Abstract
Litter size is one of the most important economic traits in sheep. Identification of gene variants that are associated with the prolificacy rate is an important step in breeding program success and profitability of the farm. So, to identify genetic mechanisms underlying the variation in litter size in Iranian Baluchi sheep, a two-step genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed. GWAS was conducted using genotype data from 91 Baluchi sheep. Estimated breeding values (EBVs) for litter size calculated for 3848 ewes and then used as the response variable. Besides, a pathway analysis using GO and KEGG databases were applied as a complementary approach. A total of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with litter size were identified, one each on OAR2, OAR10, and OAR25. The SNP on OAR2 is located within a novel putative candidate gene, Neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 2. This gene product works as a receptor which is essential for follicular assembly, early follicular growth, and oocyte survival. The SNP on OAR25 is located within RAB4A which is involved in blood vessel formation and proliferation through angiogenesis. The SNP on OAR10 was not associated with any gene in the 1Mb span. Moreover, gene-set analysis using the KEGG database identified several pathways, such as Ovarian steroidogenesis, Steroid hormone biosynthesis, Calcium signaling pathway, and Chemokine signaling. Also, pathway analysis using the GO database revealed several functional terms, such as cellular carbohydrate metabolic, biological adhesion, cell adhesion, cell junction, and cell-cell adherens junction, among others. This is the first study that reports the NTRK2 gene affecting litter size in sheep and our study of this gene functions showed that this gene could be a good candidate for further analysis.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is a critical metabolite at the heart of membrane phospholipid biosynthesis. However, PA also serves as a critical lipid second messenger that regulates several proteins implicated in the control of cell cycle progression and cell growth. Three major metabolic pathways generate PA: phospholipase D (PLD), diacylglycerol kinase (DGK), and lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT). The LPAAT pathway is integral to de novo membrane phospholipid biosynthesis, whereas the PLD and DGK pathways are activated in response to growth factors and stress. The PLD pathway is also responsive to nutrients. A key target for the lipid second messenger function of PA is mTOR, the mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin, which integrates both nutrient and growth factor signals to control cell growth and proliferation. Although PLD has been widely implicated in the generation of PA needed for mTOR activation, it is becoming clear that PA generated via the LPAAT and DGK pathways is also involved in the regulation of mTOR. In this minireview, we highlight the coordinated maintenance of intracellular PA levels that regulate mTOR signals stimulated by growth factors and nutrients, including amino acids, lipids, glucose, and Gln. Emerging evidence indicates compensatory increases in one source of PA when another source is compromised, highlighting the importance of being able to adapt to stressful conditions that interfere with PA production. The regulation of PA levels has important implications for cancer cells that depend on PA and mTOR activity for survival.

Abstract
It is well recognized that mechanical signals play a critical role in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass, and the maintenance of muscle mass is essential for mobility, disease prevention and quality of life. Furthermore, over the last 15 years it has become established that signaling through a protein kinase called the mammalian (or mechanistic) target of rapamycin (mTOR) is essential for mechanically-induced changes in protein synthesis and muscle mass, however, the mechanism(s) via which mechanical stimuli regulate mTOR signaling have not been defined. Nonetheless, advancements are being made, and an emerging body of evidence suggests that the late endosome/lysosomal (LEL) system might play a key role in this process. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to summarize this body of evidence. Specifically, we will first explain why the Ras homologue enriched in brain (Rheb) and phosphatidic acid (PA) are considered to be direct activators of mTOR signaling. We will then describe the process of endocytosis and its involvement in the formation of LEL structures, as well as the evidence which indicates that mTOR and its direct activators (Rheb and PA) are all enriched at the LEL. Finally, we will summarize the evidence that has implicated the LEL in the regulation of mTOR by various growth regulatory inputs such as amino acids, growth factors and mechanical stimuli.

