Quantitative proteomics analysis of maternal plasma in Down syndrome pregnancies using isobaric tagging reagent (iTRAQ). J Biomed Biotechnol 2009; 2010:952047.

Abstract
Currently no specific biomarkers exist for the screening of pregnancies at risk for down
syndrome (DS). Since a quantitative proteomic approach with isobaric labelling (iTRAQ) has
recently been suggested to be highly suitable for the discovery of novel plasma biomarkers, we
have now used this method to examine for potential quantitative changes in the plasma
proteome of the pregnancies bearing DS fetuses in comparison to normal healthy babies. In our
study, we used plasma from six women with DS pregnancies and six with uncomplicated
pregnancies care were taken to match cases and controls for gestational and maternal age, as
these could be a confounder.
In our quantitative proteomics analysis we were able to detect 178 proteins using iTRAQ
labelling in conjunction with 4800 MALDI TOF/TOF. Amongst these we observed changes in βHCG, a known screening marker for DS, indicating that our assay was functional. We found a
number of elevated proteins Ig lambda chain C region, serum amyloid P-component, amyloid
beta A4, and under expressed proteins like gamma-actin and titin in DS pregnancies. These proteins
are also found in the sera of patients with Alzheimer disease, which share similar pathologies of
DS. Our study therefore indicates that the iTRAQ labelling approach may be indeed useful for the
detection of novel biomarkers.

Abstract
Phospholipase D catalyses the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond of glycerophospholipids to generate phosphatidic acid and a free headgroup. Phospholipase D activities have been detected in simple to complex organisms from viruses and bacteria to yeast, plants, and mammals. Although enzymes with broader selectivity are found in some of the lower organisms, the plant, yeast, and mammalian enzymes are selective for phosphatidylcholine. The two mammalian phospholipase D isoforms are regulated by protein kinases and GTP binding proteins of the ADP-ribosylation and Rho families. Mammalian and yeast phospholipases D are also potently stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. This review discusses the identification, characterization, structure, and regulation of phospholipase D. Genetic and pharmacological approaches implicate phospholipase D in a diverse range of cellular processes that include receptor signaling, control of intracellular membrane transport, and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Most ideas about phospholipase D function consider that the phosphatidic acid product is an intracellular lipid messenger. Candidate targets for phospholipase-D-generated phosphatidic acid include phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases and the raf protein kinase. Phosphatidic acid can also be converted to two other lipid mediators, diacylglycerol and lyso phosphatidic acid. Coordinated activation of these phospholipase-D-dependent pathways likely accounts for the pleitropic roles for these enzymes in many aspects of cell regulation.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is present in human placental tissue. Since purinergic receptor agonists activate PLD in many different cell types, we evaluated the purinergic activation of the enzyme in cultured trophoblasts from the placenta. We found that P(2) receptor agonists stimulate PLD. The preferred ligand for P(2X7) (P(2Z)) receptor subtype, BzBz-ATP (10(-3)M ), induced the enzyme more than ten times over basal (unstimulated) activity, while ATP caused a much smaller increase. ATPgammaS, ADP and UTP were even less effective, compared to BzBz-ATP or ATP. AMP and alpha,beta-methyl-ATP, a P(2X) agonist that is uniquely inactive on the P(2X7) subtype, had no effect. This represents the first suggestion of the presence of the P(2X7) type of receptor in human trophoblasts that was directly confirmed by immunoblot detection. The action of BzBz-ATP was dependent upon the presence of calcium in the culture medium and was inhibited by high (5m M ) Mg(++) concentration. P(2X7) receptor subtype specific antagonists, ATP-2',3'-dialdehyde (o-ATP), CBB and the broad specificity P(2) inhibitor PPADS inhibited the effect of BzBz-ATP. Pertussis toxin treatment did not inhibit the effect. Down-regulation of cPKC/nPKC isoforms by prolonged PMA treatment (36 h, 10(-7)M ) prevented the stimulation of PLD by P(2) agonists or the calcium ionophore A-23187. PLA(2) inhibitors did not block the effect of BzBz-ATP. The possibility for a calcium influx related interdependence of PLC and PLD was evaluated. For PLC activation, UTP and ATP surpassed BzBz-ATP, while ionophore did not elevate PLC (assessed by IP(3) measurements). This suggested the predominance of a P(2Y2) receptor in the whole cell in gross activation of PLC. PLD was affected with a reversed order of potency. These results and the dependence of PLD on PKC activity implies that a restricted, membrane localized calcium flux activates PKC and in turn, mediates the P(2X7) dependent stimulation of PLD. This may have implications for physiologic regulation of trophoblast function.

