title: Phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C-mediated induction of phospholipase D activity in Fas-expressing murine cells.
abstract: We have previously reported that Fas cross-linking resulted in the activation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) and the subsequent activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and phospholipase D (PLD) in A20 cells. In an attempt to correlate the existence of PC-PLC activity and activation of PLD by Fas activation among various Fas-expressing murine cell lines, we have investigated the effect of anti-Fas monoclonal antibody on PC-PLC and PLD activities in A20, P388D1 and YAC-1 cell lines. Upon treatment of anti-Fas monoclonal antibody to these three cell lines, the activation of PLD was only observed in A20 cells. When the effect of anti-Fas monoclonal antibody on PKC and PC-PLC activities in Fas-expressing clones were investigated, the activation of PKC and PC-PLC was detected only in A20 clones. Results presented here also show that exogenous addition of Bacillus cereus PC-PLC activates PC hydrolysis, PKC and PLD in all three murine cell lines. These findings suggest that the activation of PC-PLC is a necessary requirement for the activation of PLD by Fas cross-linking and cell lines devoid of functional PC-PLC activity could exhibit enhanced PLD activity by exogenous addition of PC-PLC.