Abstract
The proliferation of astrocytes during early brain development is driven by growth factors and is accompanied by the activation of phospholipase D (PLD). Ethanol disrupts PLD signaling in astrocytes, a process which may contribute to delayed brain growth of fetuses exposed to alcohol during pregnancy. We here report that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a strong mitogen for rat astrocytes (EC50 0.2 μg/ml) and a strong stimulator of astroglial PLD activity; both effects are inhibited by ethanol and 1-butanol, but not t-butanol, suggesting participation of PLD. Downregulation of PLD1 and exposure to the PLD1 inhibitor VU0359595 attenuated PLD activity and strongly reduced the mitogenic activity of serum and IGF-1. The PLD2 inhibitor VU0285655-1 also reduced PLD activity but had lesser effects on IGF-1-driven proliferation. PLD2 down-regulation affected serum - but not IGF-1-induced proliferation. In separate experiments, alcohol treatment of murine astrocytes taken from PLD-deficient animals revealed an insensitivity of PLD1(-/-) cells to 1-butanol whereas PLD2(-/-) cells were not affected. We conclude that astroglial proliferation induced by IGF-1 is critically dependent on the PLD signaling pathway, with a stronger contribution from PLD1 than PLD2. The teratogenic effects of ethanol may be explained, at least in part, by disruption of the IGF1-PLD signaling pathway.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to generate the lipid second messenger phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline. PLD regulation in cells falls into two major signaling categories. One is via growth factors/mitogens, such as EGF, PDGF, insulin, and serum, and implicates tyrosine kinases; the other is via the small GTPase proteins Arf and Rho. We summarize here our lab's and other groups' contributions to those pathways and introduce several novel concepts. For the mitogen-induced signaling, new data indicate that an increase in cell transformation in PLD2-overexpressing cells is due to an increase of de novo DNA synthesis induced by PLD2, with the specific tyrosine residues involved in those functions being Y and Y. Recent research has also implicated Grb2 in tyrosine phosphorylation of PLD2 that also involves Sos and the ERK pathway. The targets of phosphorylation within the PLD2 molecule that are key to its regulation have recently been precisely mapped. They are Y, Y, and Y and the responsible kinases are, respectively, EGFR, JAK3, and Src. Y is an inhibitory site and its phosphorylation explains the low PLD2 activity that exists in low-invasive MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Advances along the small GTPase front have implicated cell migration, as PLD1 and PLD2 cause an increase in chemotaxis of leukocytes and inflammation. PA is necessary for full chemotaxis. PA enriches the localization of the atypical guanine exchange factor (GEF), DOCK2, at the leading edge of polarized neutrophils. Further, extracellular PA serves as a neutrophil chemoattractant; PA enters the cell and activates the mTOR/S6K pathway (specifically, S6K). A clear connection between PLD with the mTOR/S6K pathway has been established, in that PA binds to mTOR and also binds to S6K independently of mTOR. Lastly, there is evidence in the upstream direction of cell signaling that mTOR and S6K keep PLD2 gene expression function down-regulated in basal conditions. In summary, the involvement of PLD2 in cell signaling continues to expand geometrically. It involves gene transcription, mitogenic and cell migration effects as seen in normal growth, tumor development, and inflammation.

Abstract
Phospholipase D2 (PLD2) overexpression in mammalian cells results in cell transformation. We have hypothesized that this is due to an increase of de novo DNA synthesis. We show here that overexpression of PLD2-WT leads to an increased DNA synthesis, as measured by the expression levels of the proliferation markers PCNA, p27(KIP1) and phospho-histone-3. The enhancing effect was even higher with phosphorylation-deficient PLD2-Y179F and PLD2-Y511F mutants. The mechanism for this did not involve the enzymatic activity of the lipase, but, rather, the presence of the protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45, as silencing with siRNA for CD45 abrogated the effect. The two Y-->F mutants had in common a YxN consensus site that, in the phosphorylated counterparts, could be recognized by SH2-bearing proteins, such as Grb2. Even though Y179F and Y511F cannot bind Grb2, they could still find other protein partners, one of which, we have reasoned, could be CD45 itself. Affinity purified PLD2 is indeed activated by Grb2 and deactivated by CD45 in vitro. We concluded that phosphorylated PLD2, aided by Grb2, mediates lipase activity, whereas dephosphorylated PLD2 mediates an induction of cell proliferation, and the specific residues involved in this newly discovered regulation of PLD2 are Y(179) and Y(511).

Abstract
During the past decade elevated phospholipase D (PLD) activity has been reported in virtually all cancers where it has been examined. PLD catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to generate the lipid second messenger phosphatidic acid (PA). While many targets of PA signaling have been identified, the most critical target of PA in cancer cells is likely to be mTOR - the mammalian target of rapamycin. mTOR has been widely implicated in signals that suppress apoptotic programs in cancer cells - frequently referred to as survival signals. mTOR exists as two multi-component complexes known as mTORC1 and mTORC2. Recent data has revealed that PA is required for the stability of both mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes - and therefore also required for the kinase activity of both mTORC1 and mTORC2. PA interacts with mTOR in a manner that is competitive with rapamycin, and as a consequence, elevated PLD activity confers rapamycin resistance - a point that has been largely overlooked in clinical trials involving rapamycin-based strategies. The earliest genetic changes occurring in an emerging tumor are generally ones that suppress default apoptotic programs that likely represent the first line of defense of cancer. Targeting survival signals in human cancers represents a rational anti-cancer therapeutic strategy. Therefore, understanding the signals that regulate PA levels and how PA impacts upon mTOR could be important for developing strategies to de-repress the survival signals that suppress apoptosis. This review summarizes the role of PA in regulating the mTOR-mediated signals that promote cancer cell survival.

