, and Ras
GTPase-activating proteins (1). In addition, PA can be
further metabolized to form diacylglycerol (DAG) by PA
phosphohydrolase. DAG is a well-characterized activator of certain
protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms (1). Thus, the PA and DAG
formed via PLD activation have been implicated in a wide range of
physiological processes, including inflammation, secretion,
mitogenesis, and the respiratory burst in neutrophils
(2, 3, 4).
PLD activity is stimulated by a great variety of hormones, growth
factors, cytokines, and chemoattractants (5). Although it
has been suggested that PKC, calcium, GTP-binding proteins, and protein
tyrosine kinases are involved in the agonist-stimulated PLD activation
(6), the molecular mechanism of PLD activation is
still unknown. Recently, two distinct PLD isoforms,
PLD1 and PLD2, have
been cloned (7). The first cloned human PLD,
hPLD1, has low basal activity and is activated by
ARF1, RalA, RhoA, and PKC
in the presence of
PIP2 in vitro (7, 8, 9). PKC
activates the PLD1 activity by directly
interaction with PLD1 in the presence of PMA in
PLD1 -transfected COS-7 cells (10).
In addition, it has been reported that PLD1
activity is up-regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation in certain cell
types, such as HL-60 granulocytes and Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts (11, 12).
A second isoform of PLD, PLD2, also essentially requires PIP2 for its enzymatic activity. In contrast to PLD1, it is constitutively active in vitro, and its activity is not affected by PLD1-activating factors, such as ARF1, RhoA, and PKC in vitro (13). Colley et al. reported that PLD2 was highly active when it was transiently overexpressed in COS-7 cells (13). A recent report suggested that PLD2 activity may be regulated by epidermal growth factor receptor through an unknown mechanism in PLD2 -transfected HEK293 cells (14). However, it remains unclear how PLD2 activity is regulated in vivo.
In addition to the PLD-activating factors, including PKC, GTP binding proteins, and protein tyrosine kinases, Ca2+ ions, too, have been linked to PLD activation in several cell types, such as mast cells, neutrophils, platelets, macrophages, and erythroleukemia cells (6). There is good evidence implicating Ca2+-dependent PLD activation in diverse physiological responses, such as superoxide generation and secretion in hemopoietic cell lines (4, 15). However, the molecular identity of the Ca2+-dependent PLD isoform and the molecular mechanism of Ca2+-induced PLD activation remain unknown.
In this report we show evidence that PLD2 is highly expressed in both P388D1 macrophages and lymphocytic leukemic L1210 cells. In addition, for the first time we demonstrate that PLD2 can be specifically activated by A23187-induced calcium influx and that Ca2+-dependent cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) is involved in Ca2+-dependent PLD2 activation in L1210 and P388D1 cells. We, therefore, suggest the possible participation of PLD2 in cellular responses that involve cPLA2 activation in these cell lines.

[5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-3H]Arachidonic acid ([3H]AA; 100 Ci/mmol) and [3H]myristic acid were purchased from DuPont-New England Nuclear (Boston, MA) and Amersham International (Aylesbury, U.K.), respectively. Arachidonyltrifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3), methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate (MAFP), and phosphorothioate cPLA2 antisense and control oligonucleotides were purchased from Biomol (Plymouth Meeting, PA). DMEM and FCS were obtained from Life Technologies (Gaithersburg, MD). PMA, mepacrine, and A23187 were purchased from Calbiochem-Novabiochem (La Jolla, CA). AA was obtained from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI). Palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) and palmioyl-lysophosphatidylethanolamine (lysoPE) were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). The hPLD2 cDNA and anti-cPLA2 Ab were provided by Dr. J. David Lambeth (Emory University, Atlanta, GA) and D. K. Kim (Chung-ang University, Seoul, Korea), respectively. Polyclonal antisera that recognized both PLD1 and PLD2 were produced by immunization of a rabbit with a synthetic peptide corresponding to aa residues 10631072 of the sequence of human PLD1 as described previously (16).
