Abstract
Laminar formation in the chicken optic tectum requires processes that coordinate proliferation, migration and differentiation of neurons, in which the dynamics of actin filaments are crucial. Cofilin plays pivotal roles in regulating actin arrangement via its phosphorylation on Ser3. Given poor studies on the profile of phosphorylated cofilin (p-cofilin) in the developing tectum, we investigated its expression pattern. As determined by immunofluorescence histochemistry and western blotting, p-cofilin could be detected in most tectal layers except for the neural epithelium. In addition, we found p-cofilin was expressed both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. During development, the expression of the cytoplasmic p-cofilin was decreasing and the nuclear p-cofilin was gradually increasing, but the total level of p-cofilin was down regulated. Double-labeling experiments revealed that the nuclear p-cofilin could be labeled in mature neurons but undetected in immature neurons. Furthermore, the number of cells co-stained with nuclear p-cofilin and NeuN was up-regulated during lamination and 60% cells were detected to be mature neurons that can express nuclear p-cofilin just at the first appearance of completed laminae. Our results demonstrate that the maturation of neurons is accompanied by this cytoplasm-to-nucleus transition of p-cofilin, and the nuclear p-cofilin can work effectively as a marker in the laminar formation of the chicken optic tectum.

Abstract
Cell differentiation is compromised in acute leukemias. We report that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and S6 kinase (S6K) are highly expressed in the undifferentiated promyelomonocytic leukemic HL-60 cell line, whereas PLD2 expression is minimal. The expression ratio of PLD2 to mTOR (or to S6K) is gradually inverted upon in vitro induction of differentiation toward the neutrophilic phenotype. We present three ways that profoundly affect the kinetics of differentiation as follows: (i) simultaneous overexpression of mTOR (or S6K), (ii) silencing of mTOR via dsRNA-mediated interference or inhibition with rapamycin, and (iii) PLD2 overexpression. The last two methods shortened the time required for differentiation. By determining how PLD2 participates in cell differentiation, we found that PLD2 interacts with and activates the oncogene Fes/Fps, a protein-tyrosine kinase known to be involved in myeloid cell development. Fes activity is elevated with PLD2 overexpression, phosphatidic acid or phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate. Co-immunoprecipitation indicates a close PLD2-Fes physical interaction that is negated by a Fes-R483K mutant that incapacitates its Src homology 2 domain. All these suggest for the first time the following mechanism: mTOR/S6K down-regulation→PLD2 overexpression→PLD2/Fes association→phosphatidic acid-led activation of Fes kinase→granulocytic differentiation. Differentiation shortening could have a clinical impact on reducing the time of return to normalcy of the white cell counts after chemotherapy in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Abstract
In the present study the effects of diethylstilbestrol on phospholipase D activity and degranulation by human neutrophils were examined. Diethylstilbestrol is a synthetic estrogen and has structural similarity to resveratrol. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic antioxidant and has been shown to inhibit the activity of phospholipase D in stimulated neutrophils. Phospholipase D catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to yield phosphatidic acid and choline. It also catalyzes the transfer of the phosphatidyl group to ethanol forming phosphatidylethanol at the expense of phosphatidic acid. Phospholipase D activation is associated with degranulation by neutrophils stimulated with chemotactic peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. The results show that diethylstilbestrol at 100 microM induced a complete inhibition of phosphatidic acid formation in neutrophils, the latter activated by chemotactic peptide. In the presence of ethanol, diethylstilbestrol dose dependently reduced phosphatidylethanol formation induced by chemotactic peptide or by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, indicative of diethylstilbestyrol inhibition of phospholipase D activity. The results also demonstrate that diethylstilbestrol inhibited degranulation by chemotactic peptide-stimulated neutrophils. In comparison to resveratrol, diethylstilbestrol exhibits a stronger inhibition on PA formation, phospholipase D activity and degranulation. These findings suggest that diethylstilbestrol-like resveratrol, may have anti-inflammatory effect in vitro.

