Differences exist in the rates at which hormones are inactivated by, or dissociate from, their target tissues. The present studies examined the binding of biologically active TSH to thyroid slices and compared its characteristics to those of PGE. Canine thyroid slices were initally incubated with 5 mU/ML OF BOVINE TSH (TSH-Inital) for 15 min, washed and incubated in media free of hormone for 3 hr. At the conclusion of this second incubation period all slices were again washed. Some were then transferred to media containing 10-2M theophylline for a final 10 min incubation and subsequent measurement of cAMP and protein kinase, while others were transferred to media containing (l-14C)glucose without theophylline for a final 45 min incubation to assess glucose oxidation. Identically treated slices never exposed to TSH served as controls, while others were exposed to TSH only during the final 10 or 45 min incubation periods (TSH-Final). cAMP content determined after significantly increased in TSH-Initial (mean 2.98 plus or minus 0.36 (se) pmol/mg wet wt) compared to control (0.35 plus or minus 0.04), but was less than that in TSH-Final (5.76 plus or minus 0.51). This phenomenon was not unique to canine thyroid, since comparable results were noted in studies of human, bovine or porcine thyroid slices. The protein kinase activity ratio (-cAMP/+cAMP) and glucose oxidation of TSH-Initial were also significantly increased above control following the final 10 min or 45 min incubations respectively. Addition of trypsin to the 3 h incubation abolished the subsequent increase in cAMP in TSH-Initial, while addition of TSH antiserum appreciably reduced this increase. These results are consistent with the persistent binding of biologically active TSH to thyroid. By contrast, evidence of similar persistent binding of PGE1 to thyroid, glucagon to liver, or parathyroid hormone to renal cortex was lacking when assessed by an identical experimental procedure. Differences between the duration of interaction of TSH and PGE1 with thyroid may be dependent or a more gradual dissociation to tissue bound TSH, a more rapid inactivation of bound-PGE1, or both.

The liberation of arachindonate in the thyroid occurs at the expense of two distinct pools of precursors. (1) the phosphatidylinositol through a process Ca2+-dependent and cyclic AMP-independent; and (2) the triglycerides by a cyclic AMP-dependent lipase, in which the involvement of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase has not yet been determined. The "PI pool" or "paracyclic AMP pool" is mobilized very rapidly by large doses of TSH but its physiological significance can be discussed. The "triglyceride pool" or "post-cyclic AMP pool" is mobilized more slowly by small doses of TSH and seems not to be implicated in the acute TSH stimulation of adenylate cyclase. The "post-cyclic AMP pool" of prostaglandins would be very important as third messenger or as "long-acting TSH hormone". Some recent works of Boeynaems and Van Sande (16) and Madaoui et al. (17) on the thyroid support this hypothesis, as aspirin or indomethacin inhibits DBc-AMP stimulation of glucose oxydation, iodine organification, or thyroid hormone secretion. On the other hand, in the absence of prostaglandin synthesis, TSH still stimulates the adenylate cyclase, which means that prostaglandins are not obligatory intermediates of hormonal action on cyclic AMP production. In conclusion, these results show a TSH action in the thyroid on the release of fatty acids, precursors of PG's, from their lipidic stores. Nevertheless, a second control step is not excluded in conversion of cyclic endoperoxide to PGE or PGFalpha.

