Abstract
Phospholipases play a key role in the metabolism of phospholipids and in cell signaling. They are also a very useful tool to explore phospholipid structure and metabolism as well as membrane organization. They are at the center of this review, covering a period starting in 1971 and focused on a number of subjects in which my colleagues and I have been involved. Those include determination of phospholipid asymmetry in the blood platelet membrane, biosynthesis of lysophosphatidic acid, biochemistry of platelet-activating factor, first attempts to define the role of phosphoinositides in cell signaling, and identification of novel digestive (phospho)lipases such as pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (PLRP2) or phospholipase B. Besides recalling some of our contributions to those various fields, this review makes an appraisal of the impressive and often unexpected evolution of those various aspects of membrane phospholipids and lipid mediators. It is also the occasion to propose some new working hypotheses.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared cordycepin-enriched (CE)-WIB801C, a n-butanol extract of Cordyceps militaris-hypha, and investigated the effect of CE-WIB801C on collagen-induced human platelet aggregation. CE-WIB801C dose-dependently inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation, and its IC50 value was 175 μg/ml. CE-WIB801C increased cAMP level more than cGMP level, but inhibited collagen-elevated [Ca2+]i mobilization and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) production. cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cAMPS increased the CE-WIB801C-downregulated [Ca2+]i level in a dose dependent manner, and strongly inhibited CE-WIB801C-induced inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) phosphorylation. These results suggest that the inhibition of [Ca2+]i mobilization by CE-WIB801C is resulted from the cAMP/A-kinase-dependent phosphorylation of IP3R. CE-WIB801C suppressed TXA2 production, but did not inhibit the activities of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and TXA2 synthase (TXAS). These results suggest that the inhibition of TXA2 production by WIB801C is not resulted from the direct inhibition of COX-1 and TXAS. In this study, we demonstrate that CE-WIB801C with cAMP-dependent Ca2+-antagonistic antiplatelet effects may have preventive or therapeutic potential for platelet aggregation-mediated diseases, such as thrombosis, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, and ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The processes that govern the distribution of molecules between platelets and the microparticles (MP) they release are unknown. Certain proteins are sorted selectively into MP, but lipid sorting has not been studied. OBJECTIVES To compare the phospholipid composition and cholesterol content of platelet-derived MP obtained with various stimuli with that of isolated platelet membrane fractions. METHODS Washed platelets from venous blood of healthy individuals (n = 6) were stimulated with collagen, thrombin, collagen plus thrombin, or A23187. Platelet activation, MP release and antigen exposure were assessed by flow cytometry. MPs were isolated by differential centrifugation. Platelet plasma-, granule- and intracellular membranes were isolated from platelet concentrates (n = 3; 10 donors each) by pressure homogenization and Percoll density gradient fractionation. The phospholipid composition and cholesterol content of MPs and membrane fractions were analyzed by high performance thin layer chromatography. RESULTS The phospholipid composition of MPs was intermediate compared with that of platelet plasma- and granule membranes, and differed significantly from that of intracellular membranes. There were small but significant differences in phospholipid composition between the MPs produced by the various agonists, which paralleled differences in P-selectin exposure in case of the physiological agonists collagen, thrombin, or collagen plus thrombin. The cholesterol content of MPs tended to be higher than that of the three-platelet membrane fractions. CONCLUSIONS Regarding its phospholipid content, the MP membrane is a composite of the platelet plasma- and granule membranes, showing subtle differences depending on the platelet agonist. The higher cholesterol content of MPs suggests their enrichment in lipid rafts.

Abstract
From very recent studies, including molecular cloning of cDNA coding for membrane receptors, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) reached the status of a novel phospholipid mediator with various biological activities. Another strong argument supporting this view was the discovery that LPA is secreted from activated platelets, resulting in its appearance in serum upon blood coagulation. The metabolic pathways as well as the enzymes responsible for LPA production are poorly characterized. However, a survey of literature data indicates some interesting issues which might be used as the basis for further molecular characterization of phospholipases A able to degrade phosphatidic acid.

