Doxorubicin, when incubated for 30 minutes with [32P]-labelled human erythrocyte membrane vesicles, produced an elevation of [32P]inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate levels. The maximum rise was obtained with 10(-8) mol/l doxorubicin [132 (S.E. 13%) of control, n = 6, P = 0.001]. However, when the inositol lipids were examined, there was no evidence that doxorubicin stimulated the breakdown of [32P]phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate under resting conditions, suggesting that the elevated levels of [32P]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate were not the result of the stimulation of phospholipase C. Instead, it was found that the dephosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by a 5'-phosphomonoesterase was partially inhibited by 10(-8) mol/l doxorubicin so that the rise in [32P]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate resulted from the inhibition of the breakdown of constitutively released [32P] inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Similar data was also obtained with another aminoglycoside antibiotic, neomycin. The release of [32P] inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and [32P] inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and the breakdown of the inositol lipids in response to calcium (2.5 x 10(-4) and 10(-3) mol/l) stimulation was enhanced by doxorubicin (10(-6) to 10(-12) mol/l). These effects on resting and stimulated inositol lipid metabolism are discussed with reference to the paradoxical effects of doxorubicin to both stimulate and inhibit proliferation, according to concentration.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3), which mobilizes intracellular Ca2+, is metabolized either by dephosphorylation to inositol 1,4-bisphosphate(Ins-(1,4)P2) or by phosphorylation to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4). It has been shown in vitro that Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 is also dephosphorylated by a 5-phosphomonoesterase to inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate. However, we have found that exogenous Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 is dephosphorylated to predominantly Ins(1,4,5)P3 in saponin-permeabilized platelets in the presence of KCl (40-160 mM). This inositol polyphosphate 3-phosphomonoesterase activity is independent of Ca2+ (0.1-100 microM), and it was also observed when the ionic strength of the incubation medium was increased with Na+. The action of KCl appears to be due to activation of a 3-phosphomonoesterase as well as an inhibition of the 5-phosphomonoesterase, because the dephosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,4)P2 was completely inhibited by KCl. The 3-phosphomonoesterase may be regulated by a protein kinase C, since both thrombin and phorbol dibutyrate increase 3-phosphomonoesterase activity and this is inhibited by staurosporine. The formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 from Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 reported here provides an additional pathway for the formation of the Ca2+-mobilizing second messenger in stimulated cells.

A specific soluble inositol phosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase has been purified approximately 2,700-fold from a 120,000g supernatant of rabbit neutrophil homogenate. The specific enzyme represented 25-50% of the total hydrolytic activity toward inositol, 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) with the remaining activity hydrolyzing both Ins-1,4,5-P3 as well as inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (Ins-1,4-P2). However, the enzyme could not be identified on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels stained with Coomassie blue, indicating that it represents a minor protein in the purified enzyme preparations. The purified enzyme has an apparent molecular mass of 43,000-47,000 daltons as determined by gel filtration and is free of other inositol phosphate phosphomonoesterases. The enzyme hydrolyzes Ins-1,4,5-P3 with an apparent Km of 18 microM and a Vmax of 1.2 mumol/min/mg. The 5-phosphomonoesterase requires Mg2+ for activity and is not affected by physiological concentrations of Ca2+ or calmodulin. The pH optimum for activity is 7.5. Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate is a potent competitive inhibitor of Ins-1,4,5-P3 hydrolysis (Ki = microM), whereas Ins-1,4-P2 is a weak inhibitor (Ki = 173 microM). Ins-1,4,5-P3 hydrolysis is relatively unaffected by monophosphorylated substrates, however, bisphosphorylated substrates are potent inhibitors. Comparisons of neutrophil 5-phosphomonoesterase characteristics with those of platelet and rat brain enzymes support the idea that each 5-phosphomonoesterase may be a unique enzyme and play a different role dependent upon the cell or tissue in which it acts.

