Modulation of inositol phospholipid (InsPL) hydrolysis in response to increasing intracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP (cAMP) was studied in a murine T helper type II (Th2) lymphocyte clone, 8-5-5. Intact 8-5-5 cells produced maximal amounts of cAMP in response to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), cholera toxin (CTx) or 7 beta-deacetyl-7 beta-(gamma-N-methylpiperazino)butyryl forskolin (dmpb-forskolin). cAMP generation reached a plateau after 5 min of treatment with dmpb-forskolin (300 microM) or PGE2 (1 microM), but required 60 min of treatment with CTx (1 microgram/ml). Preincubation of 8-5-5 cells with 1 microM-PGE2 or 300 microM-dmpb-forskolin (10 min at 37 degrees C) or with 1 microgram of CTx/ml (60 min at 37 degrees C) completely inhibited InsPL hydrolysis induced by perturbation of the T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex with the monoclonal antibody 145.2C11. Preincubation with the cAMP analogue 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (8-Br-cAMP) also inhibited InsPL hydrolysis. Tetanolysin-permeabilized 8-5-5 cells produced cAMP in response to PGE2, dmpb-forskolin and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), a non-cell-permeating, non-hydrolysable analogue of GTP that directly activates G-proteins. No inhibition of TCR/CD3-induced InsPL hydrolysis was observed under these conditions. InsPL hydrolysis was also unaffected when permeabilized cells were incubated with up to 10 mM-8-Br-cAMP, suggesting that permeabilized cells lost (a) soluble effector molecule(s) involved in mediating the inhibitory effect observed in intact cells. Treatment of 8-5-5 cells with dmpb-forskolin or CTx prior to permeabilization resulted in inhibition of TCR/CD3-induced InsPL hydrolysis, but did not affect InsPL hydrolysis induced via G-protein stimulation with GTP[S]. Treatment of permeabilized 8-5-5 cells with purified cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) resulted in inhibition of TCR/CD3- but not GTP[S]-induced InsPL hydrolysis. This effect was associated with phosphorylation of phospholipase (PLC)-gamma 1 in the absence of phosphorylation of components of the TCR/CD3 complex. These results suggest that PKA-mediated phosphorylation of PLC may regulate TCR/CD3-induced InsPL hydrolysis.

Some putative mitogenic signal transduction mechanisms involving G proteins, calcium, phospholipases, and protein kinases have been discussed. Several elements in this signal transduction scheme are not yet well understood and require further experimental investigation. With regard to the heptahelix receptors, exactly how do they activate PLA2? Is PLA2 activation linked to mitogenic pathways? Is this via stimulation of protein kinase C or perhaps another mechanism? How do heptahelix receptors activate tyrosine phosphorylation, and is it important in their ability to stimulate cell growth? With regard to the various phospholipases that are thought to be regulated by receptor-mediated stimuli, only PI-PLC beta and PI-PLC gamma are well characterized. PLA2, PC-PLD, and PC-PLC require further study in regard to determination of molecular structure and elucidation of mechanisms of phospholipase activation (e.g., what are the molecular mechanisms whereby tyrosine kinases and Ras affect PC-PLC?). The protein kinase C dependent and protein kinase C independent mechanisms that enable mitogenic stimuli to activate the Erk/MAP kinase are enigmatic at this time. How Raf-1 activates SRE-containing gene promoters (such as the fos promoter) is also not known. However, given the current rapid rate of progress in this field, it is likely that a much more complete understanding of the mitogenic signal transduction process will soon be obtained.

Steel factor (SF), the ligand for the proto-oncogene c-kit, acts synergistically with GM-CSF or IL-3 to support the growth of normal human hematopoietic progenitor cells. We examined the effects of SF on GM-CSF or IL-3 induced proliferation of a human factor-dependent cell line, MO7. SF supported MO7 cell proliferation as well as IL-3 or GM-CSF alone, and its addition dramatically enhanced (three- to sixfold) maximal GM-CSF or IL-3 stimulated proliferation. SF did not increase the number or affinity of cell surface GM-CSF receptors. We examined several early events of signal transduction in an effort to elucidate the biochemical mechanisms of synergy of these factors. Since each of these three cytokines is believed to function in part through activation of a tyrosine kinase, we examined their effects on cellular phosphotyrosine containing proteins. Each cytokine induced rapid, transient, and concentration dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of substrates. For GM-CSF and IL-3, these phosphoproteins were indistinguishable (150, 125, 106, 93, 80, 79, 73, 44, 42, and 36 kDa), while SF induced major or minor tyrosine phosphorylation of 205, 140-150, 116, 106, 94, 90, 80, 79, 73, 44, 42, 39, 36, 32 kDa phosphoproteins. Two other signal transduction intermediates known to be phosphorylated and activated by GM-CSF and IL-3, the 70-75 kDa Raf-1 kinase, and p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPK), were also phosphorylated by SF. Combinations of GM-CSF or IL-3 with SF did not further increase the phosphorylation of Raf-1 or p42 MAPK when compared to any of the factors alone. In contrast SF, but not GM-CSF or IL-3, induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma). These results indicate that SF and GM-CSF/IL-3 have partially overlapping effects on early signal transducing events, as well as striking differences, such as tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma. This cell line should provide a useful model system to investigate the complicated process of hematopoietic growth factor synergy.