The renal inner medulla is ordinarily exposed to osmolalities that are much higher and to O2 tensions that are lower than those in other tissues. The effects of media osmolality and O2 availability on basal and arginine vasopressin(AVP)-responsive soluble cyclic (c)AMP-dependent protein kinase activity were examined in slices of rat inner medulla. Increasing total media osmolality from 305 to 750 or 1,650 mosM by addition of urea plas NaCl to standard Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer significantly reduced basal cAMP content and protein kinase activity ratios. This occurred in the presence or absence of O2. Incubation of slices in high osmolality buffer also blunted increases in inner medullary slice cAMP and protein kinase activity ratios induced by O2. These changes reflected predominantly an action of the urea rather than the NaCl content of high osmolality buffers. In contrast to effects on basal activity, high media osmolality significantly enhanced activation of inner medullary protein kinase by AVP. Conversely, increases in media O2 content suppressed AVP stimulation of enzyme activity. This inhibitory effect of O2 was best expressed at low osmolality. Naproxen and ibuprofen, inhibitors of prostaglandin biosynthesis, reduced basal kinase activity ratios and increased AVP responsiveness in the presence, but not in the absence, of O2. Exogenous prostaglandins (PG) modestly increased (PGE2 and PGE1) or did not change (PGF2alpha) cAMP and protein kinase activity ratios in O2-deprived inner medullary slices. Protein kinase activation by PGE2 was not observed in oxygenated inner medulla with high basal activity ratios. The stimulatory effects of PGE2 and PGE1 on protein kinase activity observed in O2-deprived slices were additive with those of submaximal or maximal AVP. PGE2, PGE1, and PGF2alpha all failed to suppress AVP activation of protein kinase. Thus, enhanced endogenous PGE production may contribute to the higher basal protein kinase activity ratios induced by O2. However, the results do not support a role for PGE2, PGE1, or PGF2alpha in O2-mediated inhibition of AVP responsiveness. The present data indicate that both solute content and O2 availability can alter the expression of AVP action on cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity in inner medulla. AVP activation of protein kinase is best expressed when osmolality is high and O2 availability is low, conditions that pertain in inner medulla during hydropenia.

The relationship between the effects of isoproterenol and prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) on contractile state, cyclic AMP accumulation, and the activation states of protein kinase (ATP: protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37), phosphorylase kinase, glycogen synthase, and glycogen phosphorylase have been studied in the isolated perfused rat heart. Perfusion of hearts with isoproterenol (10 or 80 nM) caused enhancement of left ventricular dP/dt (P, pressure), increased intracellular cyclic AMP, increased the activation states of protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, glycogen phosphorylase, and conversion of glycogen synthase to a less active form. PGE(1) (2 or 30 muM) increased cyclic AMP accumulation and activated protein kinase, but caused no detectable changes in dP/dt or the activation states of the protein kinase substrates involved in glycogen metabolism. Perfusion of hearts with either 10 nM isoproterenol or 30 muM PGE(1) produced comparable increases in cyclic AMP accumulation and protein kinase activity. Exposure of hearts to a combination of these agents caused additive effects on cyclic AMP content and protein kinase activity. However, values for phosphorylase kinase, glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen synthase, and dP/dt did not differ from those observed in the presence of 10 nM isoproterenol alone. The failure of PGE(1) to stimulate phosphorylation of protein kinase substrates was not due to an increase in phosphorylase phosphatase activity. We conclude that an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP and the subsequent activation of protein kinase are insufficient to change either the activities of phosphorylase kinase, glycogen phosphorylase, and glycogen synthase or the inotropic state of heart muscle.

Retinoic acid dramatically increases the size of domes in confluent MDCK monolayers in a hormonally defined medium (medium K-1). After 4-5 days of retinoic acid treatment, enlarged domes began to appear in confluent MDCK monolayers. After 7 days with 3 x 10(-7) M retinoic acid, the majority of the domes in the monolayers were between 27 and 80 x 10(-3) microns 2 in area, whereas in control medium the majority of the domes were between 0 and 9 x 10(-3) microns 2 in area. The dependence of the retinoic acid effect on prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) was examined. In normal MDCK cells, the effects of retinoic acid on dome size were observed only in medium K-1 supplemented with PGE1. This observation indicated that retinoic acid did not elicit its effects simply by stimulating PGE production. In contrast, in monolayers of PGE1-independent MDCK cells, retinoic acid treatment resulted in an increase in dome frequency even in medium K-1 lacking PGE1. This observation can be explained by the elevated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in these PGE1-independent MDCK cells. Dibutyryl cAMP-resistant MDCK cells, which normally do not form domes in medium K-1, were also studied. Remarkably, the dibutyryl cAMP-resistant MDCK cells were observed to form domes at a significant frequency when medium K-1 was supplemented with retinoic acid. However in medium K-1 lacking PGE1, an effect of retinoic acid on dome formation by dibutyryl cAMP-resistant MDCK monolayers was not observed. The inability of dibutyryl cAMP-resistant MDCK cells to form domes in medium K-1 has previously been attributed to their decreased cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. The stimulatory effects of retinoic acid on dome formation may possibly be due to an increase in the activity of a particular cAMP-dependent protein kinase or activation of a separate pathway.

Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase (PGS) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of prostaglandins E and F2 alpha that are obligatory for ovulation. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which LH regulates the induction of PGS in rat preovulatory (PO) follicles, we established an in vitro system which mimics in vivo induction of the enzyme. We show that the rapid increase in PGS enzyme: 1) is stimulated by LH, FSH, and forskolin (cAMP) in a time- and dose-dependent manner that is distinct from changes in steroidogenic enzymes analyzed in the same follicles; 2) is unaltered by end products (PGE and PGF2 alpha) of the reaction or inhibitors (indomethacin) of enzyme activity; 3) is blocked by inhibitors of transcription (alpha-amanitin) and translation (cycloheximide) at a step distal to production of cAMP and activation of A-kinase. Analyses of PGS mRNA by Northern blots using a mouse PGS cDNA probe revealed a PGS transcript of 2.8 kilobases that was present but in low abundance in PO follicles and decreased rapidly (1-4 h) as a consequence of LH/human CG stimulation. This hormone-induced decrease in PGS mRNA appeared to be transient because PGS transcripts were present in corpora lutea at a level similar to that in PO follicles. These results raise the possibility that the marked increase in PGS enzyme in granulosa cells of PO follicles that occurs as a consequence of the LH/human CG surge may not involve a cAMP regulated increase in transcription of the PGS gene itself. Or, if increased transcription of PGS mRNA does occur, it is rapid and coupled with cotranslational degradation of the mRNA. Alternatively, transcriptional (alpha-amanitin-sensitive) regulation of a separate gene may be obligatory for increased translation of PGS mRNA or posttranslational modification (stabilization?) of the enzyme. In summary, the LH-stimulated appearance of PGS in granulosa cells of PO follicles before ovulation is mediated by cAMP in a complex manner involving transcriptional regulation (PGS gene?) and translational control of PGS mRNA. The transient appearance of the PGS enzyme represents a unique pattern of response by granulosa cells of PO follicles to LH/cAMP and thereby may involve novel intracellular factors and regulatory processes.

Tumor-promoting phorbol esters are believed to affect cell functions by activating a Ca+2- and lipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). Since such protein kinases may be involved in ovarian granulosa cell metabolism, the effects of phorbol esters on prostaglandin (PG) and progesterone (P) accumulation were investigated. Cells were obtained from immature (28-29 days old) rats 48 h after injection of 20 IU PMSG and incubated for up to 5 h. A tumor-promoting phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA), at a concentration of 25 ng/ml, caused 4-fold increases in PGE and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha accumulation at 5 h. LH (10 ng/ml) caused 7- and 4-fold increases in PGE and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha accumulation, respectively. When tested in combination, the increases in PGE and 6-keto PGF1 alpha due to TPA and LH were additive. Like the effect of LH, the TPA stimulation of PG synthesis occurred after a delay of 2-3 h. By 5 h of incubation, cells exposed to TPA exhibited increased PG synthase activity in whole homogenates. TPA caused a smaller (2-fold) increase in P accumulation than was observed with LH (10-fold). When tested in combination, however, TPA decreased the P response to LH by approximately 25%. These effects of TPA on basal and LH-stimulated PG and P accumulation were very similar to the actions of GnRH. We, therefore, investigated the effect of exposure to the combination of GnRH and TPA. A GnRH agonist, [D-Ala6,des-Gly-NH2(10)] GnRH ethylamide (GnRHa; 10 ng/ml) caused a 4-fold increase in PGE accumulation. The effect of TPA on PGE accumulation was also additive to that of GnRHa. TPA, on the other hand, did not affect the 2.5-fold P response to GnRHa. Neither stimulation or inhibition of PGE or P accumulation was observed in the presence of a nontumor-promoting phorbol ester. Furthermore, TPA did not affect basal or LH-stimulated cAMP accumulation or basal or LH-stimulated protein kinase A activity. These data indicate that protein kinase C activation can influence granulosa cell PG and P accumulation.