Abstract
Background RET/PTC (rearranged in transformation/papillary thyroid carcinomas) gene rearrangements are the most frequent genetic alterations identified in papillary thyroid carcinoma. Although it has been established that RET/PTC kinase plays a crucial role in intracellular signaling pathways that regulate cellular transformation, growth, and proliferation in thyroid epithelial cells, the upstream signaling that leads to the activation of RET/PTC is largely unknown. Based on the observation of high levels of PLD expression in human papillary thyroid cancer tissues, we investigated whether PLD plays a role in the regulating the RET/PTC-induced STAT3 activation. Methods Cancer tissue samples were obtained from papillary thyroid cancer patients (n = 6). The expression level of PLD was examined using immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Direct interaction between RET/PTC and PLD was analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation assay. PLD activity was assessed by measuring the formation of [3H]phosphatidylbutanol, the product of PLD-mediated transphosphatidylation, in the presence of n-butanol. The transcriptional activity of STAT3 was assessed by m67 luciferase reporter assay. Results In human papillary thyroid cancer, the expression levels of PLD2 protein were higher than those in the corresponding paired normal tissues. PLD and RET/PTC could be co-immunoprecipitated from cells where each protein was over-expressed. In addition, the activation of PLD by pervanadate triggered phosphorylation of tyrosine 705 residue on STAT-3, and its phosphorylation was dramatically higher in TPC-1 cells (from papillary carcinoma) that have an endogenous RET/PTC1 than in ARO cells (from anaplastic carcinoma) without alteration of total STAT-3 expression. Moreover, the RET/PTC-mediated transcriptional activation of STAT-3 was synergistically increased by over-expression of PLD, whereas the PLD activity as a lipid hydrolyzing enzyme was not affected by RET/PTC. Conclusion These findings led us to suggest that the PLD synergistically functions to activate the STAT3 signaling by interacting directly with the thyroid oncogenic kinase RET/PTC.

Abstract
While a mother's excessive alcohol consumption during pregnancy is known to have adverse effects on fetal neural development, little is known about the underlying mechanism of these effects. In order to investigate these mechanisms, we investigated the toxic effect of ethanol (ETOH) on neural stem/precursor cell (NSC) proliferation. In cultures of NSCs, phospholipase D (PLD) is activated following stimulation with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). Exposure of NSCs to ETOH suppresses cell proliferation, while it has no effect on cell death. Phosphatidic acid (PA), which is a signaling messenger produced by PLD, reverses ETOH inhibition of NSC proliferation. Blocking the PLD signal by 1-butanol suppresses the proliferation. ETOH-induced suppression of NSC proliferation and the protective effect of PA for ETOH-induced suppression are mediated through extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling. These results indicate that exposure to ETOH impairs NSC proliferation by altering the PLD signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE FTY720, a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier, is a potential immuno-therapy for multiple sclerosis. Our objective was to assess the effect of FTY720 on process extension, differentiation, and survival of human oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), and link the functional effects with S1P receptor expression and signaling. METHODS Functional assays and receptor expression studies were conducted on A2B5+ OPCs derived from the human fetal central nervous system. Cells were treated with physiologically relevant concentrations of the active phosphorylated form of FTY720. S1P receptor/signaling modulators were used to elucidate the basis of the FTY720-induced functional responses. RESULTS Short-term (1 day) FTY720 treatment caused initial process retraction that was reversed by uncoupling S1P3 and 5 from their G protein using suramin, and with a Rho-kinase inhibitor H1152. Retraction was associated with RhoA-mediated cytoskeletal signaling and with inhibition of OPC differentiation into more mature phenotypes. Continued FTY720 treatment (2 days) induced process extension and enhanced cell survival associated with increased extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 phosphorylation, mimicked with the S1P1-specific agonist SEW2871, but not reversed with suramin. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that FTY720 induced reciprocal and cyclic modulation of S1P1 and S1P5 messenger RNA levels. The observed initial downregulation of S1P5 and subsequently of S1P1 messenger RNA supports functional responses being mediated sequentially by S1P5- and later S1P1-associated signaling. INTERPRETATION FTY720 induces time-dependent modulation of S1P receptors on human OPCs with consequent functional responses that are directly relevant for the remyelination process.

Abstract
We reported recently that sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a novel regulator of aldosterone secretion in zona glomerulosa cells of adrenal glands and that phospholipase D (PLD) is implicated in this process. We now show that S1P causes the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB) and extracellularly regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK 1/2), which is an indication of their activation, in these cells. These effects are probably mediated through the interaction of S1P with the Gi protein-coupled receptors S1P1/3, as pretreatment with pertussis toxin or with the S1P1/3 antagonist VPC 23019 completely abolished the phosphorylation of these kinases. Inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) or mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) blocked S1P-stimulated aldosterone secretion. This inhibition was only partial when the cells were incubated independently with inhibitors of each pathway. However, aldosterone output was completely blocked when the cells were pretreated with LY 294002 and PD 98059 simultaneously. These inhibitors also blocked PLD activation, which indicates that this enzyme is downstream of PI3K and MEK in this system. We propose a working model for S1P in which stimulation of the PI3K/PKB and MEK/ERK pathways leads to the stimulation of PLD and aldosterone secretion.