Abstract
The stimulation of cells with many extracellular agonists leads to the activation of phospholipase (PL)D. PLD metabolizes phosphatidylcholine to generate phosphatidic acid (PA). Neither the mechanism through which cell surface receptors regulate PLD activation nor the functional consequences of PLD activity in mitogenic signaling are completely understood. PLD is activated by protein kinase C, phospholipids, and small GTPases of the ADP-ribosylation factor and Rho families, but the mechanisms linking cell surface receptors to the activation of PLD still require detailed analysis. Furthermore, the latest data on the functional consequences of the generation of cellular PA suggest an important role for this lipid in the regulation of membrane traffic and on the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. This review addresses these issues, examining some novel models for the physiological role of PLD and PA and discussing their potential usefulness as specific targets for the development of new therapies.

Abstract
A 66-kDa molecular weight protein with phospholipase D activity was solubilized and partially purified from rat liver plasma membrane. The activity and regulation of this phospholipase D have been characterized. Immunoblot analyses indicated that the enzyme was distinct from hPLD1 and PLD2, but was recognized by an antibody to the 12 terminal amino acids of PLD1. PLD activity was stimulated by 1-100 microM Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) and displayed a pH optimum of 7.5. Activity was inhibited by both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. This PLD was activated in an ATP-independent manner by the PKC isozymes alpha and betaII but not activated by other PKC isozymes. It was also stimulated by the small G-proteins RhoA and ARF. RhoA stimulated the greatest activation, followed by ARF and PKC(alpha). This enzyme was further activated in a synergistic manner when combinations of PKC(alpha) and RhoA or ARF were used. This enzyme displayed a greater response activation by RhoA than to activation by ARF. While a potential breakdown product of PLD1, activation by RhoA indicates that the PLD characterized here is distinct from the other PLDs cloned or isolated to date.

Abstract
Muscarinic receptor agonists transiently activate phospholipase D in tracheal smooth muscle. Muscarinic activation of phospholipase D in this tissue is dependent on activation of protein kinase C and an unidentified pathway that is not protein kinase C dependent. Cholinergic agents have also been shown to activate phospholipase D by pathways linked to the small G protein, RhoA. This study explores the relationship between muscarinic activation of phophatidylinositol 3-kinase and activation of RhoA, and examines whether phospholipase D activation is dependent on either pathway in tracheal smooth muscle. Wortmannin or 2-(4-morphonyl)-8-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (LY-294002), putative specific inhibitors of phophatidylinositol 3-kinase, significantly inhibit acetylcholine-induced formation of phosphatidylethanol and also block acetylcholine-induced translocation of RhoA to the membrane. In previous experiments calphostin C, a protein kinase C inhibitor, partially inhibited both acetylcholine-induced and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-induced phosphatidylethanol formation. In the present study calphostin C did not block acetylcholine-induced RhoA translocation to the membrane. However, the Rho kinase inhibitor, N-(4-pyridyl)-4-(1-aminoethyl)-cyclohexanecarboxamide (Y-27632), significantly inhibited acetylcholine-induced phosphatidylethanol formation, but had no effect on activation of phospholipase D by PMA. Acetylcholine treatment also stimulated the phosphorylation of the 110-kDa subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase 110-kDa subunit could be blocked by wortmannin in a concentration-dependent manner, and acetylcholine-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity was significantly inhibited by wortmannin. LY-294002 also inhibited acetylcholine-induced phosphorylation of 110-kDa subunit and activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. These results suggest that acetylcholine stimulation translocates RhoA to the membrane by a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent mechanism and acetylcholine-induced phospholipase D stimulation is at least partly mediated via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, however, protein kinase C appears to activate phospholipase D independent of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase or RhoA activation in porcine tracheal smooth muscle.

