title: Lipid metabolism in fibroblast growth factor-stimulated L6 myoblasts: a receptor mutation (Y766F) abrogates phospholipase D and diacylglycerol kinase activities.
abstract: Phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis induced by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was studied in rat L6 myoblasts expressing the wild-type FGF receptor-1 (FGFR-1) or a mutant (Y766F) that is incapable of activating phospholipase C-gamma (PLCgamma). Stimulation of FGFR-1 activated phospholipase D (PLD) rapidly and transiently, but did not induce PC-specific PLC activity. Downregulation of protein kinase C blocked bFGF-induced PLD activation but not phosphatidic acid formation by diacylglycerol (DG) kinase. Only phosphoinositide (PI)-derived DG, not PC-derived DG, appeared to be a substrate for DG kinase. Stimulation of FGFR-1(Y766F) did not activate PLD or DG kinase, both of which apparently require initial PLCgamma activation. The Y766F mutation reduced mitogen-activated protein kinase activation but not cell proliferation. We conclude that both PI turnover and PC hydrolysis are dispensable for bFGF-induced mitogenesis.
