Among catechins tested, (-)epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)epicatechin gallate (ECg), (-) epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae O1 classical Inaba 569B and El Tor Inaba V86. S. aureus was more sensitive than V. cholerae O1 to these compounds. EGCg showed also a bactericidal activity against V. cholerae O1 569B. Pyrogallol showed a stronger antibacterial activity against S. aureus and V. cholerae O1 than tannic and gallic acid. Rutin or caffein had no effect on them. ECg and EGCg showed the most potent anti-hemolysin activity against S. aureus alpha-toxin, Vibrio parahaemolyticus thermostable direct hemolysin (Vp-TDH) and cholera hemolysin. Among catechin relatives, only tannic acid had a potent anti-hemolysin activity against alpha-toxin. These results suggest that the catechol and pyrogallol groups are responsible for the antibacterial and bactericidal activities, while the conformation of catechins might play an important role in the anti-hemolysin activity.

In rat pancreatic acinar tissue adenylate cyclase is stimulated by low concentrations of secretin, while higher concentrations also activate phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate hydrolysis. By the use of the secretin analogues [Tyr10,13]secretin and [Tyr10,13,Phe22,Trp25]secretin, we have shown that substitution of tyrosine for leucine at positions 10 and 13 was sufficient to reduce the ability of the peptide to stimulate the production of inositol trisphosphate and the increases in cytosolic free calcium, while the ability to stimulate cAMP is little affected and the peptide remained a full agonist. Incubation with cholera toxin caused increases in cAMP, which were maximal after 30 min. Cholera toxin treatment also resulted in a marked reduction of secretin-stimulated inositol trisphosphate production, but this required a much more prolonged treatment (150-240 min), suggesting that different cholera toxin substrates were involved. Activation of protein kinase C with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate had no effect on secretin-induced cAMP formation, nor was secretin-stimulated inositol trisphosphate formation altered by further increases in cAMP. These results indicate that the mechanisms by which secretin stimulates adenylate cyclase and activates phospholipase C in acinar tissue are completely independent.

The last few years have evidenced a tremendous expansion in our appreciation of the role of regulatory GTP-binding proteins in cellular activation. The availability of cholera and pertussis toxins to detect G proteins as well as methodological advances in the study of cellular function has afforded the opportunity to examine G protein participation in many cellular events. Regulation of adenylyl cyclase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase by G proteins has been demonstrated. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-biphosphate specific phospholipase C activity appears to be subject to G protein control. G proteins regulate inward K+ and Ca2+ channels through a mechanism which may be independent of effects on the above mentioned enzymes. Certainly, the number of G proteins which have been identified from sequencing of complementary DNA affords the potential for G protein involvement in many cellular events. Only three G proteins have however been isolated and functionally characterized, Gs, Gi and transducin. Whether all the functions of these proteins have been identified remains to be seen.

By employing early-passaged rabbit kidney epithelial cells in tissue culture, we demonstrated that angiotensin II (AII) has unique mechanisms of signal transduction. First, unlike its action in other target tissues, micromolar concentrations of AII are required to induce small rises in cytosolic calcium, [Ca2+]i, an action which is not accompanied by the release of inositol phosphates (IP). In contrast, nanomolar bradykinin (BK) mobilizes [Ca2+]i through activation of phospholipase C and release of IP. Neither of these stimulated calcium responses exhibits pertussis toxin (PTx) sensitivity. Secondly, AII and BK at 10(-9) to 10(-7) M stimulate cAMP indirectly through PGE2 production in distal cells. AII- and BK-stimulated PGE2 release is PTx inhibitible, suggestive of the presence of a GTP binding protein mediating the response. By contrast, arginine vasopressin fails to elicit rises in [Ca2+]i but exerts its primary effect on cAMP production in distal cells via direct coupling to a stimulatory GTP binding protein, as evidenced by uncoupling with cholera toxin. Regulation of PGE2 synthesis appears to occur via phospholipase A2, not C, by all three peptides.

Bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells were sensitized with monoclonal mouse IgE antibody and treated with cholera toxin (CT), which ADP-ribosylated the alpha-subunit of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein Gs, prior to challenge with either antigen or thrombin. The CT treatment increased intracellular cAMP levels, but neither enhanced nor inhibited antigen-induced histamine release or arachidonate release. The same treatment of the sensitized bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells with CT markedly enhanced thrombin-induced histamine release without affecting arachidonate release. The CT treatment failed to affect antigen-induced and thrombin-induced generation of inositol trisphosphate and of diacylglycerol or mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. The results indicate that Gs in bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells is not involved in the transduction of the antigen-induced or thrombin-induced triggering signal to phospholipase C, which initiates the enhancement of phosphatidylinositol turnover. The enhancement of thrombin-induced histamine release by CT treatment with the observations that thrombin-induced histamine release was inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin suggest that the involvement of a guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein in thrombin-induced biochemical events is an event distal to Ca2+ mobilization.