Cell culture
Four different hemopoietic cell lines, human monocytic leukemic U937, mouse lymphocytic leukemic L1210, mouse P388D1 macrophage, and human erythroleukemic K562, were originally obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA) and maintained in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine at 37°C in a humidified, CO2-controlled (5%) incubator. COS-7 cells were maintained in DMEM containing high glucose, 10% bovine calf serum (HyClone, Logan, UT), and 2 mM L-glutamine at 37°C in a humidified, CO2-controlled (5%) incubator.
Transfection and transient expression
For transient expression of PLD isoforms, COS-7 cells were plated at a density of 4 x 105 cells/well in six-well plates and incubated overnight in a 5% CO2 incubator. One microgram of DNA and 6 µl of LipofectAmine (Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD) were then used according to the manufacturers protocol. In antisense studies, COS-7 cells and L1210 cells were exposed to 1 µM phosphorothioate antisense or control cPLA2 oligonucleotides in the presence of LipofectAmine. Twenty-four hours later, the cells were starved in DMEM or RPMI containing high glucose and 2 mM L-glutamine for 21 h, after which PLD and PLA2 activities were measured.
Measurement of phosphatidylbutanol (PBtOH)
PLD activity was assayed by measuring the formation of PBtOH, the product of PLD-mediated transphosphatidylation, in the presence of 1-butanol as previously described with a slight modification (17). The four hemopoietic cell cultures were harvested, resuspended at a density of 1 x 106 cells/ml, starved in serum-free RPMI for 21 h, and then labeled with [3H]myristic acid (1 µCi/ml) for 3 h. Transfected COS-7 cells were also starved in serum-free DMEM for 21 h and then labeled with [3H]myristic acid. Unincorporated [3H]myristic acid was removed by washing with PBS. The cells were then treated with fresh serum-free medium with (or without for the control) agonists in the presence of 1% 1-butanol for the indicated times at 37°C. After the incubation the medium was aspirated, and 0.5 ml of ice-cold methanol was added to each well. The cell debris was then scraped into an Eppendorf tube, and chloroform and H2O were added, resulting in a final chloroform/methanol/H2O ratio of 1/1/1 (v/v/v). After vortexing, the tubes were centrifuged at 15,000 x g for 1 min, and the organic phase was harvested, dried, and spotted onto a Silica Gel 60 TLC plate, which was then developed with chloroform/methanol/acetic acid (90/10/10, v/v/v). The amounts of labeled PBtOH and total lipids were determined with a Fuji BAS-2000 image analyzer (Tokyo, Japan).
Measurement of AA release
The cells of four hemopoietic cells lines (1 x 106 cells/ml) were incubated with [3H]AA (1 µCi/1 ml) in RPMI for 24 h as previously reported with a slight modification (18). COS-7 cells grown in six-well plates were loaded with [3H]AA (1 µC/1 ml) in DMEM. After three washes with fresh medium, 1 ml of serum-free medium with or without agonist was added, and the amount of free [3H]AA released into the supernatant was measured by liquid scintillation counting. The percentage of AA released was calculated according to the formula (S/(S + P)) x 100, where S and P are the radioactivities measured in equal portions of the supernatant and the cell pellet, respectively.
Immunoprecipitation and Western blotting
PLDs were immunoprecipitated essentially as previously reported (19). In brief, the cells were solubilized with ice-cold lysis buffer (20 mM HEPES-NaOH (pH 7.5), 2% cholic acid, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 10 µg/ml leupeptin, 10 µg/ml aprotinin, and 1 mM PMSF) and precleared by centrifugation at 15,000 x g for 10 min at 4°C. Immunoprecipitations were performed with the addition of 30 µl of protein A-agarose (Pierce, Rockford, IL) coupled to 2 µg of anti-PLD Ab for 3 h, followed by a brief centrifugation. The precipitates were washed three times with washing buffer (20 mM HEPES-NaOH (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% cholic acid, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, and 1 mM PMSF). For gel electrophoresis, the immunoprecipitates were boiled in Laemmli sample buffer, and the proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Schleicher and Schuell, Dassel, Germany). Blocking was performed with TBS buffer (10 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, and 0.05% Tween-20) containing 5% skimmed milk powder. The membranes were then incubated with the primary Ab at the concentration recommended by the manufacturer for 2 h at room temperature. The immunoblots were subsequently washed and incubated with HRP-linked secondary Ab (Kirkegaard & Perry Laboratories, Gaithersburg, MD) for 1 h at room temperature, rinsed four times in TBS buffer, and developed with HRP-dependent chemiluminescence reagents (Amersham International).

