Externalization of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) is a common feature of programmed cell death and plays an important role in the recognition and removal of apoptotic cells. In this study with U937 cells, PtdSer synthesis from [H-3]serine was Stimulated and newly synthesized PtdSer was transferred preferentially to cell-free medium vesicles (CFMV) from cells when apoptosis was induced with a topoisomerase I inhibitor, camptothecin (CAM). When CAM-induced apoptosis was blocked by a caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-fmk, stimulation of PtdSer synthesis and movement to CFMV were abolished. In contrast, changes in synthesis and transport of sphingomyelin (SM) or phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) were minor; total phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) synthesis was below control levels. All phospholipids appeared in CFMV but PtdSer displayed a 6-fold increase relative to controls compared to 3-fold for SM, 2-fold for PtdCho and 1.8-fold for PtdEtn. Even greater effects on specificity of PtdSer synthesis, movement to CFMV and inhibition by z-VAD-fmk were observed in apoptotic cells induced by UV irradiation or tumor necrosis factor-alpha/cycloheximide treatment. Thus, PtdSer biosynthesis stimulated during apoptosis in U937 cells was specific for this phospholipid and was correlated with caspase-mediated exposure of PtdSer at the cell surface and preferential movement to vesicles during apoptosis.
