Abstract
Sphingolipids in general and ceramides in particular, contribute to pathophysiological mechanisms by modifying signalling and metabolic pathways. Here, we present the available evidence for a bidirectional homeostatic crosstalk between sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids, whose dysregulation contributes to lipotoxicity induced metabolic stress. The initial evidence for this crosstalk originates from simulated models designed to investigate the biophysical properties of sphingolipids in plasma membrane representations. In this review, we reinterpret some of the original findings and conceptualise them as a sort of "ying/yang" interaction model of opposed/complementary forces, which is consistent with the current knowledge of lipid homeostasis and pathophysiology. We also propose that the dysregulation of the balance between sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids results in a lipotoxic insult relevant in the pathophysiology of common metabolic diseases, typically characterised by their increased ceramide/sphingosine pools.

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
In has been found that sphingosine, propranolol, imipramine and phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, TPA) have a stimulatory effect on phospholipase D activity in glioma C6 cells. The cells were prelabelled with [1-(14)C]palmitic acid and phospholipase D-mediated synthesis of [(14)C]phosphatidylethanol was measured. The enhancing effect of TPA was almost completely blocked by a specific protein kinase C inhibitor, GF 109203X. In contrast, GF 109203X failed to inhibit the sphingosine, imipramine and propranolol stimulatory effects, indicating that their stimulation was independent of protein kinase C. The effect of TPA on phospholipase D was also blocked by imipramine and propranolol, whereas sphingosine additively potentiated TPA-mediated phospholipase D activity, both at shorter and longer (2-60 min) times of incubation. These results suggest that in glioma C6 cells, sphingosine is not only involved in a different phospholipase D activation than the TPA regulatory system, but also that it operates in a different compartment of the cell.

Abstract
The recent identification of cDNA clones for phospholipase D1 and 2 has opened the door to new studies on its structure and regulation. PLD activity is encoded by at least two different genes that contain catalytic domains that relate their mechanism of action to phosphodiesterases. In vivo roles for PLD suggest that it may be important for multiple specialized steps in receptor dependent and constitutive processes of secretion, endocytosis, and membrane biogenesis.

Abstract
The present experiments were conducted to examine the hypothesis that follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can stimulate the hydrolysis of phosphoinositide, generating the intracellular second messengers to activate protein kinase C and mobilizing intracellular calcium, thus inducing oocyte meiotic resumption. Pig cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes (CEO) were cultured for 24 hr in 4 mM hypoxanthine (HX)-supplemented medium and treated with different agents in the following designs: (1) CEO were treated with neomycin (an inhibitor of phosphoinositide hydrolysis) in the presence of FSH or only treated with 7,12-dimethylbenzin(a) anthracene (DMBA, a tumor promoter which can cause phosphorylation of phospholipase C (PLC), formation of inositol triphophate, and mobilization of intracellular calcium) to mimic the direct activation of PLC; (2) CEO were challenged by FSH, together with sphingosine or staurosporine (two kinds of PKC inhibitors); or treated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, an activator of PKC) separately; (3) CEO were primed with BAPTA/AM (an intracellular calcium chelator) or BAPTA/AM +FSH for 60 min, and then transferred into a new culture medium supplemented with FSH but without BAPTA/AM; total culture time was 24 hr. At the end of the culture, the incidence of germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) was calculated. The results showed that: (1) FSH (100 U/liter) could stimulate pig CEO to override the arrest of HX and resume meiosis; DMBA (10(-8)-10(-5) M) itself also had such a kind of effect; whereas neomycin, at the level of 10-20 mM, could dramatically inhibit the stimulatory effect of FSH. (2) Staurosporine (10(-9)-10(-6) M) or sphingosine (10(-8)-10(-5) M) could also inhibit the effect of FSH in a dose-dependent manner on stimulating CEO to resume meiosis. However, PMA (10(-8)-10(-5) M) alone had a dual effect on the meiotic resumption of pig CEO. PMA, at the level of 10(-8)-10(-6) M, could stimulate CEO to resume meiosis, and at high concentration of 10(-5) M , it could even enhance the inhibitory effect of HX. (3) Priming CEO with BAPTA/AM only or BAPTA/AM +FSH for 60 min could significantly inhibit the effect of FSH in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that in the process of ligand-mediated meiotic resumption of pig CEO, FSH can stimulate the hydrolysis of phosphoinositide leading to the activation of PKC and mobilization of intracellular calcium; and suggest that multiple signaling pathways and signal interaction are involved in this process.

