Abstract
The CDP-ethanolamine branch of the Kennedy pathway is the major route for the formation of ethanolamine-derived phospholipids, including diacyl phosphatidylethanolamine and alkenylacyl phosphatidylethanolamine derivatives, known as plasmalogens. Ethanolamine phospholipids are essential structural components of the cell membranes and play regulatory roles in cell division, cell signaling, activation, autophagy, and phagocytosis. The physiological importance of plasmalogens has not been not fully elucidated, although they are known for their antioxidant properties and deficiencies in a number of inherited peroxisomal disorders. This review highlights important aspects of ethanolamine phospholipid metabolism and reports current molecular information on 1 of the regulatory enzymes in their synthesis, CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (Pcyt2). Pcyt2 is encoded by a single, nonredundant gene in animal species that could be alternatively spliced into 2 potential protein products. We describe properties of the mouse and human Pcyt2 genes and their regulatory promoters and provide molecular evidence for the existence of 2 distinct Pcyt2 proteins. The goal is to obtain more insight into Pcyt2 catalytic function and regulation to facilitate a better understanding of the production of ethanolamine phospholipids via the CDP-ethanolamine branch of the Kennedy pathway.

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

Abstract
Transduction of extracellular signals through the membrane involves both the lipid and protein moiety. Phosphatidylserine participates to these processes as a cofactor for protein kinase C activity and thus the existence of a regulatory mechanism for its synthesis ought to be expected. In plasma membranes from rat cerebral cortex, the activity of serine base exchange enzyme, that is mainly responsible for phosphatidylserine synthesis in mammalian tissues, was reduced by the addition to the incubation mixture of AlF4- or GTP-gamma-S, known activators of G proteins, whereas ATP was almost uneffective. GTP-gamma-S inhibited the enzyme activity only at relatively high concentration (> 0.5 mM). When the synthesis of phosphatidylserine in the same cerebral area was investigated by measuring the incorporation of labelled serine into the phospholipid in the homogenate buffered at pH 7.6, ATP had an inhibitory effect as GTP-gamma-S and AlF4-. Heparin activated both serine base exchange enzyme in plasma membranes and phosphatidylserine synthesis in the homogenate. The preincubation of plasma membranes in the buffer without any other addition at 37 degrees C for 15 min reduced by 30% serine base exchange enzyme activity. The remaining activity responded to the addition of GTP-gamma-S but was insensitive to 5 mM AlF-4, a concentration that inhibited by 60% the enzyme assayed without preincubation. These results indicate the existence of different regulatory mechanisms, involving ATP and G proteins, possibly acting on different enzymes responsible for the synthesis of phosphatidylserine. Since previous studies have shown that hypoxia increases the synthesis of this phospholipid in brain slices or homogenate (Mozzi et al. Mol Cell Biochem 126: 101-107, 1993), it is possible that hypoxia may interfere with at least one of these mechanisms. This hypothesis is supported by the observation that in hypoxic homogenate 20 mM AlF-4 was not able to reduce the synthesis of phosphatidylserine as in normoxic samples. A similar difference between oxygenated and hypoxic samples, concerning their response to AlF4-, was observed when the incorporation of ethanolamine into phosphatidylethanolamine was studied. The incorporation of choline into phosphatidilcholine was, on the contrary, inhibited at a similar extent in both experimental conditions.

Abstract
To study the regulation and turnover of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) in human leucocytes, we investigated the effect of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), I-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ET-18-OCH3 or edelfosine), staurosporine and platelet activating factor (PAF) on [14C]serine incorporation into phospholipids. More than 80% of lipid radioactivity was in PtdSer. ET-18-OCH3 stimulated incorporation into PtdSer 5-fold, without increasing incorporation into other lipids. PAF stimulated PtdSer synthesis 3-fold after 1 h, while staurosporine stimulated the synthesis 2-fold after 3 h. TPA inhibited PtdSer synthesis. It abolished the ET-18-OCH3 stimulation, and reduced the staurosporine stimulation. ET-18-OCH3 and TPA did not significantly alter the incorporation of [14C]arachidonic acid into PtdSer, and did not increase PtdSer turnover judged from chase and stability experiments. The results demonstrate that PKC inhibitors and PAF induce increased incorporation of [14C]serine into PtdSer, while TPA inhibits stimulated PtdSer synthesis. This suggests that modulation of PtdSer synthesis may regulate PKC activity in PMN cells.

