title: Regulation and metabolic role of phospholipase D activity in human thyroid and cultured dog thyrocytes.
abstract: The actions of TSH, ATP, the ionophore A23187, the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin, and phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu) on 3H-cytidine-monophosphate phosphatidic acid (3H-CMP-PA) accumulation were studied in human thyroid slices to evaluate PA generation and inositol recycling towards phosphatidyl-inositol synthesis. The effects of the same agonists also were measured on phosphatidylbutanol (PtdBut) generation in 3H-palmitate or 3H-myristate prelabeled slices to assess the activity of phospholipase D (PLD). The phospholipid target of this PLD was determined on 3H-choline prelabeled human thyroid slices by measuring 3H-choline release in incubation medium and slices and 3H-choline incorporation in phospholipids. TSH (10 U/L) stimulated 3H-CMP-PA accumulation in an LiCl-and propranolol-insensitive way, as well as 2H-fatty acids incorporation into PA, diacylglycerol, and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) with on evidence of dose-dependent effects and had no detectable action on PLD activity. The effects of TSH were not reproduced by Bu2cAMP or forskolin. Thapsigargin and A23187 both increased CMP-PA accumulation and PtdBut generation, whereas ATP only stimulated PLD activity. The phorbol ester PDBu (5 x 10(-7) mol/L) increased PtdBut formation and 3-H-fatty acid incorporation into PtdCho, but had no effect on CMP-PA generation. Staurosporine (STSP) (5 x 10(-6) mol/L), a nonspecific inhibitor of protein kinase C, unexpectedly reproduced the effects of PDBu. The increase of 3H-choline in slices' supernatant and the decrease of 3H-choline-labeled PtdCho induced by PDBu, ATP, thapsigargin, and STSP indicate that the activated PLD hydrolyzed PtdCho. We suggest that the PA generation induced by PLD stimulation could contribute to the stimulated H2O2 formation and iodide organification observed with the agonists inducing PtdBut accumulation. Indeed, Bu2cAMP and forskolin, known to decrease iodide organification in human thyroid, inhibited the PLD stimulation induced by ATP and PDBu. In cultured dog thyrocytes, phorbol esters, and STSP induced DNA synthesis and dedifferentiation, whereas thapsigargin inhibited TSH-induced growth and killed phorbol esters stimulated cells, suggesting a positive role of PLD stimulation towards dedifferentiated growth and of simultaneously raised [Ca2+)i and stimulated protein kinase C-PLD towards growth arrest and cellular death.