Antigen-mediated exocytosis in intact rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells is associated with substantial hydrolysis of membrane inositol phospholipids and an elevation in concentration of cytosol Ca2+ ([ Ca2+i]). Paradoxically, these two responses are largely dependent on external Ca2+. We report here that cells labeled with myo-[3H]inositol and permeabilized with streptolysin O do release [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate upon stimulation with antigen or guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) at low (less than 100 nM) concentrations of free Ca2+. The response, however, is amplified by increasing free Ca2+ to 1 microM. The subsequent conversion of the trisphosphate to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate is enhanced also by the increase in free Ca2+. Although [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate accumulates in greater amounts than is the case in intact cells, [3H]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate is still the major product in permeabilized cells even when the further metabolism of [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is suppressed (by 77%) by the addition of excess (1000 microM) unlabeled inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and the phosphatase inhibitor 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. It would appear that either the activity of the membrane 5-phosphomonoesterase allows virtually instantaneous dephosphorylation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate under all conditions tested or both phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate and the 4,5-bisphosphate are substrates for the activated phospholipase C. The latter alternative is supported by the finding that permeabilized cells, which respond much more vigorously to high (supraoptimal) concentrations of antigen than do intact RBL-2H3 cells, produce substantial amounts of [3H]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate before any detectable increase in levels of [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.

The metabolism of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] consists of two pathways: dephosphorylation by 5-phosphomonoesterase(s) produces inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, and phosphorylation by Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase yields inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4]. The requirements for Ins(1,4,5)P3 kinase activity in retina were characterized. Apparent Km values for ATP and Ins(1,4,5)P3 are 1.4 mM and 1.3 microM respectively. A direct demonstration of phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 by [gamma-32P]ATP was achieved. Characterization of the 32P-labelled product revealed that it had the expected chromatographic and electrophoretic properties of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4.

Rabbit peritoneal neutrophils, permeabilized with Triton X-100, contain inositol phosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase activity capable of converting [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) to [3H]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate. This activity is found predominantly associated with the soluble component of fractionated neutrophils. It is comprised of specific and nonspecific activities toward Ins-1,4,5-P3 which can be separated by cation exchange chromatography. Treatment of neutrophils with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) prior to permeabilization does not affect the rate of Ins-1,4,5-P3 breakdown by these cells. In addition, activation of endogenous protein kinase C in a soluble fraction prepared from neutrophils does not affect the specific inositol phosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase activity of this fraction. Taken together, these results provide evidence that activation of protein kinase C in the neutrophil does not affect its 5-phosphomonoesterase activity. Unlike platelets, the phosphorylation of a 5-phosphomonoesterase, if it occurs, may not play a role in the inhibitory effects of PMA on neutrophil responsiveness.

The phosphoinositides are metabolized by phospholipase C in response to hormone or agonist stimulation in many cell types to produce diglyceride and water-soluble inositol phosphates. We have recently shown that the phospholipase C reaction products include cyclic phosphate esters of inositol. One of these, inositol 1, 2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate, is active in promoting Ca2+ mobilization in platelets and in inducing changes in conductance in Limulus photoreceptors similar to those produced by light (Wilson, D. B., Connolly, T. M., Bross, T. E., Majerus, P. W., Sherman, W. R., Tyler, A., Rubin, L. J., and Brown, J. E. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 13496-13501. In the current study, we have examined the metabolism of the inositol phosphates. We find that both cyclic and non-cyclic inositol trisphosphates are metabolized by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase, to inositol 1,2-cyclic bisphosphate and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, respectively. However, the apparent Km of the enzyme for the cyclic substrate is approximately 10-fold higher than for the non-cyclic substrate. These inositol bisphosphates are more slowly degraded to inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate and inositol 1-phosphate, respectively. Inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate is then hydrolyzed to inositol 1-phosphate, which in turn is degraded to inositol and inorganic phosphate by inositol 1-phosphate phosphatase. The human platelet inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate hydrolase enzyme and a similar rat kidney hydrolase do not utilize the cyclic polyphosphate esters of inositol as substrates. These results suggest that the inositol cyclic phosphates and the non-cyclic inositol phosphates are metabolized separately by phosphatases to cyclic and non-cyclic inositol monophosphates. The cyclic monophosphate is then converted to inositol 1-phosphate by a cyclic hydrolase. We suggest that the enzymes that metabolize the inositol phosphates may serve to regulate cellular responses to these compounds.