Abstract
Phospholipase D is suspected to play a role in tumorigenesis, and the inhibition of phospholipase D has been associated with changes in several cellular events including invasion and migration. We report here that the specific alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor agonist, phenylepherine, signals to a growth factor pathway in a manner that requires phospholipase D activity in CCL39 fibroblasts. Phenylepherine increased extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation eightfold and promoted stress fiber formation threefold. Stress fiber formation was blocked when extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation was inhibited. Stimulation of CCL39 fibroblasts by phenylepherine increased the rate of wound healing fourfold in a wounding assay, while treatment with the MEK inhibitor, PD98059 reduced the closure of phenylepherine-induced wound healing to control levels. Addition of 1-butanol but not 2-butanol inhibited extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation by phenylepherine, presumably by blocking the formation of phosphatidic acid. Exogenously added cell permeable phosphatidic acid increased extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation in a time- and dose-dependent manner as well as stimulated the formation of stress fibers. 1-butanol also significantly inhibited the ability of phenylepherine to stimulate stress fiber formation and wound healing. Taken together, these results indicate a novel role for phospholipase D in the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase growth factor pathway to stimulate early cellular events induced by phenylepherine.

Van Kolen K, Gilany K, Moens L, Esmans EL, Slegers H. P2Y12 receptor signalling towards PKB proceeds through IGF-I receptor cross-talk and requires activation of Src, Pyk2 and Rap1.

Abstract
Previously it was shown that stimulation of the P2Y12 receptor activates PKB signalling in C6 glioma cells [K. Van Kolen and H. Slegers, J. Neurochem. 89, 442.]. In the present study, the mechanisms involved in this response were further elucidated. In cells transfected with the Gbetagamma-scavenger beta-ARK1/GRK2 or Rap1GAPII, stimulation with 2MeSADP failed to enhance PKB phosphorylation demonstrating that the signalling proceeds through Gbetagamma-subunits and Rap1. Moreover, Rap1-GTP pull-down assays revealed that P2Y12 receptor stimulation induced a rapid activation of Rap1. Treatment of cells with the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM and inhibition of Src and PLD2 with PP2 or 1-butanol, respectively, abrogated P2Y12 receptor-mediated activation of Rap1 and PKB. In addition inhibition of PKCzeta decreased basal and 2MeSADP-stimulated phosphorylation of PKB indicating a role for this PKC isoform in PKB signalling. Although the increased PKB phosphorylation was abolished in the presence of the IGF-I receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG 1024, 2MeSADP did not significantly increase receptor phosphorylation. Nevertheless, phosphorylation of a 120 kDa IGF-I receptor-associated protein was observed. The latter protein was identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS as the proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) that co-operates with Src in a PLD2-dependent manner. Consistent with the signalling towards Rap1 and PKB, activation of Pyk2 was abrogated by Ca2+ chelation, inhibition of PLD2 and IGF-I receptor tyrosine kinase activity. In conclusion, the data reveal a novel type of cross-talk between P2Y12 and IGF-I receptors that proceeds through Gbetagamma-, Ca2+-and PLD2-dependent activation of the Pyk2/Src pathway resulting in GTP-loading of Rap1 required for an increased PKB phosphorylation.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidic acid and choline, plays key roles in cellular signal transduction by mediating extracellular stimuli including hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, cytokines and extracellular matrix molecules. The molecular mechanisms by which domains regulate the activity of PLD - especially the phox homology (PX) domain - have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we have examined the properties of the PX domains of PLD1 and PLD2 in terms of phosphoinositide binding and PLD activity regulation. Interestingly, the PX domain of PLD1, but not that of PLD2, was found to specifically interact with phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3). We found that mutation of the conserved arginine at position 179 of the PLD1 PX domain to lysine or to alanine (R179A or R179K, respectively) disrupts PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding. In NIH-3T3 cells, the EGFP-PLD1 PX wild-type domain, but not the two mutants, localized to the plasma membrane after 5-minute treatment with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). The enzymatic activity of PLD1 was stimulated by adding PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in vitro. Treatment with PDGF resulted in the significant increase of PLD1 activity and phosphorylation of the downstream extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), which was blocked by pre-treatment of HEK 293 cells with phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor after the endogenous PLD2 had been depleted by siRNA specific for PLD2. Nevertheless, both PLD1 mutants (which cannot interact with PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) did not respond to treatment with PDGF. Moreover, PLD1 was activated in HepG2 cells stably expressing the Y40/51 mutant of PDGF receptor that is required for the binding with PI3K. Our results suggest that the PLD1 PX domain enables PLD1 to mediate signal transduction via ERK1/2 by providing a direct binding site for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and by activating PLD1.

