In permeabilized C6 glioma cells and NIH 3T3 cells, the peptide endothelin 1 (ET-1) in combination with GTP gamma S stimulates the formation of inositol phosphates. In the presence of 10 microM GTP gamma S, ET-1 induces the formation of inositol phosphates with an EC50 value of 2.5 nM for C6 glioma cells and 1.6 nM for NIH 3T3 cells. The analogous peptide endothelin 3 (ET-3) is less potent than ET-1 in such action. In NIH 3T3 cells, ET-1+GTP gamma S-induced formation of inositol phosphates could be detected after 1 min of stimulation, and it increased for up to 30 min. ET-1-induced effects were partially reduced by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (1 microgram/ml) in C6 glioma cells, but were unaffected in NIH 3T3 cells. In binding studies in whole C6 cells and NIH 3T3 cells, specific binding for [125I]ET-1 was detected. Cross-linking of [125I]ET-1 in whole C6 cells revealed the presence of two binding proteins for ET-1 of 74 kDa and 55 kDa. ET-1 at 100 nM inhibited the labeling of both proteins by [125I]ET-1. However, ET-3 inhibited the labeling of the 55 kDa protein only. The results provide direct evidence for endothelin receptor coupling to phospholipase C through guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins. In addition, in C6 cells, endothelin-mediated phospholipase C activation is partially inhibited by pertussis toxin pretreatment. The endothelin receptor involved in phospholipase C stimulation in C6 cells seems to correspond to a 74 kDa protein which binds ET-1 but not ET-3.

We have examined the cross talk between adenosine and bradykinin receptors in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. Both adenosine and bradykinin mobilized intracellular free calcium via the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Adenosine exerted its actions via adenosine A1 receptors as demonstrated by the observations that N6-cyclopentyladenosine, a selective A1 receptor agonist, had an EC50 in the low nanomolar range and that a selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, counteracted adenosine-mediated responses at concentrations typical for signaling via adenosine A1 receptors. Adenosine A1 receptors were coupled to phospholipase C via pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein(s) [G protein(s)], whereas bradykinin responses were unaffected by pertussis toxin. When adenosine or N6-cyclopentyladenosine was combined with bradykinin, the resulting formation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate was more than additive, and the EC50 value for adenosine and N6-cyclopentyladenosine was shifted to the left by bradykinin, the affinity of which was unaltered. Combining N6-cyclopentyladenosine and bradykinin also synergistically raised intracellular free calcium both at subthreshold levels and at maximal concentrations of the two agonists. The interaction was not dependent upon cAMP. In conclusion, stimulation of adenosine A1 receptors coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein(s) and bradykinin receptors coupled to pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein(s) synergistically mobilizes intracellular free calcium and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation.

The protein kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu) dose-dependently inhibited platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced [Ca2+]i elevation and inositol monophosphate (IP1) accumulation in neurohybrid NG108-15 cells with IC50 values of 162 nM and 35 nM, respectively. Pretreatment of NG108-15 cells with PKC inhibitor H-7 partially prevented the inhibitory effect of PDBu on PAF-induced [Ca2+]i elevation as well as PI metabolism in NG108-15 cells. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (PTX) resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of PAF-induced IP1 and IP3 accumulation but only slightly affected PAF-induced [Ca2+]i elevation in NG108-15 cells. The results reveal that PAF receptor-mediated Ca2+ mobilization and PI metabolism in NG108-15 cells are regulated by PKC while a PTX-sensitive G protein is coupled to PAF receptor for inducing activation of phospholipase C.

We have previously reported that in several renal cell types, adenosine receptor agonists inhibit adenylyl cyclase and activate phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. In the present study, in 28A cells, both of these adenosine receptor-mediated responses were inhibited by 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX), a highly selective A1 adenosine receptor antagonist. The binding characteristics of the adenosine A1 receptor in the 28A renal cell line were studied using the radiolabeled antagonist [3H]DPCPX to determine whether two separate binding sites could account for these responses. Saturation binding of [3H]DPCPX to 28A cell membranes revealed a single class of A1 binding sites with an apparent Kd value of 1.4 nM and maximal binding capacity of 64 fmol/mg protein. Competition experiments with a variety of adenosine agonists gave biphasic displacement curves with a pharmacological profile characteristic of A1 receptors. Comparison of [3H]DPCPX competition binding data from 28A cell membranes with rabbit brain membranes, a tissue with well-characterized A1 receptors, reveals that the A1 receptor population in 28A cells has similar agonist binding affinities to the receptor population in brain but has a considerably lower density. Addition of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (100 microM) to 28A cell membranes caused the competition curves to shift from biphasic to monophasic, indicating that the A1 receptors exist in two interconvertible affinity states because of their coupling to G proteins.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We previously reported that pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive GTP-binding protein is involved in the coupling of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor to phospholipase C in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells (1). In the present study, we analyzed the mechanism of PGE2-induced arachidonic acid (AA) release in MC3T3-E1 cells. PGE2 stimulated the release of AA and the formation of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) dose dependently in the range between 1 nM and 10 microM. The effect of PGE2 on AA release (ED50 was 80 nM) was more potent than that on IP3 formation (ED50 was 0.8 microM). Quinacrine, a phospholipase A2 inhibitor, suppressed the PGE2-induced AA release but had little effect on the IP3 formation. NaF, a GTP-binding protein activator, mimicked PGE2 by stimulating the AA release. The AA release stimulated by a combination of PGE2 and NaF was not additive. PTX had little effect on the PGE2-induced AA release. These results strongly suggest that the AA release and the phosphoinositide hydrolysis are separately stimulated by PGE2 in osteoblast-like cells, and the PGE2-induced AA release is mediated by PTX-insensitive GTP-binding protein.

