The cystic fibrosis (CF) gene codes for CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR), a small-conductance linear Cl- channel, but numerous studies have identified a larger conductance, rectifying Cl- channel as the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated channel that is defective in airway cells. We examined Cl- conductance in a bronchial epithelial cell line that expresses CFTR, 16HBE14o-, (CFTR+) and in an airway cell line that does not, 9HTEo-/S, (CFTR-). Ionomycin or hypotonic Ringer increased iodide efflux from both cell lines; however, forskolin increased iodide efflux or whole cell Cl- currents only in CFTR+ cells. Forskolin-stimulated whole cell currents were linear, voltage independent, and blocked by iodide. Cell-attached and outside-out patches from confluent CFTR+ but not CFTR- cells revealed 6-pS channels having linear current-voltage relations, permselectivity Cl > I (partial block by external iodide), and little or no inhibition by 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate. The number of active channels per patch increased from 0.6 to 3.0 after forskolin. Channels closed after excision with tau = 4 s, but activity could be prolonged with ATP or protein kinase A plus ATP. Channels were modeled with one open and four closed states and show apparent cooperativity in gating. Rectifying Cl- channels previously implicated in CF were not seen in cell-attached recordings from either cell line but were abundant in excised patches from both cell lines. Thus CFTR channels are the pathway for cAMP-mediated Cl- conductance in these human airway cells, Ca2+ and swelling-induced channels do not require CFTR, and CFTR-cells display a CF phenotype.

When incubated with N6-2'-O-dibutyryladenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (dbcAMP), HL-60 cells expressed formyl peptide receptor (FPR) (as assessed by ligand binding) and FPR transcripts in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion. Experiments using dbcAMP analogs modified at either the C-6 or C-8 position indicated that the process was mediated by a protein kinase A type I, and protein kinase A type I activity was isolated from undifferentiated HL-60 cells by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. Forskolin mimicked the effects of dbcAMP. Forskolin and dbcAMP-dependent expression of FPR and FPR transcript was inhibited by staurosporine. Retinoic acid (but not retinal or retinol) was capable of inhibiting dbcAMP-dependent expression of FPR mRNA half-life. Dexamethasone enhanced the effects of dbcAMP and blocked the inhibitory effect of retinoic acid on expression of FPR and FPR transcripts. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) alone (1.5-15 nM) failed to induce HL-60 to express FPR and FPR transcripts. Low concentrations (1.5 nM) of PMA enhanced the ability of dbcAMP to induce HL-60 cells to express FPR and FPR transcript, whereas high (15 nM) concentrations of PMA inhibited dbcAMP effects. These results indicate that expression of FPR and FPR transcripts by HL-60 cells can be up- and down-regulated by agents that induce HL-60 cells to differentiate and that a "cross-talk" effect exists between protein kinase A and protein kinase C that modulates FPR gene transcription (and receptor expression) by these cells.

Elevation of either cAMP or cGMP causes smooth muscle relaxation. Whether these effects are mediated through cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK), cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK), or both is unknown. Pig coronary arteries were treated with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), relaxants which elevate cGMP, and with isoproterenol or forskolin, relaxants which elevate cAMP. Incubation of the arteries with 10 microM SNP produced a 3.3-fold increase in cGMP without altering cAMP; the cGK activity ratio (-cGMP/+cGMP) in these extracts was increased by 2.6-fold as determined by a newly developed assay, while the cAK activity ratio (-cAMP/+cAMP) was unchanged. The increase in cGK activity ratio by SNP was concentration-dependent and was nearly maximal at 30 s. Treatment of the tissue with 10 nM ANF also increased the cGK activity ratio (2.3-fold), but not that of cAK. 100 microM isoproterenol caused a 2.9-fold elevation of cAMP with no change in cGMP, but both cAK and cGK activity ratios were increased (2.3- and 1.6-fold, respectively). The increase in the cGK activity ratio could be mimicked by cAMP addition to control tissue extracts at the concentration measured in extracts of the isoproterenol-treated tissue. Forskolin (1 and 10 microM) also increased the cGK activity ratio (1.9- and 4.9-fold). The increases in cGK activity observed in extracts suggest that moderate elevation of either cGMP or cAMP causes intracellular cGK activation, thus producing relaxation of vascular smooth muscle.