Abstract
Naturally occurring single nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified in human CX3CR1, the chemokine receptor for fractalkine (FKN/CX3CL1). Individuals carrying the I249/M280 variant of CX3CR1 have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared with those homozygous for the common variant (V249/T280). The precise molecular basis for this phenotype is unclear, although differences in FKN binding, adhesive properties, and signaling efficiency between the CX3CR1 variants have been reported. FKN binding to CX3CR1 leads to an increase in intracellular calcium, actin rearrangement, and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways. Regulation of these signaling pathways underlies the known roles for FKN in cell survival, proliferation, and migration. In the present study, we demonstrate that FKN stimulates phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) in Chinese hamster ovary cells individually expressing the naturally occurring variants of human CX3CR1-, as well as rat CX3CR1-, but not in murine CX3CR1-expressing cells. Substitution of Pro326 in the C terminus of murine CX3CR1 with Ser (residue found in the analogous position of human CX3CR1) produced a mutant receptor that mimicked the human receptor in its ability to stimulate the phosphorylation of both Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase in a time-, PI3K-, and pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein-dependent manner. These results identify a critical structural determinant of CX3CR1 important for activation of downstream signaling pathways.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is known to play a role in vesicle transport through the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to produce the bioactive lipid, phosphatidic acid. Lipid droplets (LDs) are surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids, including PC and its lyso derivative, and exhibit a number of signaling proteins. Our recent report suggests that the association of adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) to LDs is regulated by an ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1)-dependent mechanism. In the present study, we found an increase in PLD activity accompanied with LD formation in oleic acid-treated NIH3T3 cells. Brefeldin A, an inhibitor of ARF-GEFs, suppressed both PLD activation and LD formation in oleic acid-treated cells. PLD1, but not PLD2, was found to exist in LDs by immunocytochemical analysis. Furthermore, co-existence of PLD1, Arf1, and ADRP was observed in the LD-enriched subcellular fractions obtained from oleic acid-treated NIH3T3 cells by Western blot analysis. PLD1 activity in the LD-enriched fractions was stimulated by exogenously added Arf1. Although LDs were induced in either PLD1- or PLD2-overexpressing CHO cells by oleic acid treatment, the stimulation of PLD activity was observed only in PLD1-CHO cells. Taken together, the data suggest that the activation of Arf1-dependent PLD1 occurs in LDs and may be involved in their physiological function.

Abstract
Glucose uptake by cells in response to stimulation with either IGF-1 or insulin is associated with the translocation of GLUT (glucose transporter) proteins from intracellular cytoplasmic compartments to the plasma membrane. In response to such stimulation, GLUT4 and GLUT1 translocation to the plasma membrane is triggered through an increase in their exocytosis involving phospholipase D (PLD) activation, disrupting the recycling of intracellular GLUT-containing vesicles between the plasma membrane and internal compartments. In skeletal muscle, insulin resistance is observed in association with an increase of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine, which is also known to interact with PLD. Based on evidence that the recycling process is important for GLUT translocation, we decided to address whether dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine, a non-translocatable phospholipid known to alter the recycling of intracellular vesicles and to interact with PLD, can be involved in glucose metabolism. We show that an acute change in phospholipid composition, by addition of dipalmitoyl-phophatidylcholine, leads to GLUT1 translocation to the plasma membrane in conjunction to an increase of Akt and GSK3beta phosphorylation, which are sensitive to PI3K and PLD inhibitors. Moreover, we also show that long-term change in phospholipid composition disrupts both the IGF-1 signalling pathway and GLUT1 partitioning within the cells.

Abstract
The novel immunomodulator FTY720 is effective in experimental models of transplantation and autoimmunity, and is currently undergoing Phase III clinical trials for prevention of kidney graft rejection. FTY720 is a structural analogue of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and activates several of the S1P receptors. We show that FTY720 induces endothelium-dependent arterial vasodilation in phenylephrine precontracted mouse aortae. Vasodilation did not occur in thoracic aortic rings from eNOS-deficient mice, implicating and effect dependent of activation of the eNOS/NO pathway. Accordingly, FTY720 induced NO release, Akt-dependent eNOS phosphorylation and activation in human endothelial cells. For biological efficacy, FTY720 required endogenous phosphorylation, since addition of the sphingosine kinase antagonist N',N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS) prevented activation of eNOS in vitro and inhibited vasodilation in isolated arteries. The endothelial phosphorylation of FTY720 was extremely rapid with almost complete conversion after 10 minutes as determined by mass spectrometry. Finally, we identified the lysophospholipid receptor S1P3 as the S1P receptor responsible for arterial vasodilation by FTY720, as the effect was completely abolished in arteries from S1P3-deficient mice. In summary, we have identified FTY720 as the first immunomodulator for prevention of organ graft rejection in clinical development that, in addition, positively affects the endothelium by stimulating NO production, and thus potentially displaying beneficial effects on transplant survival beyond classical T cell immunosuppression.

