In liver cells isolated from fed female rats, glucagon (290nM) increased adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) content and decreased cyclic AMP binding 30 s after addition of hormones. Both returned to control values after 10 min. Glucagon also stimulated cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase activity at 30 s and decreased protein kinase activity assayed in the presence of 2 muM cyclic AMP at 1 min. Glucagon increased the levels of glycogen phosphorylase a, but there was no change in total glycogen phosphorylase activity. Glucagon increased glycogen phosphorylase a at concentrations considerably less than those required to affect cyclic AMP and protein kinase. The phosphodiesterase inhibitor, 1-methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine, potentiated the action of glucagon on all variables, but did not increase the maximuM activation of glycogen phosphorylase. Epinephrine (1muM) decreased cyclic AMP binding and increased glycogen phosphorylase a after a 1-min incubation with cells. Although 0.1 muM epinephrine stimulated phosphorylase a, a concentration of 10 muM was required to increase protein kinase activity. 1-Methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine (0.1 mM) potentiated the action of epinephrine on cyclic AMP and protein kinase. (-)-Propranolol (10muM) completely abolished the changes in cyclic AMP binding and protein kinase due to epinephrine (1muM) in the presence of 0.1mM 1-methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine, yet inhibited the increase in phosphorylase a by only 14 per cent. Phenylephrine (0.1muM) increased glycogen phosphorylase a, although concentrations as great as 10 muM failed to affect cyclic AMP binding or protein kinase in the absence of phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Isoproterenol (0.1muM) stimulated phosphorylase and decreased cyclic AMP binding, but only a concentration of 10muM increased protein kinase. 1-Methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine potentiated the action of isoproterenol on cyclic AMP binding and protein kinase, and propranolol reduced the augmentation of glucose release and glycogen phosphorylase activity due to isoproterenol. These data indicate that both alpha- and beta-adrenergic agents are capable of stimulating glycogenolysis and glycogen phosphorylase a in isolated rat liver cells. Low concentrations of glucagon and beta-adrenergic agonists stimulate glycogen phosphorylase without any detectable increase in cyclic AMP or protein kinase activity. The effects of alpha-adrenergic agents appear to be completely independent of changes in cyclic AMP protein kinase activity.

Embryonic chick (7-9 day) and newborn chick myocardia contain one major peak of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity as assessed by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Evidence is presented that the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity ratios (activity in absence of cyclic AMP/activity in presence of added cyclic AMP) of homogenates prepared with low ionic strength buffer reflect the endogenous activation state of the enzyme. The cyclic AMP content of newborn chick myocardium is lower than that of 7--9 day embryonic chick myocardium; the baseline cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity is correspondingly reduced. Isoproterenol produces smaller elevations in cyclic AMP and in the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity ratio of newborn chick as compared to embryonic chick myocardium. Differences in the ability of isoproterenol to elevate cyclic AMP in the different preparations are not accompanied by appropriate changes in the adenylate cyclase or phosphodiesterase activities of the corresponding broken cell preparations. Studies with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, Ro 20 1724 indicate that the changes in the ability of isoproterenol to elevate cyclic AMP in the developing chick myocardium are due to changes in the metabolism of the cyclic nucleotide by phosphodiesterase.

Experiments were carried out to clarify the sites of action of beta-adrenergic agonists in skeletal muscle microsomes. Microsomes were fractionated into longitudinal reticulum, terminal cisternae, and isolated transverse tubules. Transverse tubules were selectively labeled and tracked with [3H]ouabain. beta-adrenergic receptor was identified by [3H]dihydroalprenolol binding. Assays of beta-adrenergic receptor, adenylate cyclase, and protein kinase-stimulated phosphorylation showed: 1) beta-adrenergic receptor was detected in transverse tubules with a receptor density of 0.61 pmol/mg of protein. No significant binding was detected in longitudinal reticulum or in terminal cisternae. 2) Isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase was present in microsomes but was similarly confined to the transverse tubular fraction. The activity of F- stimulated cyclase in transverse tubules was 2.3 nmol/mg of protein/min. 3) No phosphorylation of microsomes by cyclic AMP and protein kinase could be detected. We conclude that the action of epinephrine on skeletal muscle is mediated through receptors and adenylate cyclase in the external membrane.

