Abstract

Bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAEC) were prelabeled with [3H]choline or [3H]myristic acid to selectively label endogenous phosphatidylcholine. BPAEC were stimulated with ATP and bradykinin (BK), and phospholipase D (PLD) activation was detected as a 4-fold increase in [3H]choline in cells prelabeled with [3H]choline or as a 2- to 3-fold increase in [3H]phosphatidylethanol in cells prelabeled with [3H]myristic acid and stimulated in the presence of ethanol. Pretreatment of BPAEC with 0.1 μM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 22 hr completely inhibited agonist-induced PLD activation, whereas prostacyclin synthesis and [3H]phosphoinositide ([3H]PIns) hydrolysis were enhanced in pretreated cells. Long-term PMA treatment thus dissociates agonist-induced PLD activation from [3H]PIns hydrolysis, and agonist-induced prostacyclin synthesis is not dependent upon PLD activation.
