Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Stimulation of rat thymocytes by concanavalin A (Con A) results in a very early increase of the cellular level of phosphatidic acid (PA), while that of diacylglycerol (DAG) was not affected. As the biological activity of PA is very likely to be determined by its molecular species composition, the present study aims to investigate the pathways leading to the production of PA in Con A-stimulated rat thymocytes. Prelabeling the cells with [3H]arachidonic acid, [3H]myristic acid, [3H]choline, or [14C]lysophosphatidylcholine allowed us to determine that PA is formed by both phosphoinositide (PIs) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis. We then investigated whether PA derived from PC was formed by phospholipase C (PLC) or phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolysis. In the presence of 1-butanol, the production of phosphatidylbutanol was only observed in tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA)-stimulated cells. The use of a specific PC phospholipase C inhibitor resulted in a decrease of Con A-stimulated PA production in cells labeled with [3H]myristate. When cells were labeled with [3H]choline, only TPA stimulation induced a release of labeled choline. All together, these experiments suggest that PA is originated from two phospholipid sources, predominantly PI via PLC hydrolysis and to a lesser extent PC, by PLC hydrolysis also. Molecular species analyses by reverse phase HPLC are in agreement with this hypothesis, as diacyl-GP molecular species composition is similar to that of diacyl-GPC and DAG in resting cells, but resembles that of diacyl-GPI in Con A-treated cells. Thus, in stimulated cells, the amount of 18:0/20:4 species doubled while those of saturated and monounsaturated species decreased.
