Abstract

Prostaglandin F2alpha, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and calcium ionophore A23187 stimulated the rapid (within 25 s) generation of polyunsaturated 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) species, in particular 18:0/20:3n-9, 18:0/20:4n-6 and 18:0/20:5n-3, in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. This was followed by a second sustained phase characterised by saturated, monounsaturated and diunsaturated DAG species derived, at least partially, from a phospholipase D/phosphatidate phosphohydrolase-linked pathway. This could be directly activated by phorbol ester. Assay of rat brain protein kinase C (PKC) in lipid vesicles showed that first phase, polyunsaturated-enriched DAG isolated from Swiss 3T3 cells was a more potent activator of kinase activity compared to that achieved with DAG from control or 5 min stimulated cells. Thus activation of distinct members of the phospholipase C family leads to the rapid and almost identical generation of polyunsaturated DAG species which are capable of preferentially activating protein kinase C (PKC).