Abstract
The endogenous cannabinoid arachidonoylethanolamide was previously reported to have no effects on the phospholipase D activity in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the human brain-specific cannabinoid receptor, while in mouse peritoneal cells, delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol stimulated this enzyme. In this work, arachidonoylethanolamide (0.1-1 microM) was found to stimulate the phospholipase D-mediated phospholipid hydrolysis in rat adrenal pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, but not in mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. The phospholipase D-activating effects of arachidonoylethanolamide were comparable to those elicited by phorbol ester and nerve growth factor, while arachidonic acid (1 microM) had no effects. The results show that, depending on the cell type, arachidonoylethanolamide can be an activator of the phospholipase D system.

Abstract
In fibroblasts, the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulates phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of both phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) by PKC-alpha-mediated nonphosphorylating and phosphorylating mechanisms. Here we have used NIH 3T3 fibroblasts overexpressing holo PKC-epsilon and its regulatory, catalytic, and zinc finger domain fragments to determine if this isozyme also regulates PLD activity. Overexpression of holo PKC-epsilon inhibited the stimulatory effects of PMA (5-100 nM) on both PtdCho and PtdEtn hydrolysis. Overexpression of PKC-epsilon also was found to inhibit platelet-derived growth factor-induced PLD activity. Expression of the catalytic unit of PKC-epsilon had no effect on PMA-induced PLD activity. In contrast, expression of both the regulatory domain fragment and the zinc finger domain of PKC-epsilon resulted in significant inhibition of PMA-stimulated PtdCho and PtdEtn hydrolysis. Interestingly, although PKC-alpha also mediates the stimulatory effect of PMA on the synthesis of PtdCho by a phosphorylation mechanism, overexpression of holo PKC-epsilon or its regulatory domain fragments did not affect PMA-induced PtdCho synthesis. These results indicate that the PKC-epsilon system can act as a negative regulator of PLD activity and that this inhibition is mediated by its regulatory domain.

Abstract
In NIH 3T3 cells, phosphocholine (PCho) stimulates mitogenesis in synergism with insulin, ATP, and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) via an extracellular target. Intracellular PCho also has been suggested to mediate the mitogenic effects of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and several other growth factors based, in part, on the observed inhibition of growth factor-induced mitogenesis by the choline kinase inhibitor hemicholinium-3 (HC-3). Here we examined the specificity of HC-3 effects on mitogenesis in serum-starved NIH 3T3 and Swiss 3T3 cells. In both cell lines, FGF greatly enhanced DNA synthesis in a medium containing 28 microM choline, and it also stimulated the formation of -14C-PCho from both 50 microM and 5 mM [14C]choline. HC-3 (2 mM) inhibited basal or FGF-induced formation of [14C]PCho and [14C]phosphatidylcholine as well as the uptake of -14C-choline only at the 50 microM, but not the 5 mM, concentration of [14C]choline. In addition, HC-3 (1 mM) from three different sources (95-99.9% purity) inhibited FGF-stimulated DNA synthesis by 53-58% which was not reversed by 5 mM choline. The choline analogue dimethylethanolamine (1 mM) also inhibited FGF-stimulated formation of [14C]PCho from 50 microM -14C-choline, but it had no effect on FGF-induced DNA synthesis. Of the other growth regulators examined, synergistic stimulation of DNA synthesis by extracellular PCho and S1P or PCho and ATP via choline kinase-independent mechanisms was inhibited by 2 mM HC-3. However, HC-3 failed to inhibit the synergistic mitogenic effects of PCho and insulin or S1P and insulin. The results suggest that FGF-induced mitogenesis does not require PCho formation and that HC-3 can inhibit DNA synthesis independent of its inhibitory effects on choline metabolism.