To elucidate how the PLD2 activity is
regulated in leukocytes, we examined agonist-induced PLD activities in
several cell lines that exclusively expressed either
PLD1 or PLD2. Employing
immunoprecipitation with anti-PLD Ab and subsequent immunoblot
analysis, we found that PLD1 and
PLD2 were differentially expressed in four
hemopoietic cell types: promonocytic U937, erythroleukemic K562, P388D1
macrophage, and lymphocytic leukemic L1210 cells. As shown in Fig. 1
A, U937 and K562 cells mainly
contained PLD1, whereas
PLD2 was barely detectable in these cells. In
contrast, mainly PLD2 was detected in both P388D1
and L1210 cells. The expression levels of PLD1
were far less than those of PLD2; thus, P388D1
and L1210 cells made excellent models in which to study the regulatory
mechanism pertaining to PLD2 activity. To
delineate the signaling pathways involved in PLD2
activation, we examined the effects of PMA and A23187, substances that
have been implicated in PLD activation in a variety of cell lines, on
PLD activities in the four cell lines. PLD activity in U937 and K562
cells, which mainly expressed PLD1, was
potently stimulated by treatment with PMA (Fig. 1
B), and
PMA-induced PLD activity was higher than A23187-induced PLD
activity in these two cell lines, suggesting a major role for
PMA-dependent PKC in PLD1 activation, which is
consistent with previous reports (10, 13). On the other
hand, both P388D1 and L1210 cells, which strongly express
PLD2, have a higher basal PLD activity than U937
and K562 cells. These results are in agreement with a previous report
that stated that PLD2 maintains high basal
activity (13). Intriguingly, the PLD activities of both
P388D1 and L1210 cells were more potently activated by treatment with
A23187 than by treatment with PMA (Fig. 1
B). The
A23187-induced PLD activities in these cell lines were completely
blocked by the presence of 2 mM EGTA in the medium, suggesting that
A23187 is implicated in PLD activation via Ca2+
influx (data not shown). These results suggest that
PLD1 and PLD2 must be
differentially regulated by the two PLD-activating signals, PMA and
A23187, and that the A23187-induced Ca2+ influx
may be implicated in the up-regulation of PLD2 in
both L1210 and P388D1 cells.
|
Despite the differential distribution of the PLD isoforms and the
distinctive PLD activations in response to PMA or A23187 in the four
hemopoietic cell lines, it remained unclear whether
PLD2 was specifically activated by the
A23187-induced Ca2+ influx in both L1210 and
P388D1 cell lines. To gain more insight into the effect of a
Ca2+ increase on PLD2
regulation, we transiently expressed either hPLD1
or hPLD2 in COS-7 cells, where we then measured
PLD activity in response to PMA or A23187. As shown in Fig. 2
A, overexpression of
PLD2 resulted in high basal activity (up to
5-fold higher than in the vector-transfected COS-7 cells), which could
be further stimulated by treatment with 2 µM A23187. The
A23187-specific activation of PLD2 (3-fold above
the basal level) was more evident when the endogenous component of the
response was subtracted. PMA treatment did not affect the
PLD2 activity in
PLD2-transfected COS-7 cells (Fig. 2
B). In contrast to PLD2,
PLD1 had low basal activity, although the
expression level of PLD1 was comparable with that
of PLD2, and the PLD1
activity could be further stimulated by treatment with PMA as well as
with A23187 (Fig. 2
A). Thus, the stimulatory effect of
A23187 on the PLD activity in PLD2-transfected
COS-7 cells supports the conclusion that PLD2
activity is selectively up-regulated following A23187-induced
Ca2+ influx in both P388D1 and L1210 cells (Fig. 1
B).
