Abstract
Tracking the localization and dynamics of the intracellular bioactive lipid phosphatidic acid (PA) is important for understanding diverse biological phenomena. Although several PA sensors have been developed, better ones are still needed for comprehensive PA detection in cells. We recently found that α-synuclein (α-Syn) selectively and strongly bound to PA in vitro. Here, we revealed that the N-terminal region of α-Syn (α-Syn-N) specifically bound to PA, with a dissociation constant of 6.6 μm. α-Syn-N colocalized with PA-producing enzymes, diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) β at the plasma membrane (PM), myristoylated DGKζ at the Golgi apparatus, phorbol ester-stimulated DGKγ at the PM, and phospholipase D2 at the PM and Golgi but not with the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-producing enzyme in COS-7 cells. However, α-Syn-N failed to colocalize with them in the presence of their inhibitors and/or their inactive mutants. These results indicate that α-Syn-N specifically binds to cellular PA and can be applied as an excellent PA sensor.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disease characterized by defects in the expression of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Gene therapy offers better hope for the treatment of CF. Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are capable of stable expression with low immunogenicity. Despite their potential in CF gene therapy, gene transfer efficiency by AAV is limited because of pathophysiological barriers in these patients. Although a few AAV serotypes have shown better transduction compared with the AAV2-based vectors, gene transfer efficiency in human airway epithelium has still not reached therapeutic levels. To engineer better AAV vectors for enhanced gene delivery in human airway epithelium, we developed and characterized mutant AAV vectors by genetic capsid modification, modeling the well-characterized AAV2 serotype. We genetically incorporated putative high-affinity peptide ligands to human airway epithelium on the GH loop region of AAV2 capsid protein. Six independent mutant AAV were constructed, containing peptide ligands previously reported to bind with high affinity for known and unknown receptors on human airway epithelial cells. The vectors were tested on nonairway cells and nonpolarized and polarized human airway epithelial cells for enhanced infectivity. One of the mutant vectors, with the peptide sequence THALWHT, not only showed the highest transduction in undifferentiated human airway epithelial cells but also indicated significant transduction in polarized cells. Interestingly, this modified vector was also able to infect cells independently of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan receptor. Incorporation of this ligand on other AAV serotypes, which have shown improved gene transfer efficiency in the human airway epithelium, may enhance the application of AAV vectors in CF gene therapy.

Abstract
In macrophages, extracellular ATP (ATPe) stimulation of P2X7 receptors (P2X7R) results in cation channel opening, non-specific pore formation, secretion of cytokines, killing of intracellular bacteria and cytolysis. Signaling pathways controlling these diverse responses are currently under investigation. Among these pathways, phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated in P2X7R-activated macrophages killing of intracellular pathogenic bacteria. Here we present evidence that early P2X7R-mediated PLD activation reduces pore opening and delays cytolysis of RAW 267.4 macrophages induced by ATPe. Use of inhibitors of PA metabolic enzymes suggests that PA, and not one of its metabolites, is the bioactive lipid. This is strengthened by the observation that addition of exogenous PA also reduces pore formation and cytolysis of RAW 264.7 macrophages. However, the beneficial effects of PA are only transient, due to its conversion into diacylglycerol through PA phosphatase-1 activity during prolonged P2X7R stimulation. Revealing that the PLD/PA pathway mediates survival of macrophages provides a potent strategy to inhibit P2X7R-mediated cytolysis by controlling PA metabolism. This will be important in the case of P2X7R-induced killing of intracellular bacteria which is lately associated with macrophage death, limiting the potency of ATPe to eliminate pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Epithelial polarity and tight junction formation limit the ability of adenovirus, retrovirus and adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver and express virally encoded genes. Using an extended half-life luciferase assay and high-throughput luminometry, we screened 23 000 compounds and natural product extracts as potentiators to overcome this barrier. Seven strong activators were discovered (up to several hundred fold above control) and two of these exhibited spectrum of activity in multiple cell types (HeLa (human cervical carcinoma), cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial (human bronchial), HT29 (human colonic carcinoma), Calu3 (airway serous glandular)). Enhanced transduction by unrelated gene transfer vectors (adenovirus, lentivirus, AAV, liposomal) was also observed. These results establish a strategy for identifying compounds that improve viral gene transfer to resistant cell types, and provide new tools for examining epithelial defense against viral infection. The compounds should have broad usefulness in experimental therapies for cancer and genetic diseases.

