The M current, IM, a voltage-dependent non-inactivating K current, was recorded in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells, using the whole-cell mode of the patch-clamp technique. We studied inhibition of the M current by bradykinin, phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), and methylxanthines. Focal application of 0.1-5 microM bradykinin inhibited IM by about 60%; 5 nM bradykinin inhibited by about 40%. Bath application of 0.1 microM and 1 microM PDBu diminished IM to about half of the control value. Staurosporine, a PKC inhibitor, applied for 35-43 min in a concentration of 0.3 microM significantly reduced the effect of 1 microM PDBu. M current blockage by PDBu could be partly reversed by bath application of H-7 (51-64 microM), another PKC inhibitor. These observations suggest that the PDBu effect is really due to activation of PKC. The findings are compatible with the view [Brown DA, Higashida H (1988) J Physiol (Lond) 397:185-207] that the bradykinin effect on IM is mediated by PKC. However, three further observations suggest that this is only true for part of the bradykinin effect. When the suppression of IM by 1 microM PDBu was fully developed, 0.1 microM bradykinin produced a further inhibition of IM. Down-regulation of PKC by long-term treatment with PDBu reduced the effect of 0.1 microM bradykinin significantly but did not abolish it. Staurosporine (0.3 microM, applied for 31-46 min) failed to reduce the effect of 5 nM bradykinin significantly. The M current could be reversibly blocked by methylxanthines (caffeine, isobutyl-methylxanthine, theophylline) in the millimolar range, probably because of a direct action on the M channels.

1. We have investigated the modification of catecholamine efflux and inositol phosphate formation in cultured adrenal chromaffin cells by tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) and inhibitors of diacylglycerol kinase (R 59,022) and diacylglycerol lipase (RG 80267), the two principal pathways of diacylglycerol metabolism. 2. TPA (1 nM to 1 microM) elicited a slow, calcium-dependent, sustained release of noradrenaline, which was partially blocked by the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (-)-202,791 and potentiated by the channel enhancer (+)-202,791. 3. R 59,022 enhanced noradrenaline efflux at 30 and 50 microM, while the lipase inhibitor RG 80267 failed to elicit release. 4. Neither R 59,022 nor RG 80267 affected bradykinin- or histamine-stimulated release, but both drugs substantially attenuated nicotine- and high K(+)-stimulated release. 5. Pretreatment for 10 min with TPA (but not the relatively inactive 4-methoxy TPA) or the non-phorbol protein kinase C stimulator mezerein potently inhibited bradykinin- and histamine-stimulated accumulation of total [3H]-inositol phosphate; inhibition of [3H]-inositol phosphate formation was also seen with 24 h TPA treatment. 6. Neither R 59,022 nor RG 80267, separately or together, affected bradykinin-stimulated [3H]-inositol phosphate formation. 7. Thus while the mechanism exists for inhibition of formation of inositol phosphates by stimulation of protein kinase C, these studies failed to show that this mechanism is activated by agonists acting on phospholipase C linked receptors.

Tyrosine hydroxylase is activated and phosphorylated following treatment of PC-12 cells with bradykinin. In order to determine the mechanisms by which this occurs, we have evaluated the second messenger systems that may be responsible for this activation and phosphorylation. Inositol phosphates appear to play an important role in the activation and phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase because bradykinin treatment significantly increased the formation of [3H]inositol phosphates and the concentration of intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) in PC-12 cells. The uptake of extracellular 45Ca2+ into PC-12 cells at 1 min was significantly increased (107%) by bradykinin treatment and this increase was blocked by La3+, an inorganic calcium channel inhibitor, but not by nifedipine, an inhibitor of voltage-dependent calcium channels. The activation of tyrosine hydroxylase in PC-12 cells following bradykinin treatment was partially inhibited by La3+. Additivity experiments were performed to evaluate whether the activation and phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase in PC-12 cells following treatment with bradykinin (10 microM) was similar to the activation and phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase in PC-12 cells following treatment with dibutyryl cAMP (2 mM), 4 beta-phorbol-12 beta-myristate-13 alpha-acetate (PMA) (2 microM), and high K+ (56 mM). The combination of bradykinin and PMA produced additive effects, indicating that the activation of tyrosine hydroxylase by treatment with these two compounds was through different mechanisms. Furthermore, exposure of PC-12 cells to bradykinin did not increase intracellular cAMP levels. The combination of bradykinin and PMA treatments produced only partial additivity in tyrosine hydroxylase activity and phosphorylation. No additivity was produced with bradykinin and high K-treatment. Phosphopeptide analysis was performed on tyrosine hydroxylase obtained from PC-12 cells treated with bradykinin. Bradykinin treatment produced a significant incorporation of [32P]-phosphate into two phosphopeptides of tryptically digested tyrosine hydroxylase. One of these peptides corresponds to a peptide obtained by trypsinization of purified tyrosine hydroxylase that is phosphorylated by purified calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. The other 32P-tyrosine hydroxylase-peptide obtained from PC-12 cells treated with bradykinin corresponds to the phosphorylation site obtained during PMA stimulation of PC-12 cells. These results indicate that bradykinin treatment increases intracellular inositol phosphates, calcium, and possibly diacylglycerol levels in PC-12 cells. These effects could then increase calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity and possibly calcium/phospholipid-dependent protein (protein kinase C) activity, resulting in increased phosphorylation and activity of tyrosine hydroxylase.