Abstract
The factors regulating the activity of cellular phospholipase D (PLD) have been well characterized; however, the cellular distribution of specific PLD isoforms and the factors defining localization are less clear. Two specific PLD1 isoforms, PLD1a and PLD1b, are shown in the present study to be localized in endosomal compartments with early endosomal autoantigen 1, internalizing epidermal growth factor receptor (ErbB1) and lysobisphosphatidic acid. Novel C-terminal splice variants of PLD1, PLD1a2 and PLD1b2, do not exhibit this endosomal localization. Studies using catalytically inactive and C-terminal deletion mutants of the four PLD1 isoforms led to the conclusion that the C-terminus plays an important part in the catalytic activity of PLD1, but that the endosomal localization of PLD1a and PLD1b is defined by the C-terminus and not catalytic activity.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are localized in various intracellular compartments and can regulate a number of intracellular functions, such as cytoskeletal dynamics and membrane trafficking. Phospholipase Ds (PLDs) are regulated enzymes that hydrolyse phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) to generate the putative second messenger phosphatidic acid (PtdOH). In vitro, PLDs have an absolute requirement for higher phosphorylated inositides, such as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P(2)]. Whether this lipid is able to regulate the activity of PLD in vivo is contentious. To examine this hypothesis we studied the relationship between PLD and an enzyme critical for the intracellular synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P(2): phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase alpha (Type Ialpha PIPkinase). We find that both PLD1 and PLD2 interact with the Type Ialpha PIPkinase and that PLD2 activity in vivo can be regulated solely by the expression of this lipid kinase. Moreover, PLD2 is able to recruit the Type Ialpha PIPkinase to its intracellular location. We show that the physiological requirement of PLD enzymes for PtdIns(4,5)P(2) is critical and that PLD2 activity can be regulated solely by the levels of this key intracellular lipid.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is a widely distributed enzyme that is under elaborate control by hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors and cytokines in mammalian cells. Protein kinase C (PKC) plays a major role in the regulation of the PLD1 isozyme through interaction with its N-terminus. PKC activates this isozyme by a non-phosphorylation mechanism in vitro, but phosphorylation plays a role in the action of PKC on the enzyme in vivo. Although PLD1 can be phosphorylated by PKC in vitro, it is unclear that this occurs in vivo. Small GTPases of the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and Rho families directly activate PLD1 in vitro and there is evidence that Rho proteins are involved in agonist regulation of PLD1 in vivo. ARF proteins stimulate PLD activity in the Golgi apparatus, but the role of these proteins in agonist regulation of the enzyme is less clear. PLD1 undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation in response to H(2)O(2) treatment of cells. The functional consequence of this phosphorylation and soluble tyrosine kinase(s) involved are presently unknown.

Abstract
The activation of PLD is believed to play an important role in the regulation of cell function and cell fate by extracellular signal molecules. Multiple PLD activities have been characterized in mammalian cells and, more recently, several PLD genes have been cloned. Current evidence indicates that diverse PLD activities are localized in most, if not all, cellular organelles, where they are likely to subserve different functions in signal transduction, membrane vesicle trafficking and cytoskeletal dynamics.

Abstract
Rat Leydig cells contain a phospholipase D (PLD), which can be activated by vasopressin and phorbol ester. In order to clarify which Leydig cell organelles that express PLD activity, the subcellular localization of two differently regulated PLD activities was investigated by subcellular fractionation on a 40% (v/v) self-generating Percoll gradient. PLD activities in broken cells were estimated using radiolabeled didecanoylphosphatidylcholine as a substrate. Initial experiments revealed the presence of an oleate Mg2+ -activated PLD and a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-activated PLD (PIP2-PLD) in the microsomal fraction of Leydig cells. The latter activity could be further stimulated by recombinant nonmyristoylated ADP ribosylating factor 1 (ARF1) plus GTPgammaS. The peak of oleate Mg2+ -PLD activity colocalized with the plasma membrane marker, whereas the highest specific activity of the PIP2-PLD activity was found in fractions with a slightly lower density than those containing the plasma membrane and trans-Golgi marker enzymes. In order to localize phorbol ester-stimulated PLD activity in intact Leydig cells, the cells were prelabeled with [14C]-palmitate and then stimulated for 15 min with 100 nM 4-beta-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) in the presence of ethanol or butanol. The PLD product [14C]-phosphatidylethanol, expressed as the percentage of total labeled phospholipids in the fraction, was slightly increased in all Percoll fractions and showed a prominent peak in the fractions containing plasma membrane, trans-Golgi, and fractions of slightly lower density. The PMA-induced formation of [14C]-phosphatidylbutanol could be inhibited dose-dependently with brefeldin A suggesting that the activation of PLD by the phorbol ester was mediated by ARF.

