Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activity in whole homogenates of mouse pancreatic islets decreased 60-85% when the homogenates were incubated at 37 degrees C for 1 h in the presence of down to micromolar concentrations of Ca2+. Ca(2+)-induced inactivation was augmented by calmodulin, the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate in the presence of ATP-Mg, and by Mg2+. Inactivation was inhibited when ATP was removed and completely abolished by trifluoperazine and EGTA. Inactivation was not affected by the non-phosphorylating ATP analogue, AMP-PCP, GMP-PNP, glucose, Zn2+ or a series of protease inhibitors. These observations suggest that PI-PLC in broken cell preparations of pancreatic islets may be inactivated via phosphorylation by Ca(2+)-calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase and/or protein kinase C. Inactivation of PI-PLC was reversible. Reactivation started after approx. 2 h incubation, when the concentration of ATP in the homogenate was below 0.15 x 10(-6) M. PI-PLC activity returned to values approx. 25% higher than the initial values. PI-PLC inactivation via phosphorylation by the mentioned protein kinases may constitute a feedback control on the phosphoinositide response, attenuating subsequent diacylglycerol formation and/or Ca2+ mobilization by inositol trisphosphate.

Signaling pathways and bone marrow microenvironment in myelodysplastic neoplasms.

Key signaling pathways within the Bone Marrow Microenvironment (BMM), such as Notch, Phosphoinositide-Specific Phospholipase C (PI-PLCs), Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β), and Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NF-κB), play a vital role in the progression of Myelodysplastic Neoplasms (MDS). Among the various BMM cell types, Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are particularly central to these pathways. While these signaling routes can independently affect both MSCs and Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs), they most importantly alter the dynamics of their interactions, leading to abnormal changes in survival, differentiation, and quiescence.

AtPLC1 plays a critical role in plant growth, development, and response to drought stress. Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) hydrolyzes substrates to generate secondary messengers crucial for plant growth, development, and stress responses. Drought escape (DE) response is an adaptive strategy that plants employ under drought conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
- Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.
PLCγ1 deficiency in chondrocytes accelerates the age-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral bone.

Article Synopsis
- - Ageing is a major factor in developing osteoarthritis (OA), and this study examines how phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ1) influences age-related changes in cartilage and bone linked to OA.
- - Researchers used d-galactose (d-Gal) to induce chondrocyte senescence in rat and mouse models, using various lab techniques to measure cell growth and gene expression, revealing that d-Gal promotes ageing in cartilage and causes abnormalities in subchondral bone.
- - Findings indicate that decreased PLCγ1 expression in chondrocytes leads to greater senescence and accelerated ageing changes in cartilage and bone; thus, PLCγ1 could be a potential therapeutic target
From Classical to Alternative Pathways of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol Synthesis: AlterAGs at the Crossroad of Endocannabinoid and Lysophospholipid Signaling.

2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is the most abundant endocannabinoid (EC), acting as a full agonist at both CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. It is synthesized on demand in postsynaptic membranes through the sequential action of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cβ1 (PLCβ1) and diacylglycerol lipase α (DAGLα), contributing to retrograde signaling upon interaction with presynaptic CB1. However, 2-AG production might also involve various combinations of PLC and DAGL isoforms, as well as additional intracellular pathways implying other enzymes and substrates.