Abstract
In this work, we determined the effects of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) on phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), and evaluated the effects of the water-soluble product ethanolamine on S1P-induced DNA synthesis in NIH 3T3 cells. In [14C]ethanolamine-labelled cells, S1P (0.5-5 microM) stimulated PLD-mediated hydrolysis of PtdEtn 1.5-2.1-fold. Down-regulation of protein kinase C by chronic (24 h) treatment of cells with 300 nM PMA, or pretreatments (10 min) with the cell-permeant calcium chelator 1,2-bis-(O-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N, N',N'-tetra-acetic acid tetra-acetoxymethyl ester led to the inhibition of S1P-induced PtdEtn hydrolysis. S1P alone was a weak inducer of DNA synthesis, but its effects were enhanced by phosphocholine (PCho), insulin, ATP or PMA. Ethanolamine (5-100 microM) did not modify the mitogenic effect of S1P alone, whereas at 50-100 microM concentrations it actually enhanced the mitogenic effect of PCho via a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-independent mechanism. In contrast, 5-20 microM concentrations of ethanolamine, which correspond to normal blood ethanolamine levels in humans, strongly inhibited DNA synthesis induced by S1P plus PCho via a MAP kinase-dependent mechanism; importantly, less or no inhibition was observed with 50-100 microM concentrations of ethanolamine. At 5-50 microM concentrations, ethanolamine also inhibited the synergistic mitogenic effects of both S1P plus insulin (22-27% inhibition) and PCho plus ATP (45-73% inhibition) but not those of S1P plus PMA or S1P plus ATP. The results indicate that S1P stimulates PLD-mediated hydrolysis of PtdEtn by a mechanism that may involve a regulatory protein kinase C isoform. Increased formation of ethanolamine by PLD-mediated PtdEtn hydrolysis or by other means may be required for maximal stimulation of DNA synthesis by S1P in the presence of insulin, and particularly PCho.

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
Metabolites of sphingomyelin, ceramide and sphingosine, have previously been implicated in cell growth regulation. Here we show that cell-permeable ceramide analogs and treatment with sphingomyelinase, which hydrolyzes sphingomyelin located on the outer leaflet of the bilayer, increase the progression of quiescent Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts through the S phase of the cell cycle leading to an increase in cell division. Although both potentiate the mitogenic effects of several growth factors [14], sphingomyelinase treatment antagonized the mitogenic effect of the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), while ceramide analogs had no effect, and sphingosine, a further metabolite of ceramide, potentiated the mitogenic effect of TPA. Concomitantly, sphingomyelinase, but not ceramide analogs, blunted the rapid increase in membrane-associated protein kinase C (PKC) activity induced by TPA without affecting the translocation of PKC alpha, delta, epsilon or zeta isoforms. Moreover, in contrast to sphingosine which activates phospholipase D (PLD) leading to an increase in phosphatidic acid levels, sphingomyelinase, but not ceramide analogs, reduced TPA-stimulated PLD activity. Our results suggest that the signaling pathways utilized by sphingomyelinase differ from those of cell-permeable ceramide analogs, and both act differently than sphingosine. The differential effects of exogenous short-chain ceramide analogs and sphingomyelinase call for caution in using these analogs as tools to study the role of ceramide in diverse cellular functions.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of 1-acyl-2-[14C]arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine was studied in cerebral cortex homogenate and subcellular fractions. The enzyme(s) confined to the synaptic plasma membrane (SPM) hydrolyze(s) [14C-arachidonoyl]phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the presence of EGTA to [14C-arachidonoyl]diacylglycerol (DAG) and a small amount of [14C]arachidonic acid (AA). Degradation of PE is time-, protein- and substrate-dependent with a pH optimum of 7.8. The highest activity of PE degradation was observed in the presence of 10 mM EGTA. Under this condition GTP gamma S has no effect on PE hydrolysis. In the presence of Ca2+ ions degradation of PE was significantly lower as compared to the conditions with EGTA. However, the percentage distribution of free AA in the sum of both products of PE hydrolysis (AA + DAG) increases from 16 and 20% observed in the presence of EGTA 2 mM and 10 mM to 34% and 43% in the presence of 0.5 mM CaCl2 alone and together with GTP gamma S, respectively. Cytosolic enzymes also degrade PE in the presence of 2 mM EGTA with the formation of DAG and AA. Radioactivity in the AA represents about 80% of the total radioactivity of the products of PE degradation. The hydrolysis of PE by cytosolic enzymes is almost completely inhibited by neomycin but the hydrolysis by the SPM-bound enzyme(s) is inhibited only 70%. Other studies with quinacrine indicated that only a small pool of PE is degraded by SPM-bound Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A2 (PLA2). All of these data suggest that PE in cerebral cortex is mainly degraded by cytosolic and SPM-bound Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase C. Further studies towards a better understanding of the mechanisms of cerebral degradation and the physiological significance of Ca(2+)-independent pathways of PE hydrolysis are necessary.