|
In contrast to the Ca2+-dependent
PLD2 activation in the
PLD2-containing cell lines, including P388D1,
L1210, and the PLD2-transfected COS-7 cells,
purified PLD2 activity could not be stimulated by
Ca2+ in vitro (data not shown). This suggests
that a Ca2+-dependent activating factor may be
working in regulating PLD2 activity. Recently, it
had been reported that PLA2 was involved in the
up-regulation of PLD activity in rat heart sarcolemmal membranes
(20) and in L1210 cells (21).
Ca2+ has been known to induce translocation of
cPLA2 and subsequent activation of
cPLA2 (22, 23, 24, 25) This suggests the
possibility that cPLA2 might be involved in the
regulation of PLD2 activity. We therefore
examined the effects of PMA and A23187 on
PLA2-mediated AA release in the four hemopoietic
cell lines. As shown in Fig. 3
A, A23187, but not PMA,
potently increased AA release in both P388D1 and L1210 cells. In K562
and U937 cells neither A23187 nor PMA had a stimulatory effect on AA
release. In agreement with these observations of AA release is the fact
that while cPLA2 was detected by immunoblot
analysis in both L1210 and P388D1 cells, it was not detected in K562
and U937 cells (Fig. 3
B). The results raise the possibility
that Ca2+-dependent cPLA2
activation may be involved in A23187-induced PLD activation in both
P388D1 and L1210 cells.
|
To assess the contribution of cPLA2 to
A23187-induced PLD activation, we studied what effect
AACOCF3, a specific inhibitor of cytosolic
Ca2+-dependent PLA2, had on
PMA- or A23187-induced PLD activity in L1210 cells. As shown in Fig. 4
A, A23187-induced PLD
activity could be inhibited by treatment of the cells with 20 µM
AACOCF3, whereas PMA-dependent PLD activity was
not affected. Consistent with these results is the finding that
PLA2-mediated AA release was specifically
stimulated by treatment with A23187, but not by treatment with PMA, and
that A23187-induced AA release was markedly suppressed by 20 µM
AACOCF3 treatment (Fig. 4
B). These
results suggest that the A23187-stimulated PLD2
activity is up-regulated by prior activation of the
Ca2+-dependent PLA2,
whereas PMA-stimulated PLD activity, which may be caused via activation
of PLD1, is not mediated by
cPLA2 in L1210 cells.
|
|
|
To further establish whether the PLD2
activity is regulated by PLA2 activation in a
Ca2+-dependent manner, we measured the PLD and
PLA2 activities in PLD2-transfected COS-7
cells. As shown in Fig. 7
A,
the A23187-induced PLD2 activity (
3-fold above
the basal level, after subtraction of the endogenous component of the
response as described in Fig. 2
B) was specifically inhibited
by pretreatment with 20 µM AACOCF3. In contrast
to A23187-induced PLD2 activity, PMA- or
A23187-stimulated PLD1 activity was not affected
by pretreatment with AACOCF3, indicating that
PLD1 activity was not linked to
PLA2 activation. Treatment with A23187 increased
PLA2-mediated AA release up to about 3% of the
total lipids in the COS-7 cells, and A23187-mediated AA release was not
affected by overexpression of the PLD isoforms (Fig. 7
B).
Consistent with the inhibitory effect of AACOCF3
on A23187-stimulated PLD2 activity,
AACOCF3 also inhibited A23187-induced AA release
(Fig. 7
B). In addition to AACOCF3,
treatment with MAFP or mepacrine also inhibited the A23187-stimulated
PLD2 and PLA2 activation
(Fig. 8
, A and B).