Abstract
Two methods are described enabling the plasma membrane from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to be obtained rapidly, relatively pure and with a good yield. In both cases, cells were disrupted by nitrogen cavitation in an isoosmotic buffer either at pH 5.4 or at pH 7.4. In the first approach, cells were lysed at pH 7.4 and the plasma membrane and cell organelles were isolated on a self-generated gradient of Percoll, at neutral pH. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum were recovered in the denser fractions, plasma membrane fragments were found in the lighter fractions, but always contaminated by lysosomes. Because lysosomes were found to sediment in acidic conditions, cells were lysed at pH 5.4 and presedimentation (1500 x g) of the cell homogenate at the same pH enabled more than 80% of the lysosomes to be removed. Then, ultracentrifugation of the supernatant over a Percoll gradient at neutral pH yielded plasma membrane fractions practically free of lysosomes with an enrichment ratio of 3 and fractions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum with enrichment ratios of 17 and 6, respectively. A major problem was encountered in the final step of elimination of Percoll from the purified plasma membrane fractions. Whatever the technique used for eliminating Percoll, plasma membranes were observed to be contaminated by a Percoll constituent which prevented further purification and biochemical identification of the lipids extracted from these membrane fractions to be carried out. A second method of plasma membrane preparation was tested consisting first in the coating of the cell surface with positive colloidal silica which was stabilized by an anionic polymer. Then, and through differential centrifugations, plasma membrane fractions were easily obtained within less than 1 h, with a yield of 65% and an enrichment ratio of 7. The coating pellicle was quantitatively removed thus enabling any biochemical manipulation of the plasma membrane to be carried out. The lipids present in the plasma membrane of CHO cells were analyzed and are described, both in terms of headgroup and acyl chain composition.

Abstract
The second messenger diacylglycerol (DAG), chiefly derived from phosphatidylcholine (PC) or from phosphatidylinositol (PI), through the activation of specific phospholipases C (PLC), plays a key role in cellular stimulation. The activation of a particular PLC was simulated in intact HeLa cells by treatment with exogenous PC-PLC (Cl. perfringens) or with PI-PLC (B. cereus). Both enzymes rapidly mobilized DAG. However, only PC-PLC led, in Hela cells, to morphological changes (which were reversible on enzyme removal within the time frame of the experiments) and to an increase of intracellular calcium concentration with a lag of > 10 min. In cells prelabeled with [1-14C]arachidonic acid only PC-PLC but not PI-PLC induced the release of labeled fatty acid with a lag of > 10 min. Upon prelabeling of cells with [1-14C]oleic acid, PC-PLC led to a release of radioactive oleic acid. The release of arachidonic acid (AA) required a threshold dose of PC-PLC and a minimum time of treatment beyond which the AA release continued for a certain period, even in the absence of the exogenous enzyme. Under the conditions used, neither PLA2 nor DAG lipase activity were detectable in the PC-PLC preparation. Therefore, AA release was due to activation of a cellular enzyme, probably cellular PLA2 activity. The PC-PLC-induced AA release could be inhibited to a certain extent by EGTA and by quinacrine but not by the glucocorticoid fluocinolone acetonide. Only PC-PLC (but not PI-PLC) caused, in addition, an increase of the level of monoglycerol, which paralleled the appearance of AA. An increase of labeled monoglycerol was detectable in HeLa cells prelabeled with radioactive oleic acid or with 1-[1-14C]palmitoyl-lyso-PC but not in cells prelabeled with radioactive AA, thus indicating that the fatty acid originated from sn-2 position of the glycerol moiety. The 1-monoacylglycerol was probably generated from lysophospholipids by the bacterial PC-PLC. This enzyme preparation has been shown to catalyze such breakdown of lysophosphatidylcholine in vitro. PC-PLC-induced AA release occurred also after down-regulation of protein kinase C by an overnight pretreatment with phorbol ester TPA (TPA-pretreated cells, but not control cells, on treatment with PC-PLC, metabolized AA to prostaglandins).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Diacylglycerol was generated in phosphatidylcholine vesicles by incubation with Clostridium welchii phospholipase C. Newly formed diacylglycerol was rapidly converted to monoacylglycerol and glycerol when rat liver cytosol fraction was present in the incubation mixture, suggesting the presence of di- and monoacylglycerol lipase activities in this subcellular fraction. On the other hand, 3H-labeled diacylglycerol co-emulsified with non-radioactive phosphatidylcholine was found to be a poor substrate for the diacylglycerol lipase. These results indicate that enzymatic generation of diacylglycerol provide a substrate having a suitable physical state for the expression of diacylglycerol lipase activity. It was also found that the rate of diacylglycerol hydrolysis was dependent upon the rate of diacylglycerol generation, but not upon the absolute concentration in the incubation mixture. When the rate of diacylglycerol hydrolysis was plotted against the rate of diacylglycerol generation, a saturation curve was obtained and the double-reciprocal plot gave a straight line. It is not known why a relationship similar to Michaelis-Menten type kinetics was obtained between the rate of diacylglycerol hydrolysis and diacylglycerol generation instead of diacylglycerol concentration, but it may be best explained by the following assumptions: (1) diacylglycerol molecules are generated at the surface of the lipid vesicles where they are readily accessible to diacylglycerol lipase; (2) soon after the generation, diacylglycerol molecules migrate into inside the vesicles where they are inaccessible to the enzyme; (3) the effective concentration of diacylglycerol, i.e., the concentration of diacylglycerol located in the surface layer of the vesicles is proportional to the rate of diacylglycerol generation.