Abstract
The inhibitory and stimulatory elements of cellular signalling associated with activation of protein kinase C (PKC) in murine B lymphocytes were investigated by employing two PKC activators with opposing effects on cell proliferation. Being an inhibitor of anti-Ig mediated proliferation, the phorbol ester PDBU induced a more substantial translocation of cytosolic PKC activity than the alkaloid PKC activator indolactam, which enhances anti-Ig mediated B cell proliferation. PDBU and indolactam were equally effective kinase activators, as determined by 32P incorporation of the substrate proteins. Concentrations of indolactam which induced an inhibition of anti-Ig mediated B cell proliferation also induced a precipitous decline in detergent soluble cellular PKC activity, which was comparable with 1 microM PDBU. The induced phosphoprotein patterns were similar, with an exception of the nuclear envelope protein lamin B, which was prominently phosphorylated by PDBU but not by stimulatory concentrations of indolactam. The enhanced phosphorylation of lamin B was associated with cellular growth arrest: inhibitory concentrations of indolactam induced the phosphorylation of lamin B equal to PDBU, whereas an increased phosphorylation of lamin B was never observed upon stimulation with anti-Ig. Together, inhibition of anti-Ig mediated B cell proliferation was related to down-regulation of cytoplasmic PKC and induction of nuclear PKC-dependent phosphorylation.

Abstract
Rat cerebellar slices were incubated in absence and presence of N-methyl-D-aspartate and then used to prepare a purified nuclear fraction. The purity of the nuclear fraction was assessed by electron microscopy and measurements of Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity. The presence of protein kinase C in nuclear fractions was measured by [3H]phorbol dibutyrate binding. Treatment of cerebellar slices with N-methyl-D-aspartate caused a significant, two-fold increase in the density of nuclear [3H]phorbol dibutyrate binding sites, indicating the translocation of protein kinase C to the nuclear fraction. The effect of N-methyl-D-aspartate was prevented by the presence of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist (+)5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzocyclohepten-5,10-imine maleate (MK-801). These results suggest a possible role for protein kinase C in mediating N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced nuclear events.

Abstract
The incorporation of [14C] choline, [14C] ethanolamine, and [14C] serine by LAN-2 cells into their corresponding phospholipids was investigated in the presence or absence of TPA. The presence of TPA increased the amount of radioactivity incorporated into the phospholipids with a corresponding decrease in the amount of radioactivity in the cytosolic compartment compared to control cultures. There were no differences between TPA-exposed and control cells in the distribution of radioactivity in free choline, phosphorylcholine or CDP-choline of [14C] choline labeled cells. This indicates that the increased lipid labeling was not accompanied by enhanced labeling of the intermediates of the de novo pathway. These results suggest that a choline base exchange enzyme was stimulated in TPA exposed cells. In addition, the enhanced incorporation of serine by TPA into its corresponding phospholipid implies the stimulation of the serine base exchange enzyme which is responsible for phosphatidylserine synthesis in mammals. These observations suggest a

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine biosynthesis in rat pup brain was examined by assaying the serine base-exchange enzyme activity in the microsomal and plasma membrane fractions, and by measuring the incorporation of [3H]serine into phosphatidylserine in brain slices and in the intact brain. Chlorpromazine, either added in vitro into the incubation system or administered to animals via i.p. injection or feeding a liquid diet, gave rise to an increase in the phosphatidylserine biosynthesis activity. Ethanol administered in the form of a liquid diet to pregnant rats (day 11 birth) resulted in a decrease in phosphatidylserine biosynthesis in the newborn and developing brain. The ethanol-induced decrease in phosphatidylserine biosynthetic activity could be reversed by adding chlorpromazine to the ethanol diet. Results demonstrate that phosphatidylserine biosynthesis in the neonatal brain is affected in opposite directions by chlorpromazine and ethanol. This poses the possibility that chlorpromazine administration may be effective in alleviating the deleterious effects caused by the decreased phosphatidylserine biosynthesis in brain due to in utero ethanol exposure.

