Abstract
Dysregulated lipid metabolism is common in infection and inflammation and is a part of the complex milieu underlying the pathophysiological sequelae of disease. Sepsis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in the world and is characterized by an exaggerated host response to an infection. Metabolic changes, including alterations in lipid metabolism, likely are important in sepsis pathophysiology. Here, we designed an in vitro cell culture model using endothelial cells, E. coli, and neutrophils to mimic sepsis in a simplified cell model. Lipid alterations were studied in the presence of the pathogenic E. coli strain CFT073 and non-pathogenic E. coli strain JM109. We employed untargeted lipidomics to first identify lipid changes and then targeted lipidomics to confirm changes. Both unique and shared lipid signatures were identified in cocultures with these E. coli strains. In the absence of neutrophils, the CFT073 strain elicited alterations in lysophosphatidylcholine and diglyceride molecular species during coculture while both strains led to increases in phosphatidylglycerols. Lipid alterations in these cocultures changed with the addition of neutrophils. In the presence of neutrophils with E. coli and endothelial cells, triglyceride increases were a unique response to the CFT073 strain while phosphatidylglycerol and diglyceride increases occurred in response to both strains. Phosphatidylethanolamine also increased in neutrophils, E. coli and endothelial cells cocultures, and this response was greater in the presence of the CFT073 strain. We further evaluated changes in phosphatidylethanolamine in a rat model of sepsis, which showed multiple plasma phosphatidylethanolamine molecular species were elevated shortly after the induction of sepsis. Collectively, these findings demonstrate unique lipid responses by co-cultures of E. coli with endothelial cells which are dependent on the E. coli strain as well as the presence of neutrophils. Furthermore, increases in phosphatidylethanolamine levels in CFT073 urosepsis E. coli, endothelial cell, neutrophil cocultures were similarly observed in the plasma of septic rats.

Abstract
It is well established that lipid metabolism is drastically altered during tumor development and response to therapy. Choline kinase alpha (ChoKα) is a key mediator of these changes, as it represents the first committed step in the Kennedy pathway of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis and ChoKα expression is upregulated in many human cancers. ChoKα activity is associated with drug resistant, metastatic, and malignant phenotypes, and represents a robust biomarker and therapeutic target in cancer. Effective ChoKα inhibitors have been developed and have recently entered clinical trials. ChoKα's clinical relevance was, until recently, attributed solely to its production of second messenger intermediates of phospholipid synthesis. The recent discovery of a non-catalytic scaffolding function of ChoKα may link growth receptor signaling to lipid biogenesis and requires a reinterpretation of the design and validation of ChoKα inhibitors. Advances in positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and optical imaging methods now allow for a comprehensive understanding of ChoKα expression and activity in vivo. We will review the current understanding of ChoKα metabolism, its role in tumor biology and the development and validation of targeted therapies and companion diagnostics for this important regulatory enzyme. This comes at a critical time as ChoKα-targeting programs receive more clinical interest.

Abstract
Phospholipid-metabolizing enzymes are important participants in neutrophil signal transduction pathways. The methods discussed herein describe assays for assessing the activities of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), phospholipase C (PLC), phospholipase D (PLD), and phosphoinositide 3-OH-kinase in intact neutrophils. PLA2 activity is measured as the release of radiolabeled arachidonic acid. PLC activity is measured as the accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), a water-soluble product, using a commercially available radioreceptor assay kit. PLD activity is measured as the appearance of its radiolabeled products, phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylethanol. PI3-K activity is measured as the appearance of its radiolabeled product, phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current non-invasive diagnostic methods for endometriosis lack sensitivity and specificity. In search for new diagnostic biomarkers for ovarian endometriosis, we used a hypothesis-generating targeted metabolomics approach. METHODS In a case-control study, we collected plasma of study participants and analysed their metabolic profiles. We selected a group of 40 patients with ovarian endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery and a control group of 52 healthy women who underwent sterilization at the University Clinical Centre Ljubljana, Slovenia. Over 140 targeted analytes included glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids and acylcarnitines. The analytes were quantified by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. For assessing the strength of association between the metabolite or metabolite ratios and the disease, we used crude and adjusted odds ratios. A stepwise logistic regression procedure was used for selecting the best combination of biomarkers. RESULTS Eight lipid metabolites were identified as endometriosis-associated biomarkers due to elevated levels in patients compared with controls. A model containing hydroxysphingomyelin SMOH C16:1 and the ratio between phosphatidylcholine PCaa C36:2 to ether-phospholipid PCae C34:2, adjusted for the effect of age and the BMI, resulted in a sensitivity of 90.0%, a specificity of 84.3% and a ratio of the positive likelihood ratio to the negative likelihood ratio of 48.3. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that endometriosis is associated with elevated levels of sphingomyelins and phosphatidylcholines, which might contribute to the suppression of apoptosis and affect lipid-associated signalling pathways. Our findings suggest novel potential routes for therapy by specifically blocking highly up-regulated isoforms of phosphpolipase A2 and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 4.

Abstract
We have summarized here the importance of ChoKα1 in human carcinogenesis. ChoKα1 displays its oncogenic activity through activation of specific signaling pathways that influence on cell proliferation and survival. It is overexpressed in a large number of human tumors with an incidence of 40-60% of all tumors investigated. Currently, there is an active effort in the development of strategies to knockdown the activity of ChoKα through specific siRNA or small molecules inhibitors. Results from genetic silencing or from treatment with MN58b, a well characterized ChoKα inhibitor showing antiproliferative and antitumoral effect in mice xenografts, provide strong support to this concept, indicating that the design of new antitumoral drugs must be selective against this isoform. However, affecting the other two known isoforms of ChoK may have also therapeutic consequences since the physiologically active form of ChoK may be constituted by homo or heterodimers. Furthermore, alteration of the ChoKβ activity might lead to a change in the lipid content of the cells of particular tissues such as skeletal muscle as described in the ChoKβ null mice (Sher et al., 2006). Finally, the identification of the ChoKα1 isoform as an excellent novel tool for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer patients may have clinical consequences of immediate usefulness. On one hand, the use of specific monoclonal antibodies against ChoKα1 as a tool for diagnosis in paraffin embedded samples from patient biopsies, through standard immunohistochemistry techniques, can now be achieved (Gallego-Ortega et al., 2006). On the other hand, it has been recently described the prognostic value of determination of ChoKα1 expression levels in non-small cell lung cancer using real time quantitative PCR technology (Ramírez de Molina et al., 2007). Therefore, further research should be supported on the utility of ChoK isoforms as a promising area to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated signal transduction pathways convert signals by extracellular stimulation into a variety of cellular functions. However, the roles of MAPKs in neutrophils are not well understood. To elucidate the temporal roles of p38MAPK during rat neutrophil activation stimulated by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), we examined the kinetics of this enzyme and the role of p38MAPK related to neutrophil functions (superoxide production and chemotaxis). SB203580, a potent and specific inhibitor of p38MAPK, significantly depressed both superoxide production and chemotaxis. Ethanol and 1-butanol, inhibitors of phospholipase D (PLD), suppressed p38MAPK activation in neutrophils under conditions (1 microM fMLP for 5 min) that stimulated superoxide production; and they significantly depressed superoxide production in rat neutrophils stimulated by fMLP. However, neither inhibitor had any effect on the activation of p38MAPK under the conditions (10 nM fMLP for 60 min) that gave optimal chemotaxis. These results indicate that multiple signaling pathways were involved in stimulating p38MAPK and that p38MAPK played different roles in regulating neutrophil function depending on the conditions for stimulation with fMLP. In addition, the activation of p38MAPK occurred dependent on or independent of PLD activation in neutrophils stimulated with fMLP.