Abstract
Because many agonists utilize diacylglycerol (DAG) to initiate nuclear transcriptional activity via protein kinase C (PKC), we have investigated whether sphingosine might counter DAG. Sphingosine inhibited PKC activity in an isolated airway smooth muscle cell lysate and prevented the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) by platelet-derived growth factor, bradykinin, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in intact cells. MAPK activation in response to all the agonists involves PKC. The stimulation of [3H]palmitate-labeled cells with sphingosine, in the presence of butan-1-ol (0.3%, vol/vol), induced an increase in [3H]phosphatidate (PtdOH) but was without effect on [3H]DAG. [3H]PtdOH synthesis was inhibited, whereas [3H]DAG levels were increased in the presence of the DAG kinase inhibitor R-59949, indicating that sphingosine stimulates phospholipase C/DAG kinase. Recycling of DAG from PtdOH was prevented by a sphingosine-dependent inhibition of PtdOH phosphohydrolase-2 activity. In conclusion, the sphingosine-induced conversion of DAG to PtdOH may serve to optimize the effect of sphingosine on MAPK. This may account for the antiproliferative action of sphingosine.

Abstract
Sphingosine, sphinganine, and other long-chain (sphingoid) bases are highly bioactive intermediates of sphingolipid metabolism that have diverse effects when added to cells, including the inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) as evaluated by both enzymatic activity and [3H]phorbol dibutyrate ([3H]PDBu) binding. Nonetheless, changes in endogenous sphingoid bases have not been proven to affect PKC or other signal transduction pathways. We have discovered recently that changing J774A.1 cells to new medium results in up to 10-fold increases in sphingoid bases (Smith, E. R., and Merrill, A. H., Jr. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 18749-18758); therefore, this system was used to elevate sphingosine and sphinganine and determine if PKC was affected. Incubation of J774A.1 cells in new medium for 30 min increased the levels of these endogenous sphingoid bases to approximately 0.5 nmol/mg of protein and decreased [3H]PDBu binding by 40-60%. Addition of NH4Cl, which suppresses the change in sphingosine, restored [3H]PDBu binding. Elevation of endogenous sphinganine by a second method (addition of fumonisin B1, an inhibitor of ceramide synthase) also reduced [3H]PDBu binding; therefore, elevations in sphingosine and sphinganine can both affect PKC. The elevation in sphingoid bases was also associated with an increase in the amount of PKC-delta (the major PKC isozyme in J774A. 1 cells) in the cytosol, as determined by activity assays and immunoblot analyses. Changing the culture medium affected other PKC isozymes, increased cellular levels of diacylglycerol, dihydroceramide, and ceramide, and altered the expression of two genes (the expression of JE was increased, and the induction of MnSOD by TNF-alpha was potentiated). Thus, changing the culture medium has numerous effects on J774A.1 cells, including the modulation of PKC by endogenous sphingoid bases.

Abstract
Stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) has been shown to be mediated by the alpha- and betaI-isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC). To determine the role of various PKC isozymes in the regulation of PLD-mediated phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) hydrolysis, MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells overexpressing the alpha- and theta-isoforms, and R6 rat fibroblasts overexpressing the alpha-, betaI-, and epsilon-isoforms were used. In the vector control MCF-7 cells, which contain low levels of PKC-alpha, PMA (100 nM) had only small effects on the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (1.1-1.35-fold) and PtdCho (1.15-1.6-fold). Stable expression of PKC-alpha in MCF-7 cells, which was accompanied by increased levels of the betaI- and theta-isoforms as well, greatly enhanced both PMA-induced PLD-mediated formation of phosphatidylethanol (approximately 5-fold) and the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (2.5-2.9-fold) and PtdCho (5.5-7.2-fold). The effects of PMA on the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (and PtdCho) in MCF-7/PKC-alpha cells were significantly inhibited by 0.5-3 microM concentrations of Gö 6976, a selective inhibitor of the conventional PKC subfamily. Stable expression of PKC-alpha in R6 fibroblasts enhanced, at a shorter (10 min) incubation time, the effects of PMA on the hydrolysis of both PtdEtn and, to a lesser extent, PtdCho. In contrast, stable expression of PKC-betaI in R6 fibroblasts, which originally did not contain this enzyme, enhanced the effects of PMA only on PtdCho, but not PtdEtn, hydrolysis. Overexpression of either PKC-theta in MCF-7 cells or PKC-epsilon in R6 and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts had no detectable effects on PMA-induced hydrolysis of PtdEtn. Collectively, the results suggest that PKC-alpha has a major role in the mediation of phorbol ester action on PtdEtn hydrolysis, while PtdCho hydrolysis may be regulated by both the alpha and betaI isoforms.