The effects of neurotransmitters and peptides on phosphoinositide hydrolysis were studied by measuring [3H]inositol monophosphate ([3H]IP) and protein kinase C (PKC) activity in the sympathetic and sensory neuronal cultures of the chick embryo. [3H]IP was increased in sympathetic neurons by acetylcholine (ACh), muscarine, serotonin (5-HT), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide. ACh, muscarine, 5-HT, and bradykinin increased [3H]IP in sensory neuronal cultures. Dopamine, norepinephrine, histamine, and nerve growth factor did not stimulate [3H]IP formation in both cultures. ACh and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) increased the PKC activity by two- to sevenfold in the particulate fraction of both cultures. In sympathetic neurons, PKC activity was increased in the particulate fraction; activity in the cytosolic fraction was not affected. There was a 50% decline in the protein kinase C activity of the cytosolic fraction after PDB and ACh treatment of sensory cultures. The decline in PKC activity in the cytosolic fraction was attributed to the presence of nonneuronal cells in sensory cultures. To confirm this, the enzyme activity was determined in tissues that contain a heterogeneous population of cells. PDB activated PKC in the adrenal medulla and the brain of the rat. In both tissues there was a 65% decline in the PKC activity of the cytosolic fraction and about a 75% increase in the particulate fraction. We conclude that the mechanism of activation of protein kinase C in pure cultures of sympathetic neurons is different than in tissues containing a mixed population of neurons and nonneuronal cells.

Carbachol, through a muscarinic receptor, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), bradykinin, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) increased the apparent [Ca2+]i (intracellular free Ca2(+)-concentration) of dog thyrocytes in primary culture. The [Ca2+]i measured by the Quin-2 technique rose immediately after the addition of the agonists and reached a maximal value after less than 30 seconds. Afterwards, the [Ca2+]i declined to a plateau higher than the basal level when the cells were triggered with carbachol. By contrast, in most experiments with PGF2 alpha and in the case of bradykinin, TRH, and ATP, the [Ca2+]i returned to the basal value. If the extracellular Ca2+ was chelated by excess of EGTA, the addition of all agents caused a sharp reduced transient rise in the [Ca2+]i followed by a decline of the [Ca2+]i often below the basal level (especially in the case of carbachol). It is suggested that the first transient phase of these responses is due at least in part to the mobilisation of Ca2+ from intracellular stores whereas the second sustained phase of the response to carbachol mainly originates from an increased Ca2+ influx into the thyrocytes. Carbachol, bradykinin, TRH, PGF2 alpha, and ATP also increased generation of inositol phosphates in dog thyrocytes. This effect was sustained when the cells were triggered with carbachol and was more transient with bradykinin, TRH, PGF2 alpha, or ATP. All these agents and the phorbdester TPA as well as forskolin enhanced to various extent the thyrocyte H2O2 generation. This enhancement was severely reduced in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ and was mimicked by Ca2+ ionophores in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ especially in synergy with protein kinase C activators. These data suggest that the dog thyrocyte H2O2 generation, the limiting step of the thyroid hormone synthesis, is modulated by carbachol, TRH, PGF2 alpha, bradykinin, and ATP through their action on the Ca2(+)-phosphatidylinositol cascade.

The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record Ba2+ currents through voltage-activated calcium channels in the clonal dorsal root ganglion cell line F11-B9. The pain-producing peptide bradykinin (BK; 100 nM) reduced the sustained Ba2+ current in F11-B9 cells by 30%. In cultures prelabeled with 3H-arachidonic acid and tested under ionic conditions similar to those used for recording Ba2+ currents, BK also induced a concentration-dependent, transient, 2.7-fold accumulation of 3H-diacylglycerol. Both the elevation of 3H-diacylglycerol and the inhibition of Ba2+ current began within 5 sec following BK exposure, and the effective concentration range of BK was similar for the 2 responses. In whole-cell recordings, extracellularly applied 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG; 0.5-5 microM) mimicked the degree of block and occluded the block of sustained current by BK. Another protein kinase C (PKC) activator, 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (diC8), blocked 70-100% of sustained current when applied intracellularly or extracellularly at 5 microM, whereas extracellular application of ethylene glycol dioctanoate (5 microM), an analog reported not to stimulate PKC, inhibited only 14% of sustained current. The pseudosubstrate peptide PKC19-36 (2 microM in pipette) and the lipid staurosporine (100 nM in pipette), both inhibitors of PKC, reduced the effects of maximal concentrations of OAG or BK by 55-60%. Dynorphin A applied intracellularly (2 microM) as a control for nonspecific effects of PKC19-36 did not inhibit the block of sustained current by BK. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that BK inhibits whole-cell sustained Ba2+ current in F11-B9 cells via a mechanism that involves activation of PKC.