The ability of isoproterenol, glucagon, PGE1 and cholera toxin to stimulate the synthesis of cAMP and protein kinase activity in line of liver cells (BRL) and a line of rat hepatoma cells (H35) has been determined. The concentration of cAMP in BRL cells (approximately 10 pmoles/mg protein) is in the range reported for other cultured cell lines but H35 cells contain extraordinarily low amounts of this cyclic nucleotide (approximately 0.05 pmoles/mg protein). Isoproterenol and PGE1 caused an increase in cAMP content, and protein kinase activation in BRL cells, although glucagon was ineffective. H35 cells, in contrast, were completely insensitive to all hormonal agonists. Despite this fact, cholera toxin was able to produce a marked increase in cAMP content, adenylate cyclase activity and protein kinase activation in H35 cells. binding studies with [125 I]-iodohydroxybenzylpindolol, a specific beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, revealed that each H35 cell possesses fewer than 10 beta-adrenergic receptors whereas BRL cells contain 2-5,000 receptors per cell. The low level of cAMP in H35 cells appears to result from a combination of totally unstimulated adenylate cyclase and apparently elevated phosphodiesterase activities.

The relaxing effect of two positive inotropic interventions was studied in the isolated rat heart beating at constant rate and perfused at constant coronary flow. Experiments were performed under isotonic or isometric conditions during heart perfusions with Ca2+, 3.5 X 10(-3) M, and with isoproterenol, 10(-7) to 10(-8) M. Changes induced in maximal velocity of contraction (+L or +T) and maximal velocity of relaxation (-L or -T) were analyzed as the ratio between both maximal velocities (+L/-L or +T/-T). For similar increments in the amount of the apex-to-base shortening or in developed tension during Ca2+ or isoproterenol perfusions, the effect on the maximal velocity of relaxation differed for each intervention. High Ca2+ perfusion increased velocities of contraction and relaxation proportionally without significant changes in their ratio. Isoproterenol increased -L or -T more than +L or +T and the ratio showed a significant fall both in isotonic and isometric experiments (+L/-L, -0.33 +/- 0.11 and +T/-T, -0.38 +/- 0.09; P less than 0.01). The relaxing effect of the beta agonist seems to be related to the activation of the protein kinase system since perfusions with dibutyryl 3',5'-cAMP had a greater effect on the relaxation of the hearts.

The relationship between histamine (Hi)-induced depolarization and the cyclic AMP system in adipocytes was studied in guinea pigs, which seem to be more sensitive than rats to Hi. Hi caused a dose-dependent depolarization in guinea pig mesenterial and epididymal adipocytes with EC50 values of 1.69 x 10(-7) M and 1.19 x 10(-7) M, respectively. Guinea pig adipocytes were 280-750 times more sensitive than rat adipocytes to Hi. Isoproterenol, forskolin and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) also caused a depolarization, and the slopes of the concentration response lines for these drugs were almost the same as that for Hi. Furthermore, pretreatment with these drugs resulted in a potentiation of Hi-induced depolarization at lower concentrations which are not effective when each drug is used alone. In addition, Hi-induced depolarization was inhibited by pretreatment with prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and insulin dose-dependently. The content of cyclic AMP in adipocytes was increased by Hi (10(-7) M) in association with a decrease in membrane potential. KT5720, a protein kinase A inhibitor, which provides no significant effect even at a concentration of 10(-6) M, showed an antagonistic effect on Hi-induced depolarization.

The effects of forskolin (FO) and a water-soluble derivative of FO, L858051 (7 beta-desacetyl-7 beta-[gamma-(N-methylpiperazino)-butyryl] forskolin), were compared on calcium currents (ICa) studied by the whole-cell patch-clamp technique in frog ventricular cardiac myocytes. Both FO and L858051 increased ICa, with half-times of 160 +/- 20 sec and 343 +/- 22 sec, respectively. The stimulation was blocked by internal perfusion with inhibitors of protein kinase A. The EC50 for stimulation of ICa was 0.3 microM for FO and 1.0 microM for L858051. The maximal stimulated current was the same for both drugs, 20.3 microA/cm2 and 23.1 microA/cm2, respectively. Internal perfusion with 30-500 microM guanylyl 5'-imidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p] suppressed ICa stimulation by low concentrations of FO or L858051. This suppression was due to a rightward shift in the concentration-response curve, with increases in the EC50 values to 11.4 microM for FO and 28.4 microM for L858051. Isoproterenol (ISO) was ineffective in increasing ICa after the FO-stimulated ICa had been reduced by Gpp(NH)p and FO had been washed out. In contrast, after the L858051-stimulated current had been reduced by Gpp(NH)p, ISO stimulated ICa significantly. This stimulation was blocked by inhibitors of protein kinase A and was due to a positive effect of L858051 not shared by FO. A brief application of L858051 after Gpp(NH)p had blocked the ISO response restored the ISO response for at least 30 min. This effect was mimicked by internal perfusion with low concentrations of L858051. We conclude that the ability of brief exposure of L858051, but not FO, to restore the response to ISO after Gpp(NH)p is due to the accumulation of L858051 intracellularly, due to its hydrophilicity. Because internal L858051 and FO are very ineffective in stimulating adenylyl cyclase, whereas internal L858051 can restore the ISO response blocked by Gpp(NH)p, we propose that FO compounds can affect adenylyl cyclase at two sites, one site that is accessible only from the extracellular side that stimulates catalytic activity and another that is accessible from the intracellular side that increases beta-agonist efficacy in the presence of Gpp(NH)p.

