Evidence for a single pool of myo‐inositol in hormone‐responsive WRK‐1 cells

Abstract: Previous reports have suggested the existence of at least two pools of cellular myo-inositol (Ins); it has been further hypothesized that only one of these pools is utilized during hormone-activated, cyclic phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) resynthesis. In an effort to investigate this possibility, we have undertaken kinetic studies of Ins metabolism in WRK-1 cells. Our results indicate that a single pool of Ins is involved in both basal and activated PtdIns synthesis. Ins generated by the hydrolysis of phosphatid… Show more

“…Thus, newly synthesized PtdIns is not preferentially relocalized to a hormone-responsive pool but rather generally distributed throughout the cell. These results are in agreement with our previous findings that the phosphoinositide cycle is not closed with respect to Ins, since exogenous Ins and that derived from hormone-induced hydrolysis of Ins lipids exist in the same intracellular pool [Monaco and Moldover, 1995].…”

“…However, the latter, synthetic phase of the cycle, namely the conversion of CDP-DG to PtdIns, does not require the continued presence of hormone (Monaco and Adelson, 1991), and does not appear to be compartmentalized in the manner of the hydrolytic phase of the cycle; exogenously added inositol is able to be utilized as a substrate for the PtdIns synthase (Monaco and Moldover, 1995).…”