Abstract
It was shown that in LA-N-2 cells prelabeled with [3H-methyl]choline for 24 hr (Singh et al.: Mol Chem Neuropathol 14:53-66, 1991) the major intracellular and extracellular hydrophilic compound was phosphorylcholine. LA-N-2 cells were labeled with [14C-methyl]choline for 24 hr, harvested, and incubated in Hepes/BSA/saline buffer for varying periods of time. The radioactive compound present in the cytosol and released into Hepes/BSA/saline buffer medium in the presence or absence of TPA was phosphorylcholine. There was a gradual increase in the appearance of radioactivity in the medium and this corresponded to a gradual decline in the radioactivity present in the cytosolic compartment with a statistically significant P value of less than .005. Identical results were obtained with prelabeled cells subsequently incubated with TPA. There was no significant change in the amount of radioactivity associated with lipid suggesting that the phosphorylcholine may be released directly from the cytosolic compartment into the medium rather than originating through a phospholipase-C catalyzed hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine. This possibility received support from experiments in which cells were electropermeabilized in the presence of radioactive phosphorylcholine. It was found that the introduced [14C]phosphorylcholine was released intact into the incubation medium from the cytosolic compartment. The incorporation of [14C]choline, [14C]ethanolamine, and [14C]serine by LA-N-2 cells into their corresponding phospholipids was investigated in the presence or absence of TPA. The presence of TPA increased the amount of radioactivity incorporated into the phospholipids with a corresponding decrease in the amount of radioactivity in the cytosolic compartment compared to control cultures. There were no detectable differences between TPA exposed and control cells in the distribution of radioactivity in free choline, phosphorylcholine, or CDP-choline of [14C] choline labeled cells. This indicates that the increased lipid labeling was not accompanied by enhanced labeling of the intermediates of the de novo pathway. This effect of TPA in altering the distribution of labeling of the cytosolic and lipid components was not demonstrable with cells grown in the presence of 10(-5) M retinoic acid.

Abstract
The presence of sphingosine and oleoylamine in the culture medium of LA-N-2 cells stimulated the incorporation of [3H]serine into its corresponding phospholipid, phosphatidylserine (PtdSer). The optimum stimulation for sphingosine and oleoylamine were 50 microM and 100 microM, respectively. Oleoylamine increased the incorporation of [3H]serine over 6-fold while sphingosine increased the incorporation of [3H]serine over 2.5-fold. The amount of radioactivity found in water-soluble components and in protein was similar to that found with control LA-N-2 cells. The incorporation of [3H]choline and [3H]ethanolamine into their corresponding phospholipids were decreased in the presence of either oleoylamine or sphingosine. A protein kinase C (PKC) activator, DiC8, and a PKC inhibitor, H7, did not influence the enhanced phosphatidylserine formation by sphingosine and oleoylamine. In addition, there were no differences in the stimulatory effect of sphingosine and oleoylamine discernable between PKC down-regulated cells or controls. These observations indicate that this oleoylamine and sphingosine mediated enhanced phosphatidylserine synthesis is PKC-independent.

Abstract
The base exchange enzymes catalyze the incorporation of L-serine, ethanolamine and choline into their corresponding phospholipids. The L-serine base enzyme activity was increased 120% by 0.1 mM sphingosine. There was a modest increase of the ethanolamine base exchange enzyme activity but the choline base exchange enzyme activity was unaffected. Na-arachadonate, Na-oleate and Na-linolenate at 0.2 mM concentration increased the activity of the L-serine and ethanolamine base exchange enzymes but inhibited the choline base exchange enzyme activity. A model is proposed suggesting that modulations of the L-serine base exchange enzyme may participate in the regulation of the calcium phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C.