Abstract
Adhesion is a fundamental cellular response that is essential to the physiologic processes of development, differentiation, proliferation, and motility, as well as to the pathology of inflammation, transformation, and metastasis. Adhesion of phagocytic leukocytes is a critical modulator of antimicrobial and cytotoxic functions, including the respiratory burst, secretion, and apoptosis. Because phospholipase D (PLD) is linked to several signaling pathways implicated in these processes, we tested the hypothesis that PLD regulates phagocyte adhesion. Adhesion of primary human neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages to fibronectin was accompanied by marked stimulation of PLD activity. Similarly, adhesion of both human (PLB, THP-1) and murine (RAW) myeloid-macrophage cell lines to fibronectin, fibrinogen, collagen, or plastic resulted in significant activation of PLD. Stimulation of PLD activity was rapid and persisted for at least 90 min. Confocal microscopy indicated that PLD1 exhibited partial colocalization with actin filaments at the adherent interface, in proximity to the focal adhesion protein, paxillin. Reductions in PLD activity by chemical inhibitors or specific short-interfering RNA-induced knockdown of PLD1 resulted in significant inhibition of phagocyte adhesion and was accompanied by reductions in total cellular F-actin. These data support the hypotheses that adhesion stimulates PLD activity, and that PLD1 regulates the initial stages of phagocyte adhesion. Stimulation of PLD activity may promote adhesion-dependent phagocyte effector responses.

Abstract
The reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase is part of the microbicidal arsenal used by human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) to eradicate invading pathogens. The production of a superoxide anion (O2-) into the phagolysosome is the precursor for the generation of more potent products, such as hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite. However, this production of O2- is dependent on translocation of the oxidase subunits, including gp91phox, p22phox, p47phox, p67phox, p40phox, and Rac2 from the cytosol or specific granules to the plasma membrane. In response to an external stimuli, PMNs change from a resting, nonadhesive state to a primed, adherent phenotype, which allows for margination from the vasculature into the tissue and chemotaxis to the site of infection upon activation. Depending on the stimuli, primed PMNs display altered structural organization of the NADPH oxidase, in that there is phosphorylation of the oxidase subunits and/or translocation from the cytosol to the plasma or granular membrane, but there is not the complete assembly required for O2- generation. Activation of PMNs is the complete assembly of the membrane-linked and cytosolic NADPH oxidase components on a PMN membrane, the plasma or granular membrane. This review will discuss the individual components associated with the NADPH oxidase complex and the function of each of these units in each physiologic stage of the PMN: rested, primed, and activated.

Abstract
The neutrophil is a major effector cell of innate immunity. Exocytosis of granules and secretory vesicles plays a pivotal role in most neutrophil functions from early activation to the destruction of phagocytosed microorganisms. Neutrophil granules contain a multitude of antimicrobial and potentially cytotoxic substances that are delivered to the phagosome or to the exterior of the cell following degranulation. This review summarises current knowledge of granule biology and highlights the effects of neutrophil degranulation in the acute inflammatory response.

Abstract
1,2-Diacylglycerols (DAGs) can prime polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) for enhanced release of arachidonic acid (AA) and generation of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) products upon subsequent agonist stimulation. Here, we demonstrate that in isolated human PMNL, 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG) functions as a direct agonist stimulating 5-LO product formation (up to 42-fold). OAG caused no release of endogenous AA, but in the presence of exogenous AA, the magnitude of 5-LO product synthesis induced by OAG was comparable to that obtained with the Ca(2+)-ionophore A23187. Interestingly, OAG-induced 5-LO product synthesis was not connected with increased 5-LO nuclear membrane association. Examination of diverse glycerides revealed that the sn-2-acetyl-group is important, thus, also 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetylglycerol (EAG) stimulated 5-LO product formation (up to 8-fold). Treatment of PMNL with OAG did not alter the mobilization of Ca(2+) but removal of intracellular Ca(2+) abolished the upregulatory OAG effects. Notably, the PKC activator phorbol-myristate-acetate hardly increased 5-LO product synthesis and PKC inhibitors failed to suppress the effects of OAG. Although OAG rapidly activated p38 MAPK and p42/44(MAPK), which can stimulate 5-LO for product synthesis, specific inhibitors of these kinases could not prevent 5-LO activation by OAG. Together, OAG acts as a direct agonist for 5-LO product synthesis in PMNL stimulating 5-LO by novel undefined mechanisms.

Abstract
One of the proposed functions of phosphatidic acid (PA) formation from phospholipase D (PLD) activation in neutrophils is to promote degranulation induced by receptor agonists. The present study shows that the time course and dose response of PA formation and degranulation induced by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) differed. PLD activation and degranulation also exhibited different dose response to genistein and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases. Genistein inhibited PLD activity with an IC(50) value of 12.2 microM in fMLP- and 107 microM in phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated cells. It required higher concentrations of genistein to inhibit degranulation than to inhibit PLD activity induced by fMLP. EGCG in the range of 40-400 microM had no effect on PLD activity but it inhibited the release of beta-glucuronidase and elastase by fMLP-stimulated cells. These results demonstrate differential regulation of PLD activity and degranulation of primary granules by genistein and EGCG in fMLP-stimulated neutrophils.

