Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD), a phospholipid phosphohydrolase, catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine and other membrane phospholipids to phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline. PLD, ubiquitous in mammals, is a critical enzyme in intracellular signal transduction. PA generated by agonist- or reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated activation of the PLD1 and PLD2 isoforms can be subsequently converted to lysoPA (LPA) or diacylglycerol (DAG) by phospholipase A1/A2 or lipid phosphate phosphatases. In pulmonary epithelial and vascular endothelial cells, a wide variety of agonists stimulate PLD and involve Src kinases, p-38 mitogen activated protein kinase, calcium and small G proteins. PA derived from the PLD pathway has second messenger functions. In endothelial cells, PA regulates NAD[P]H oxidase activity and barrier function. In airway epithelial cells, sphingosine-1-phosphate and PA-induced IL-8 secretion and ERK1/2 phosphorylation is regulated by PA. PA can be metabolized to LPA and DAG, which function as first- and second-messengers, respectively. Signaling enzymes such as Raf 1, protein kinase Cζ and type I phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase are also regulated by PA in mammalian cells. Thus, PA and its metabolic products play a central role in modulating endothelial and epithelial cell functions.
