12- O -Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a highly active tumor-promoting agent and lymphocyte comitogen, accelerates the incorporation of [ methyl -3H]choline chloride ([3H-Me]choline) into the phospholipids of bovine lymphocytes.
Chromatographic analysis of the phospholipids from lymphocytes exposed to 10-8 m TPA for varying intervals in the presence of [3H-Me]choline reveals a lag period of about 20 min, after which the rate of labeling of phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin are all enhanced. Structure-activity studies show that the ability of phorbol diesters to accelerate [3H-Me]choline incorporation runs parallel to their potency as lymphocyte comitogens and as tumor promoters. The response to TPA is insensitive to the inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis by actinomycin D and cycloheximide, respectively, and is also insensitive to the inhibition of membrane movement by cytochalasin B. Retinoic acid, an antagonist of the tumor-promoting and comitogenic actions of TPA, also blocks the acceleration of [3H-Me]choline incorporation into phospholipids by TPA. These observations suggest that the bovine lymphocyte system may be useful for studies of the molecular mechanisms of action of tumor-promoting phorbol esters and their retinoid antagonists.
