Stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) has been shown to be mediated by the alpha - and beta I-isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC). To determine the role of various PKC isozymes in the regulation of PLD-mediated phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) hydrolysis, MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells overexpressing the alpha - and theta -isoforms, and R6 rat fibroblasts overexpressing the alpha -, beta I-, and epsilon -isoforms were used. In the vector control MCF-7 cells, which contain low levels of PKC-alpha , PMA (100 nM) had only small effects on the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (1.1-1.35-fold) and PtdCho (1.15-1.6-fold). Stable expression of PKC-alpha in MCF-7 cells, which was accompanied by increased levels of the beta I- and theta -isoforms as well, greatly enhanced both PMA-induced PLD-mediated formation of phosphatidylethanol (~5-fold) and the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (2.5-2.9-fold) and PtdCho (5.5-7.2-fold). The effects of PMA on the hydrolysis of PtdEtn (and PtdCho) in MCF-7/PKC-alpha cells were significantly inhibited by 0.5-3 µM concentrations of Gö 6976, a selective inhibitor of the conventional PKC subfamily. Stable expression of PKC-alpha in R6 fibroblasts enhanced, at a shorter (10 min) incubation time, the effects of PMA on the hydrolysis of both PtdEtn and, to a lesser extent, PtdCho. In contrast, stable expression of PKC-beta I in R6 fibroblasts, which originally did not contain this enzyme, enhanced the effects of PMA only on PtdCho, but not PtdEtn, hydrolysis. Overexpression of either PKC-theta in MCF-7 cells or PKC-epsilon in R6 and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts had no detectable effects on PMA-induced hydrolysis of PtdEtn. Collectively, the results suggest that PKC-alpha has a major role in the mediation of phorbol ester action on PtdEtn hydrolysis, while PtdCho hydrolysis may be regulated by both the alpha  and beta I isoforms.