Abstract
Human acute myelogenous leukemia cells (HL-60 cells) can be induced to differentiate to neutrophils by exposure to dibutyryl-cyclic AMP. The differentiation of HL-60 cells allowed the mitogen-activated protein kinases p38 and p44/p42 to be rapidly and transiently activated upon stimulation with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). Western blot analysis using phosphospecific p38 and p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase antibodies showed that increasing concentrations of ethanol or 1-butanol but not 2-butanol (0.05-0.5%) inhibited fMLP-induced p38 activation but did not inhibit p44/p42 activation. These data indicated that activation of phospholipase D (PLD) was required for activation of p38 but not p44/p42. We compared the effect of fMLP with those of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). We found that ethanol did not inhibit p38 phosphorylation upon stimulation with either GM-CSF or TNF alpha. These results suggested that in cells stimulated with fMLP, PLD was upstream of p38. To further test the involvement of PLD, we used antisense inhibition of human PLD1 expression. Treatment with antisense oligonucleotides inhibited p38 but not p44/p42 phosphorylation. These data supported a role for human PLD1 in fMLP-induced p38 activation in neutrophil-like HL-60 cells. In addition, the results obtained with TNF alpha and GM-CSF demonstrated that p38 activation occurred independently of PLD activation.

Abstract
Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene, Res) is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in grape berry skins and red wine. It has anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we examined the effect of Res on the formation of phosphatidic acid (PA) and diglyceride (DG), in human neutrophils stimulated by formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) or by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). We measured the masses of PA and DG by using a nonradioactive method. Our results showed that Res inhibited the formation of PA in a concentration dependent manner with an IC(50) value of 42.4 and 60.9 microM in fMLP- and PMA-stimulated cells, respectively. Res also suppressed the formation of phosphatidylethanol (PEt), thereby implying inhibition of phospholipase D (PLD) activity. In addition, Res inhibited the formation of both diacylglycerol (DAG) and ether-linked acylglycerol (EAG) induced by fMLP and by PMA. Our results suggest that Res inhibition of PLD activity may contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
In human neutrophils, the activation of phospholipase D and the Tyr phosphorylation of proteins are early signaling events upon cell stimulation. We found that the pretreatment of neutrophils with ethanol (0.8%) or 1-butanol (0.3%), which results in the accumulation of phosphatidylalcohol at the expense of phosphatidic acid (PA), decreased the phorbol myristate acetate-stimulated Tyr phosphorylation of endogenous proteins (42, 115 kDa). When neutrophil cytosol was incubated in the presence or absence of PA, these and other endogenous proteins became Tyr-phosphorylated in a PA-dependent manner. In contrast, phosphatidylalcohols exhibited only 25% (phosphatidylethanol) or 5% (phosphatidylbutanol) of the ability of PA to stimulate Tyr phosphorylation in the cell-free assay. Similarly, other phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, polyphosphoinositides, and sphingosine 1-phosphate) showed little ability to stimulate Tyr phosphorylation. These data suggest that PA can function as an intracellular regulator of Tyr phosphorylating activity. Gel filtration chromatography of leukocyte cytosol revealed a peak of PA-dependent Tyr phosphorylating activity distinct from a previously described PA-dependent phosphorylating activity (Waite, K. A., Wallin, R., Qualliotine-Mann, D., and McPhail, L. C. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 15569-15578). Among the protein Tyr kinases expressed in neutrophils, only Fgr eluted exclusively in the peak of PA-dependent Tyr phosphorylating activity. Importantly, Fgr isolated from unstimulated neutrophil lysates showed increased activity in the presence of PA but not phosphatidylbutanol. Moreover, the pretreatment of neutrophils with 1-butanol decreased Fgr activity in cells stimulated with formyl-methionyl-leucyl phenylalanine plus dihydrocytochalasin B. Together, these results suggest a new second messenger role for PA in the regulation of Tyr phosphorylation.

Abstract
Utilizing the transphosphatidylation reaction catalyzed by phospholipase D (PLD) in the presence of a primary alcohol and the short-chain phospholipid PC8, we have characterized the enzyme from human neutrophils. A pH optimum of 7.8-8.0 was determined. PIP(2), EDTA/EGTA, and ATP were found to enhance basal PLD activity in vitro. Inhibitory elements were: oleate, Triton X-100, n-octyl-beta-glucopyranoside, divalent cations, GTPgammaS and H(2)O(2). The apparent K(m) for the butanol substrate was 0.1 mM and the V(max) was 6.0 nmol mg(-1) h(-1). Immunochemical analysis by anti-pan PLD antibodies revealed a neutrophil PLD of approximately 90 kDa and other bands recognized minimally by anti-PLD1 or anti-PLD2 antibodies. The 90-kDa protein is tyrosine-phosphorylated upon cell stimulation with GM-CSF and formyl-Met-Leu-Phe. Protein partial purification using column liquid chromatography was performed after cell subfractionation. Based on the enzyme's regulatory and inhibitory factors, and its molecular weight, these data indicate an enzyme isoform that might be different from the mammalian PLD1/2 forms described earlier. The present results lay the foundation for further purification of this granulocyte PLD isoform.

Abstract
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid mediator that belongs to a family of biologically active, structurally related alkyl phosphoglycerides. PAF acts via a specific receptor that is coupled with a G protein, which activates a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. In this review we focus on the aspects that are more relevant for the cell biology of the cardiovascular system. The in vitro studies provided evidence for a role of PAF both as intercellular and intracellular messenger involved in cell-to-cell communication. In the cardiovascular system, PAF may have a role in embryogenesis because it stimulates endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis and may affect cardiac function because it exhibits mechanical and electrophysiological actions on cardiomyocytes. Moreover, PAF may contribute to modulation of blood pressure mainly by affecting the renal vascular circulation. In pathological conditions, PAF has been involved in the hypotension and cardiac dysfunctions occurring in various cardiovascular stress situations such as cardiac anaphylaxis and hemorrhagic, traumatic, and septic shock syndromes. In addition, experimental studies indicate that PAF has a critical role in the development of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Indeed, PAF cooperates in the recruitment of leukocytes in inflamed tissue by promoting adhesion to the endothelium and extravascular transmigration of leukocytes. The finding that human heart can produce PAF, expresses PAF receptor, and is sensitive to the negative inotropic action of PAF suggests that this mediator may have a role also in human cardiovascular pathophysiology.