Abstract
Upon incubation with human platelets previously labelled with [14C]arachidonic acid, a new immunomodulator, LF 1695, induced the accumulation of [14C]-12-(S)-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE). Although the time course of [14C]HETE accumulation was identical with 60 microM LF 1695 and calcium ionophore A23187, the latter compound also promoted the formation of 14C-labelled thromboxane B2 and 12-(S)-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), whereas 12-HETE was the only arachidonic acid metabolite generated under the action of LF 1695, suggesting that the drug inhibited cyclo-oxygenase. This was further confirmed by the fact that LF 1695 inhibited the second wave of platelet aggregation induced by ADP as well as arachidonic acid effects. Cell lipid analysis revealed that arachidonic acid was liberated from both triacylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. The effect was observed in the concentration range 15-90 microM, with a half-maximal effect at 30 microM for HETE production, 15 microM for triacylglycerol hydrolysis and 45 microM for phosphatidylcholine deacylation. Incubation of platelets with [14C]arachidonic acid in the presence of 60 microM LF 1695 resulted in a strong inhibition of arachidonic acid incorporation into the various cell lipids, indicating that arachidonic acid mobilization might be due to inhibition of reacylation processes. It is concluded that LF 1695 displays an original and complex effect on platelet lipid metabolism, resulting in the specific generation of lipoxygenase metabolites.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of platelet-activating factor (PAF-acether or 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) through the remodeling pathway was investigated at the subcellular level in two different cell lines. In human neutrophils, plasma membrane was isolated not only from granules, but also from internal membranes related to endoplasmic reticulum. Interestingly, the latter exhibited enhanced acetyltransferase upon neutrophil stimulation with ionophore A23187. A similar study was undertaken on the tumor strain Krebs-II cells. The enzyme acetyltransferase was found to be located only on an endoplasmic reticulum subfraction, whereas most alkylacyl-GPC, the source of PAF-precursor alkyl-lyso-GPC, was located in the plasma membrane inner leaflet. The topographical separation of enzyme and precursor emphasizes the central role of the intracellular phospholipase A2 in providing lyso-PAF to the acetyltransferase to form PAF-acether.