Abstract
A potential role of the protein kinase C (PKC) system in differentiation of human neuroblastoma cell line LA-N-5 was investigated. It was found that neurite outgrowth induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA, 81 nM) was associated with a down-regulation of PKC as determined independently by immunocytochemistry, immunoblot, and enzyme activity assay. Down-regulation of PKC in cells induced to differentiate by retinoic acid (1 microM) was less pronounced, whereas it was undetected in cells induced to differentiate by nerve growth factor (100 ng/ml). The in vitro phosphorylation of an 80-kilodalton protein present in control LA-N-5 cells or in cells treated with TPA, retinoic acid, or nerve growth factor for 1 day decreased to various extents at days 4 or 7 concomitant with neuritogenesis. Pretreatment of LA-N-5 cells with a high concentration (1 microM) of TPA to deplete cellular PKC rendered the cells unresponsive to the differentiating effect of the agents. It was observed that CHP-100 cells, another human neuroblastoma line shown to be resistant to differentiation induced by the agents, had a reduced PKC level and the amount of in vitro phosphorylation of the 80-kilodalton protein was greatly reduced in control cells and remained relatively unchanged when the cells were treated with the agents for up to 7 days. The present studies suggested that PKC and its 80-kilodalton substrate protein were likely involved in initiation and/or progression of LA-N-5 cell differentiation induced by TPA and that separate PKC-independent pathways might also be involved in the differentiating effect of retinoic acid or nerve growth factor.

Abstract
Activation of Jurkat T lymphocytes to produce IL2 is accompanied by a strong inhibition of phosphatidylserine (PS) synthesis. This inhibition was obtained either with the mitogenic lectin PHA, anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (mAb), anti-CD2 mAb or anti-Ti mAb. Bypassing membrane receptor signalling, by using a Ca2+ ionophore or a protein phosphatase inhibitor, sodium ortho-vanadate, also results in a marked inhibition of PS synthesis. Activators of phospholipid -Ca2+ dependent protein kinase C (PKC) did not significantly modify PS synthesis, suggesting that the observed changes only involve the transduction of the first activation signal. PS being a necessary cofactor for PKC, our results strongly suggest that the inhibition of PS synthesis induced by receptor triggering exerts a feed back control on PKC therefore leading to a transient activation of the enzyme upon full lymphocyte activation.

Abstract
Pulse-chase experiments, performed with 14C-labeled choline, were used to study the possible effect of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on the terminal step of sphingomyelin (CerPCho) synthesis from phosphatidylcholine in intact human promyelocytic leukemic HL60 cells. Addition of TPA for the chase period significantly increased the rate of CerPCho synthesis; maximal stimulation (104%) required only 3 nM TPA. Treatment of cells with TPA for 6 h also increased the mass of CerPCho by 35%. Sphingosine (25 microM) or H7 (100 microM), inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC) in vitro, inhibited some, but not all effects of TPA on endogenous protein phosphorylation in intact cells, and failed to inhibit TPA-stimulated synthesis of CerPCho. However, bryostatin, mezerein, 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol, and polymyxin B, previously all shown to stimulate PKC in vivo, also stimulated the synthesis of CerPCho. It is suggested that the effect of phorbol ester on CerPCho synthesis is mediated by a subtype of PKC which responds to known activators of enzyme but is not inhibited by H7 or sphingosine.

Abstract
Interactions of protein kinase C (PKC) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) systems were investigated in HL60 cells. It was found that the differentiating effects of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) were potentiated by dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) or prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In addition, dbcAMP or PGE2 inhibited TPA-induced binding of PKC to plasma membrane, leading to decreased protein phosphorylation, and promoted subsequent redistribution of enzyme to the nuclear membrane region. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that PKC and PKA systems regulate cooperatively the phenotypical differentiation of leukemic cells.

Abstract
Immunocytochemical methods were used to study protein kinase C (PKC) distribution in HL60 cells during the entire course of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced differentiation. After an initial translocation of PKC from cytoplasm to plasma membrane, the enzyme was localized close to the nuclear membrane region at day 1 of TPA treatment. PKC was associated with nuclei at day 2 and with nuclei, cytoplasma and plasma membrane at days 3 and 5. Attachment of cells to substratum (day 2) was accompanied by increased phosphorylation of several nuclear proteins. At day 7, the differentiated cells became detached and PKC in these cells was largely cytoplasmic. In view of the crucial role of PKC in cell differentiation, it is expected that changes in its intracellular localization have physiological significance.