Abstract
Agonist activation of a subset of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) stimulates cell proliferation, mimicking the better known effects of tyrosine kinase growth factors. Cell survival or apoptosis is also regulated via pathways initiated by stimulation of these same GPCRs. This review focuses on aspects of signaling by the lysophospholipid mediators, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), and sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P), which make these agonists uniquely capable of modulating cell growth and survival. The general features of GPCR coupling to specific G proteins, downstream effectors and signaling cascades are first reviewed. GPCR coupling to G(i) and Ras/MAPK or to G(q) and phospholipase generated second messengers are insufficient to regulate cell proliferation while G(12/13)/Rho engagement provides additional complementary signals required for cell proliferation. Survival is best predicted by coupling to G(i) pathways that regulate PI3K and Akt, but other signals generated through different G protein pathways are also implicated. The unique ability of LPA and S1P to concomitantly stimulate G(i), G(q), and G(12/13) pathways, given the proper complement of expressed LPA or S1P receptors, allows these receptors to support cell survival and proliferation. In pathophysiological situations, e.g., vascular disease, cancer, brain injury, and inflammation, components of the signaling cascade downstream of lysophospholipid receptors, in particular those involving Ras or Rho, may be altered. In addition, up or downregulation of LPA or S1P receptor subtypes, altering their ratio, and increased availability of the lysophospholipid ligands at sites of injury or inflammation, likely contribute to disease and may be important targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
The role of phospholipase D (PLD) activation in hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced signal transduction and cellular responses is not completely understood. Here we present evidence that Ca(2+)-dependent tyrosine kinase, Pyk2, requires PLD activation to mediate survival pathways in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells under oxidative stress. The H(2)O(2)-induced phosphorylation of two Pyk2 sites (Tyr(580), and Tyr(881)) was suppressed by 1-butanol, an inhibitor of transphosphatidylation by PLD, and also by transfection of catalytically negative mouse PLD2K758R (PLD2KR). Furthermore, we found that PLD2 was associated with Pyk2 and Src, and that activation of PLD2 was required for H(2)O(2)-enhanced association of Src with Pyk2 leading to full activation of Pyk2. H(2)O(2)-induced phosphorylation of Akt and p70S6K was dependent on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity and was abolished by 1-butanol but not t-butanol. Furthermore, the PI3K/Akt activation in response to H(2)O(2) was reduced by transfection of either PLD2KR or the dominant negative Pyk2DN. This study is the first demonstration that PLD2 activation is implicated in Src-dependent phosphorylation of Pyk2 (Tyr(580) and Tyr(881)) by promoting the complex formation between Pyk2 and activated Src in PC12 cells exposed to H(2)O(2), thereby resulting in activation of the survival signaling pathway PI3K/Akt/p70S6K.

Abstract
Previously, we have found that lipid rafts/caveolae were essential for insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor signaling during 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiation induction. However, it was not identified as to which of the membrane lipid-ordered microdomains mediates the receptor signal. Using small double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi), we successfully suppressed the caveolin-1 protein expression. In cells stably transfected with vector expressing small interfering RNA (siRNA) fragment, no caveolin-1 protein or caveola was detected. On the other hand, removal of caveolin-1 did not affect the caveolinless lipid rafts or the localization of IGF-1 receptor in lipid rafts on plasma membrane. IGF-1 receptor signal transduction and induced cellular differentiation were normal in RNAi cells with only lipid rafts. Furthermore, these IGF-1 receptor signaling events were still sensitive to the cholesterol-binding reagents. Thus, our results suggest that lipid rafts are sufficient for IGF-1 receptor signaling and the recruitment of signal molecules by caveolin-1 is not essential for IGF-1 receptor signaling.