Human platelet plasma membranes incubated in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP and 15 mM MgCl2 incorporated radioactivity mostly into phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), which represented together over 90% of the total lipid radioactivity. After washing, reincubation of prelabelled membranes revealed some hydrolysis of the two compounds by phosphomonoesterase(s), as detected by the release of radioactive inorganic phosphate (Pi) from the two phospholipids. This degradation attained 40%/30 min for PIP in the presence of 2 mM calcium and cytosol. The effect of calcium was observed at concentrations equal to or greater than 10(-4) M. In no case did calcium alone facilitate the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (IP2). In contrast, simultaneous addition of 2 mM calcium and 2 mg/ml sodium deoxycholate promoted the formation of IP3 and IP2, indicating phosphodiesteratic cleavage of PIP2 and PIP. Phospholipase C activity was detected at calcium concentrations as low as 10(-7) M, in which case PIP2 hydrolysis was slightly more pronounced compared to PIP. Addition of cytosol increased to some extent the phospholipase C activity, suggesting that the low amount of enzyme remaining in the membrane is sufficient to promote submaximal degradation of PIP2 and PIP. We conclude that platelet polyphosphoinositides are present in the plasma membrane in a state where they remain inaccessible to phospholipase C, which is still fully active even at basal calcium concentrations, i.e., 10(-7) M. These results support the view that phosphodiesteratic cleavage of PIP2 promotes and thus precedes calcium mobilization brought about by IP3. The in vitro model presented here may prove very useful in future studies dealing with the mechanism rendering polyphosphoinositides accessible to phospholipase C attack upon agonist-receptor binding.

Phospholipase C cleaves phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to form both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and inositol 1,2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate (cInsP3). The further metabolism of these inositol trisphosphates is determined by two enzymes: a 3-kinase and a 5-phosphomonoesterase. The first enzyme converts Ins(1,4,5)P3 to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4), while the latter forms inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and inositol 1,2-cyclic 4-bisphosphate from Ins(1,4,5)P3 and cInsP3, respectively. The current studies show that the 3-kinase is unable to phosphorylate cInsP3. Also, the 5-phosphomonoesterase hydrolyzes InsP4 with an apparent Km of 0.5-1.0 microM to form inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate at a maximal velocity approximately 1/30 that for Ins(1,4,5)P3. The apparent affinity of the enzyme for the three substrates is InsP4 greater than Ins(1,4,5)P3 greater than cInsP3; however, the rate at which the phosphatase hydrolyzes these substrates is Ins(1,4,5)P3 greater than cInsP3 greater than InsP4. The 5-phosphomonoesterase and 3-kinase enzymes may control the levels of inositol trisphosphates in stimulated cells. The 3-kinase has a low apparent Km for Ins(1,4,5)P3 as does the 5-phosphomonoesterase for InsP4, implying that the formation and breakdown of InsP4 may proceed when both it and its precursor are present at low levels. Ins(1,4,5)P3 is utilized by both the 3-kinase and 5-phosphomonoesterase, while cInsP3 is utilized relatively poorly only by the 5-phosphomonoesterase. These findings imply that inositol cyclic trisphosphate may be metabolized slowly after its formation in stimulated cells.

D-myo-Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate has been previously demonstrated to act as a second messenger for the hormonal mobilization of intracellular calcium in rat liver. In this study, the breakdown of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by a phosphatase activity was characterized. Using partially purified subcellular fractions, it was found that D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate phosphatase (I-P3ase) specific activity was highest in the plasma membrane fraction, while D-myo-inositol 1,4-bisphosphate phosphatase specific activity was highest in the cytosolic and microsomal fractions. The plasma membrane I-P3ase was Mg2+-dependent with optimal activity observed at 0.5-1.5 mM free Mg2+. The enzyme had a neutral pH optimum, suggesting that it was neither an acid nor alkaline phosphatase. Neither LiCl nor NaF inhibited the I-P3ase activity. However, both L-cysteine and dithiothreitol stimulated the activity 2-fold. Spermine (2.0 mM) inhibited the I-P3ase activity by 50%, while putrescine and spermidine had little or no effect.
