Phosphatidates seem to play an important role in the control of cell proliferation modified by ligands (M. Kaszkin et al. 1991, Cancer Res. 51, 4328-4335). In this study the potency of calcium ionophore A23187 to alter phosphatidate levels in HeLa cells as a model was studied in detail. HeLa cells prelabeled with [14C]arachidonic acid responded to calcium ionophore A23187 with a rapid accumulation of labeled 1,2-diacylglycerophosphate (acyl-PA) and 2-acyl-1-O-alkylglycerophosphate (alkyl-PA) with a first peak at 5 min and a second increase starting at 20-30 min. In cells prelabeled with [14C]oleic acid the ionophore mobilized relatively more of labeled acyl-PA. The total amount of phosphatidates mobilized was in the order of 0.2 micrograms/10(6) cells, i.e. an almost 10(-4)M concentration. The transphosphatidylation of labeled acyl- and alkyl-PA to 1-butanol in all cases showed that activation of phospholipase D had occurred. The reaction became detectable at 10(-6)M ionophore and was fully expressed at 10(-5)M. Butyl phosphatidate generated during 1 h treatment with ionophore amounted to approx. 0.5 nmol per 10(6) cells (i.e. 10(-4)M conc. within cells) as shown by the use of [14C]butanol. The 3-5-fold rise of the overall phosphatidate level is probably sufficient to alter physically cellular membranes, particularly if the new phosphatidate is restricted to certain compartment(s).
