The phospholipid requirement for Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis (Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase) and Mg2+-stimulated ATP hydrolysis (Mg2+-ATPase) in rat brain synaptosomal membranes was studied employing partial delipidation of the membranes with phospholipase A2 (Hog pancreas), phospholipase C (Bacillus cereus) and phospholipase D (cabbage). Treatment with phospholipase A2 caused an increase in the activities of both Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase whereas with phospholipase C treatment both the enzyme activities were inhibited. Phospholipase D treatment had no effect on Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase but Mg2+-ATPase activity was inhibited. Inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase activity after phospholipase C treatment was relieved with the addition of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and to a lesser extent with phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylcholine (PC). Phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidic acid (PA), PIP and PIP2 brought about the reactivation of Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and PA inhibited Mg2+-ATPase activity. Kms for Ca2+ (0.47 microM) and Mg2+ (60 microM) of the enzyme were found to be unaffected after treatment with the phospholipases.

Increased phosphatidic acid (PA) and phospholipase D (PLD) activity are frequently observed in various disease states including cancers, diabetes, sepsis, and thrombosis. Previously, PA has been regarded as just a precursor for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and diacylglycerol (DAG). However, increasing evidence has suggested independent biological activities of PA itself. In the present study, we demonstrated that PA can enhance thrombogenic activities in human erythrocytes through phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. In freshly isolated human erythrocytes, treatment of PA or PLD induced PS exposure. PA-induced PS exposure was not attenuated by inhibitors of phospholipase A(2) or phosphatidate phosphatase, which converts PA to LPA or DAG. An intracellular Ca(2+) increase and the resultant activation of Ca(2+)-dependent PKC-alpha appeared to underlie the PA-induced PS exposure through the activation of scramblase. A marginal decrease in flippase activity was also noted, contributing further to the maintenance of exposed PS on the outer membrane. PA-treated erythrocytes showed strong thrombogenic activities, as demonstrated by increased thrombin generation, endothelial cell adhesion, and erythrocyte aggregation. Importantly, these procoagulant activations by PA were confirmed in a rat in vivo venous thrombosis model, where PA significantly enhanced thrombus formation. In conclusion, these results suggest that PA can induce thrombogenic activities in erythrocytes through PS exposure, which can increase thrombus formation and ultimately contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases.