Abstract
Human neutrophils participate in the host innate immune response, partly mediated by the multicomponent superoxide-generating enzyme NADPH oxidase. A correlation between phosphorylation of cytosolic NADPH oxidase components and enzyme activation has been identified but is not well understood. We previously showed that p22(phox), the small subunit of the membrane-bound oxidase component flavocytochrome b(558), is an in vitro substrate for both a phosphatidic acid-activated kinase and conventional protein kinase C isoforms (Regier, D. S., Waite, K. A., Wallin, R., and McPhail, L. C. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 36601-36608). Here we show that several neutrophil agonists (phorbol myristate acetate, opsonized zymosan, and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine) induce p22(phox) phosphorylation in intact neutrophils. To determine if phospholipase D (PLD) is needed for p22(phox) phosphorylation, cells were pretreated with ethanol, which reduces phosphatidic acid production by PLD in stimulated cells. Phorbol myristate acetate-induced phosphorylation of p22(phox) and NADPH oxidase activity were not reduced by ethanol. In contrast, ethanol reduced both activities when cells were stimulated by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine or opsonized zymosan. Varying the time of stimulation with opsonized zymosan showed that the phosphorylation of p22(phox) coincides with NADPH oxidase activation. GF109203X, an inhibitor of protein kinase C and the phosphatidic acid-activated protein kinase, decreased both p22(phox) phosphorylation and NADPH oxidase activity in parallel in opsonized zymosan-stimulated cells. Stimulus-induced phosphorylation of p22(phox) was on Thr residue(s), in agreement with in vitro results. Overall, these data show that NADPH oxidase activity and p22(phox) phosphorylation are correlated and suggest two mechanisms (PLD-dependent and -independent) by which p22(phox) phosphorylation occurs.

Abstract
Using a phosphorylation-dependent cell-free system to study NADPH oxidase activation (McPhail, L. C., Qualliotine-Mann, D., and Waite, K. A. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 92, 7931-7935), we previously showed that p47(phox), a cytosolic NADPH oxidase component, is phosphorylated. Now, we show that p22(phox), a subunit of the NADPH oxidase component flavocytochrome b(558), also is phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is selectively activated by phosphatidic acid (PA) versus other lipids and occurs on a threonine residue in p22(phox). We identified two protein kinase families capable of phosphorylating p22(phox): 1) a potentially novel, partially purified PA-activated protein kinase(s) known to phosphorylate p47(phox) and postulated to mediate the phosphorylation-dependent activation of NADPH oxidase by PA and 2) conventional, but not novel or atypical, isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC). In contrast, all classes of PKC isoforms could phosphorylate p47(phox). In a gel retardation assay both the phosphatidic acid-dependent kinase and conventional PKC isoforms phosphorylated all molecules of p22(phox). These findings suggest that phosphorylation of p22(phox) by conventional PKC and/or a novel PA-activated protein kinase regulates the activation/assembly of NADPH oxidase.

Abstract
The superoxide-generating neutrophil NADPH oxidase can be activated in cell-free reconstitution systems by several agonists, most notably arachidonic acid and the detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate. In this study, we show that both phosphatidic acids and diacylglycerols can serve separately as potent, physiologic activators of NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system. Stimulation of superoxide generation by these lipids was dependent upon both Mg(2+) and agonist concentration. Activation of NADPH oxidase by phosphatidic acids did not appear to require their conversion to corresponding diacylglycerols by phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, since diacylglycerols were much slower than phosphatidic acids to activate the system and required the presence of ATP. Stimulation of the oxidase by dioctanoylglycerol proved to be by a means other than the activation of protein kinase C. Instead, dioctanoylglycerol was converted to dioctanoylphosphatidic acid by an endogenous diacylglycerol kinase present in the cell-free reaction system. This conversion was sensitive to the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R59949 and explains the markedly slower kinetics of activation and the novel ATP requirement seen with dioctanoylglycerol. The level of dioctanoylphosphatidic acid formed was suboptimal for NADPH oxidase activation but could synergize with the unmetabolized dioctanoylglycerol to activate superoxide generation.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis by phospholipase D is a widespread response to cellular stimulation. However, the downstream signaling events subsequent to phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis are just beginning to be determined. Initially it was proposed that diglyceride formation by phospholipase D and phosphatidate phosphohydrolase resulted in long-term stimulation of protein kinase C. However, recent studies indicate that phosphatidic acid is the relevant signaling molecule in some signaling pathways. The present review will summarize studies of phospholipase D in the response of cells to the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate, which causes cells to mimic the phenotype of oncogenic transformation. The role of phospholipase D in stimulation of Raf-1 and prostaglandin H synthase type-2 is emphasized.

Abstract
Activation of phospholipase D occurs in response to a wide variety of hormones, growth factors, and other extracellular signals. The initial product of phospholipase D, phosphatidic acid (PA), is thought to serve a signaling function, but the intracellular targets for this lipid second messenger are not clearly identified. The production of PA in human neutrophils is closely correlated with the activation of NADPH oxidase, the enzyme responsible for the respiratory burst. We have developed a cell-free system, in which the activation of NADPH oxidase is induced by the addition of PA. Characterization of this system revealed that a multi-functional cytosolic protein kinase was a target for PA, and that two NADPH oxidase components were substrates for the enzyme. Partial purification of the PA-activated protein kinase separated the enzyme from known protein kinase targets of PA. The partially purified enzyme was selectively activated by PA, compared to other phospholipids, and phosphorylated the oxidase component p47-phox on both serine and tyrosine residues. PA-activated protein kinase activity was present in a variety of hematopoietic cells and cell lines and in rat brain, suggesting it has widespread distribution. We conclude that this protein kinase may be a novel target for the second messenger function of PA.

Abstract
We have shown previously that both 1,2-diacylglycerol (AAG) and 1-O-alkyl-2-acylglycerol (EAG) prime neutrophil release of arachidonic acid via uncharacterized phospholipases A2. Therefore, we investigated the actions of EAG and AAG specifically on neutrophil cytosolic (cPLA2) and secretory (sPLA2) phospholipase A2s. We hypothesized that AAG as a protein kinase activator would activate cPLA2 via phosphorylation events. EAG is antagonistic to the AAG activation of PKC, thus it was not expected to act via phosphorylation of cPLA2. Neutrophils were primed with either AAG or EAG and then stimulated with fMLP. When neutrophils were primed with 5-20 microM 1,2-diacylglycerol, a shift was observed in cPLA2 migration on SDS-PAGE gels, consistent with phosphorylation of the protein. This gel shift was not seen after exposure to EAG. AAG also caused a parallel increase in enzymatic activity of cPLA2 that was not seen with EAG. We also investigated whether either diglyceride would cause similar priming or direct secretion of sPLA2. Both AAG and EAG directly caused significant secretion of neutrophil sPLA2. EAG also increased the release of sPLA2 in cells subsequently stimulated with fMLP. Thus, AAG activated cPLA2 and stimulated secretion of sPLA2. In contrast, EAG did not activate cPLA2, but directly activated secretion of sPLA2. We also demonstrated that human synovial fluid sPLA2 increased AA release from resting and fMLP-stimulated neutrophils. Given that diglycerides prime for release of AA, PAF, and LTB4, these current data support the hypothesis that such priming may be mediated by phosphorylation dependent (cPLA2) or phosphorylation independent (e.g. secretion of sPLA2) events.