Abstract
There is increased interest in physiological functions and mechanisms of action of sphingolipids metabolites, ceramide, sphingosine, and sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP), members of a new class of lipid second messengers. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the role of these sphingolipids metabolites in the actions of growth factors and focuses on the second messenger roles of sphingosine and its metabolite, SPP, in the regulation of cell growth. We also discuss possible interactions with intermediates of the well known glycerophospholipid cycle. Sphingosine and SPP generally provide positive mitogenic signals whereas ceramide has been reported to induce apoptosis and cell arrest in several mammalian cell lines. Stimulation of phospholipase D leading to an increase in phosphatidic acid, a positive regulator of cell growth, by sphingosine and SPP, and its inhibition by ceramide, might be related to their opposite effects on cell growth. This also indicates that sphingolipid turnover could regulate the diacylglycerol cycle. Cross-talk between sphingolipid turnover pathways and the diacylglycerol cycle increases complexity of signaling pathways leading to cellular proliferation and adds additional sites of regulation.

Abstract
In nearly all mammalian cells and tissues examined, protein kinase C (PKC) has been shown to serve as a major regulator of a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PLD) activity. At least 12 distinct isoforms of PKC have been described so far; of these enzymes only the alpha- and beta-isoforms were found to regulate PLD activity. While the mechanism of this regulation has remained unknown, available evidence suggests that both phosphorylating and non-phosphorylating mechanisms may be involved. A phosphatidylcholine-specific PLD activity was recently purified from pig lung, but its possible regulation by PKC has not been reported yet. Several cell types and tissues appear to express additional forms of PLD which can hydrolyze either phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylinositol. It has also been reported that at least one form of PLD can be activated by oncogenes, but not by PKC activators. Similar to activated PKC, some of the primary and secondary products of PLD-mediated phospholipid hydrolysis, including phosphatidic acid, 1,2-diacylglycerol, choline phosphate and ethanolamine, also exhibit mitogenic/co-mitogenic effects in cultured cells. Furthermore, both the PLD and PKC systems have been implicated in the regulation of vesicle transport and exocytosis. Recently the PLD enzyme has been cloned and the tools of molecular biology to study its biological roles will soon be available. Using specific inhibitors of growth regulating signals and vesicle transport, so far no convincing evidence has been reported to support the role of PLD in the mediation of any of the above cellular effects of activated PKC.

Abstract
Effects of sphingosine on Ca2+ mobilization in the human Jurkat T cell line were examined. Sphingosine increased the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 of around 8 microM. Sphingosine and OKT3, a CD3 monoclonal antibody, transiently increased [Ca2+]i, which declined to the resting level in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Under the same conditions, pretreatment with sphingosine inhibited but did not abolish an increase in [Ca2+]i induced by the subsequent addition of OKT3 and vice versa. However, pretreatment with sphingosine did not affect an increase in [Ca2+]i induced by OKT3 in the presence of Ca2+. OKT3 increased IP3 formation, but sphingosine did not affect the level of IP3 by itself nor did it cause IP3 formation induced by OKT3. In permeabilized Jurkat cells, the addition of IP3 released Ca2+ from nonmitochondrial intracellular stores, but the addition of sphingosine did not. Sphingosine, stearylamine, and psychosine increased [Ca2+]i and diacylglycerol (DG) kinase activation; however, ceramide did not, whereas sphingosine 1-phosphate slightly activated DG kinase without elevation of [Ca2+]i. Pretreatment with R59022, a DG kinase inhibitor, abolished the peak but did not affect the sustained response to [Ca2+]i to sphingosine. Phosphatidic acid (PA) elevated [Ca2+]i, after which it declined to a resting level even in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. In accordance with this, PA did not stimulate 45Ca2+ uptake into cells, but sphingosine and OKT3 did. Pretreatment with PA partially inhibited a rise in [Ca2+]i induced by the subsequent addition of sphingosine and vice versa in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Under similar conditions, pretreatment with PA affected an elevation of [Ca2+]i induced by OKT3 less, after which the subsequent addition of sphingosine did not increase [Ca2+]i. In permeabilized Jurkat cells, the addition of IP3 did not release Ca2+, but PA did in the presence of heparin. Pretreatment with thapsigargin, a microsomal Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, abolished the rises of [Ca2+]i induced by the subsequent addition of sphingosine, OKT3, and PA in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The present results suggest that at least two kinds of intracellular Ca2+ stores exist in Jurkat cells, both of which are IP3- and PA-sensitive, and that sphingosine mobilizes Ca2+ from both stores in an IP3-independent manner. Furthermore, the IP3- but not the PA-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store seems to regulate Ca2+ entry induced by sphingosine.

