RESUMO

To study the influence of nuclear oncogenes on inositol phospholipid metabolism, we examined the various parameters of inositol phospholipid metabolism in PC12 cells expressing adenovirus type 12 or adenovirus type 5 E1A. Although the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate content was increased only slightly, the diacylglycerol content was 2.4-fold higher in E1A-expressing PC12 cells. Furthermore, we found that the activity of phospholipase C, one of the key enzymes in inositol phospholipid metabolism, was increased at least five- to eightfold. Diacylglycerol kinase activity in the membrane fraction was 10 to 15% of that in parental PC12 cells. Overall protein kinase C activities in E1A-expressing PC12 cells were decreased, but the activity of membrane-bound protein kinase C was significantly increased. These observations clearly indicate that inositol phospholipid metabolism is stimulated in cells producing E1A and suggest that nuclear oncogene E1A has the ability to stimulate inositol phospholipid metabolism.