Abstract
ABSTRACT. We analysed changes in choline (CHO) and phosphorylcholine (PCHO) content of stimulated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) by a chemiluminescence assay to further examine the relative contributions of phospholipase D (PLD) and PLC to phosphatidylcholine (PC) breakdown. PLD activation was also analysed by measuring tritiated phosphatidic acid (PA) and diglycerides (GDs) in PMNs labelled with tritiated alkyl-lyso PC. Stimulation of PMNs with formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine fMLP; 0.1 microM induced a weak elevation of mass choline (+25% of basal level) that was strongly potentiated in PMNs primed with cytochalasin B (+350% relative to the control value of 657+/-53 pmol/10(7) cells). CHO production was rapid and transient, peaking within 1 min, and ran parallel to that of tritiated PA. Thereafter, the amount of tritiated PA declined strongly (40% of maximum by 3 min), whereas the elevated choline content induced by fMLP plateaued for at least 5 min. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) sustained the formation of CHO for as long as 20 min, which correlated with that of [3H]PA in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. PCHO content of resting PMN leukocytes (1560 +/- 56 pmol/10(7) cells) was not modified after stimulation of PMNs with fMLP or PMA for at least 10 min, which argues against breakdown of phosphatidylcholine by PLC. For longer treatment (10-20 min), fMLP stimulated a significant enhancement of PCHO level, which occurred concomitantly with a decrease in CHO level, suggesting that choline kinase rather than PLC may be activated. Unlike fMLP, PMA stimulated a fall in PCHO between 10 and 15 min after PMN stimulation, pointing to different regulatory mechanisms of PCHO level. These data indicate that DG formation from PC in PMNs is mediated by PLD but not by PLC and show that chemiluminescence measurement of choline is a reliable index of PLD activation.

Abstract
Staurosporine, a microbial alkaloid known as a potent though non specific PKC inhibitor, enhances the production of superoxide anion (respiratory burst) of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) stimulated by chemoattractants such as f-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP). To gain insights into the mechanisms of this priming, we analysed staurosporine effects on formation of second messengers issued from phospholipase D (PLD), i.e., phosphatidic acid (PA) and its dephosphorylated form, diglycerides (DG). PA and DG were measured by two methods, in mass and after the labelling of PMN with a phosphatidylcholine precursor, [3H]-1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-3-phosphatidylcholine. Treatment of labelled PMN with low concentrations of staurosporine (12.5 and 50 nM) which prime respiratory burst had no significant effect on basal amounts of tritiated PA and DG, but potentiated fMLP-mediated formation of [3H]PA and phosphatidylethanol (PEt) pointing to a priming of PLD activity. PA mass in resting PMN increased (approximately 80 +/- 7%) in the presence of high drug concentrations only (250-500 nM), with no change in basal DAG mass. Low staurosporine concentrations (6.25-25 nM) markedly potentiated PA mass formation induced by fMLP and positive correlation (R = 0.95) was found between enhanced superoxide formation and generation of PA but not DG. Furthermore, cytochalasin B, which is known to prime PA production induced by fMLP, synergised the priming of respiratory burst by staurosporine, which further suggests a functional role of PA. In contrast to staurosporine, the more selective PKC inhibitor GF109203X neither stimulated PLD nor primed fMLP-induced PLD or respiratory burst. These data indicate that priming of fMLP-mediated PMN respiratory burst by staurosporine correlates with PA formation. This priming may be linked to alteration of early signalling events upstream of PLD rather than to feedback inhibition of PKC.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether luteal cells possess functional receptors for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). We present evidence that [3H]LPA binds to a 38-40 kDa protein in a membrane fraction prepared from luteal cells and that this phospholipid is able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins (65-125 kDa). Furthermore, LPA upregulates forskolin- and LH/GTP-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity by changing its Vmax. Although a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein has been reported to transmit the inhibitory signals between the LPA receptor and adenylyl cyclase, the observed upregulation of the enzyme activity in luteal cells is not abolished after pre-treating the cells with the toxin, suggesting that a different mechanism is operative in these cells. According to the pharmacological regulatory pattern it is suggested that the modulated adenylyl cyclase isoform is the enzyme subtype V expressed in luteal cells.