Abstract
Mammalian phospholipases D (PLD), which catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidic acid (PA), have been implicated in various cell signaling and vesicle trafficking processes. Mammalian PLD1 contains two different membrane-targeting domains, pleckstrin homology and Phox homology (PX) domains, but the precise roles of these domains in the membrane binding and activation of PLD1 are still unclear. To elucidate the role of the PX domain in PLD1 activation, we constructed a structural model of the PX domain by homology modeling and measured the membrane binding of this domain and selected mutants by surface plasmon resonance analysis. The PLD1 PX domain was found to have high phosphoinositide specificity, i.e. phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns-(3,4,5)P(3)) >> phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate > phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate >> other phosphoinositides. The PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) binding was facilitated by the cationic residues (Lys(119), Lys(121), and Arg(179)) in the putative binding pocket. Consistent with the model structure that suggests the presence of a second lipid-binding pocket, vesicle binding studies indicated that the PLD1 PX domain could also bind with moderate affinity to PA, phosphatidylserine, and other anionic lipids, which were mediated by a cluster of cationic residues in the secondary binding site. Simultaneous occupancy of both binding pockets synergistically increases membrane affinity of the PX domain. Electrostatic potential calculations suggest that a highly positive potential near the secondary binding site may facilitate the initial adsorption of the domain to the anionic membrane, which is followed by the binding of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) to its binding pocket. Collectively, our results suggest that the interaction of the PLD1 PX domain with PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and/or PA (or phosphatidylserine) may be an important factor in the spatiotemporal regulation and activation of PLD1.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) has been reported to generate survival signals that prevent apoptosis induced by serum withdrawal. We have now found that elevated expression of PLD also suppresses DNA damage-induced apoptosis. Since DNA damage-induced apoptosis is often mediated by p53, we examined the effect of elevated PLD expression on the regulation of p53 stabilization. We report here that PLD suppresses DNA damage-induced increases in p53 stabilization in cells where PLD has been shown to provide a survival signal. Elevated expression of PLD also led to increased expression of the p53 E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 and increased turnover of p53. PLD1-stimulated increases in MDM2 expression and suppression of p53 activation were blocked by inhibition of mTOR and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Although PLD did not activate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt survival pathway activate the basal levels of PI3K activity were partially required for PLD1-induced increases in MDM2. These data provide evidence that survival signals generated by PLD involve suppression of the p53 response pathway.

Abstract
To examine the roles of PLD (phospholipase D) in the regulation of the apoptotic process, PLD1 and PLD2 were stably overexpressed in S1P3-CHO cells [CHO (Chinese-hamster ovary) cells expressing the S1P (sphingosine 1-phosphate) receptor S1P3]. Treatment of S1P3-CHO cells with ActD (actinomycin D) induced apoptosis, as shown by the occurrence of nuclear fragmentation and the caspase-dependent proteolytic cleavage of PARP [poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase] and protein kinase Cd. Overexpression of either PLD1 or PLD2 protected S1P3-CHO cells from ActD-induced apoptosis, as demonstrated by an increased number of viable cells and inhibition of PARP and protein kinase Cd cleavage. However, in the early phase of apoptosis, ActD induced an increase in PLD activity and activation of key factors in the cell-survival signalling pathways, such as PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase), Akt, p70S6K (p70 S6 kinase) and ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase). Furthermore, the ActD-induced activation of these survival signalling enzymes was potentiated by overexpression of either PLD1 or PLD2. The PI3K inhibitor LY294002 inhibited the ActD-induced activation of Akt and p70S6K, and completely abolished the effects of PLD1 or PLD2, whereas inhibition of ERK activity by the MEK inhibitor U0126 had a milder effect. The ActD-induced activation of p70S6K and ERKs was blocked by 1-butanol, but not by t-butanol; similar to S1P, exogenous PLD suppressed the ActD-induced events in the apoptosis signalling pathways. These results show that, in S1P3-CHO cells, increased expression of PLDs prevents ActD-induced apoptosis by enhanced activation of the PI3K signalling pathways.

HDL is a major atheroprotective factor, but the mechanisms underlying this effect are still obscure. HDL binding to scavenger receptor-BI has been shown to activate eNOS, although the responsible HDL entities and signaling pathways have remained enigmatic. Here we show that HDL stimulates NO release in human endothelial cells and induces vasodilation in isolated aortae via intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and Akt-mediated eNOS phosphorylation. The vasoactive effects of HDL could be mimicked by three lysophospholipids present in HDL: sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), and lysosulfatide (LSF). All three elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration and activated Akt and eNOS, which resulted in NO release and vasodilation. Deficiency of the lysophospholipid receptor S1P3 (also known as LPB3 and EDG3) abolished the vasodilatory effects of SPC, S1P, and LSF and reduced the effect of HDL by approximately 60%. In endothelial cells from S1P3-deficient mice, Akt phosphorylation and Ca2+ increase in response to HDL and lysophospholipids were severely reduced. In vivo, intra-arterial administration of HDL or lysophospholipids lowered mean arterial blood pressure in rats. In conclusion, we identify HDL as a carrier of bioactive lysophospholipids that regulate vascular tone via S1P3-mediated NO release. This mechanism may contribute to the vasoactive effect of HDL and represent a novel aspect of its antiatherogenic function.

Abstract
Mitogens activate protein translation through phosphorylation of p7S6 kinase (p70(S6K)) and eIF4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) mediated by the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) or phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). A recent report (Science 294, 1942, 2001) has implicated phospholipase D (PLD) in mTOR signaling. We studied the role of PLD in the phosphorylation of p70(S6K) and 4E-BP1 induced by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) using fibroblasts deficient in PLD activity and also 1-butanol, which inhibits phosphatidic acid production by PLD. The reduction in PLD activity in both situations impaired the effect of LPA on mTOR signaling but did not inhibit the effect of PDGF. PDGF induced marked phosphorylation of Akt (a PI3K target) but this was not affected by PLD deficiency. LPA caused much less phosphorylation of Akt and this was dependent on PLD activity. Toxin B, which inactivates Rho GTPases, markedly impaired PLD1 activation and phosphorylation of Akt, p70(S6K), and 4E-BP1 induced by LPA but had a minimal or no effect on the actions of PDGF. These results support the hypothesis that LPA activates protein translation through the action of PLD1-generated PA on mTOR and the PI3K/Akt pathway whereas PDGF acts through P13K/Akt independent of PLD1.