Opioid inhibition of adenylyl cyclase is a major second messenger system associated with opioid receptors in brain. To identify membrane phosphoproteins whose phosphorylation state is modulated by opioid inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, rat striatal membranes were preincubated with opioid agonists in the presence of 500 microM 5'-adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (which acted as a substrate for adenylyl cyclase, but not for protein kinase) before addition of [gamma-32P]ATP. Under these conditions, adenylyl cyclase in the membranes formed cyclic AMP, which stimulated cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. This process was confirmed by observing forskolin-stimulated phosphorylation of two bands of MW 85 and 63 kDa, which were also stimulated directly by cyclic AMP. Forskolin-stimulated phosphorylation of these two bands was inhibited by 15 to 30% by opioid agonists such as D-Ala2-Met5-enkephalinamide. This inhibition of phosphorylation was mediated by opioid receptors, because it required both sodium and GTP, and was blocked by naloxone. These results suggest that these two proteins may be primary targets of opioid-inhibited adenylyl cyclase in striatal membranes.

In vitro luteinization of bovine granulosa (LGC) and theca (LTC) cells was achieved by culturing cells with forskolin (10 microM) and insulin (2 micrograms/ml) for 9 days. This treatment induced the presence of cytochrome P450scc and adrenodoxin in both cell types, but to substantially higher levels in LGC than in LTC. Forskolin dose-dependently stimulated the secretion of progesterone and cAMP after 3 h of incubation in both cell types although LGC were less sensitive to this stimulation than were LTC. Only LTC were responsive to LH, in accordance with their higher LH/hCG binding capacity. Both prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) increased progesterone production during 3 h incubation of LGC and LTC, and treatment with staurosporine (a protein kinase C inhibitor) reversed this effect. Neither TPA nor PGF2 alpha alone affected cAMP levels but each acted synergistically with forskolin to increase cAMP accumulation. These results indicate that 1) elevated progesterone output from LGC is related to steroidogenic enzyme level; 2) bovine LH (up to 100 ng/ml) does not provoke a response in LGC due to their low LH/hCG binding capacity; 3) cAMP-protein kinase A and protein kinase C pathways are both involved in progesterone production by LGC and LTC, possibly by enhancing cholesterol transport.

Experiments were carried out to obtain information about the mechanism underlying the fast action of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) in skeletal muscle. N-2'-o-dibutyryladenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (dbcAMP), similarly as 1,25(OH)2D3 (5 x 10(-10) M), rapidly increased 45Ca uptake by soleus muscle from vitamin D-deficient chicks (+25% and +98% at 3 min and 10 min, respectively) in a dose-dependent manner. The effects of the cAMP analog (10 microM) and 1,25(OH)2D3 could be abolished by the Ca(2+)-channel blocker nifedipine and the calmodulin antagonist flufenazine. Calmodulin binding by two muscle microsomal proteins of 28 kDa and 30 kDa was stimulated within 1 min of exposure of the tissue to 1,25(OH)2D3. Direct effects of the sterol on membrane calmodulin binding were shown with isolated microsomes. The 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated rise of [125I]calmodulin binding to microsomal membranes was dependent on the presence of medium ATP. Forskolin (10 microM) and cAMP (10 microM) also increased [125I]calmodulin binding (+75% and +64%, respectively, with respect to controls). Pretreatment of microsomal membranes with cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor (1 microgram/ml) or addition of alkaline phosphates (1 U/ml) after hormonal treatment caused complete inhibition of 1,25(OH)2D3-induced [125I]calmodulin binding to microsomal membrane proteins. These results imply modifications of membrane protein phosphorylation through the cAMP signal pathway and in turn of calmodulin binding in the mechanism by which 1,25(OH)2D3 rapidly stimulates skeletal muscle Ca2+ uptake.

The bovine 17 alpha-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 gene (CYP17) contains at least two cAMP-responsive sequences (CRS) within its 5'-flanking region. In this study it is demonstrated that one of the sequences, CRS1, is also a target for protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated regulation. Forskolin-induced, CRS1-dependent transcription of a heterologous minimal promoter/structural gene which had been transfected into the mouse adrenocortical tumor cell line Y1 was suppressed by activation of PKC by phorbol esters such as 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-14-acetate and phorbol 12,13-didecanoate-beta (PDD beta). Use of the active and inactive forms of PDD (PDD alpha and PDD beta) as well as down-regulation of PKC by prolonged treatment of the cells with 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-14-acetate demonstrated that the effect of phorbol esters on transcription conferred by CRS1 was mediated through the PKC pathway and not a consequence of general toxicity to the cells. Analysis of the different steps in the signal transduction pathway between the adenylate cyclase and the CRS1 element suggests that phrobol esters do not exert their effect by altering the forskolin-induced cAMP production, activation of PKA, or the binding of nuclear proteins to CRS1. These results establish the CRS1 element as a target not only for PKA, but also for the PKC-mediated signal transduction pathway. They further suggest that PKC interferes with the transcriptional activation competence of factors bound to CRS1 and the minimal promoter.