Abstract
In human neutrophils, the choline-containing phosphoglycerides contain almost equal amounts of alkylacyl- and diacyl-linked subclasses. In contrast to phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis which yields diacylglycerol, hydrolysis of choline-containing phosphoglycerides by phospholipase D coupled with phosphohydrolase yields both alkylacyl- and diacylglycerol. While diacylglycerol activates protein kinase C, alkylacylglycerol does not, and its role is unclear. Yet previous studies have shown that exogenous alkylacyl- and diacylglycerols can prime for the release of radiolabeled arachidonic acid (AA) in intact neutrophils stimulated by formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. We have now examined the effects of both diacylglycerol (1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol; OAG) and alkylacylglycerol (1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetylglycerol; EAG) on the activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and the 85-kDa cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) in human neutrophils. We observed that while OAG could effectively activate p42 and p44 MAP kinases along with cPLA2 in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, EAG could not. A novel p40 MAP kinase isoform is also present and activated in response to OAG treatment; the behavior of this MAP kinase isoform is discussed. The activation of cPLA2 and MAP kinase by 20 microM OAG could be inhibited by pretreatment with 1 microM GF-109203X, a selective inhibitor of protein kinase C. Although only OAG activated cPLA2, both OAG and EAG primed for the release of AA mass as determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The priming of AA release by OAG may be explained by the phosphorylation of cPLA2 through the activation of protein kinase C linked to MAP kinase. However, priming by EAG appears to involve a separate mechanism that is dependent on a different PLA2. Our results support a role for phospholipase D-derived products modulating the activation of cPLA2, further supporting the idea of cross-talk among various phospholipases.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA), generated by phospholipase D activation, has been linked to the activation of the neutrophil respiratory burst enzyme, NADPH oxidase; however, the intracellular enzyme targets for PA remain unclear. We have recently shown (McPhail, L. C., Qualliotine-Mann, D., and Waite, K. A. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 92, 7931-7935) that a PA-activated protein kinase is involved in the activation of NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system. This protein kinase phosphorylates numerous endogenous proteins, including p47-phox, a component of the NADPH oxidase complex. Phospholipids other than PA were less effective at inducing endogenous protein phosphorylation. Several of these endogenous substrates were also phosphorylated during stimulation of intact cells by opsonized zymosan, an agonist that induces phospholipase D activation. We sought to identify the PA-activated protein kinase that phosphorylates p47-phox. The PA-dependent protein kinase was shown to be cytosolic. cis-Unsaturated fatty acids were poor inducers of protein kinase activity, suggesting that the PA-activated protein kinase is not a fatty acid-regulated protein kinase (e.g. protein kinase N). Chromatographic techniques separated the PA-activated protein kinase from a number of other protein kinases known to be activated by PA or to phosphorylate p47-phox. These included isoforms of protein kinase C, p21 (Cdc42/Rac)-activated protein kinase, and mitogen-activated protein kinase. Gel filtration chromatography indicated that the protein kinase has an apparent molecular size of 125 kDa. Screening of cytosolic fractions from several cell types and rat brain suggested the enzyme has widespread cell and tissue distribution. The partially purified protein kinase was sensitive to the same protein kinase inhibitors that diminished NADPH oxidase activation and was independent of guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate and Ca2+. Phosphoamino acid analysis showed that serine and tyrosine residues were phosphorylated on p47-phox by this kinase(s). These data indicate that one or more potentially novel protein kinases are targets for PA in neutrophils and other cell types. Furthermore, a PA-activated protein kinase is likely to be an important regulator of the neutrophil respiratory burst by phosphorylation of the NADPH oxidase component p47-phox.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin, LPS) exerts potent proinflammatory effects on neutrophils which may involve membrane phospholipid metabolism. The cellular and plasma membrane phospholipid composition of resting neutrophils and those stimulated with 50 microg ml(-1) LPS were studied by 31P NMR and chemical analysis. A rapid new method for plasma membrane purification was employed, involving the direct lysis of cytoplasts. Chemical analyses showed that, although total cellular phospholipid content did not change with LPS stimulation, there was twice the amount of phospholipid present in plasma membranes isolated from stimulated cells, resulting in a lowered cholesterol/phospholipid ratio. Since internal membranes have lower cholesterol content this result is consistent with an origin from insertion of these membranes (most probably from the endoplasmic reticulum) into the plasma membrane, thereby increasing its fluidity. The individual phospholipid classes of both cells and membranes were quantified by 31P-NMR spectroscopy after dissolution in sodium cholate without prior extraction of lipids, allowing partial resolution of the major phospholipid classes and ether-linked phospholipids. Ether-linked lipids were distinguished from diacyl phospholipids by hydrolysis of lipid extracts with HCl and phospholipase A1, There was a significant increase in phosphatidylserine in both cells and plasma membranes after stimulation, with a decrease in the phosphatidylethanolamine (diacyl and plasmalogen) content in the cells. Plasma membranes from stimulated cells exhibited a significant decrease in a phospholipid tentatively identified as 2-arachidonoyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, a precursor of the lipid inflammatory mediator, platelet-activating factor. This report is the first to elaborate the changes in phospholipid composition in human neutrophils as a whole, and in plasma membranes separated from them, before and after stimulation by the physiological activator, LPS.

Abstract
When rat polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) were treated with N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), the release of arachidonic acid in preference to other fatty acids was observed. Levels of arachidonic acid reached a plateau within 5 min, and were accompanied by an approximately 4-fold increase in in vitro phospholipase (PL) A2 and PLD activities in PMN lysates. Treatment of PMN with ethanol (an inhibitor of PLD-mediated phosphatidic acid formation), propranolol (a phosphatidic acid phosphatase inhibitor), or 4-bromophenacylbromide (a PLA2 inhibitor), each suppressed fMLP-stimulated arachidonate release. Treatment with RHC-80267 (a diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor), however, had no such effect. The cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) inhibitor, arachidonoyl trifluoromethyl ketone, suppressed PLA2 activity in PMN homogenates and arachidonate release by fMLP-treated PMN. These results suggest that fMLP-elicited arachidonate release is mediated by cPLA2 but not diacylglycerol lipase, and that the activation of cPLA2 is downstream of the PLD-dependent signaling pathway.

Abstract
GTP and AIF4- significantly stimulated the late phosphatidic acid (PA) formation induced by Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin in rabbit erythrocyte lysates. Pertussis toxin blocked the PA production. AIF4- markedly enhanced phosphatidylethanol production induced by alpha-toxin in the presence of ethanol. GTP[gamma S] stimulated the PA formation and hemolysis induced by alpha-toxin, and GDP[beta S] inhibited them. An H-to-G mutation at position 126 (H126G) induced the PA formation and hemolysis in a Co2+ concentration-dependent manner. H148G induced neither the PA formation nor hemolysis. These results suggest that the toxin-induced hemolysis is due to activation of phospholipid metabolism systems through GTP-binding protein.

Abstract
This review examines the functional role of phospholipase D in the neutrophil. Phospholipase D is emerging as an important component in the signal transduction pathways leading to granulocyte activation. Through the second messenger it produces, phosphatidic acid, phospholipase D plays an active role in the regulation of granulocyte NADPH oxidase activation and granular secretion. Many factors from both the cytosol and the membrane are necessary for maximal phospholipase D activation. This paper will focus on the regulation of phospholipase D by low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins, tyrosine kinases, and protein kinase C.

Abstract
Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells stimulated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in the presence of ethanol synthesize phosphatidylethanol (PEt) instead of phosphatidic acid (PA) and diglyceride (DG). We have used ethanol to block the production of phospholipase D (PLD)-derived PA and DG (from PA hydrolysis) to study their role in signal transduction. In MDCK cells, TPA-stimulated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis was inhibited by ethanol at concentrations which inhibit PA and DG formation. In addition, TPA elicited a prolonged increase in PGE2 synthesis that is dependent upon continuous activation of PLD. The TPA-stimulated translocation of protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) from cytosol to membrane was unaffected by ethanol. This suggests that PLD-derived products act downstream of PKC in TPA-stimulated prostaglandin synthesis. The calcium ionophore, A23187, did not activate PLD, and PGE2 synthesis in response to A23187 was unaffected by ethanol. TPA increased prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase (PGHS) activity and increased the amount of immunodetectable prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase 2 (PGHS-2). A23187 did not induce PGHS-2 and A23187-stimulated PGE2 synthesis appears to be due to the constitutively expressed PGHS-1. Blocking the formation of PLD-derived products, PA and DG, inhibited the induction of PGHS-2 by TPA. These results indicate that prolonged PGE2 synthesis in response to TPA is due to the continuous induction of PGHS-2, which is dependent upon PLD activation. In contrast, induction of PGHS-2 by epidermal growth factor was not affected by ethanol. Epidermal growth factor did not induce PKCalpha translocation nor activate PLD. Taken together, these data suggest that PLD-derived PA or DG act as second messengers in the induction of PGHS-2 by PKC-dependent pathways. The demonstration that inhibition of TPA-induced PA formation inhibits Raf-1 translocation in MDCK cells (Ghosh, S., Strum, J. C., Sciorra, V. A., Daniel, L. W. , and Bell, R. M. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 8472-8480) suggests that PA is the active PLD metabolite in TPA-stimulated signaling.

