The potent tumor promoter, TPA, exerts its earliest effects at the plasma membrane. Recent findings have shown that TPA stimulates a phospholipase C-mediated turnover of phosphatidyl-choline in several different cell types. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether TPA elicits a similar effect on the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) pool of HeLa cells. Three different series of experiments were performed. First, in HeLa cells pulse-labeled with (/sup 3/H)ethanolamine, TPA stimulated a 5-fold release of aqueous radiolabeled products into the extra-cellular medium after a 1-hour incubation. Second, when (/sup 3/H)ethanolamine and TPA were added simultaneously to the cells, TPA stimulated a 2-fold incorporation of radiolabel into the cellular PE pool. In both the release and incorporation of (/sup 3/H)ethanolamine, TPA had no significant effect on PE mass. Finally, when HeLa cells were incubated with exogenous 1-radyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(/sup 3/H)ethanolamine, TPA stimulated the formation of an aqueous radiolabeled product in the medium, which was identified as phosphoethanolamine. These results provide evidence that TPA stimulates a phospholipase C-mediated turnover of PE.