Abstract
Although it is recognized that the surface roughness of titanium (Ti) promotes the osteogenic differentiation, the related mechanisms and factors remain elusive. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential correlation among phospholipase D (PLD) activity, Ti surface roughness and subsequent osteoblast differentiation. The machined Ti disks were sandblasted with aluminum oxide particles to produce surfaces of varying roughness (n = 160). Normal or transfected MG63cells with PLD genes were cultured on roughened Ti specimens and assayed for PLD, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin. The statistical significance was evaluated by analysis of variance. The activity, mRNA and protein levels of PLD significantly increased in MG63 cells with a roughness-dependent pattern (P < 0.05). The ALP activity and osteocalcin production, promoted by Ti surface roughness, were enhanced by the PLD activator and inhibited by the PLD blocker. It was also found that the PLD1 isoform responds to Ti surface roughness and regulates selectively the ALP activity. These observations strongly suggest that PLD1 mediates the cellular signaling of and modulates osteoblast differentiation induced by Ti surface roughness in MG63 osteoblast-like cell.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is a highly regulated enzyme involved in lipid-mediated signal transduction processes affecting vesicular trafficking and cytoskeletal reorganization. It is regulated by protein kinase C, adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation factors and Rho family proteins, and both protein kinase C and Rho family proteins have been implicated in the metastatic potential of melanoma. We analysed PLD in four human melanoma cell lines and in primary human melanocytes. Melanoma cell lines showed phosphatidylcholine-hydrolysing, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-dependent PLD activity, which was activated by phorbol ester and a non-hydrolysable guanosine triphosphate (GTP) analogue in a dose-dependent and synergistic manner, whereas primary melanocytes exhibited only low PLD activity compared with the melanoma cell lines. As determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, both splicing variants of PLD1, PLD1a and PLD1b, and the isoenzyme PLD2, are expressed in melanoma cells and melanocytes. Western blot analysis showed that PLD1 expression was low in primary melanocytes in contrast to melanoma cells, which is in agreement with our finding of low activity. Interestingly, Rho protein mRNA was elevated in all melanoma cell lines. We conclude that in human melanoma cells, the PLD activity that is stimulated by phorbol ester requires ADP-ribosylation factor, protein kinase C and Rho proteins for full activity, and most probably represents the isoenzyme PLD1.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activity in mammalian cells has been associated with cell proliferation and differentiation. Here, we investigated the expression of PLD during differentiation of pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cells (P19) into astrocytes and neurons. Retinoic acid (RA)-induced differentiation increased PLD1 and PLD2 mRNA levels and PLD activity that was responsive to phorbol myristate acetate. Various agonists of membrane receptors activated PLD in RA-differentiated cells. Glutamate was a potent activator of PLD in neurons but not in astrocytes, whereas noradrenaline and carbachol increased PLD activity only in astrocytes. P19 neurons but not astrocytes released glutamate in response to a depolarizing stimulus, confirming the glutamatergic phenotype of these neurons. These results indicate upregulation of PLD gene expression associated with RA-induced neural differentiation.

Abstract
In response to alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) or cAMP-elevating agents (forskolin and isobutylmethylxanthine), mouse B16 melanoma cells underwent differentiation characterized by increased melanin biosynthesis. However, the mechanism(s) underlying the regulation of melanogenesis during differentiation has not yet been clearly understood. Phospholipase D (PLD) has been reported to be involved in differentiation. This enzyme cleaves phosphatidylcholine upon stimulation with stimuli to generate phosphatidic acid. In the current study, the involvement of PLD in the regulation of melanogenesis characteristic of differentiation was examined using mouse B16 melanoma cells. Treatment of B16 cells with alpha-MSH was found to cause marked decreases in the PLD1 activity concurrent with its reduced protein level. Moreover, treatment of exogenous bacterial PLD also inhibited alpha-MSH-induced melanogenesis. To further investigate the role of PLD1 in the regulation of melanogenesis, we examined the effects of overexpression of PLD1 on melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells. The B16 cells overexpressing PLD were prepared by transfection with the vector containing the cDNA encoding PLD1. The melanin contents in PLD1-overexpressing cells (B16/PLD1) were observed to be lower compared with those in the vector control cells (B16/Vec), concomitant with the decreases in both activity and protein level of tyrosinase, a key regulatory enzyme in melanogenesis. Moreover, overexpression of PLD1 resulted in a marked inhibition of melanogenesis induced by alpha-MSH. The inhibition of melanogenesis was well correlated with the decrease in the tyrosinase activity associated with its expression. These results indicated that PLD1 negatively regulated the melanogenic signaling by modulating the expression of tyrosinase in mouse B16 melanoma cells.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has recognized phospholipase D (PLD) as an important element in signal transduction of cell responses, including proliferation and differentiation, However, its role in pro-apoptotic, anti-apoptotic or pro-survival signaling is not well-understood. Involvement of PLD in these signaling mechanisms is considered to differ depending on the cell type and the extracellular stimulus.