Abstract
Fractionation of human blood platelets showed that palmitoyl-CoA synthetase and arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase activities had an identical distribution among subcellular fractions. The activity was highest with arachidonic acid as substrate in all fractions, with an enzyme activity of 50 nmol/min per mg of protein, in a 'dense-tubular-system'-enriched fraction. The ratio activities with arachidonate and palmitate as substrates was about 1.5 in all fractions. Heat inactivation did not distinguish between arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase and a palmitoyl-CoA synthetase. On the other hand, heat inactivation indicated two pools of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases: one in a mitochondria- and one in the dense-tubular-system-enriched fraction.

Abstract
The effect of interference with diacylglycerol metabolism was investigated in pancreatic mouse islets. In the presence of the diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor RHC 80,267, glucose-induced insulin secretion was reduced 50-60%; whereas carbacholin-induced insulin secretion was unaffected. Addition of the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R 59,022 did not change glucose-stimulated insulin secretion but abolished the inhibition seen in the presence of RHC 80,267. RHC 80,267 increased islet glucose utilisation, measured as formation of tritiated water from 5-[3H]-glucose, 3-fold but did not affect glucose oxidation to CO2, lactate production or islet ATP levels. Glucose utilisation in leucocytes and hepatocytes was not increased by addition of RHC 80,267. Islet lipid production from glucose was augmented 4-fold in the presence of RHC 80,267 but only accounted for about 5% of the increase in glucose utilisation. The activity of adenylate cyclase and phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C was unaffected by RHC 80,267. Concentrations of RHC 80,267 below 35 mumol/l did not alter the activity of phospholipase A2; whereas higher concentrations of the drug inhibited phospholipase A2 activity approx 25%. The data support the hypothesis that production of arachidonic acid from diacylglycerol may be involved in regulation of insulin secretion.

Abstract
Previous evidence suggests that the increase in platelet membrane fluidity associated with a subgroup of patients with Alzheimer's disease results from the accumulation of internal membrane. The specific activities of enzyme markers for selective cell membrane compartments were compared in platelets from subgroups of demented patients with normal or increased fluidity as well as from normal control subjects. A statistically significant change in enzyme activity was observed only for antimycin A-insensitive NADH-cytochrome reductase, a selective marker for smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) in platelets. This reduction was limited to the subgroup of demented patients who had increased platelet membrane fluidity, and therefore is not a nonspecific concomitant of neurodegeneration, medication exposure, or chronic illness in general. Since the platelet membrane alteration associated with Alzheimer's disease results from the inheritance of a single major locus, these results suggest that a defect in SER function may exist in brain cells as well as peripheral cells that express this genotype.

Abstract
[3H]Pentoxifylline and [3H]propentofylline were taken up by human platelets in a dose-dependent manner probably involving a passive diffusion through the plasma membrane. In vitro, the two drugs were able to inhibit platelet activation induced by thrombin. serotonin secretion was reduced from 57% to 38% and 28% in the presence of 1 mM pentoxifylline and 1 mM propentofylline, respectively. Platelet aggregation was inhibited in the same way. Modifications of [14C]arachidonic acid metabolism in human platelets stimulated by thrombin were then measured in the presence of drugs. Preincubation of platelets with 1 mM pentoxifylline or propentofylline inhibited the production of [14C]arachidonic acid metabolites, without any accumulation of free arachidonic acid, suggesting an action at a step preceding its conversion. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis measured upon thrombin treatment as well as phosphatidic acid production were reduced or suppressed in the presence of the drugs. A dose-dependence study showed that phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis was totally inhibited at 5.10(-4) M propentofylline, while phosphatidic acid formation was reduced by only 40%. Propentofylline was in general more efficient than pentoxifylline in inhibiting events occurring upon thrombin stimulation. Our results suggest that the two methylxanthines inhibit both phospholipase A2 and phospholipase C, the former displaying a greater sensitivity to the two drugs.