A dominant negative mutant of Ras, M17 Ras, was used to study the role of Ras in receptor coupling of Raf-1 and B-Raf protein serine/threonine kinases (PSKs). We found that mutant Ras blocks serum- and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate-induced activation of Raf-1 kinase in NIH3T3 cells and Raf-1 as well as B-Raf PSK stimulation by nerve growth factor (NGF) in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells. Mitogen stimulation of Raf kinase was measured by determination of Raf hyperphosphorylation and activity towards exogenous substrates and both of these events were inhibited in cells expressing M17 Ras. In contrast, tyrosine phosphorylation of a direct substrate of activated tyrosine kinase receptors, phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC-gamma 1), was unaffected. These data indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 is not sufficient for growth induction in NIH3T3 cells and that Ras mediates signal transfer from activated membrane receptors to Raf kinases in the cytosol. As activated Raf induced differentiation in PC12 cells expressing M17 Ras we conclude that Raf kinase activation may be sufficient to account for this aspect of NGF function.

Thrombin, the key regulatory protein of hemostasis, has been implicated in a variety of important endothelial cell processes closely linked to endothelial signal transduction mechanisms. An initial event, following receptor binding by catalytically active alpha-thrombin, appears to be the activation of a G-protein-coupled, PI-specific PLC, with resultant generation of IP3 and DAG, with increases in [Ca2+]i, and activation and translocation of PKC (Fig. 9). PKC activation results in down-regulation of PLC, as demonstrated by inhibition of agonist-induced increases in [Ca2+]i, whereas PLA2 activity is up-regulated, with a resultant increase in endothelial PGI2 synthesis. Recently, we have demonstrated that activity of membrane-bound, endothelial PLD, is also up-regulated by PKC activation. In addition to its modulatory role in endothelial cell phospholipase activities, PKC activation appears to play a critical role in thrombin-mediated endothelial barrier dysfunction, likely via specific cytoskeletal protein phosphorylation. A temporal relationship between alpha-thrombin-mediated signal transduction and specific cellular responses, such as PGI2 synthesis and barrier dysfunction, can be established (Fig. 2). Further investigations are ongoing to identify more clearly the precise biochemical intermediates involved in the endothelial cell response to thrombin, as well as the role of differential phosphorylation by various protein kinase systems in thrombin-mediated signal transduction in vascular endothelium.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activity in whole homogenates of mouse pancreatic islets decreased 60-85% when the homogenates were incubated at 37 degrees C for 1 h in the presence of down to micromolar concentrations of Ca2+. Ca(2+)-induced inactivation was augmented by calmodulin, the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate in the presence of ATP-Mg, and by Mg2+. Inactivation was inhibited when ATP was removed and completely abolished by trifluoperazine and EGTA. Inactivation was not affected by the non-phosphorylating ATP analogue, AMP-PCP, GMP-PNP, glucose, Zn2+ or a series of protease inhibitors. These observations suggest that PI-PLC in broken cell preparations of pancreatic islets may be inactivated via phosphorylation by Ca(2+)-calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase and/or protein kinase C. Inactivation of PI-PLC was reversible. Reactivation started after approx. 2 h incubation, when the concentration of ATP in the homogenate was below 0.15 x 10(-6) M. PI-PLC activity returned to values approx. 25% higher than the initial values. PI-PLC inactivation via phosphorylation by the mentioned protein kinases may constitute a feedback control on the phosphoinositide response, attenuating subsequent diacylglycerol formation and/or Ca2+ mobilization by inositol trisphosphate.

