Fas stimulation in NPD lymphoblasts efficiently induces PC-PLC activity, but fails to generate GD3 ganglioside accumulation. Cell extracts from 107 normal (A) and NPD (B) lymphoblasts treated for 15 min with control IgM or 500 ng/ml anti-Fas mAb, preceded or not by preincubation with 50 μg/ml D609 for 30 min, were reacted with radiolabeled PC, and the released PCho was quantitated. (C) 107 normal and NPD lymphoblasts were left untreated or were stimulated with 100 μM C6-ceramide (cer) or 500 ng/ml anti-Fas for 5 or 15 min, respectively. Then polar lipids were extracted and run on HPTLC plates along with GD3 standard (st), and GD3 was detected by anti-GD3 immunostaining. Four experiments gave comparable results.