Abstract
Stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD) by membrane receptors is now recognized as a major signal transduction pathway involved in diverse cellular functions. Rho proteins control receptor signaling to PLD, and these GTPases have been shown to directly stimulate purified recombinant PLD1 enzymes in vitro. Here we report that stimulation of PLD activity, measured in the presence of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, by RhoA in membranes of HEK-293 cells expressing the m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) is phosphorylation-dependent. Therefore, the possible involvement of the RhoA-stimulated serine/threonine kinase, Rho-kinase, was investigated. Overexpression of Rho-kinase and constitutively active Rho-kinase (Rho-kinase-CAT) but not of kinase-deficient Rho-kinase-CAT markedly increased m3 mAChR-mediated but not protein kinase C-mediated PLD stimulation, similar to overexpression of RhoA. Expression of the Rho-inactivating C3 transferase abrogated the stimulatory effect of wild-type Rho-kinase, but not of Rho-kinase-CAT. Recombinant Rho-kinase-CAT mimicked the phosphorylation-dependent PLD stimulation by RhoA in HEK-293 cell membranes. Finally, the Rho-kinase inhibitor HA-1077 largely inhibited RhoA-induced PLD stimulation in membranes as well as PLD stimulation by the m3 mAChR but not by protein kinase C in intact HEK-293 cells. We conclude that Rho-kinase is involved in Rho-dependent PLD stimulation by the G protein-coupled m3 mAChR in HEK-293 cells. Thus, our findings identify Rho-kinase as a novel player in the receptor-controlled PLD signaling pathway.

Abstract
The formation of N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE) and N-acylethanolamine (NAE), including anandamide, in mammals in relation to neurotoxicity is discussed. Data on the characterization of the NAPE-forming N-acyltransferase, the NAPE-hydrolyzing phospholipase D, and the NAE-hydrolyzing amidase are reviewed. We suggest that NAPE and NAE, including anandamide, are formed in neurons in response to the high intracellular calcium concentrations that occur in injured neurons, e.g. due to glutamate excitotoxicity. NAPE may have functions of its own besides being a precursor for NAE. The formation of both of these lipids may serve as a cytoprotective response, whether mediated by physical interactions with membranes or enzymes, or mediated by activation of cannabinoid receptors. This suggestion implies that NAPE and NAE may have pathophysiological roles in the brain. Whether these lipids also have physiological roles is uncertain.

Abstract
The regulation of phospholipase D cloned from rat brain (rPLD) was examined in vivo and in vitro. The enzyme was a shorter splice variant of human phospholipase D 1 (Hammond, S. M., Altshuller, Y. M. , Sung, T.-C., Rudge, S. M., Rose, K., Engebrecht, J. A., Morris, A. J., and Frohman, M. A. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 29640-29643). Its expression in COS-7 cells led to increased phospholipase D (PLD) activity that was further stimulated by constitutively active V14RhoA. V14RhoA had no effect on the endogenous PLD of the COS-7 cells, but constitutively active L71ARF3 increased its activity. In contrast, L71ARF3 did not activate rPLD expressed in the cells. Addition of phorbol ester markedly increased the endogenous PLD activity of COS-7 cells, and there was a further increase in the cells expressing rPLD. In membranes from COS-7 cells expressing rPLD, addition of myristoylated ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) and RhoA in vitro stimulated PLD activity. The effect of ARF was greater than that of RhoA, although the concentrations for half-maximal stimulation (0.08-0.2 microM) were similar. Membranes isolated from cells expressing rPLD plus L71ARF3 and/or V14RhoA also showed higher PLD activity but no synergism between the two G proteins. Addition of phorbol ester and protein kinase C alpha (PKCalpha) also stimulated PLD activity in membranes from COS-7 cells expressing rPLD, but it had no effect on the activity in control (vector) membranes and did not enhance the effects of constitutively active ARF or Rho. The stimulation by PKCalpha did not require ATP and was not increased by addition of this nucleotide. No synergism between ARF and Rho and between these and PKCalpha on PLD activity was observed when these were added to membranes from cells expressing rPLD. Oleate inhibited the PLD activity of membranes from both control and rPLD-expressing cells. In summary, these results indicate that in vitro, rPLD is stimulated by ARF, RhoA, and PKCalpha and inhibited by oleate. However, in intact COS-7 cells, ARF activates endogenous PLD but not rPLD, whereas the reverse is true for RhoA. In addition, the effects of phorbol ester are much greater in the intact cells. It is concluded that the regulation of rPLD in intact COS-7 cells differs significantly from that seen in vitro; possible reasons for this are discussed.
