Abstract
|
|
|
Growth factor-stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC), generating phosphatidic acid (PA) which may act as a second messenger during cell proliferation and survival. Therefore, PLD is believed to play an important role in tumorigenesis. In this study, a potential mechanism for PLD-mediated tumorigenesis was explored. Ectopic expression of PLD1 or PLD2 in human glioma U87 cells increased the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1¥á (HIF-1¥á) protein. PLD-induced HIF-1 activation led to the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a HIF-1 target gene involved in tumorigenesis. PLD induction of HIF-1¥á was significantly attenuated by 1-butanol which blocks PA production by PLD, and PA per se was able to elevate HIF-1¥á protein level. Inhibition of mTOR, a PA-responsive kinase, reduced the levels of HIF-1¥á and VEGF in PLD-overexpressed cells. Epidermal growth factor activated PLD and increased the levels of HIF-1¥á and VEGF in U87 cells. A specific PLD inhibitor abolished expression of HIF-1¥á and secretion of VEGF. PLD may utilize HIF-1-VEGF pathway for PLD-mediated tumor cell proliferation and survival.