Abstract
The P2X family of ATP receptors (P2XR) are ligandgated channels that have been proposed to regulate cell death of immature thymocytes. However, the nature of the P2XR subtype involved has been controversial until recently. In agreement with previous studies, we found that extracellular ATP (ATPe) induces a caspase-dependent apoptosis of BALB/c thymocytes, as observed by DNA fragmentation. Additionally, ATPe induces a predominant caspase-independent thymocytes lysis characterized by plasma membrane disruption. Both responses to ATPe can be induced by a potent P2X7R agonist, benzoylbenzoyl-ATP, whereas P2X7R antagonists, oxidized ATP and pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid, inhibited the effect of ATPe. These results are further supported by observations where disruption of the P2X7R gene (P2X7R(-/-) mice) completely abolishes thymocytes death induced by ATPe. Interestingly, the natural P451L mutation in the C-terminal tail of P2X7R present in C57BL/6 mice, which impairs ATPe-dependent pore formation in T lymphocytes, significantly reduces thymocytes death triggered by ATPe. Furthermore, we found that P2X7R from BW5147 thymoma cells also harbors this point mutation, accounting for their insensitivity to ATPe-induced cell death. Concentrations of ATPe effective in inducing cell death also increase phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D (PC-PLD) activity in BALB/c thymocytes through the stimulation of P2X7R. However, in contrast to ATPe-induced cell death, PC-PLD activation is totally Ca(2+)-dependent. Moreover, the stimulation of PC-PLD by ATPe is not affected by the P451L mutation present in C57BL/6 thymocytes and BW5147 cells, suggesting that cell death and PC-PLD activity are regulated through distinct domains of the P2X7R. Finally, the inhibition of ATPe-induced PC-PLD stimulation does not affect thymocytes death. Altogether, these data suggest that P2X7R-induced thymocytes death is independent of the stimulation of PC-PLD activity.

Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis survives within host cells by inhibiting fusion between Chlamydia vacuoles and lysosomes. We show here that treatment of infected macrophages with ATP leads to killing of chlamydiae through ligation of the purinergic receptor, P2X(7)R. Chlamydial killing required phospholipase D (PLD) activation, as PLD inhibition led to rescue of chlamydiae in ATP-treated macrophages. However, there was no PLD activation nor chlamydial killing in ATP-treated P2X(7)R-deficient macrophages. P2X(7)R ligation exerts its effects by promoting fusion between Chlamydia vacuoles and lysosomes. P2X(7)R stimulation also resulted in macrophage death, but fusion with lysosomes preceded macrophage death and PLD inhibition did not prevent macrophage death. These results suggest that P2X(7)R ligation leads to PLD activation, which is directly responsible for inhibition of infection.

Abstract
p125, a mammalian Sec23p-interacting protein, exhibits sequence homology with bovine testis phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A(1). In this study, we identified and characterized a new homologue of p125, KIAA0725p. KIAA0725p exhibited remarkable sequence similarity with p125 throughout the entire sequence determined but lacked an N-terminal proline-rich, Sec23p-interacting region. In vitro binding analysis showed that KIAA0725p does not bind to Sec23p. KIAA0725p possessed phospholipase A(1) activity preferentially for phosphatidic acid. We examined the effects of overexpression of KIAA0725p on the morphology of organelles. Overexpression of KIAA0725p, like that of p125, caused dispersion of the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment and Golgi apparatus. Different from the case of p125, overexpression of KIAA0725p resulted in dispersion of tethering proteins located in the Golgi region and caused aggregation of the endoplasmic reticulum. Our results indicate that KIAA0725p is a new member of the phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A(1) protein family and suggest that the cellular function of KIAA0725p is different from that of p125.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) plays a central role in the control of vesicle budding and protein transit. We previously showed that in resting epithelial HT29-cl19A cells, PLD is implicated in the control of constitutive protein transit, from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane, and that phorbol ester stimulation of protein transit is correlated with PLD activation (Auger, R., Robin, P., Camier, B., Vial, G., Rossignol, B., Tenu, J.-P., and Raymond, M.-N. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 28652-28659). In this paper we demonstrate that: 1) PLD is not implicated in the earliest phases of protein transit; 2) PLD controls apical but not basolateral protein transit; 3) HT29-cl19A cells express PLD1b and PLD2a mRNAs and proteins; 4) the expression of a catalytically inactive mutant of PLD2 (mPLD2-K758R) significantly inhibited apical constitutive protein transit whereas expression of a catalytically inactive mutant of PLD1 (hPLD1b-K898R) prevented increases in the rate of apical transit as triggered by phorbol esters; 5) PLD2 appears to be located in a perinuclear region containing the Golgi whereas PLD1, which is scattered in the cytoplasm in resting cells, is translocated to the plasma membrane after phorbol ester stimulation. Taken together, these data lead to the conclusion that in HT29-cl19A cells, both PLDs regulate protein transit between the trans-Golgi network and the apical plasma membrane, but that they do so at different steps in the pathway.

Abstract
In a previous study, it was found that exposure to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) potentiated the electrophysiological response to carbachol in a time-dependent and cycloheximide-sensitive manner. It was deduced that the potentiation could be due to protein kinase C activity because of increased 1,2-diacylglycerol. It was also observed that propranolol could decrease the electrophysiological response to carbachol (Oprins JC, Meijer HP, and Groot JA. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 278: C463-C472, 2000). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the phospholipase D (PLD) pathway plays a role in the carbachol response and the potentiating effect of TNF-alpha. The transphosphatidylation reaction in the presence of the primary alcohol 1-butanol [leading to stable phosphatidylbutanol (Pbut) formation] was used to measure activity of PLD. The phosphatidic acid (PA) levels were also measured. Muscarinic stimulation resulted in an increased formation of Pbut and PA. TNF-alpha decreased levels of PA.
