphatidylethanolamine. There was no requirement for sodium oleate for the PLD-like activity in mitochondria. These results suggest that intestinal mitochondria have an active PLD-like enzyme which differs in certain properties from phospholipase D from other tissues.

Abstract
A prominent feature of cell damage caused by oxidative stress is morphological and functional changes in the mitochondria. The present study looked at the effect of free radical exposure on intestinal mitochondrial lipids. Free radical exposure did not alter neutral lipids, but among the phospholipids, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) content was decreased on exposure to superoxide anion, generated by xanthine-xanthine oxidase or menadione with a concomitant increase in the level of phosphatidic acid (PA), suggesting activation of phospholipase D (PLD). This enzyme did not show transphosphatidylation activity in the presence of ethanol or butanol, and the product formed was phosphatidic acid (PA). This was confirmed by separation of reaction products by HPLC. This alteration in mitochondrial phospholipid was abolished by the presence of superoxide dismutase. Exposure to H2O2 did not have any significant effect. Activation of PLD by free radicals was further confirmed by quantitation of ethanolamine released from PE. Absence of any change in the content of lysophospholipid or diglyceride following exposure of mitochondria to superoxide ruled out the involvement of phospholipase A2 or C in the altered lipid composition. Moreover, inclusion of phospholipase A2 inhibitors, chlorpromazine, or p-bromophenacyl bromide did not prevent the generation of PA on exposure to free radicals. These findings suggest that superoxide anion stimulates intestinal mitochondrial PLD resulting in PE degradation and PA formation. These alterations in mitochondrial lipids may play a role in causing the functional alteration seen in oxidative stress.

Abstract
Stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) has been shown to be mediated by the alpha- and betaI-isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC). To determine the role of various PKC isozymes in the regulation of PLD-mediated phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) hydrolysis, MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells overexpressing the alpha- and theta-isoforms, and R6 rat fibroblasts overexpressing the alpha-, betaI-, and epsilon-isoforms were used. In the vector control MCF-7 cells, which contain low levels of PKC-alpha, PMA (100 nM) had only small effects on the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (1.1-1.35-fold) and PtdCho (1.15-1.6-fold). Stable expression of PKC-alpha in MCF-7 cells, which was accompanied by increased levels of the betaI- and theta-isoforms as well, greatly enhanced both PMA-induced PLD-mediated formation of phosphatidylethanol (approximately 5-fold) and the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (2.5-2.9-fold) and PtdCho (5.5-7.2-fold). The effects of PMA on the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (and PtdCho) in MCF-7/PKC-alpha cells were significantly inhibited by 0.5-3 microM concentrations of Gö 6976, a selective inhibitor of the conventional PKC subfamily. Stable expression of PKC-alpha in R6 fibroblasts enhanced, at a shorter (10 min) incubation time, the effects of PMA on the hydrolysis of both PtdEtn and, to a lesser extent, PtdCho. In contrast, stable expression of PKC-betaI in R6 fibroblasts, which originally did not contain this enzyme, enhanced the effects of PMA only on PtdCho, but not PtdEtn, hydrolysis. Overexpression of either PKC-theta in MCF-7 cells or PKC-epsilon in R6 and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts had no detectable effects on PMA-induced hydrolysis of PtdEtn. Collectively, the results suggest that PKC-alpha has a major role in the mediation of phorbol ester action on PtdEtn hydrolysis, while PtdCho hydrolysis may be regulated by both the alpha and betaI isoforms.

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.

The PLD activity was detected by measuring the accumulation of [3H]phosphatidylethanol (PtdEt) in the presence of ethanol. PGF2 alpha stimulated PtdEt accumulation at concentrations of more than 100 nM in the presence of ethanol. However, PtdEt accumulation did not change in the absence of ethanol. PGF2 alpha (1 microM) increased PtdEt accumulation after 1 min, and the accumulation reached a plateau by 2-3 min. These results indicate that PGF2 alpha activates PLD in rat luteal cells. U-73122, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, and staurosporine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, did not inhibit PGF2 alpha-stimulated [3H]PtdEt accumulation. These results suggest that PGF2 alpha-induced PLD activation is different from PLC-PKC systems. We reported previously that PGF2 alpha stimulated the release of arachidonic acid. The effects of indomethacin, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), and 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA), inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism, on PGF2 alpha-stimulated PtdEt accumulation were examined. Pretreatment with indomethacin enhanced PGF2 alpha-induced PtdEt accumulation. In contrast, pretreatment with NDGA and ETYA inhibited PGF2 alpha-induced PtdEt accumulation. It is suggested that PGF2 alpha-stimulated PLD activation is mediated via lipoxygenase products.

Abstract
It has been reported that in rat fibroblasts cell-permeable ceramide analogs inhibit agonist-induced phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). Here we demonstrate that relatively short (30 min) treatments of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts with 15-60 microM concentrations of N-acetylsphingosine result in preferential, although not exclusive, inhibition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced PLD-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn). The results suggest that in different cell types the PtdEtn- and PtdCho-hydrolyzing PLD activities are differentially sensitive to the inhibitory effect of ceramide.

