We added platelet-derived growth factor to cultures of quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells to investigate early changes in lipid metabolism related to initiation of cell cycle traverse. In a series of experiments that focused on lipid degradation we added the growth factor to cells that had been prelabeled with myoinositol, glycerol, or arachidonic acid. We observed the following mitogen-dependent effects: a decline of radioactivity in cell phosphatidylinositol within 2 to 5 min that progressed to 25 to 50% during the 1st h, a transient rise of radioactivity in cell diacylglycerol that peaked at 10 min, a gradual increase of radioactivity in monoacylglycerol in the medium, and a concomitant increase of radioactivity in medium-free fatty acid. In experiments that focused on lipid biosynthesis, we added the growth factor to cells and pulse-labeled them with radioactive precursors. We observed increased incorporation within 60 min of myoinositol into phosphatidylinositol, arachidonic acid into phosphatidylinositol, diacylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine, and choline into phosphatidylcholine. These results support the possibility that action of platelet-derived growth factor on Swiss 3T3 cells leads to release of diacylglycerol from phosphatidylinositol, that some of the released diacylglycerol is hydrolyzed to monoacylglycerol and arachidonic acid, and that these lipid products are in part reconverted to phosphatidylinositol and other lipids.