To examine the role of protein kinase C (PKC) on the acid secretory activity of isolated rat parietal cells, histamine-and dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (DBcAMP)-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine accumulation was determined in the presence of agents that redistribute PKC activity to plasma membranes. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), and phospholipase C inhibited, in a dose-dependent fashion, histamine- and DBcAMP-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine accumulation. Because PKC inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) reversed the effect, the results suggest that inhibition of histamine- or DBcAMP-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine accumulation induced by PMA, OAG, or phospholipase C was caused by increased activity of PKC in plasma membrane. To determine where in the cascade of events PKC inhibits acid secretion, histamine-, cholera toxin-, and forskolin-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine accumulation was measured with or without PMA. Because the percent of inhibition by PMA of [14C]aminopyrine accumulation was similar with the three secretagogues, the results suggest that PKC inhibits acid secretion at a point beyond adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production. This was supported by the fact that PMA had no effect on histamine-stimulated production of cAMP and by the finding that activation of PKC had the same effect on histamine- or DBcAMP-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine accumulation. Histamine and DBcAMP inhibited PKC activity, suggesting a reciprocal interaction between PKC and histamine-triggered signal transduction pathway.

Rat mast cells and bone marrow-derived mouse mast cells (BMMC) were sensitized with mouse IgE mAb, and permeabilized by ATP to introduce guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) and/or guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) into the cells. After ATP-induced lesions were resealed with Mg2+, the cells were challenged by Ag to determine the effect of the nonhydrolyzable guanosine phosphate on Ag-induced hydrolysis of phosphoinositides and histamine release. Introduction of GTP gamma S into permeabilized rat mast cells or BMMC, followed by exposure of the cells to extracellular Ca2+, resulted in histamine release, but failed to induce hydrolysis of phosphoinositides. It was also found that introduction of GTP gamma S into the cells did not synergistically enhance Ag-induced histamine release. Introduction of GDP beta S into sensitized BMMC inhibited the GTP gamma S-dependent, Ca2+-induced histamine release but failed to inhibit Ag-induced histamine release. The results suggest that GTP gamma S-dependent, Ca2+-induced histamine release and Ag-induced histamine release go through independent biochemical pathways. It was also found that introduction of GTP gamma S or GDP beta S into sensitized BMMC neither enhanced nor inhibited Ag-induced formation of inositol phosphates. These results together with previous findings that pretreatment of BMMC with either pertussis toxin or cholera toxin does not affect Ag-induced hydrolysis of phosphoinositides, indicate that a G protein is not involved in the transduction of IgE-mediated triggering signals to phospholipase C in rodent mast cells.

ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are small guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that enhance the enzymatic activities of cholera toxin. Two ARF cDNAs, ARF1 and ARF3, were cloned from a human cerebellum library. Based on deduced amino acid sequences and patterns of hybridization of cDNA and oligonucleotide probes with mammalian brain poly(A)+ RNA, human ARF1 is the homologue of bovine ARF1. Human ARF3, which differs from bovine ARF1 and bovine ARF2, appears to represent a newly identified third type of ARF. Hybridization patterns of human ARF cDNA and clone-specific oligonucleotides with poly(A)+ RNA are consistent with the presence of at least two, and perhaps four, separate ARF messages in human brain. In vitro translation of ARF1, ARF2, and ARF3 produced proteins that behaved, by SDS/PAGE, similar to a purified soluble brain ARF. Deduced amino acid sequences of human ARF1 and ARF3 contain regions, similar to those in other G proteins, that are believed to be involved in GTP binding and hydrolysis. ARFs also exhibit a modest degree of homology with a bovine phospholipase C. The observations reported here support the conclusion that the ARFs are members of a multigene family of small guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. Definition of the regulation of ARF mRNAs and of function(s) of recombinant ARF proteins will aid in the elucidation of the physiologic role(s) of ARFs.

The possibility that an increased intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP) can regulate the extent of muscarinic receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide (PPI) turnover in the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH was examined. Addition of either forskolin (or its water-soluble analog, L-85,8051), theophylline, isobutylmethylxanthine, or cholera toxin, agents that interact with either the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase, cAMP phosphodiesterase, or the guanine nucleotide binding protein linked to adenylate cyclase activation, resulted in a 45-181% increase in cAMP concentration and a 27-70% inhibition of carbachol-stimulated inositol phosphate release. Through the use of digitonin-permeabilized cells, the site of inhibition was localized to a step at, or distal to, the guanine nucleotide binding protein that regulates phospholipase C activity. In contrast, when intact SK-N-SH cells were exposed to prostaglandin E1, the ensuing increases in cAMP were not accompanied by an inhibition of stimulated PPI turnover. These differential effects of increased cAMP concentrations on stimulated PPI turnover may reflect the compartmentation of cAMP within SK-N-SH cells.

The mechanism by which cAMP modulates the activity of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) was studied. Elevation of cAMP inhibited both basal and norepinephrine-stimulated phosphoinositide breakdown in C6Bu1 cells which contain at least three PLC isozymes, PLC-beta, PLC-gamma, and PLC-delta. Treatment of C6Bu1 cells with cAMP-elevating agents (cholera toxin, isobutylmethylxanthine, forskolin, and 8-bromo-cAMP) increased serine phosphate in PLC-gamma, but the phosphate contents in PLC-beta and PLC-delta were not changed. In addition, cAMP-dependent protein kinase selectively phosphorylated purified PLC-gamma among the three isozymes and added a single phosphate at serine. The serine phosphorylation, nevertheless, did not affect the activity of PLC-gamma in vitro. We propose, therefore, that the phosphorylation of PLC-gamma by cAMP-dependent protein kinase alters its interaction with putative modulatory proteins and leads to its inhibition.