The relationship between prostaglandins (PG) and interferon (IFN) was investigated. IFN induced the synthesis of immunoreactive PGE and PGA at early and late stages, respectively, of vaccinia virus infection in mouse L fibroblasts. Only species-specific IFN possessed this activity and PG synthesis was stimulated in virus-infected cells, while normal L cells were not affected. The vaccinia virus infection did not significantly alter PG synthesis in the absence of IFN. Indomethacin increased the rate of vaccinia virus replication and partially inhibited the IFN-induced protection of L cells. The addition of exogenous PGA1 only partially reversed this effect. Finally, short-term PGA treatment induced the synthesis of two enzymes (protein kinase and 2,5A synthetase) thought to be partially responsible for the antiviral action of interferon. These findings suggest that a prostaglandin or PG-related compound seems to mediate at least one aspect of IFN action.

The interaction of vasopressin with prostaglandins were examined in the toad bladder by determining water flows, cAMP levels, and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Both water flow and activation of cAMP-kinase in response to vasopressin were enhanced after prostaglandin inhibition, consistent with inhibition of vasopressin-induced cAMP generation by endogenous prostaglandins. On the other hand exogeneous PGE stimulated cAMP generation. PGE1 (10(-7) M) alone did not increase water flow but activated kinase more than vasopressin only. Addition of PGE1 (10(-7) M) and vasopressin inhibited water flow as compared with vasopressin along but increased the kinase ratio above that with vasopressin only. PGE2 (10(-5) M) increased the cAMP content and kinase ratio even more than vasopressin but again resulted in no water flow. Addition of vasopressin and PGE2 (10(-5) M) increased water flow but did not alter cAMP content or the kinase ratio compared with PGE2 alone. Similar results were obtained with PGE1. Accordingly, prostaglandin dissociates cAMP levels and kinase ratio from the hydroosmotic response, suggesting that PGE2 inhibits steps distal to cAMP. Consistent with this, in bladders pretreated with naproxen or meclofenamate, PGE2 (10(-8) to 10(-6) M) inhibited the response to submaximal doses of cAMP (5 mM) or 8-bromo-cAMP (0.03 mM). Furthermore, pretreatment with naproxen significantly enhanced the response to cAMP (5 mM). These studies provide evidence for vasopressin-PGE interaction at the site of cAMP generation and also at a step(s) unrelated to cAMP generation.

The activity of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-PK) was significantly higher (P less than 0.001) in thioglycollate-elicited than in resident rat peritoneal macrophages. The activity ratio of the enzyme (its activity in the absence of added cyclic AMP divided by that in the presence of 5 microM cyclic AMP) was similar in the two cell types. The divalent ion ionophore A23187 induced a rapid increase in the activity ratio of cyclic AMP-PK in both macrophage types. This effect was blocked by pretreating the cells with indomethacin or aspirin (inhibitors of cyclo-oxygenase) and bromo-phenacyl bromide (an inhibitor of phospholipase A2), implicating the synthesis of a prostanoid as an intermediary step. Prostaglandin (PG) E2, 8-bromo cyclic AMP and cholera toxin, all of which inhibit chemiluminescence and/or PG formation in macrophages, increased the activity ratio of cyclic AMP-PK in these cells. We propose that the activation of cyclic AMP-PK plays a central role in the response of macrophages to both endogenously-generated and exogenously added PGE.
