Involvement of phospholipase D in oxidative stress-induced necrosis of vascular smooth muscle cells.
    FEBS letters, 2001, Nov-16, Volume: 508, Issue:2

    Phospholipase D (PLD) has been associated with necrosis. However, it is not clear whether PLD plays a causative role in this cellular process. We investigated the role of PLD in oxidative stress-induced necrosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Pervanadate (hydrogen peroxide plus orthovanadate) but not hydrogen peroxide alone activated PLD in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Exposure of VSMCs to pervanadate resulted in necrosis. Pretreatment with butan-1-ol, a PLD inhibitor, attenuated both pervanadate-induced necrosis and increase of intracellular Ca(2+). Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) inhibited pervanadate-induced necrosis by 50%. These results suggest that PLD activation mediates pervanadate-induced necrosis of VSMCs, which is at least partly due to Ca(2+) toxicity.
