Novel mechanism of diglyceride formation: 12-O-tetra-decanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate stimulates the cyclic breakdown and resynthesis of phosphatidylcholine
12-O-Tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells resulted in an increased incorporation of /sup 32/P/sub i/ and (methyl-/sup 3/H)choline into choline-containing phosphoglycerides (PC). In pulse-chase experiments, TPA treatment caused an increased release of (methyl-/sup 3/H)choline from the PC fraction of prelabeled cells. When cells were prelabeled with (/sup 3/H)arachidonic acid and (/sup 14/C)palmitic acid, TPA treatment resulted in an increased synthesis of /sup 3/H- and /sup 14/C-diglycerides. Further studies were done to determine the relationship between PC breakdown and diglyceride synthesis. Cells were preincubated with ether-linked 1-O-(/sup 3/H)hexadecyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine which was acylated to form 1-O-(/sup 3/H)hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. Subsequent treatment of these cells with TPA resulted in an increased synthesis of 1-O-(/sup 3/H)hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerol compared to that of cells not stimulated with TPA. These findings demonstrate that TPA stimulates PC turnover in MDCK cells and provides evidence for a novel mechanism of diglyceride formation by degradation of PC by a phospholipase C.