Abstract
In ASM cells platelet-derived growth factor stimulates rapid transient sphingosine phosphate formation, the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK-2), the phosphorylation of p70(56K), and a ninefold increase in DNA synthesis. In contrast, this growth factor fails to activate c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Based upon these findings, we have tested whether the sphingomyelin-derived sphingolipids play a role in growth factor signalling by assessing their effect on ERK-2, JNK, and p70(56K). We demonstrate that sphingosine phosphate induces the activation of ERK-2, is ineffective against JNK, and fails to induce the phosphorylation of p70(56K). The latter may explain why it is a poor mitogen when added directly to ASM cells. In contrast, sphingosine and cell-permeable ceramides elicit the prominent tyrosyl phosphorylation and activation of JNK, are poor stimulators of ERK-2, and do not induce the phosphorylation of p70(56K). Therefore, the specificity of signalling through either ERK-2 or JNK cascades may be determined by the rapid agonist-dependent interconversion of these sphingomyelin-derived lipids. This may also provide a dynamic mechanism that enables growth factors and cytokines to elicit pleiotropic cell responses, such as proliferation and cell survival. For instance, both ceramide and sphingosine will elicit growth arrest via activation of JNK, whereas sphingosine phosphate will potentiate growth-factor-stimulated DNA synthesis, a consequence of the activation of ERK-2, Furthermore, under certain conditions, sphingosine and ceramide stimulate cAMP formation, a negative modulator of cell growth, whereas sphingosine phosphate depresses cAMP, thereby enhancing its own growth-promoting properties. From these studies, it is evident that sphingosine phosphate displays a signalling profile that is consistent with it mediating part of the action of platelet-derived growth factor.

Abstract
Tricyclodecan-9-yl-xanthogenate (compound D609) has recently been used in various cellular systems to specifically inhibit the activity of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho)-directed phospholipase C (PLC). Here we show that in intact NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, concentrations of D609 (35 to 50 micrograms/ml) which have been used to inhibit PLC activity also significantly inhibit phorbol ester-induced phospholipase D-mediated hydrolysis of both PtdCho and phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn). In addition, in isolated membranes compound D609 also inhibited PLC-mediated PtdEtn hydrolysis. The results indicate that compound D609 cannot be considered as a specific inhibitor of PtdCho-directed PLC activity.

Abstract
Long-chain (sphingoid) bases are highly bioactive intermediates for sphingolipid metabolism, yet relatively little is known about how the amounts of these compounds are regulated. This study used J774A.1 cells to characterize the "burst" of sphinganine and sphingosine, or the transient increase of up to 10-fold in long-chain base mass, that occurs when cells in culture are changed to fresh medium. The increase in sphinganine was attributable to de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis because: 1) there is increased incorporation of [3H]serine and [3H]palmitate into sphinganine; 2) the incorporation of [3H]serine was equivalent to the increase in sphinganine mass; 3) beta-F-alanine, an inhibitor of serine palmitoyltransferase, blocked the sphinganine burst; 4) the magnitude of the burst depended on the concentration of serine in the medium, which is known to affect long-chain base biosynthesis; and 5) the appearance of sphinganine was relatively unaffected by lyso-osmotrophic agents (NH4Cl and chloroquine) that blocked sphingolipid hydrolysis in these cells. In contrast, the sphingosine burst arose mainly from turnover of complex sphingolipids because no incorporation of [3H]serine or [3H]palmitate into sphingosine was detected; sphingosine mass was not affected by beta-F-alanine or the serine concentration; and, the burst could be followed by the release of sphingosine and ceramide from complex sphingolipids (especially sphingomyelin) in a process that was inhibited by NH4Cl and chloroquine. Additionally, the fate of these long-chain bases differed: sphinganine was mostly (80-85%) acylated and incorporated into dihydroceramide and complex sphingolipids, whereas most of the sphingosine (70%) was phosphorylated and degraded, with incorporation of the resulting ethanolamine phosphate into phosphatidylethanolamine. Sphinganine, however, could be diverted toward degradation by adding an inhibitor of N-acylation (fumonisin B1). In accounting for the elevation in sphingosine and sphinganine after cells are changed to new medium, these studies have provided fundamental information about long-chain base metabolism. The existence of differential changes in sphinganine and sphingosine, as well as their 1-phosphates and N-acyl-derivatives, should be considered when evaluating the roles of sphingolipid metabolites in cell regulation.

