β¦ Synopsis
The effects of recombinant Tumor Necrosis Factor (r-TNF ) on polyphosphoinositide metabolism were examined in a Burkitt Lymphoma cell line (Daudi cells). After 1 h of in vitro treatment with r-TNF , the incorporation of 32 Pi into phosphatidylinositol 4,5-phosphate (PtdInsP 2 ), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdInsP) and phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) was reduced compared with controls, confirming previous findings observed in other cell lines of a specific PtdIns breakdown following r-TNF treatment. The novelty of this study is therefore the demonstration of early changes in polyphosphoinositide metabolism during the antiproliferative response elicited by this cytokine in Daudi cells.