Abstract
R59 022 (6-[2-[4-[(4-fluorophenyl)phenylmethylene]-1- piperidinyl]ethyl]-7-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one) has been suggested as an inhibitor of diacylglycerol kinase in erythrocyte membranes and intact platelets. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of this drug on arachidonic acid mobilization occurring in response to thrombin in intact human platelets. Our results indicate that release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol was severely impaired by R59 022 and the extent of inhibition amounted to 77% and 84%, respectively, as compared to controls. This resulted in a dramatic decrease in the accumulation of free arachidonic acid (labeled/unlabeled) and the percent inhibition of free arachidonic acid accumulation amounted to 80-90% as compared to controls. Furthermore, the drug caused a significant accumulation of thrombin-induced diacylglycerol (labeled) without affecting the formation of labeled phosphatidic acid (PA). We found no significant changes in the radioactivity of either phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylserine following stimulation with thrombin in the presence or absence of R59 022. We conclude that the observed inhibition of thrombin-induced arachidonic acid mobilization by R59 022 may be due to its effects on the activities of diacylglycerol lipase/phospholipase A2. In addition, the failure of further stimulation of thrombin-induced PA by R59 022 may indicate that PA-specific phospholipase A2 is either not involved in the release of arachidonic acid or is not a major source for arachidonic acid release in thrombin-stimulated human platelets. These findings may prove to be important when this drug is used as a selective inhibitor of diacylglycerol kinase.

Abstract
Plasma membranes have been isolated from the human epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431 by a rapid fractionation of lysate on Percoll density gradient at pH 9.6. Endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes and mitochondria sedimented at the bottom of gradient whereas plasma membranes focused at low density, as shown with specific markers. Plasma membranes displayed a 4.5- and 4.4-fold enrichment in [3H]concanavalin A and 5'-nucleotidase, respectively. This proteic fraction was further characterized by its lipid composition and phospholipid analysis. The cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio was 0.45 in plasma membranes against 0.19 in lysate. Sphingomyelin increased from 7.5% of total phospholipids in lysate to 16.2% in plasma membranes, as well as phosphatidylserine which displayed a 1.5-fold enrichment in the plasma membrane fraction. This was at the expense of phosphatidylcholine (45.2% in lysate, against 35% in plasma membranes). Electron microscopy of the isolated material showed vesicles essentially free from endoplasmic reticulum and organelles. These plasma membranes retained the ability to bind 125I-labelled epidermal growth factor (125I-EGF) with a Kd = 4.7 nM and Bmax = 63 pmol/mg protein. EGF binding resulted in a stimulation of the phosphorylation protein reaction in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels of phosphorylated proteins indicated that the radioactivity of the major band of molecular weight 170,000 was clearly enhanced by EGF binding. These results indicate that the EGF receptor and its intrinsic protein kinase activity were preserved during our plasma membrane isolation procedure.

Abstract
To probe the structure-function relationships of proteins present in the endoplasmic reticulum-like intracellular membranes of human blood platelets a panel of monoclonal antibodies have been raised, using as immunogen highly purified platelet intracellular membrane vesicles isolated by continuous flow electrophoresis [Menashi, Weintroub & Crawford (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 4095-4101]. Four of these antibodies recognize a single 100 kDa polypeptide in the platelet membrane by immunoblotting. One antibody PL/IM 430 (of IgG1 subclass) inhibited (approximately 70%) the energy-dependent uptake of Ca2+ into the vesicles without affecting the Ca2+ +Mg2+-ATPase activity or the protein phosphorylation previously shown to proceed concomitantly with Ca2+ sequestration [Hack, Croset & Crawford (1986) Biochem. J. 233, 661-668]. The inhibition is independent of ATP concentration over a range 0-2 mM-ATP but shows dose-dependency for external [Ca2+] with maximum inhibition of Ca2+ translocation at concentrations of Ca2+ greater than 500 nM. This capacity of the antibody PL/IM 430 functionally to dislocate components of the intracellular membrane Ca2+ pump complex may have value in structural studies.