1. Agonists known to increase cyclic AMP levels in gastrointestinal smooth muscles were studied in isolated circular muscles of the canine antrum to investigate the mechanisms of the inhibitory effects of these agents. 2. Muscles were electrically active, generating typical slow wave activity. Cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt; measured by Indo-1 fluorescence) and tension increased in response to slow waves. 3. Stimulation by isoprenaline (via beta 2-receptors) or forskolin, in the presence or absence of acetylcholine, inhibited the plateau phase and reduced phasic [Ca2+]cyt and contractile responses. 4. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), had similar effects to isoprenaline and forskolin. 5. Increases in the plateau phase of slow waves and the associated increases in [Ca2+]cyt and tension caused by direct activation of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels by Bay K 8644 (0.1 microM) were also reduced by forskolin. 6. Isoprenaline and forskolin induced negative chronotropic effects, but VIP increased frequency. 7. At a given level of [Ca2+]cyt, contractions were greater under control conditions than in the presence of isoprenaline, VIP and CGRP, suggesting that part of the inhibition produced by these agents may be due to decreased Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile apparatus. 8. Experiments performed on alpha-toxin-permeabilized muscles confirmed that cyclic AMP-dependent effects involve reduced Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile apparatus. Addition of cyclic AMP (3-300 microM) caused a reduction in Ca(2+)-induced contraction at a constant level of Ca2+ (pCa 5.5). 9. These results suggest that increased cyclic AMP and probably subsequent activation of protein kinase A: (i) decrease [Ca2+]cyt and contraction by an inhibition of Ca2+ influx during slow waves, and (ii) decrease the sensitivity of the contractile apparatus to [Ca2+]cyt. The membrane effects might occur directly by inhibition of Ca2+ channels or indirectly by increasing the open probability of K+ channels which would tend to cause premature repolarization of slow waves.

Isoproterenol increased the Mg2+ content of hepatocytes after injection into rats or after addition to collagenase-dispersed hepatocytes. cAMP also the increased cellular Mg2+ content of isolated hepatocytes. This effect was prevented by staurosporine. Phorbol ester had no effect on the Mg2+ content of isolated hepatocytes, and after injection of isoproterenol into rats, protein kinase C of liver was not affected. It was concluded that isoproterenol induced long-term Mg2+ influx via the activation of protein kinase A which can be inhibited by staurosporine.

Secretion of beta-endorphin from mouse pituitary AtT20 cells is stimulated by a variety of compounds that raise intracellular cAMP and Ca2+. To investigate the role of cAMP-dependent protein kinases in secretion, AtT20 cells were transfected with an expression vector coding for a regulatory (R) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase containing mutations in both cAMP-binding sites. Expression of the mutant regulatory subunit in stable transformants (RAB cells) results in a dominant inhibition of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Isoproterenol (1 microM) or analogs of cAMP stimulated beta-endorphin secretion from AtT20 cells, but failed to stimulate secretion in RAB cells expressing the mutant R subunit. Secretion in response to CRF (100 nM) was inhibited by 80% in these mutant clones, whereas the secretory response to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP; 100 nM) or phorbol ester (100 nM phorbol myristate acetate) was not inhibited by the R subunit mutation. Intracellular cAMP was elevated in response to CRF (11- to 15-fold), isoproterenol (5- to 10-fold), and VIP (4- to 8-fold) in RAB cells. Similar concentrations of VIP were required to evoke beta-endorphin secretion in either RAB cells or AtT20 cells. As with most secretagogues, VIP-induced secretion was inhibited in the presence of either EGTA or a voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel antagonist, PN200-110. The secretory response to VIP was unaffected by down-regulation of protein kinase-C. These results suggest that CRF and isoproterenol work via cAMP-dependent protein kinase to activate beta-endorphin secretion, whereas VIP can act by a different mechanism that does not involve cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase-C.