The respective roles of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A [PKA]) and protein kinase C (PKC) in the early stages of neurite outgrowth were examined in SH-SY-5Y human neuroblastoma cells. Forskolin or dbcAMP, agents that increase intracellular cAMP levels, and intracellular delivery of PKA catalytic subunit induced neurite outgrowth. The PKA inhibitor, N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (HA 1004), prevented the increases, and decreased further the percentage of cells possessing short, filopodia-like neurites in the absence of inducers. In contrast to effects on PKA activation, PKC activation by 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) reduced the percentage of filopodia-like neurites elaborated by otherwise untreated cells, and prevented neurite outgrowth induced by PKA activators. PKC inhibitors 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (H7), staurosporine, and sphingosine induced neurite outgrowth. Neurites induced by PKA activation contained higher levels of tubulin immunoreactivity than those induced by PKC inhibition. Furthermore, PKA-induced neurites rapidly retracted in the presence of colchicine, while those elaborated following PKC inhibition were more resistant. These data suggest that neurites elaborated in response to PKA activation are dependent upon microtubule polymerization, and that neurite induction following PKC inhibition is mediated by a different mechanism. PKA activators and PKC inhibitors exerted additive effects on neurite outgrowth, suggesting that the distinct pathways regulated by these two kinases function cooperatively during neuritogenesis.

Using dispersed cultures of fetal rat hypothalami, we studied the effects of forskolin and the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), activators of protein kinase A and C, respectively, upon vasopressin (VP) secretion, VP mRNA expression and VP mRNA poly(A) tail length. Forskolin stimulated the VP mRNA content and peptide secretion 2.6-fold and induced an increase in the poly(A) tail length of approximately 90 nucleotides. TPA induced an increase in VP mRNA size and stimulated 1.9-fold the secretion of VP without an increase in VP mRNA content. Depolarization with potassium induced an increase in the VP peptide secreted of 2.2-fold, with no effect on the VP mRNA content or size. Increased osmolality had no effect on either VP peptide or VP mRNA. We conclude that VP expression in cultured fetal rat hypothalamic cells is regulated via both protein kinase A and protein kinase C pathways.

1. Primary monolayer cultures from adult human epididymis were grown on Petri dishes and previous supports. The epithelia so formed were used for whole-cell patch clamp recording and short-circuit current (ISC) measurement. 2. After 50 days of culture, the cells formed a tight epithelium with transepithelial potential of 5.5 +/- 1.3 mV (mean +/- S.E.M.., n = 16), apical side negative, and a basal ISC of 6.9 +/- 0.9 microA cm-2 (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 16). 3. Adrenaline, when added to the basolateral side, at a concentration of 0.23 mumol l-1 increased the ISC by 3.0 +/- 1.2 microA cm-2 (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 4). This increase was blockable by diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC, 1 mmol l-1). Forskolin (10 mumol l-1) also evoked a similar response to adrenaline. 4. In whole-cell patch clamp experiment, the resting membrane potential of the cells after dialysis with pipette solution containing 135 mmol l-1 KCl was found to be -30 +/- 14 mV (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 15). 5. About 90% of the cells successfully forming patches responded to 1 mumol l-1 adrenaline by an increase in inward current at -70 mV holding potential (delta I = -1600 +/- 900 pA, mean +/- S.E.M., n = 15). This increase in current was accompanied by a shift in reversal potential to -2 +/- 1 mV (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 15). 6. The adrenaline-induced inward current was found to be blockable by the Cl- channel blocker, DPC (0.25 mmol l-1). Ion substitution experiments showed that the adrenaline-evoked current was carried mainly by Cl-. 7. The effect of adrenaline on the whole-cell current was found to be mimicked by forskolin and could be abolished by including GDP beta S or a protein kinase A inhibitor in the pipette solution. Propranolol, but not phentolamine, completely abolished the effect of adrenaline. 8. Inclusion of 20 mmol l-1 EGTA or 2 mmol l-1 BAPTA + 100 mumol l-1 TMB-8 (to inhibit intracellular Ca2+ release) in the pipette did not seem to have any marked effect on adrenaline-evoked whole-cell current. Lowering the pipette Ca2+ concentration to 1 nmol l-1 or raising it to 10 mumol l-1 had no effect on the whole-cell current response to adrenaline. 9. This study shows that adrenaline stimulates Cl- secretion in cultured human epididymal cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