Abstract
A platelet membrane preparation, enriched in plasma membrane markers, took up 45Ca2+ in exchange for intravesicular Na+ and released it after the addition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). The possibility that contaminating dense tubular membrane (DTS) vesicles contributed the Ca2+ released by IP3 was eliminated by the addition of vanadate to inhibit Ca+-ATPase-mediated DTS Ca2+ sequestration and by the finding that only plasma membrane vesicles exhibit Na+-dependent Ca2+ uptake. Ca2+ released by IP3 was dependent on low extravesicular Ca2+ concentrations. IP3-induced Ca2+ release was additive to that released by Na+ addition while GTP or polyethylene glycol (PEG) had no effect. These results strongly suggest that IP3 facilitates extracellular Ca2+ influx in addition to release from DTS membranes.

Abstract
The recently identified diacylglycerol lipase activity in membranes of chromaffin cells from bovine adrenal medulla [24] is now shown to consist of two enzymes working in series. First the predominantly saturated fatty acid in the sn-1-position is split by a diacylglycerol lipase (glycerol ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.34). Subsequently the resulting sn-2-monoacylglycerol is split by a monoacylglycerol lipase (glycerol-monoester acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.23) which prefers sn-2-arachidonoyl-monoacylglycerol to sn-2-palmitoyl-monoacylglycerol. At pH 4.0 only the diacylglycerol lipase is active, whereas the monoacylglycerol lipase is irreversibly inactivated. At pH 6.0 both enzymes are active. Pretreatment of the membranes at pH 10 leads to the selective inactivation of the diacylglycerol lipase. Both enzymes are Ca2+- and calmodulin-independent and both are partially inhibited by p-bromophenacyl bromide, however, only at relatively high concentrations of the inhibitor. Chlorpromazine inhibits the diacylglycerol lipase to about the same extent as p-bromophenacyl bromide but the monoacylglycerol lipase is less sensitive. The specific diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor RHC 80267 (1,6-di(O-(carbamoyl)cyclohexanone oxime)hexane) only interacts with the first step, i.e. the diacylglycerol lipase.

Abstract
1. By rapid fractionation of blood platelet lysates on Percoll density gradients at alkaline pH (9.6), a very pure plasma-membrane fraction was obtained, as well as discrimination between endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. 2. Labelling of intact platelets with [32P]Pi followed by subcellular fractionation showed an exclusive localization of all inositol lipids in the plasma membrane. 3. Preincubation of whole platelets with myo-[3H]inositol in a buffer containing 1 mM-MnCl2 allowed incorporation of the label into PtdIns (phosphatidylinositol) of both plasma and endoplasmic-reticulum membrane, whereas [3H]PtdIns4P (phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate) and [3H]PtdIns(4,5)P2 (phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate) were exclusively found on the plasma membrane. 4. It is concluded that PtdIns4P and PtdIns(4,5)P2 are exclusively localized in the plasma membrane, whereas PtdIns is present in both plasma and endoplasmic-reticulum membranes. This could provide an explanation for previously reported data on hormone-sensitive and -insensitive inositol lipid pools.

Abstract
The plasma membranes of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells were isolated and the activities of enzymes involved in arachidonic acid liberation were investigated. Only a minute activity of phospholipase A2 (phosphatide 2-acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.4) could be detected using externally added phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) as substrate. When membranes were treated with exogenous phospholipase C (orthophosphoric acid diester phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.1) there was a liberation of free fatty acids from the sn-2 position of PC. The enzyme responsible for this effect could be demonstrated to be a diacylglycerol lipase (glycerol ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) localized in the plasma membrane. Using phosphatidylinositol (PI) as a substrate, it was found that an endogenous phospholipase C exists which co-purifies with the membrane preparation. The produced diacylglycerol is subsequently hydrolyzed by diacylglycerol lipase liberating arachidonic acid. The two enzymes, phospholipase C and diacylglycerol lipase were characterized. Phospholipase C was found to be calcium dependent and PI specific, showing an activity of 60 pmol/micrograms protein per h (1.2 mM Ca2+), whereas the diacylglycerol lipase was calcium independent hydrolyzing diacylglycerol at a rate of 7.2 pmol/micrograms protein per h. The lipase but not the phospholipase C was inhibited 50% by 1.7 mM para-bromophenacylbromide.