Insulin treatment of isolated liver plasma membranes induced the release of 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase. This effect was maximal at physiological hormone concentrations, being 36% and 17% for 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase respectively, and was fully mimicked by the phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), thus confirming the presence of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchoring-system for these exofacial enzymatic proteins. The complete inhibition of insulin dependent enzyme release by neomycin is strongly supportive of an involvement of membrane-located PI-PLC activity. In addition, the insulin-like effect on enzyme release induced by the GTP non-hydrolysable analog, GTP-gamma-S, and its sensitivity to the pertussis toxin are in favour of a mediatory role exerted by the G proteins system, in the transduction of some actions of insulin.

Bovine liver cytosol contains a phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PLCcyt) that is activated by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S)-activated G-proteins from liver plasma membranes. Heparin-Sepharose chromatography indicated that PLCcyt was immunologically distinct from PLC-beta 1, PLC-gamma 1, or PLC-delta 1 from brain. Initial purification of the GTP gamma S-activated G-proteins that stimulated PLCcyt indicated that the beta gamma complex was responsible. G-proteins were subsequently extracted from liver membranes as heterotrimers and purified in the presence of AlCl3, MgCl2, and NaF to allow reversible activation. Immunoblot analysis with an antiserum selective for the beta subunit showed that the stimulatory activity corresponded with the presence of this protein at every chromatographic step. When liver beta gamma complex was purified and separated from all detectable alpha subunits, as shown by immunoblotting and silver staining, it strongly stimulated PLCcyt after removal of the activating ligand [AlF4]- by gel filtration. beta gamma prepared from brain was approximately equipotent with that from liver. beta gamma was half-maximally effective at 33 nM and produced a maximal 50-fold activation of the PLC. Under identical conditions, beta gamma had no effect on brain PLC-gamma 1 or PLC-delta 1 and produced a 2-fold stimulation of PLC-beta 1 activity. Addition of purified GDP-bound alpha o, which had no effect by itself, completely reversed the beta gamma activation of PLCcyt, confirming that beta gamma was the active species. These data provide evidence for a novel mechanism by which beta gamma subunits of pertussis toxin-sensitive or -insensitive G-proteins activate phospholipase C.

In rabbit peritoneal neutrophils prelabeled with [3H] lyso platelet-activating factor, a protein kinase C inhibitor, staurosporine (> 1 microM), increased [3H]phosphatidylethanol ([3H]PEt) level in the presence of ethanol in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, providing evidence for staurosporine activation of phospholipase D (PLD). The staurosporine activation of the enzyme absolutely required both extracellular calcium and cytochalasin B, and was almost completely inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (IAP). In a reconstituted system where the purified Gi1 had been incorporated into phospholipid vesicles, staurosporine activated GTPase activity of Gi1 in a concentration-dependent fashion, with a maximal 4-5-fold effect. ADP-ribosylation by IAP of Gi1 in vesicles significantly suppressed the staurosporine activation. As with the GTPase activity of Gi1, GTPase activities of other purified IAP-sensitive G proteins, such as Gi2 and G(o), were significantly stimulated by staurosporine, but the cholera toxin substrate Gs was appreciably less sensitive to the staurosporine stimulation. The staurosporine activation of GTPase was also observed in rabbit neutrophil membranes from control cells, but not in membranes from IAP-treated neutrophils. From these results, we conclude that the staurosporine activation of PLD in rabbit neutrophils is attributed to the direct activation of an IAP-sensitive G protein in a similar manner to receptors occupied by agonists. By contrast, staurosporine failed to activate phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) under the conditions in which it activated PLD, indicating that there exists a PLD activation pathway independent of PI-PLC. Furthermore, it was found that N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase release from the granules of intact neutrophils was evoked by staurosporine to almost the same extent as by fMLP (100 nM), but O2- generation was not affected. These results suggest a possibility that PLD pathway plays an important role in enzyme release, but is not sufficient for O2- generation, in rabbit peritoneal neutrophils.