These findings support the conclusion that PLD2
activity is regulated by Ca2+-dependent
PLA2 activation in L1210 cells.
|
|
To corroborate the finding that cPLA2 is
required for A23187-induced PLD2 activation, we
took another approach to the regulatory activity of
cPLA2. In these studies we used
cPLA2-specific antisense oligonucleotides to
inhibit cPLA2 expression, and a
cPLA2 sense oligonucleotide as a control in
parallel cultures as described in Materials and Methods.
Western blot analysis using a cPLA2-specific Ab
(Fig. 9
, A and D)
showed that cPLA2 protein expression was
inhibited in the presence of cPLA2-specific
antisense oligonucleotides in both L1210 cells and
PLD2-transfected COS-7 cells, whereas the sense
oligonucleotide had no effect on cPLA2 protein
expression. We also examined both A23187-induced PLD and
PLA2 activities in L1210 cells and
PLD2-transfected COS-7 cells containing either
antisense or sense oligonucleotides. As shown in Fig. 9
, B
and E, A23187-induced PBtOH formation was substantially
inhibited by the presence of antisense oligonucleotides. In contrast,
the sense oligonucleotide did not affect PBtOH formation. Consistent
with the inhibitory effect of the cPLA2 antisense
oligonucleotide on A23187-induced PLD activity, A23187-induced AA
release was also attenuated by the presence of the cotransfected
cPLA2 antisense oligonucleotide (Fig. 9
, C and F). This supports the conclusion that
cPLA2 is implicated in the A23187-induced
PLD2 activation.
|
Since AACOCF3 could inhibit
PLD2 activity, we explored whether metabolites
such as AA and lysoPC, which result from PLA2
activity, would overcome the inhibitory effect of
AACOCF3 on the stimulation of PLD activity in
both L1210 and PLD2-transfected COS-7 cells. As
shown in Fig. 10
A, exogenous
addition of 20 µM AA in the absence of A23187 did not stimulate PBtOH
formation by L1210 cells. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of
AACOCF3 on PLD activity could not be restored by
the addition of exogenous AA. In addition to AA, other fatty acids,
including oleic acid and palmitic acid, did not activate PLD activity
in L1210 cells (data not shown). On the other hand, exogenous addition
of 20 µM lysoPC did stimulate PLD activity in the absence of A23187.
Lysophosholipids are natural amphiphiles, affecting membrane
permeability as a detergent. Thus, this detergent property may be
responsible for PLD2 activation. However, this is
unlikely, because, in contrast to lysoPC, lysoPE had no effect on
PLD2 activity in either cell type (Fig. 10
, A and B). Intriguingly, the lysoPC stimulation of
PLD activity was not affected by pretreatment with
AACOCF3, and exogenously added lysoPC could
overcome the inhibitory effect of AACOCF3 on PLD
activity. This implicates lysoPC, which is generated by
cPLA2, in the A23187-dependent regulation of PLD
activity in L1210 cells. To confirm the lysoPC interference in the
inhibitory effect of AACOCF3 on
PLD2 activity, we next examined what effect
lysoPC would have on the PLD activity of
PLD2-transfected COS-7 cells. As shown in Fig. 10
B, exogenous addition of 20 µM lysoPC, but not of 20
µM AA, could restore the AACOCF3-mediated
inhibition of A23187-stimulated PLD2 activity.
Based on these observations, we suggest that lysoPC could be a
participant in the cPLA2-dependent regulation of
PLD2 activity.

PLA2 has been implicated in cellular responses
such as inflammation and superoxide generation through the generation
of AA and lyso-PAF, which are the precursors of a wide spectrum of
proinflammatory mediators, such as PGs, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, and
platelet-activating factor, in hemopoietic cells (23, 24, 25).
A large number of agonists that stimulate PLA2
activity also stimulate PLD activity (27), suggesting that
the activation of PLA2 and PLD may be linked. PA
generated by PLD has been reported to be essential for agonist-induced
PLA2 activation (28, 29, 30), and
PLA2-mediated AA release has been shown to be
inhibited by treatment with ethanol, which blocks PLD-mediated PA
formation (28, 29). Balboa et al. (30)
recently reported that PA phosphohydrolase generates diacylglycerol
from PA, which is produced during PMA-dependent PLD activation.