We show here novel intracellular Ca2+ oscillation in v-K-ras-transformed NIH3T3 cells induced by mitogenic peptide hormones, bradykinin and bombesin, as well as fetal calf serum. Induction of the Ca2+ oscillation is strongly correlated with the malignant properties and inversely with PKC activities in vitro and in vivo. These results suggest that the mitogen-induced Ca2+ oscillation is negatively regulated by PKC, which modulates Ca2+ influx in v-K-ras-transformed NIH3T3 cells.

In cultured coronary endothelial cells obtained from guinea pig hearts, bradykinin (10(-6) M) stimulated the 32Pi-incorporation into 5 substrate proteins with molecular weights corresponding to 27, 32, 60, 86 and 100 kDa. The time course of phosphorylation of the 60, 86 and 100 kDa proteins was rapid (within 30 s), but transient (max. within 1-2 min.), while the 32Pi incorporation into the 27 and 32 kDa protein was delayed but increased within 10 minutes. Ca+(+)-ionophore A 23187 (10(-5) M) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) (10(-5) M) both mimicked the effects of the bradykinin induced phosphorylation pattern. While A 23187 enhanced the phosphorylation of the 27, 60 and 100 kDa substrates, TPA increased the 32Pi-incorporation into the 32 and 86 kDa proteins. Furthermore the time course of protein phosphorylation elicited by A 23187 and TPA showed marked similarities to those obtained with bradykinin. Our findings are consistent with the view, that stimulation of coronary endothelial bradykinin-receptors activates both Ca+(+)-dependent protein kinases and protein kinase C.

We have examined the effect of bradykinin (BK) and other peptide mediators with related cellular actions on tyrosine phosphorylation in confluent Swiss 3T3 fibroblast cells using an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. Immunoblots of extracts from cells stimulated with BK showed a major heterogeneous band centered at Mr 120,000. Three phosphorylated protein species were present within this band. The lower of these three phosphoproteins was occasionally present under basal conditions. The detection of this group of phosphoproteins by the antibody was prevented by coincubation with an excess of phosphotyrosine but not with an excess of phosphoserine or phosphothreonine. The BK-promoted increase in phosphorylation was rapid and transient with the peak response apparent following BK exposure for 1 min. The response was dose-dependent with half-maximal effect occurring at 10-30 nM BK. The antagonist Arg0, Hyp3, Thi5,8, D-Phe7-BK completely inhibited the response indicating that BK was acting via a B2 kinin receptor. Bombesin, at 0.1 microM, stimulated an increase in phosphorylation of the 120-kDa group of proteins with the same efficacy as 0.1 microM BK. On the other hand, 1 microM vasopressin was considerably less efficaceous than either of the former agonists. Short-term preexposure to 0.1 microM 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (1 min), a protein kinase C stimulator, or 30 microM H7 (15 min), a protein kinase C inhibitor, had no significant effect either on the basal or BK-promoted increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins. BK also stimulated inositol phosphate formation in these cells. Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibited BK stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation. In addition, genistein partially inhibited BK stimulation of inositol phosphate formation. These results show that an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 120-kDa group of proteins is an early protein kinase C-independent cellular signal elicited by both bradykinin and bombesin.

Stimulation of human fibroblasts with bradykinin (BK) results in the generation of diacylglycerol (DG) and phosphatidic acid (PA). Prelabeling of the cells with [3H]arachidonic acid and [14C]palmitic acid allowed us to quantitate these lipid second messengers and to determine their origin, i.e. DGi and PAi from 3H-enriched inositol phospholipids, and DGc and PAc from 14C-enriched phosphatidylcholine, respectively. BK elicited a biphasic DG response: a first peak at 10-15 s, containing DGi, followed by a second peak at 10-30 min, which is mainly DGc. The latter did not result from de novo lipid biosynthesis. BK also generated free [3H]arachidonate and, to a lesser extent, mono[3H]arachidonoylglycerol. BK stimulation rapidly increased PAi, much more so than PAc, suggesting that DGi, rather than DGc, is the preferred substrate for the enzyme DG kinase. Short pretreatment of the cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) abolished the BK-induced breakdown of phosphoinositides, but did not affect the second-phase DGc level. PMA alone also elicited DGc formation, but more slowly, suggesting a different mechanism. Down-regulation of protein kinase C (PKC) by long term treatment with phorbol ester, prior to BK stimulation, resulted in (i) enhanced DGi and decreased PAi formation, suggesting that DG kinase activity is positively controlled by PKC; (ii) the unexpected manifestation of rapidly formed DGc; (iii) no change in the DGc levels obtained after 30-min BK stimulation, but complete suppression of PMA-induced DGc formation. In contrast, two inhibitors of PKC, staurosporin and 1-O-hexadecyl-2-O-methylglycerol, inhibited both BK- and PMA-induced DGc formation at 30 min, leaving the rapid response towards BK unaffected. The results suggest that the BK-induced rapid and later-phase DG formation and the PMA-induced DG formation are differentially controlled by PKC via mechanisms that differ in the susceptibility to down-regulation or inhibition of PKC.
