Steroidogenic effect of exogenous phospholipase C on bovine adrenal fasciculata cells. 1984

A J Hadjian, and M Culty, and E M Chambaz

Phospholipase C (Bacillus cereus) added to the incubation medium stimulated the steroidogenic activity of bovine adrenal zona fasciculata cell suspensions to a level similar to that induced by optimal concentration of ACTH. This effect was not related to an increase of cyclic AMP; it was calcium-dependent and was also induced by an other bacterial phospholipase C (from Clostridium perfringens) whereas phospholipases A2 and D were ineffective. Phospholipid metabolism was examined in these cells after radiolabeling with [14C]-glycerol or [32P]orthophosphate. Phospholipase C induced a very fast (5 seconds) increase in cellular [14C]-1,2-diacylglycerol followed by [32P] labeling of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol. These events preceded the stimulation of steroidogenesis which was detectable after 2 minutes of incubation. These observations suggest that activation of an endogenous phospholipase C activity may be considered as an early event in the response of bovine adrenocortical cells to steroidogenic effectors such as angiotensin II and acetylcholine.

D010738 Type C Phospholipases A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS. Lecithinase C,Phospholipase C,Phospholipases, Type C,Phospholipases C
D010740 Phospholipases A class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphoglycerides or glycerophosphatidates. EC 3.1.-. Lecithinases,Lecithinase,Phospholipase
D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.