Abstract
It has been reported that in rat fibroblasts cell-permeable ceramide analogs inhibit agonist-induced phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). Here we demonstrate that relatively short (30 min) treatments of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts with 15-60 microM concentrations of N-acetylsphingosine result in preferential, although not exclusive, inhibition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced PLD-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn). The results suggest that in different cell types the PtdEtn- and PtdCho-hydrolyzing PLD activities are differentially sensitive to the inhibitory effect of ceramide.

Abstract
To investigate membrane lipid metabolism during smooth-muscle activation, the role of phospholipase D (PLD) in the production of phosphatidate (PA) was studied in rat small arteries stimulated with noradrenaline. Incubation with [3H]myristate preferentially labelled phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho), and in the presence of 0.5% ethanol [3H]phosphatidylethanol ([3H]PEt) was formed, demonstrating PLD activity. Noradrenaline (NA) stimulation resulted in an increase in PtdCho derived [3H]PA and [3H]PEt formation, indicating PLD activation. Stimulation of [14C]choline release confirmed PLD-mediated hydrolysis of PtdCho. Propranolol, an inhibitor of PA phosphohydrolase, increased [3H]PA levels in non-stimulated tissue and decreased the rate of degradation of both [3H]PA and [3H]PEt, implying that this is an active route for PA metabolism in small arteries. However, [3H]diacylglycerol levels were not increased during NA stimulation. Fluoroaluminate increased [3H]PEt formation and [14C]choline release, whereas high K+ in the presence of alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockade did not. Pervanadate increased phosphotyrosine levels in small arteries, and markedly stimulated [3H]PEt formation and [14C]choline release. The combination of pervanadate and NA stimulation resulted in a dramatic increase in [3H]PEt formation, which was greater than the sum of the individual responses to the two agonists. Pervanadate and fluoroaluminate in combination appeared to give an additive response, whereas high K+ did not alter the pervanadate-induced formation of [3H]PEt. Phosphotyrosine levels were increased by NA in the presence of tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors. This effect was blocked by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. These data demonstrate that in NA-stimulated small arteries PLD-induced PtdCho hydrolysis contributes to accumulation of PA, but not of diacylglycerol. Furthermore, regulation of PLD activity appears to require G-protein and tyrosine-phosphorylation-linked pathways.

Abstract
The phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated synthesis of phosphatidylethanol (PtdEtOH) and the hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) were examined in drug-sensitive and multidrug-resistant lines of MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells. In drug-sensitive (MCF-7/WT) cells, the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) failed to enhance either the synthesis of PtdEtOH or the hydrolysis of either phospholipid. In the drug-resistant (MCF-7/MDR) cells, 100 nM PMA greatly enhanced both the synthesis of PtdEtOH (approximately 21-fold) and the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (approximately 29-fold), but had no effect on the hydrolysis of PtdCho. The PLD activators sphingosine and H2O2 were found to elicit only a slight (1.28-1.4-fold) stimulatory effect on PtdCho hydrolysis in both the MCF-7/WT and MCF-7/MDR cell types, and had only a small effect on PtdEtn hydrolysis in the MCF-7/WT cells as well. However, these agents significantly (approximately 2.6-3.5-fold) stimulated PtdEtn hydrolysis in the MCF-7/MDR cells. These data indicate that MCF-7/MDR cells contain a PtdEtn-specific PLD activity which can be selectively stimulated by PMA, sphingosine and H2O2.

