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.

Previously, the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor sphingosine was found to stimulate phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of both phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts [Kiss & Anderson (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 7345-7350]. Here we examined the possible relationship between the opposite effects of sphingosine on PKC-mediated protein phosphorylation and PLD activation. After treatments for 3-5 min, sphingosine (25 microM) and the PKC activators phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (100 nM), bryostatin (100 nM) or platelet-derived growth factor (50 ng/ml) synergistically stimulated the hydrolysis of both PtdEtn and PtdCho in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts prelabelled with [14C]ethanolamine or [14C]choline. Inhibition of PMA-induced phospholipid hydrolysis could also be elicited by sphingosine, but this process required prolonged (60 min) treatments of fibroblasts with 40-60 microM-sphingosine. Similarly to sphingosine, the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid also had either potentiating or inhibitory effects on PMA-stimulated PLD activity, depending on the length of incubation time and the concentration of PMA. Consistent with the presence of an inhibitory component in the overall action of PKC, the PKC inhibitor staurosporine and down-regulation of PKC activity by prolonged (24 h) treatment with PMA similarly enhanced PLD activity. Data suggest that (a) sphingosine may enhance PMA-mediated phospholipid hydrolysis by neutralizing the action of an inhibitory PKC isoform, and that (b) the stimulatory PKC isoform is less sensitive to the inhibitory action of sphingosine.

The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the stimulatory effects of protein kinase C activators, including phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and bryostatin, on the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) and on PtdCho synthesis. The cell lines used were selected because of their differential responses to protein kinase C activators and included rat-1 fibroblasts, untransformed and A-raf-transformed NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and human HL60 leukaemia cells. Exposure of rat-1 and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts to 100 nM-PMA stimulated phospholipase D-mediated hydrolysis of phospholipids about 2- and 6-fold respectively. In contrast, 100 nM-PMA had similar (2.5-3.0-fold) stimulatory effects on PtdCho synthesis in these cell lines. In the untransformed NIH 3T3 cells, both PMA and bryostatin stimulated both phospholipid hydrolysis and PtdCho synthesis, with 100 nM-bryostatin being somewhat less potent than 100 nM-TPA. In contrast, in A-raf-transformed NIH 3T3 cells or in HL60 cells, only TPA, but not bryostatin, stimulated PtdCho synthesis. In these transformed cells, bryostatin had 3-fold, or higher, stimulatory effects on phospholipid hydrolysis. Addition of ionomycin, a Ca2(+)-elevating agent, partially restored the stimulatory effect of bryostatin on PtdCho synthesis, but it failed to modify the effect of bryostatin on phospholipid hydrolysis. These data indicate that increased phospholipid hydrolysis is not necessarily associated with increased PtdCho synthesis.

In previous studies, activators of protein kinase C, sphingosine, ATP and various oncogenes were each found to enhance phospholipase D-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Here I examined possible stimulation of PtdEtn hydrolysis by various growth-stimulatory agents, including serum, bombesin, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and insulin. Treatment of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, prelabelled with [14C]Etn or [32P]PtdEtn, with PDGF-BB resulted in enhanced formation of [14C]Etn or [32P]phosphatidic acid from the respective labelled cellular pools of PtdEtn. A maximal effect (approximately 3-fold stimulation) on PtdEtn hydrolysis was obtained with 50 ng of PDGF/ml after 5 min of treatment. Phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) was also hydrolysed, although less extensively than PtdEtn, in PDGF-stimulated cells. PDGF-stimulate hydrolysis of both PtdEtn and PtdCho was prevented by prolonged (30 h) treatment of cells with 400 nM-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Similar to PDGF, fetal calf serum (1-10%) also stimulated PtdEtn hydrolysis. However, in contrast to PDGF, the effect of serum on PtdEtn hydrolysis (i) was not diminished by pretreatment with PMA, and (ii) was synergistic with that of PMA after a 1 h incubation. Compared with PDGF and serum, bombesin had less effect on PtdEtn hydrolysis, while FGF and insulin had no effects at all. In contrast to PDGF or serum, bombesin inhibited the effect of PMA on PtdEtn hydrolysis.
