Phosphatidylcholine-directed C: activation by complement.Am. J. Physiol. 265 (Renal Fhid EZectroZyte Physiol. 34): F551-F560, 1993.-In rat membranousnephropathy, complementinducesglomerularepithelial cell (GEC) injury and proteinuria. In cultured rat GEC, stimulates a phosphoinositide-directed(PL) C and products of PLC downregulate C5b-g-mediated GEC injury. We now report that CSb-g-induced hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) provides an additional sourceof 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG). PC was labeled in intact GEC by brief incubation with l-O[alizyl-3H]2-lyso-PC. Assembly of stimulated an increase in PC-derived [3H]DAG (173 & 18% control), which was reducedin GEC depletedof protein kinaseC (PKC) by prolonged preincubation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Similar to , [âH]DAG was releasedfrom PC after brief incubation of GEC with Ca2+ ionophore A23187 plus PMA. The increases [3H]DAG induced by and A23187 plus in PMA were paralleled by increasesin DAG mass. also increased[3H]phosphatidic acid (PA; 182 t 37% control), but there wasno significant interconversion of DAG and PA. Thus DAG probably originated via PLC. PC-directed PLC activity was also studied in GEC homogenates releaseof [14C]DAG by from exogenous1-palmitoyl-2- [ arachidonoyl- 14C] PC.