Abstract
Propranolol and sphingosine exhibit several common biochemical effects, including inhibition of phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase and protein kinase C (PKC) activities. In NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, sphingosine has also been shown to stimulate phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of both phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) (Kiss Z and Anderson WB, J Biol Chem 265: 7345-7350, 1990). The present study demonstrates that in [14C]palmitic acid-labeled NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, propranolol (50-100 microM) and sphingosine had similar stimulatory effects on PLD-mediated synthesis of phosphatidylethanol in the presence of ethanol. In [14C]choline- and [14C]-ethanolamine-labeled fibroblasts, both compounds also stimulated the hydrolysis of both [14C]PtdCho and [14C]PtdEtn. However, while sphingosine preferentially stimulated PtdEtn hydrolysis, propranolol had greater effects on PtdCho hydrolysis. At each time point examined (15-45 min), lower concentrations (25-50 microM) of propranolol and 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) synergistically enhanced PtdEtn hydrolysis; a higher concentration (100 microM) of propranolol inhibited this PMA effect only when the incubation time was 45 min. On the other hand, propranolol (10-100 microM) had either no effect or it inhibited PMA-induced PtdCho hydrolysis after treatments for 15 or 45 min, respectively. These potentiating and inhibitory actions of propranolol on the hydrolysis of PtdCho and PtdEtn were similarly elicited by sphingosine. The present study identified the PLD system as another common target for the pharmacological actions of sphingosine and propranolol.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC), an enzyme which is believed to mediate the stimulatory effects of the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on phospholipase D (PLD) activity, has a zinc-dependent structure required for phorbol ester binding. Accordingly, zinc or zinc chelators would be expected to promote or inhibit, respectively, the stimulatory effects of PMA on PLD-mediated phospholipid hydrolysis. Instead, treatment of [14C]choline- and [14C]ethanolamine-labelled NIH 3T3 fibroblasts with the high-affinity zinc chelator 1,10-phenanthroline (0.2-1 mM) for 20-30 min was found to enhance the stimulatory effects of PMA on PLD-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. In [14C]palmitic acid-labelled fibroblasts, in the presence of ethanol, phenanthroline also enhanced the stimulatory effect of PMA on the synthesis of phosphatidylethanol, a marker of PLD activity. Addition of zinc (250 microM) to phenanthroline-treated fibroblasts reversed the stimulatory effects of the chelator. The potentiating effects of phenanthroline were also partially reversed by cadmium, whereas iron, lead, copper, magnesium and calcium were without effects. Of the other activators of PLD tested, phenanthroline also enhanced the stimulatory effects of platelet-derived growth factor and staurosporine, but not that of sphingosine and H2O2, on the hydrolysis of both phospholipids. These results suggest that regulation of PLD by PKC activators and staurosporine involves a common intermediate step, which is inhibited by a chelatable cellular pool of zinc.

Abstract
Many human tumors contain high concentrations of ethanolamine phosphate (EtnP). An important question is whether increased formation of EtnP is merely the consequence of cell transformation, or is it associated with the process of carcinogenesis. Here we show that in C3H/10T1/2 embryonic fibroblasts, an established cellular model for the study of carcinogenesis, the environmental carcinogens, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) (0.1-1 microgram/ml concentration; 24 h treatment), stimulate phosphorylation of ethanolamine derived from increased hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine. The results suggest that increased formation of EtnP is associated with the early stages of carcinogenesis. This observation may have prognostic value.

Abstract
Treatment of [14C]choline- or [14C]ethanolamine-labeled NIH 3T3 fibroblasts with Bacillus cereus phosphatidyl-choline-specific phospholipase C (PLC) enhanced phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of the respective 14C-labeled phospholipids. PLD activity was stimulated by 1.5 U/mL of PLC and by 100 nM of the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to similar extents. Treatment of [14C]palmitic acid-labeled fibroblasts with PLC in the presence of ethanol also enhanced PLD-mediated formation of phosphatidylethanol; the effects of PLC and PMA were nonadditive. PLC had no effect on PLD activity in fibroblasts in which PKC was down-regulated by prolonged (24 h) treatment with 300 nM PMA. These data indicate that treatment of fibroblasts with exogenous PLC results in PKC-dependent activation of PLD.