Abstract
Two kinds of membranes (plasma membranes and intracellular membranes) have been separated from human platelets by fractionation on Percoll gradients (successively at pH 7.4 and pH 9.6). On alkaline Percoll gradient, plasma membranes floated at low density, as shown with specific markers such as [3H]concanavalin A and monoacylglycerol lipase, whereas intracellular membranes sedimented in the higher densities and displayed a 5.6-12.4-fold enrichment in NADH diaphorase, antimycin insensitive NADH-cytochrome-c oxidoreductase and Ca2+-ATPase. Another criterion allowing differentiation of two membrane populations of human platelets was their lipid composition, which showed a cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio of 0.5 in plasma membranes against 0.2 in intracellular membranes. Phospholipid analysis of the two kinds of membranes displayed also quite different profiles, since phosphatidylcholine increased from 30-32% in the plasma membrane to 52-66% in the intracellular membranes. This was at the expense of sphingomyelin (20-23% in plasma membrane, against 6.8-7.7% in intracellular membranes) and of phosphatidylserine (12-13% in plasma membrane, against 2-6% in intracellular membranes). Other striking differences between plasma membranes and intracellular membranes were obtained by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which revealed the absence of actin and myosin in the intracellular membrane, whereas both proteins were present in significant amounts in plasma membranes. Finally, intracellular membranes but not plasma membranes were able to incorporate calcium. These results suggest that intracellular membrane fractions are derived from the dense tubular system and plasma membranes should correspond to the whole surface membrane of human platelets.

Abstract
Human platelet plasma membranes incubated in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP and 15 mM MgCl2 incorporated radioactivity mostly into phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), which represented together over 90% of the total lipid radioactivity. After washing, reincubation of prelabelled membranes revealed some hydrolysis of the two compounds by phosphomonoesterase(s), as detected by the release of radioactive inorganic phosphate (Pi) from the two phospholipids. This degradation attained 40%/30 min for PIP in the presence of 2 mM calcium and cytosol. The effect of calcium was observed at concentrations equal to or greater than 10(-4) M. In no case did calcium alone facilitate the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (IP2). In contrast, simultaneous addition of 2 mM calcium and 2 mg/ml sodium deoxycholate promoted the formation of IP3 and IP2, indicating phosphodiesteratic cleavage of PIP2 and PIP. Phospholipase C activity was detected at calcium concentrations as low as 10(-7) M, in which case PIP2 hydrolysis was slightly more pronounced compared to PIP. Addition of cytosol increased to some extent the phospholipase C activity, suggesting that the low amount of enzyme remaining in the membrane is sufficient to promote submaximal degradation of PIP2 and PIP. We conclude that platelet polyphosphoinositides are present in the plasma membrane in a state where they remain inaccessible to phospholipase C, which is still fully active even at basal calcium concentrations, i.e., 10(-7) M. These results support the view that phosphodiesteratic cleavage of PIP2 promotes and thus precedes calcium mobilization brought about by IP3. The in vitro model presented here may prove very useful in future studies dealing with the mechanism rendering polyphosphoinositides accessible to phospholipase C attack upon agonist-receptor binding.

