Abstract

A HeLa cell line was constructed for the regulation of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) expression via a tetracycline-responsive promoter to test the role of CCT in apoptosis triggered by exposure of cells to the antineoplastic phospholipid 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ET-18-OCH3). Basal CCT expression in the engineered HeLa cell line was the same as in control HeLa cells lines, and CCT activity and protein were elevated 25-fold following 48 h of induction with doxycycline. Increased CCT expression prevented ET-18-OCH3-induced apoptosis. Acylation of exogenous lysophosphatidylcholine circumvented the requirement for CCT activity by providing an alternate route to phosphatidylcholine, and heightened CCT expression and lysophosphatidylcholine supplementation were equally effective in reversing the cytotoxic effect of ET-18-OCH3. Neither CCT overexpression nor lysophosphatidylcholine supplementation allowed the HeLa cells to proliferate in the presence of ET-18-OCH3, indicating that the cytostatic property of ET-18-OCH3 was independent of its effect on membrane phospholipid synthesis. These data provide compelling genetic evidence to support the conclusion that the interruption of phosphatidy...Continue Reading