Abstract
The effect of alkylglycerol supplementation on protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated signaling events has been studied in fibroblasts from Zellweger patients (SF 3271 cells). Western blotting analysis established that Zellweger fibroblasts express PKC alpha, epsilon, and zeta. Incubation with bradykinin induced a rapid transient translocation of PKC alpha and a more sustained translocation of PKC epsilon to the particulate fraction; translocation of PKC zeta was unaffected. Bradykinin-induced translocation and activation of PKC alpha, but not translocation of PKC epsilon, was blocked in SF 3271 cells which had been incubated with 1-O-hexadecylglycerol (1-O-HDG; 20 micrograms/ml) for 24 h and then incubated in the absence of 1-O-HDG and serum for a further 24 h. Supplementation with 1-O-HDG increased the mass of ether-linked phospholipid. Bradykinin initiated a transient increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in both control and 1-O-HDG supplemented cells, indicating that the initial receptor linked events were not affected by 1-O-HDG supplementation. Bradykinin also caused a rapid activation of phospholipase D (PLD), measured by phosphatidylbutanol accumulation, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) determined by myelin basic protein phosphorylation of Mono Q fractions. Both events were blocked by preincubation of the cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate for 24 h to deplete PKC protein. 1-O-HDG supplementation prevented the bradykinin-induced activation of PLD, but had no effect on the stimulation of MAPK activity. These results establish that modulation of the ether lipid composition of membranes can alter PKC isozyme translocation and indicate that a PKC isozyme other than PKC alpha, most likely PKC epsilon, is involved in MAPK activation.

Abstract
The improved understanding of oncogenesis and the involvement of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, has led to a rational approach of specific target-directed anti-cancer drug development. Cancer genes have been found to be important not only in the control of cell proliferation but also in the mediation of processes such as drug resistance, metastasis, neo-vascularization (angiogenesis), and apoptosis. These are all important targets in their own right and the development of drugs against specific "upstream" targets in oncogenic or growth factor signal transduction cascades it may be possible to inhibit multiple "downstream" targets. Ultimately, to test the hypothesis that signaling pathways offer good targets for anticancer drug development will take several years of careful clinical study and we cannot say at this time whether the approach will work. There are a small number of compounds in the early stages of clinical development as anticancer agents that may act by inhibiting growth factor signaling pathways. In all cases the activity of the compounds on intracellular signaling pathways was discovered after their identification as antiproliferative agents. There are also compounds in preclinical development that have been specifically developed as inhibitors of growth factor signaling, although their selectivity for tumor cells compared to normal tissue remains to be investigated fully in appropriate animal tumor models. It is possible that a single antisignaling drug by itself may not have the power to completely inhibit tumor growth and a combination of drugs may be needed. It may also take a combination of drugs to prevent the emergence of resistance. Clearly there are several challenges to developing this new class of anticancer drugs, and there will undoubtedly be others that must be faced.

Abstract
PC hydrolysis by PLA2, PLC or PLD is a widespread response elicited by most growth factors, cytokines, neurotransmitters, hormones and other extracellular signals. The mechanisms can involve G-proteins, PKC, Ca2+ and tyrosine kinase activities. Although an agonist-responsive cytosolic PLA2 has been purified, cloned and sequenced, the agonist-responsive form(s) of PC-PLC has not been identified and no form of PC-PLD has been purified or cloned. Regulation of PLA2 by Ca2+ and MAPK is well established and involves membrane translocation and phosphorylation, respectively. PKC regulation of the enzyme in intact cells is probably mediated by MAPK. The question of G-protein control of PLA2 remains controversial since the nature of the G-protein is unknown and it is not established that its interaction with the enzyme is direct or not. Growth factor regulation of PLA2 involves tyrosine kinase activity, but not necessarily PKC. It may be mediated by MAPK. The physiological significance of PLA2 activation is undoubtedly related to the release of AA for eicosanoid production, but the LPC formed may have actions also. There is much evidence that PKC regulates PC-PLC and PC-PLD and this is probably a major mechanism by which agonists that promote PI hydrolysis secondarily activate PC hydrolysis. Since no agonist-responsive forms of either phospholipase have been isolated, it is not clear that PKC exerts its effects directly on the enzymes. Although it is assumed that a phosphorylation mechanism is involved, this may not be the case, and regulation may be by protein-protein interactions. G-protein control of PC-PLD is well-established, although, again, it has not been demonstrated that this is direct, and the nature of the G-protein(s) involved is unknown. In some cell types, there is evidence of the participation of a soluble protein, which may be a low Mr GTP-binding protein. What role this plays in the activation of PC-PLD is obscure. Agonist activation of PC hydrolysis in cells is usually Ca(2+)-dependent, but the step at which Ca2+ is involved is unclear, since PC-PLD and PC-PLC per se are not influenced by physiological concentrations of the ion. Most growth factors promote PC hydrolysis and this is mainly due to activation of PKC as a result of PI breakdown. However, in some cases, PC breakdown occurs in the absence of PI hydrolysis, implying another mechanism that does not involve PI-derived DAG.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