We have previously reported that platelet-activating factor (PAF) elevates cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in fura-2-loaded glomerular mesangial cells. To confirm that this increase in [Ca2+]i is a result of receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase C, we investigated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2) in PAF-treated mesangial cells. PAF (10(-7) M) stimulated a rapid and transient formation of inositol trisphosphate. In concomitant experiments, PAF stimulated a biphasic accumulation of 3H-arachidonate-labeled 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG). The secondary elevation in DAG was coincident with a rise in 3H-phosphorylcholine (PC) and 3H-phosphorylethanolamine (PE) suggesting that PAF stimulates delayed phospholipase activities which hydrolyze alternate phospholipids besides the polyphosphoinositides. This PAF-stimulated elevation in 3H-water soluble phosphorylbases was seen at 5 min but not at 15 sec suggesting that the initial rise in DAG as well as the initial elevation in [Ca2+]i are due primarily to PtdIns-4,5-P2 hydrolysis. PAF also stimulated PGE2 as well as 3H-arachidonic acid and 3H-lyso phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) formation. We suggest that arachidonate released specifically from PtdCho via phospholipase A2 is a source of this PAF-elevated PGE2. It has been postulated that anti-inflammatory prostaglandins may antagonize the contractile and proinflammatory effects of PAF via activation of adenylate cyclase. Surprisingly, exogenous PAF reduced basal and receptor-mediated cAMP concentration indicating that PAF-stimulated transmembrane signaling pathways may oppose receptor-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase. We have taken advantage of the different sensitivities of phospholipases A2 and C(s) to PMA, EGTA, and pertussis toxin to dissociate phospholipase A2 and C activities. Acute PMA-treatment enhanced PAF-stimulated PGE2 formation, reduced PAF-induced elevations in [Ca2+]i and had no effect upon PAF-stimulated 3H-PE. We have also demonstrated that phospholipase A2, but not PtdIns-specific phospholipase C, was sensitive to external calcium concentration. The role of a GTP-binding protein to couple PAF-receptors to the PtdIns-specific phospholipase C was confirmed as GTP gamma S synergistically elevated PAF-stimulated inositol phosphate formation. We also demonstrated that pertussis toxin ADP-ribosylates a single protein of an apparent 42 kD mass and that PAF pretreatment reduced subsequent ADP-ribosylation in a time-dependent manner. However, pertussis toxin had no effect upon phospholipase C-generated water soluble phosphorylbases or inositol phosphates. In contrast, PAF-stimulated phospholipase A2 and PAF-inhibited adenylyl cyclase activities were sensitive to pertussis toxin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

To evaluate the identity of the guanosine triphosphate--binding proteins coupling arginine vasopressin receptor occupancy with activation of phospholipase C, leading to Ca2+ mobilization, and activation of phospholipase A2, leading to arachidonate release and prostanoid formation, we used intact cells, saponin-permeabilized cells, and membranes of the rat mesangial cell. Arginine vasopressin 10(-7) mol/L produced a dose-dependent increase in cytosolic Ca2+ to maximal levels of 500 nmol/L with peak responses occurring within 10 seconds of addition of arginine vasopressin to cells in suspension. Arginine vasopressin 10(-7) mol/L elicited a maximal response. These increases were associated temporarily with a fourfold increase in tritiated D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation in prelabeled cells. Pertussis toxin (200 ng/ml) did not inhibit the Ca2+ increase nor did it inhibit the increase in tritiated D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation, suggesting a pertussis toxin--insensitive signaling pathway for phospholipase C hydrolysis in response to vasopressin. Membranes prepared from mesangial cells increased D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation in vitro in response to arginine vasopressin and guanosine-5'-0(3- thiotrisphosphate), and this stimulation was inhibited by guanosine-5'-0(2-thiodiphosphate), confirming the involvement of a guanosine triphosphate--binding protein. In contrast arginine vasopressin stimulated arachidonate release from intact mesangial cells, and this effect was blocked by pretreating cells with pertussis toxin. To demonstrate that this was through a pertussis toxin--sensitive guanosine triphosphate--binding protein, we permeabilized cells with saponin and determined that arginine vasopressin and guanosine-5'-0(3-thiotriphosphate) stimulated the release of arachidonic acid and the stimulation of guanosine-5'-0(3-thiotriphosphate) was inhibited by guanosine-5'-0(2-thiodiphosphate). Finally, pertussis toxin was able to stimulate adenosine diphosphate ribosylation in vivo of a substrate protein in mesangial cell membranes of 41 kd, and this ribosylation was inhibited by pretreating cells with pertussis toxin. These data suggest that the release of arachidonic acid by vasopressin in glomerular mesangial cells is linked to a pertussis toxin--sensitive guanosine triphosphate--binding protein and that this activation of phospholipase C in vasopressin is linked to a pertussis toxin--insensitive guanosine triphosphate--binding protein.