Fluoride elicited in liver macrophages a release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins but not formation of inositol phosphates or superoxide. The effects of fluoride required extracellular calcium and were inhibited by staurosporine and by phorbol ester treatment of the cells. Furthermore, fluoride led to a translocation of protein kinase C from the cytosol to membranes. This indicates that the calcium-dependent protein kinase C is involved in the action of fluoride. Cholera toxin decreased the zymosan-induced release of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins but not of inositol phosphates or superoxide. Pertussis toxin ADP-ribosylated a 41,000 molecular weight membrane protein; enhanced specifically the zymosan-induced formation of prostaglandin(PG)E2 but did not affect the zymosan-induced release of arachidonic acid, PGD2, inositol phosphates or superoxide. These data suggest that activation of phospholipase (PL)A2, phosphoinositide (PI)-specific PLC and NADPH oxidase in liver macrophages is most probably not mediated by activation of guanine nucleotide binding (G)-proteins coupled directly to these enzymes.

We investigated the interaction of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) with wild-type and mutant forms of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor both in vivo and in vitro. After PDGF treatment of CHO cell lines expressing wild-type or either of two mutant (delta Ki and Y825F) PDGF receptors, PLC-gamma became tyrosine phosphorylated and associated with the receptor proteins. The receptor association and tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma correlated with the ability of these receptors to mediate ligand-induced phosphatidylinositol turnover. However, both the delta Ki and Y825F mutant receptors were deficient in transmitting mitogenic signals, suggesting that the PDGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and receptor association of PLC-gamma are not sufficient to account for the growth-stimulatory activity of PDGF. Wild-type and delta Ki mutant PDGF receptor proteins expressed with recombinant baculovirus vectors also associated in vitro with mammalian PLC-gamma. However, baculovirus-expressed c-fms, v-fms, c-src, and Raf-1 proteins failed to associate with PLC-gamma under similar conditions. Phosphatase treatment of the baculovirus-expressed PDGF receptor greatly decreased its association with PLC-gamma. This requirement for receptor phosphorylation was also observed in vivo, where PLC-gamma could not associate with a mutant PDGF receptor (K602A) defective in autophosphorylation. PLC-gamma also coimmunoprecipitated with two other putative receptor substrates, the serine-threonine kinase Raf-1 and the 85-kilodalton phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase, presumably through its association with the ligand-activated receptor. Furthermore, baculovirus-expressed Raf-1 phosphorylated purified PLC-gamma in vitro at sites which showed increased serine phosphorylation in vivo in response to PDGF. These results suggest that PDGF directly influences PLC activity by inducing the association of PLC-gamma with a receptor signaling complex, resulting in increased tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma.

Forskolin-pretreatment of A431 cells reduced both intrinsic and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced EGF receptor phosphorylation, however, phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) was stimulated under the same conditions. No significant difference was detected in the amount of phosphotyrosine of PLC-gamma between two cultures with or without forskolin treatment followed by EGF. On the other hand, phosphorylation of a 47 kDa protein (P47) which cross-reacted with an anti-PLC-gamma monoclonal antibody, was stimulated by both forskolin and EGF. Phosphorylation was exclusively on serine residues in this case. These results indicate that both PLC-gamma and P47 are phosphorylated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the EGF-stimulated serine kinase, and suggest that serine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma has no effect on ligand-dependent coupling with the EGF receptor.

Previous studies have demonstrated enhanced phosphorylation of phospholipase C-tau (PLC-tau), a key regulatory enzyme in phosphoinositide metabolism, in cells treated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and epidermal growth factor, both of which act via specific receptor tyrosine kinases. Our studies on BALB/c-3T3 cells show that agents that promote cellular cyclic AMP accumulation also increase the phosphorylation, specifically the serine phosphorylation, of this enzyme. Increased phosphorylation of PLC-t (2-3-fold) was evident within 5-10 min of addition of isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) and either cholera toxin or forskolin to cells, and persisted for at least 3 h. Treatment of cells with cyclic AMP agonists also enhanced, with similar kinetics, the phosphorylation of a 76 kDa protein co-precipitated by anti-PLC-tau monoclonal antibodies. Brief exposure of cells to cholera toxin/IBMX or forskolin/IBMX decreased inositol phosphate formation induced by the GTP-binding protein (G-protein) activator aluminium fluoride by approx. 50%, but was without effect on PDGF-stimulated inositol phosphate formation. These findings suggest that PLC-tau, and perhaps the 76 kDa co-precipitated protein, are substrates of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in BALB/c-3T3 cells: however, the lack of effect of cyclic AMP elevation on PDGF-stimulated inositol phosphate formation indicates that the intrinsic activity of PLC-tau is unaltered by cyclic AMP-mediated phosphorylation.