Abstract
Diabetics are prone to infection, in part, due to neutrophil dysfunction and impaired superoxide generation. The mechanism of impaired superoxide generation in diabetes remains unknown. We report herein that neutrophils from poorly controlled diabetics have impaired ability to generate superoxide in response to N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP) but not to 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Phosphatidic acid, a phospholipase D (PLD) -mediated product of membrane phosphatidylcholine is decreased in response to FMLP. The impaired superoxide generation and activation of phospholipase D are readily reversible once the diabetic neutrophils are incubated in normal glucose concentration. These data show that decreased superoxide generation by neutrophils in insulin-dependent diabetics is, in part, due to impaired activation of phospholipase D and is solely due to high glucose concentrations.

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

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

Abstract
Initial studies with a human hematopoietic cell line, TF-1, suggest multifarious effects of electromagnetic fields on lipid signal transduction. We have examined the effects of pulsed magnetic fields (2 T, 84 microseconds zero-to-peak haversine, 91 V/m induced electric field) on the cell cycle by flow cytometry. A 31% increase of cells in the G1 phase occurred concurrently with a 35% decrease of cells in S-phase, which suggests that doses of 30 or 40 pulses have an anti-proliferative effect. Changes in the lipid second messengers, diacylglycerol (DAG) and phosphatidic acid (PA) with stimuli of 2 T intensity were also dependent on the number of pulses. DAG production doubled with 30 pulses and tripled with 40 pulses, and PA levels were reduced to one third and one tenth of the original levels. Phospholipase D (PLD) up-regulation was assessed directly by the capacity of PLD to catalyze transphosphatidylation in the presence of alcohol. [3H]Phosphatidylethanol formed rapidly and continued to increase with concomitant decreases in [3H]PA and parallel generation of [3H]DAG. Propranolol, an inhibitor of PA phosphohydrolase, inhibited the formation of DAG in a dose-dependent manner with a marked increase in PA production. Examination of the kinetics of formation of [3H]choline and [3H]phosphocholine at different times after stimulation showed a rapid and consistent increase in [3H]choline, whereas [3H]phosphocholine increase was evident only 60 min after stimulation. Magnetic exposure also caused a shift in some molecular species patterns of DAG and PA which could be correlated with phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine molecular species decreases. Therefore, we propose that the PC-PLC pathway may be temporarily inactivated for a short period of time by exposure to pulsed stimuli, and the PC-PLD pathway is up-regulated based on: (1) cellular release of [3H]choline; (2) rapid intracellular formation of [3H]PA followed by [3H]DAG; (3)active transphosphatidylation; and (4) blockade of DAG formation by propranolol.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the origin of the 1,2-diradylglycerols produced during prolonged hormonal stimulation of rabbit pancreatic acini by comparison of their relative molecular species composition with that of the major acinar phospholipids. Both phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) consisted of 1,2-diacyl as well as 1-alk-1-2-acyl species. In contrast, phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid existed only in the 1,2-diacyl form. Acinar cells did not contain detectable amounts of 1-alkyl-2-acyl phospholipids. Similarly, the acinar 1,2-diradylglycerol fraction consisted of 1,2-diacylglycerols and 1-alk-1-enyl-2-acylglycerols. Mass 1,2-diradylglycerol measurements revealed that prolonged stimulation with cholecystokinin resulted in a marked and sustained increase in acinar 1,2-diradylglycerol content. Based on the relative amounts of the 1,2-diacyl species present in both the 1,2-diradylglycerol fraction and the individual phospholipids, it is calculated that under control conditions 60% of the 1,2-diacylglycerols originate from PtdCho and 40% from PtdIns, whereas under stimulatory conditions 53% is calculated to be derived from PtdCho, 46% from PtdIns and 1% from PtdEtn. Likewise, it is calculated that in control as well as stimulated acini 100% of the 1-alk-l-enyl-2-acylglycerols originate from plasmenylcholine. Further evidence in favour of the idea that at least a considerable part of the 1,2-diacylglycerols produced during prolonged hormonal stimulation originate from inositolphospholipids is provided by the observation that labeling of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate with inorganic phosphate reached isotopic equilibrium markedly faster under stimulatory conditions as compared to the control situation, which is in agreement with an elevated turnover rate. The data presented support the idea that PtdCho and inositolphospholipids are the major precursors in basal and stimulated 1,2-diradylglycerol production in rabbit pancreatic acini.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated the existence of an ATP-activated phospholipase D (PLD) in the nuclei of MDCK-D1 cells (Balboa, M. A., Balsinde, J., Dennis, E. A., and Insel, P. A. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 11738-11740). We have now found that nuclear PLD is synergistically activated by guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) and ATP in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, but these compounds do not alter the sensitivity of the enzyme to activation by Ca2+. The synergistic stimulation of PLD activity could be blocked by addition of the protein kinase C inhibitors chelerythrine and calphostin C. Stimulation by GTP gamma S was abolished by guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate). Incubation of isolated nuclei with Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme inhibited the potentiating effect of GTP gamma S on ATP-dependent nuclear PLD activity. Moreover, use of the Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor to extract Rho family G proteins from cell nuclei also inhibits PLD activity. Western blot analyses of isolated nuclei revealed the presence of the small G protein RhoA, but not of RhoB or the ADP-ribosylation factor. GTP gamma S-stimulated ATP-dependent PLD activity could be reconstituted in Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor-washed nuclei by addition of recombinant prenylated RhoA, but not by addition of non-prenylated RhoA. Taken together, these results indicate that nuclear PLD activity is modulated via a RhoA-dependent activation that occurs downstream of protein kinase C. Nuclear PLD, which appears to be a previously unrecognized effector regulated by protein kinase C and G proteins, may be involved in the regulation of nuclear function or structure.

