Abstract

The water-soluble products of acetylcholine-stimulated breakdown of phosphatidylinositol in mouse pancreas were analyzed by two different and independent procedures. There was an increased formation of free inositol throughout the period of phosphatidylinositol breakdown; no evidence was obtained for acetylcholine-stimulated formation of either inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate or inositol 1-phosphate under any of the conditions used. The observations suggest that the acetylcholine-stimulated reaction is phosphatidylinositol → phosphatidic acid + inositol. This might occur by either phospholipase D activity, or through complete or partial reversal of the cytidine nucleotide pathway of phosphatidylinositol biosynthesis.