Diacylglycerol plays a key role in PMA-dependent
PLA2 activation in human amniotic WISH cells.
Thus, these various reports suggest that PLA2
activity is up-regulated by PA and diacylglycerol, which are produced
by PLD activity. However, for COS-7 cells the participation of PLD in
agonist-induced PLA2 activation can be ruled out
based on the following findings. First, overexpression of the two PLD
isozymes does not result in an increase in
PLA2-mediated AA release in COS-7 cells (Fig. 7
B). Second, A23187-induced PLA2
activation is not affected by the presence of 1% ethanol, which would
have blocked the production of PLD-mediated PA (data not shown). Third,
treatment with PMA, which induces PKC-dependent
PLD1 activation, does not increase AA release in
COS-7 cells (Fig. 7
B), suggesting that
PLA2 activation does not require prior PLD
activation. These results are consistent with a previous report that
demonstrated that PMA induces PLD activity, but not
PLA2-mediated AA release, in P388D1 cells
(31). The regulation of PLD2
activity by Ca2+-dependent
PLA2 activation therefore suggests a possible
involvement of PLD2 in
PLA2-dependent cellular responses such as
inflammation and superoxide generation.
PLD2 activity in PLD2
-transfected COS-7 cells was specifically stimulated by A23187-induced
Ca2+ influx (Fig. 2
). This suggests that
PLD2 activity may become up-regulated in response
to a rise in intracellular Ca2+. However,
purified PLD2 does not require
Ca2+ for optimal activation in vitro (data not
shown), and it does not have any Ca2+ binding
domains such as the calcium-dependent phospholipid binding domain or C2
domains. The data, therefore, suggest that Ca2+
is unlikely to directly modulate the catalytic activity of
PLD2 and that the
Ca2+-induced PLD2
activation may be mediated by prior stimulation of a
Ca2+-dependent signaling enzyme, possibly
cPLA2. cPLA2 contains an
N-terminal calcium-dependent phospholipid binding domain that shares
homology with the C2 domains in the conventional isoforms of PKC,
phospholipase C
, synaptotagmin, and p120GAP
(22). Thus, cPLA2 translocates from
the cytosol to the membrane in response to increased cytosolic free
Ca2+ mobilized from intracellular stores and/or
increased influx of extracellular Ca2+. The
Ca2+-dependent translocation then induces
cPLA2-mediated AA release. In our study we
demonstrated inhibition of Ca2+-stimulated
PLD2 activity by
cPLA2-specific inhibitors,
AACOCF3 and MAFP, in both L1210 and COS-7 cells.
Our results, therefore, indicate that PLD2
activity is up-regulated following the intracellular calcium rise
induced by A23187 and that cPLA2 participates in
the Ca2+-dependent PLD2
activation.
Conventional isoforms of PKC, which can be activated by an
intracellular Ca2+ rise as well as treatment with
PMA, have been seen to regulate PLD activity in a variety of cell types
(32). It has been reported previously that the enzymatic
activity of purified PLD1 is directly regulated
by PKC
, a conventional isoform of PKC, in a PMA-dependent manner
(33, 34). In agreement with these observations, we found
that A23187-induced Ca2+ influx, and that PMA
stimulated the enzymatic activity of PLD1 in
PLD1-transfected COS-7 cells (Fig. 2
) and also in
U937 and K562 cells, which mainly contain PLD1
(Fig. 1
B). However, both PMA and Ca2+
ions have been implicated in the up-regulation of
cPLA2 activity in certain other cell types, such
as macrophages and neutrophils (32, 33), although in many
cell types PMA is only effective when combined with a
calcium-mobilizing agonist (34). Thus, it is difficult to
determine whether the PMA- or Ca2+-induced PLD
activation derives from PKC-dependent PLD1
activation or cPLA2-dependent
PLD2 activation. In this study we show that the
cells of four cell lines (U937, K562, P388D1, and L1210) responded
differentially to PMA or A23187 in terms of PLD activity as well as AA
release. In contrast to the stimulatory effect of either PMA or A23187
on PLD1 activity in both U937 and K562 cells, PMA
and A23187 had no effect on AA release in these two cell lines.