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

Abstract
A series of studies have demonstrated a stimulus-specific defect in PMN oxidative metabolism after stimulation with surface receptor dependent stimuli such as fMLP, leukotriene B4 and platelet activating factor (PAF), whereas the response to phorbol myristate acetate was normal. Having discovered this defect, studies of the stimulus response coupling for oxidative responses were performed showing a normal interaction of fMLP with it's receptor, as well as an intact activation of phospholipase C, as measured by the generation of 1,4,5-inositoltrisphosphate, and the subsequent rise of intracellular calcium. In contrast, the formation of diacylglycerol and phosphatidylethanol was decreased in PV PMN, denoting an impaired activation of phospholipase D (PLD). It was shown by flow cytometry analyses that the hampered oxidative response was present both in single PMN and monocytes. Moreover, platelets from PV patients, whose PMN exhibit a lower oxidative response to PAF, also have a diminished aggregatory response to PAF. Thus three different cell lineages in PV have been revealed to respond abnormally to surface receptor dependent stimuli, indicating that the proposed impairment of PLD might be relevant for changes in the malignant stem cell clone. Since phosphatidic acid, produced as a result of PLD activation, may be implicated in the regulation of several oncogenes, perturbations of the PLD system could theoretically be important for the development of PV.

Abstract
Hormonal regulation of phospholipase D (PLD) was studied in isolated rat liver plasma membranes. Purinergic agents and a submaximal concentration of guanosine 5'-0-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), a non-hydrolyzable analog of GTP, synergistically stimulate phosphatidylethanol formation, a measure of PLD activity. The rank order of efficacy for stimulation of PLD activity in the presence of 0.2 microM GTP gamma S was beta, gamma-methylene-ATP > adenosine 5'-0-(3-thiotriphosphate) = ATP = ADP = 2-methylthio-ATP > alpha, beta-methylene-ATP = UTP. This pattern of activation does not conform to the series at known P2 receptors. GTP gamma S stimulated PLD activity in a dose-dependent manner, and the GTP gamma S dose-response curve for phosphatidylethanol formation was shifted to the left by an analog of ATP. Activation of PLD by purinergic agents in the presence of GTP gamma S supports the involvement of a purinergic receptor of the P2 class and a GTP-binding protein. Purinergic agents competitively inhibited [35S]adenosine 5'-0-(3-thiotriphosphate) binding to plasma membranes in the rank order adenosine 5'-0'(3-thiotriphosphate) > ATP > alpha,beta-methylene-ATP = UTP >> beta, gamma-methylene-ATP = ADP. Stimulation of phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PI-PLC) by purinergic agents, as measured by release of radioactivity from endogenously myo[3H]inositol-labeled plasma membranes, occurred in the order alpha, beta-methylene-ATP >> 2-methylthio-ATP. Beta, gamma-methylene-ATP had little effect on PI-PLC activity. Different dose-response relationships for agonist-stimulation of PI-PLC and PLD indicate that activation of PI-PLC is not involved in stimulation of PLD in rat liver plasma membranes, and suggest that purinergic activation of PLD occurs via a pathway involving a G protein and a heretofore uncharacterized P2 receptor.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine synthesis and degradation are tightly regulated to assure a constant amount of the phospholipid in cellular membranes. The chemotactic peptide fMLP and the phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, are known to stimulate phosphatidylcholine degradation by phospholipase D in human neutrophils. fMLP alone triggered phosphatidylcholine breakdown into phosphatidic acid, but did not stimulate phosphatidylcholine synthesis or activation of the rate-limiting enzyme CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase. Adding cytochalasin B to fMLP led to some conversion of phosphatidic acid into diglyceride, and fMLP was then able to trigger choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholine, and cytidylyltransferase translocation from cytosol to membranes. Inhibition of phosphatidyl-choline-phospholipase D activation with tyrphostin led to inhibition of choline incorporation. Therefore, phosphatidic acid-derived diglyceride but not phosphatidic acid alone was effective to promote cytidylyltransferase translocation. With phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate as agonist, and by selective labeling of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine, we demonstrated that only phosphatidylcholine-derived diglyceride participated in cytidylyltransferase translocation. Oleic acid stimulated phosphatidylcholine synthesis, but induced a weak increase in diglyceride and a slight cytidylyltransferase translocation, and did not stimulate phospholipase D activity. Our data established that only diglyceride derived from phosphatidylcholine degradation by the phospholipase D/phosphatidate phosphatase pathway are required for agonist-induced cytidylyltransferase translocation and subsequent choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholine.

Abstract
Intact human neutrophils produced superoxide (O2-) by the stimulation with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) even when the extracellular Ca2+ was absent (0.56 +/- 0.13 nmol/min per 10(6) cells). The production by fMLP was enhanced more than twice in the presence of the extracellular Ca2+. Moreover, the O2- production by fMLP in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ was enhanced nearly three times by the treatment of cells with H-89, an inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). The enhancement was not observed when the extracellular Ca2+ was depleted from the reaction mixture. In addition, H-89 did not enhance fMLP-induced O2- production of electropermeabilized neutrophils in which the intracellular Ca2+ concentration was fixed to about 100 nM. These observations suggest that not only Ca2+ influx but the inhibition of PKA is necessary for the maximum O2- production by fMLP and that the O2- production is partially suppressed by the activation of PKA induced by fMLP.

Abstract
1. A new specific protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, Ro 31-7549, was used to explore the mechanisms by which particulate stimuli, quartz and chrysotile, stimulate human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) to produce reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM). Also soluble stimuli, formyl-Methionyl-Leucyl-Phenylalanine (fMLP) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) were used. 2. Ro 31-7549 inhibited chrysotile-induced free intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) elevations but did not have an effect on quartz-induced elevations of [Ca2+]i. Both quartz and chrysotile induced production of ROM were partially inhibited by Ro 31-7549. fMLP-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i was inhibited by Ro 31-7549 whereas PMA did not affect [Ca2+]i. Ro 31-7549 strongly inhibited fMLP-induced ROM production, and completely abolished that induced by PMA. 3. These result suggest that PKC may have an important role in the activation of PMNL to produce ROM by particulate and soluble stimuli. However, the inhibition of chrysotile-, but not of quartz-induced [Ca2+]i elevations by Ro 31-7549 provides evidence that both PKC-dependent and -independent mechanisms may play a role in the activation of human leukocytes to produce ROM.