Abstract
Granulocytic differentiation of human HL-60 cells can be induced by retinoic acid and is accompanied by a massive expression of CD38, a multi-functional enzyme responsible for metabolizing cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a Ca(2+) messenger. Immunofluorescence staining showed that CD38 was expressed not only on the surface of intact HL-60 cells but also intracellularly, which was revealed after permeabilization with Triton. Concomitant with CD38 expression was the accumulation of cADPR, and both time courses preceded the onset of differentiation, suggesting a causal role for CD38. Consistently, treatment of HL-60 cells with a permeant inhibitor of CD38, nicotinamide, inhibited both the CD38 activity and differentiation. More specific blockage of CD38 expression was achieved by using morpholino antisense oligonucleotides targeting its mRNA, which produced a corresponding inhibition of differentiation as well. Similar inhibitory effects were observed when CD38 expression was reduced by the RNA interference technique targeting two separate regions of the coding sequence of CD38. Further support came from transfecting HL-60 cells with a Tet-On expression vector containing a full-length CD38. Subsequent treatments with doxycycline induced both CD38 expression and differentiation in the absence of retinoic acid. These results provide the first evidence that CD38 expression and the consequential accumulation of cADPR play a causal role in mediating cellular differentiation.

Abstract
Rana catesbeiana ribonuclease (RC-RNase) exerted strong anti-tumor activity and its cytotoxicity was shown to correlate with differentiation stages of three different hepatoma cell lines. In this study, we demonstrate different RC-RNase cytotoxicity in undifferentiated HL-60 cells and in those that had been induced to differentiate by retinoic acid or dimethylsulfoxide. RC-RNase showed cytotoxicity in undifferentiated HL-60 cells, but not in HL-60 cells undergoing terminal differentiation. Furthermore, the caspase-9/caspase-3 pathway was activated when RC-RNase induced death in undifferentiated HL-60 cells and induction of differentiation led to a reversal of the caspase activation pathway.

Abstract
Phospholipase D1 (PLD1) is an important enzyme involved in lipid signal transduction in eukaryotes. A role for PLD1 in signaling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was examined. Pheromone response in yeast is controlled by a well-characterized protein kinase cascade. Loss of PLD1 activity was found to impair pheromone-induced changes in cellular morphology that result in formation of mating projections. The rate at which projections appeared following pheromone treatment was delayed, suggesting that PLD1 facilitates the execution of a rate-limiting step in morphogenesis. Mutants were found to be less sensitive to pheromone, again arguing that PLD1 is acting at a rate-limiting step. The fact that morphogenesis is most dramatically affected indicates that PLD1 functions primarily in the morphogenic branch of the pheromone response pathway.

Abstract
Sphingolipid metabolites, such as sphingosine and ceramide, are known to play important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, but the physiological roles of phytosphingosine (PHS) and phytoceramide (PHC) are poorly understood. In this study we investigated the effects of PHS, C2-PHC (N-acetylPHS) and C6-PHC (N-hexanoylPHS) on cell growth and intracellular signalling enzymes. Treatment of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with PHS, C2-PHC or C6-PHC resulted in cell death in a time- and dose-dependent manner. C2-PHC induced internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, whereas PHS or C6-PHC had little if any effect on DNA fragmentation under the same experimental conditions. Both PHS and C2-PHC inhibited carbachol-induced activation of phospholipase D (PLD), but not of phospholipase C (PLC), in CHO cells expressing the Caenorhabditis elegans muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR). On the other hand, no significant effect of C6-PHC on PLD or PLC was observed. Our results show that PHS and C2-PHC exert strong cytotoxic effects on CHO cells and modulate the mAChR-mediated signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of many cell types with phorbol esters stimulates phospholipase D (PLD) activity implying regulation of the enzyme by protein kinase C. Studies of the effects of several protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors have suggested that PTK(s) play some roles in the phorbol ester-induced PLD activation, but it remains unclear how and which PTK(s) is involved in this pathway. In this study, we investigated the roles of Syk and other PTKs for the phorbol esters, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-induced PLD activation in K562 and DT40 cells. RESULTS TPA-induced PLD activation was remarkably reduced in both Syk dominant negative mutant K562 cells and Syk deficient DT40 B cells. Mutational analysis further indicated that two major autophosphorylation sites (Tyr-518 and Tyr-519) of Syk are critical for PLD activation. Similarly, TPA-induced PLD activation was reduced in Btk deficient cells, but unaffected in Lyn deficient cells. Finally, in cells deficient in the PLC-gamma2, one of the phosphorylated substrates regulated by Syk and Btk, TPA-induced PLD activation, as well as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis was remarkably reduced. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that the Syk, Btk and PLC-gamma2 pathways are required for TPA-induced PLD activation in DT40 cells.

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.
