Differences in intracellular transport of a fluorescent phosphatidylcholine analog in established cell lines.

The transport and metabolism of a fluorescent phosphatidylcholine analog, 1-palmitoyl-2-(N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole)- aminocaproyl-phosphatidylcholine [palmitoyl, C6-NBD)-PC), in BHK, CHO-K1, CHO-15B, MDCK, VA-2, Vero, V79 and WI-38 cells has been investigated. When liposomes containing (palmitoyl, C6-NBD)-PC were incubated with cells at 2 degrees C, spontaneous transfer of the fluorescent lipid from the liposomes to the cells' plasma membranes occurred. Most of the lipid transferred to the cells could be removed by incubating the cells in the presence of nonfluorescent liposomes or media containing 10% serum, suggesting that the fluorescent probe resided exclusively in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane at 2 degrees C. After insertion into the plasma membrane, internalization of (palmitoyl, C6-NBD)-PC occurred when the cells were warmed to 37 degrees C. This resulted in four different labeling patterns: (1) little or no internalization of (palmitoyl, C6-NBD)-PC into punctate vesicles was observed in Vero cells. (2) Transport of (palmitoyl, C6-NBD)-PC to the region of the Golgi apparatus and to a small number of intracellular vesicles was observed in both V79 and CHO-K1 cell lines. (3) A large number of fluorescently labeled intracellular vesicles with little or no labeling in the region of the Golgi apparatus appeared after the internalization of (palmitoyl, C6-NBD)-PC in BHK, CHO-15B, MDCK and WI-38 cell lines. (4) Accumulation of (palmitoyl, C6-NBD)-PC in small vesicles, mitochondria and the nuclear envelope was observed in VA-2 cells. In addition, cells having a defect in glycoprotein processing and those transformed with simian virus 40 (SV40) internalized the fluorescent lipid probe differently compared with parental lines. Neither differences in rates of endocytosis nor rates of (palmitoyl, C6-NBD)-PC degradation between cell types appears to cause the observed dissimilarities in intracellular lipid transport. We suggest that these different cell types may have dissimilar pathways of intracellular lipid trafficking or differential regulation of a common transport pathway, and that the predominant pathway of lipid translocation can be altered in cells by changing the composition of their glycoproteins or by viral transformation.