Abstract
Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P(2)) synthesis by phenylarsine oxide (PAO) inhibits both [3H]-noradrenaline ([3H]-NA) and [14C]-glutamate ([14C]-glu) exocytosis from streptolysin-O (SLO)-perforated synaptosomes. When PI4,5P(2) is blocked by an antibody or chelated by neomycin, neurotransmitter exocytosis again is inhibited. Also, when phosphoinositide (PI) synthesis is indirectly decreased by shunting phosphatidic acid (PA) synthesis into phosphatidylbutanol production, both [14C]-glutamate and [3H]-noradrenaline exocytosis are inhibited. All of these results indicate that PI4,5P(2) is necessary for exocytosis of both synaptic vesicles (SVs) and dense core vesicles (DCVs).

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is expressed in many tissues and stimulated by growth factors and cytokines. However, the role of PLD in signal transduction is still not well-understood. Human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells exhibit low levels of both PLD1 and PLD2 mRNA, however, only PLD1 protein was detected by Western blot. When either isoform of PLD was stably expressed in HEK-293 cells, we observed an increased PLD activity in a cell-free system and a 12-O-tetradecanoyl-13-phorbol acetate (TPA)-stimulated increase in PLD activity in intact cells. This system was then used to elucidate the effects of PLD activity on TPA-stimulated signaling pathways. Two such pathways, the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) and p38 are activated by growth factors and cellular stress, respectively. We found that TPA stimulated ERK phosphorylation regardless of the expression status of PLD. In contrast to ERK kinase, HEK-293 cells were unable to induce p38 phosphorylation by TPA stimulation. When HEK-293 cells expressed either PLD1 or PLD2, we observed elevated p38 phosphorylation in response to TPA stimulation. The ERK and p38 MAPKs can also stimulate the expression of both cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) and interleukin-8 (IL-8). We used this system to differentiate the effect of PLD1 or PLD2 activity on the expression of Cox-2 and IL-8. Increased Cox-2 and IL-8 expression was found only in HEK-293 cells expressing PLD1. These data identify a novel role for the PLD1 isoform in the induction of gene expression and provide new insight into the differential role of PLD1 and PLD2 in cells.

Abstract
Akt plays a pivotal role in cell survival and tumorigenesis. We investigated the potential interaction between sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the Akt signaling pathway. Using mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from S1P receptor knockout mice, we show here that S1P3 was required for S473 phosphorylation of Akt by S1P. In addition, S1P-stimulated activation of Akt, but not ERK, was blocked by a PDGF receptor (PDGFR)-specific inhibitor, AG1296, suggesting a S1P3-mediated specific crosstalk between the Akt signaling pathways of S1P and PDGFR in MEFs. We investigated this crosstalk under different conditions and found that both Akt and ERK activation induced by S1P, but not lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), in HEY ovarian cancer cells required PDGFR but not epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGFR). Importantly, S1P induced a Gi-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of PDGFR in HEY cells. This dependence on PDGFR in S1P-induced Akt activation was also observed in A2780, T47D, and HMEC-1 cells (which express S1P3), but not in PC-3 or GI-101A cells (which do not express S1P3), further supporting that S1P3 mediates the crosstalk between S1P and PDGFR. This is the first report demonstrating a unique interaction between S1P3 and PDGFR, in addition to demonstrating a specific role for S1P3 in S1P-induced Akt activation.

Abstract
Endothelial cells continuously respond to extracellular stimuli such as chemical signals produced by circulating blood elements or mechanical forces such as shear stress. Proinflammatory cytokines, mitogens, reactive oxygen species, and shear stress trigger signal molecules to initiate multiple intracellular pathways, which often converge at mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation. The MAP kinase superfamily represents a burgeoning area of clinical investigation for treatment of various inflammatory and oncologic diseases and plays an essential role in mediating response to infection, ischemia/reperfusion injury, and vessel healing and remodeling through regulation of such diverse phenomena as endothelial cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and endothelial barrier function. The downstream effects of MAP kinase activation include modulation of gene expression via up-regulation of various transcription factors. In addition to these sustained effects, MAP kinases coordinate more immediate responses that affect dynamic cytoskeletal rearrangements necessary for cell migration and regulation of barrier function. This review discusses the important regulatory roles of MAP kinases in the vital physiologic functions of endothelium, focusing mainly on the role of MAP kinases in the maintenance of endothelial barrier.
