title: Modification of phospholipase C and phospholipase A2 activities during poliovirus infection.
abstract: The infection of HeLa cells by poliovirus leads to profound alterations in the activities of both phospholipase C and the A23187-stimulated phospholipase A2. As early as the third hour after poliovirus infection, the activity of phospholipase C is enhanced, as measured by the increase in inositol triphosphate (IP3) in the cells. By the fifth hour post-infection there is a 5-fold increase in IP3 in the infected cells. Therefore, the synthesis of the bulk of poliovirus proteins and poliovirus genomes takes place in cells containing a high and sustained increase in IP3. This augmentation in IP3 is dependent on the multiplicity of infection used. Poliovirus gene expression is required to induce the increase in phospholipase C activity, since the presence of cycloheximide or guanidine blocked it. In contrast to the activation of phospholipase C induced by poliovirus, there is a drastic blockade of the A23187-induced phospholipase A2 activity, measured as the release of [3H]arachidonic acid to the medium. This action on phospholipase A2 is dependent on poliovirus gene expression because it was prevented by cycloheximide or 3-methylquercetin. To our knowledge this is the first report analyzing these two activities in animal virus-infected cells. The findings described may help to explain the profound modifications of both membrane permeability and lipid metabolism undergone by poliovirus-infected cells.
