Abstract

We made stable cell lines overexpressing PLD1 (GP-PLD1) from GP+envAm12 cell, a derivative of NIH 3T3 cell. PLD1 activity and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation were enhanced in GP-PLD1 cells by the treatment of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). In contrast, these LPA-induced effects were attenuated with the pretreatment of pertussis toxin (PTX) or protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. Moreover, accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA), a product of PLD action, potentiated the LPA-induced ERK activation in GP-PLD1 cells while blocking of PA production with the treatment of 1-butanol attenuated LPA-induced ERK phosphorylation. From these results, we suggest that LPA activate PLD1 through pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein and PKC-dependent pathways, then PA produced from PLD1 activation facilitate ERK phosphorylation.