Moreover, the PMA- or A23187-induced PLD activities of these two cell
lines were not affected by pretreatment with
AACOCF3. This suggests a
PLA2-independent regulation of
PLD1. PLA2-independent
PLD1 regulation is also supported by the finding
that PMA- or A23187-stimulated PLD1 activity was
not inhibited by pretreatment of PLD1-transfected
COS-7 cells with AACOCF3 (Fig. 7
A). On
the other hand, treatment with A23187, but not PMA, specifically
induced both PLD2 activity and AA release in
P388D1 and L1210 cells. This indicates that PKC is not implicated in
PLA2-mediated AA release and
PLD2 activation in P388D1 and L1210 cells.
Consistent with our results is the reported existence of a
PKC-independent PLA2 activation pathway
(31). Balsinde et al. demonstrated that
PLA2-mediated AA release in P388D1 macrophages is
not affected by treatment of the cells with PMA. Therefore, the four
cell lines, U937, K562, P388D1, and L1210, make useful models in which
to study the two independent signal transduction pathways, one leading
to PKC-mediated PLD1 activation and the other to
PLA2-mediated PLD2
activation, which appears not to require PKC activation. Our research
also showed that it is possible to use PLA2
inhibitors to study physiological responses related to agonist-induced
PLD2 activation.
We showed that Ca2+ influx leads to
PLD2 activation in L1210 and P388D1 cells.
However, PMA also increases PLD activity in these two cell types,
indicating the existence of a PMA-dependent PLD1
in these cell types, albeit the expression levels of
PLD1 are far less than those of
PLD2 as shown in Fig. 1
A. It is not
likely that PMA-dependent PLD1 activity is
regulated via the PLA2-dependent pathway, because
PMA does not increase PLA2-mediated AA release in
these cells, and PMA-stimulated PLD activity was not affected by
treatment with AACOCF3, not only in L1210 cells
(Fig. 4
A) but also in P388D1 macrophages (data not shown).
Thus, the PMA-dependent PLD1 activity must be
differentiated from the PLD2 activity, which is
regulated by Ca2+-dependent
PLA2 activation in both L1210 and P388D1
cells.
cPLA2-mediated PC hydrolysis leads to the
concomitant generation of AA and lysoPC, which act as second
messengers, activating diverse signaling enzymes (22, 23, 24, 25).
Various reports suggested that unsaturated fatty acids, including oleic
acid and AA, directly stimulate the enzymatic activity of certain PLD
isotypes in vitro (35, 36, 37, 38, 39), whereas lysoPC has been
reported to inhibit the enzymatic activities of both
PLD1 and PLD2 in vitro
(40). Intriguingly, we found that unsaturated fatty acids
specifically activate the enzymatic activity of
PLD2, but not of PLD1, in
vitro (16). These results suggest that AA, which is
generated via cPLA2 activation, may be implicated
in the regulation of PLD2 activity in vivo.
However, PLD2 activity was affected by treatment
with exogenous lysoPC, but not AA, in both intact L1210 cells and
PLD2-transfected COS-7 cells (Fig. 10
). Moreover,
the inhibitory effect of AACOCF3 on PLD activity
can be restored by the exogenous addition of lysoPC, but not by the
addition of AA. However, it remains unclear whether
PLD2 activity can be directly stimulated by
lysoPC in intact cells, because lysoPC does not stimulate
PLD2 activity in vitro. Thus, it will be
necessary to investigate exactly how PLD2
activity may be regulated by lysoPC in intact cells.
In the present report we show evidence that PLD2 activity is affected by A23187-induced Ca2+ influx in both P388D1 and L1210 cells, and that cPLA2 activation is implicated in this Ca2+-dependent PLD2 activation. The discovery of this novel signaling mechanism for the regulation of PLD2 will perhaps lead us to a full understanding of such physiological phenomena as inflammation, in which PLD may be implicated.