Abstract
Human platelets labelled with either [14C]arachidonic acid or [32P]orthophosphate were loaded or not with the Ca2+ fluorescent indicator quin 2. They were then incubated in the presence or in the absence of human thrombin (1 U/ml) in a medium where Ca2+ concentration was adjusted near zero or to 1 mM. Under these conditions, phospholipase A2 activity, as detected by the release of [14C]arachidonate and of its metabolites, or by the hydrolysis of [14C]phosphatidylcholine, was severely impaired in quin 2-loaded platelets upon removal of external Ca2+. However, Ca2+ was not required in non-loaded platelets, where a maximal phospholipase A2 activity was detected in the absence of external Ca2+. In contrast, phospholipase C action, as determined from the amounts of [14C]diacylglycerol, [14C]- or [32P]phosphatidic acid formed, appeared to be much less sensitive to the effects of quin 2 loading and of Ca2+ omission. By using various concentrations of quin 2, it was found that the inhibitory effect exerted against phospholipase A2 could be overcome by external Ca2+ only when the intracellular concentration of the calcium chelator did not exceed 2 mM. At higher concentrations averaging 3.5 mM of quin 2, phospholipase A2 activity was fully suppressed even in the presence of external Ca2+, whereas phospholipase C was still active, although partly inhibited. It is concluded that platelet phospholipase A2 requires higher Ca2+ concentrations than phospholipase C to display a maximal activity. By comparing platelet phospholipase A2 activity under various conditions with the values of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ as detected by quin 2 fluorescence, it is proposed that cytoplasmic free Ca2+ in control platelets stimulated with thrombin can attain concentrations above 1 microM, probably close to 5-10 microM, as recently determined with the photoprotein aequorin (Johnson, P.C., Ware, J.A., Cliveden, P.B., Smith, M., Dvorak, A.M. and Salzman, E.W.

Abstract
Membranes were isolated from dispersed rat pancreatic islet cells by attachment to Sephadex beads. When these membranes were exposed to [gamma-32P]ATP, formation of 32P-labeled phosphatidate, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was observed. Carbamylcholine, added 10 s prior to lipid extraction, caused a dose-related fall in 32P-labeled phospholipids. The effect of the cholinergic agent was suppressed by atropine, ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid, and verapamil, and simulated, in part, by an increase in Ca2+ concentration. When the membranes were derived from islet cells prelabeled with [U-14C]arachidonate, carbamylcholine stimulation, in addition to decreasing labeled polyphosphoinositides, was accompanied by an increased production of labeled diacylglycerol, without a concomitant increase in labeled phosphatidylinositol. These results indicate that activation of a plasma membrane-associated phospholipase C directed against polyphosphoinositides represents a primary event in the functional response of the pancreatic beta cell to cholinergic agents.

Abstract
Bovine brain contains two diacylglycerol lipases. One is localized in purified microsomes and the other is found in the plasma membrane fraction. The microsomal enzyme is markedly stimulated by the non-ionic detergent, Triton X-100, and Ca2+, whereas the plasma membrane diacylglycerol lipase is strongly inhibited by Triton X-100 and Ca2+ has no effect on its enzymic activity. Both enzymes were solubilized using 0.25% Triton X-100. The solubilized enzymes followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The apparent Km values for microsomal and plasma membrane enzymes are 30.5 and 12.0 microM respectively. Both lipases are strongly inhibited by RHC 80267, with Ki values for microsomal and plasma membrane diacylglycerol lipases of 70 and 43 microM, respectively. The retention of microsomal diacylglycerol lipase on a concanavalin A-Sepharose column and its elution by methyl alpha-D-mannoside indicates the glycoprotein nature of this enzyme.

Abstract
In this study we report an overall procedure for the isolation of both human polymorphonuclear neutrophils and their plasma membrane, by means of self-generating Percoll gradients. After efficient purification (40% yield), neutrophils were lysed by nitrogen cavitation and cellular structures quickly isolated in a one-step procedure. Plasma membrane recovery was monitored by [3H]concanavalin A and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) activity. We showed the latter activity is indeed present in human neutrophils. The procedure resulted in a good yield of plasma membrane, since 45% and 55% of total 5'-nucleotidase and [3H]concanavalin A activity, respectively, were recovered within two gradient fractions. Depending on the final pH of the Percoll gradient medium, endoplasmic reticulum markers contaminated either the plasma membrane or the granule fractions. At pH 9.05, NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity clearly separated from plasma membrane markers and displayed the same profile as CDPcholine:diacylglycerolcholine phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.2), a typical enzyme of endoplasmic reticulum. These results emphasize the need for strict monitoring of the pH of the gradient medium in subcellular fractionation of neutrophils.
