Both micromolar Ca2+ and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates (InsPs) in digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells prelabelled with [3H]inositol. The production of InsPs was potentiated by ATP. Guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]) caused a GTP-reversible shift to higher concentrations in the Ca(2+)-concentration-response curve for the release of InsPs without changing the maximal response. GTP[S] caused a shift to lower concentrations of Ca2+ and also increased the maximal response. The effects of GTP[S] and Ca2+ were synergistic. Although as much as 80% of the InsPs were derived from phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdInsP) or 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2), the amount of InsPs produced could be several times the total amount of PtdInsP and PtdInsP2 in the cells and was largely accounted for by a decrease in PtdIns. The levels of labelled PtdInsP and PtdInsP2 increased on stimulation with Ca2+, but decreased on stimulation with GTP[S] or the combination of Ca2+ and GTP[S]. Preincubation with Ca2+ and ATP amplified the subsequent GTP[S]-induced production of InsPs. ATP and its gamma-thio and beta gamma-imido analogues stimulated the formation of InsPs in intact cells. However, only ATP potentiated the responses to Ca2+ and GTP[S] in permeable cells. Our main conclusions are: (1) a GTP-binding protein participates in the Ca(2+)-induced production of InsPs by phospholipase C, and (2) ATP markedly potentiates the stimulated formation of InsPs, an effect with arises from its role in polyphosphoinositide synthesis and does not involve purinergic receptor activation in permeabilized cells. The data also suggest that the different effects of Ca2+ and GTP[S] on polyphosphoinositide synthesis probably contribute to the synergistic action of Ca2+ and GTP[S] on the generation of InsPs.

Undifferentiated and differentiated HL-60 leukemic cells possess nucleotide receptors which functionally couple to phospholipase C via pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins). We investigated the role of extracellular nucleotides in the regulation of beta-glucuronidase release in HL-60 cells. In dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP)-differentiated HL-60 cells, the chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe), the phosphorothioate analogue of ATP, adenosine 5'-O-[3-thio]triphosphate (ATP[gamma S]), and UTP increased cytosolic Ca2+ from 100 nM up to 1.2 microM with EC50 values of 4 nM, 1 microM and 100 nM, respectively. In these cells, ATP[gamma S] induced exocytosis with an EC50 of 4 microM and an effectiveness amounting to 50-70% of that of fMet-Leu-Phe. ATP, ITP, UTP, CTP, and uridine 5'-O-[2-thio]diphosphate activated exocytosis as well. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) induced exocytosis with an EC50 of 115 ng/ml and an effectiveness similar to that of ATP[gamma S]. Cytochalasin B (CB) differently potentiated exocytosis induced by ATP[gamma S], fMet-Leu-Phe and PMA. Treatment of Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells with pertussis toxin (500 ng/ml) for 24 h resulted in ADP-ribosylation of more than 97.5% of the G-proteins. Under these conditions, pertussis toxin almost completely inhibited the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ and beta-glucuronidase release induced by fMet-Leu-Phe but only partially inhibited the effects of ATP[gamma S] and UTP. fMet-Leu-Phe at a non-stimulatory concentration (1 nM) potentiated ATP[gamma S]-induced beta-glucuronidase release in the presence but not in the absence of CB. In contrast, ATP[gamma S] and fMet-Leu-Phe synergistically activated superoxide formation in the absence of CB. PMA potentiated superoxide formation induced by ATP[gamma S] or fMet-Leu-Phe and did not affect exocytosis induced by ATP[gamma S] or fMet-Leu-Phe. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, fMet-Leu-Phe, ATP[gamma S], UTP and PMA did not induce beta-glucuronidase release. fMet-Leu-Phe did not increase cytosolic Ca2+ in undifferentiated HL-60 cells, whereas ATP[gamma S] and UTP were similarly potent and effective as in Bt2cAMP-differentiated cells. In differentiated HL-60 cells, fMet-Leu-Phe induced aggregation, and ATP[gamma S] induced a transient shape change. Our results show (I) that exocytosis in HL-60 cells does not obligatorily depend on CB. (II) Purine and pyrimidine nucleotides activate exocytosis via pertussis toxin-sensitive and -insensitive signal transduction pathways.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Electropermeabilized human platelets containing 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine ([14C]5-HT) were suspended in a glutamate medium containing ATP and incubated for 10 min with (in various combinations) Ca2+ buffers, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), guanine nucleotides, and thrombin. Release of [14C]5-HT and beta-thromboglobulin (beta TG) were used to measure secretion from dense and alpha-granules, respectively. Ca2+ alone induced secretion from both granule types; half-maximal effects were seen at a -log [Ca2+ free] (pCa) of 5.5 and maximal secretion at a pCa of 4.5, when approximately 80% of 5-HT and approximately 50% of beta TG were released. Addition of PMA, guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), GTP, or thrombin shifted the Ca2+ dose-response curves for secretion of both 5-HT and beta TG to the left and caused small increases in the maximum secretion observed. These results suggested that secretion from alpha-granules, like that from dense granules, is a Ca(2+)-dependent process stimulated by the sequential activation of a G-protein, phospholipase C, and protein kinase C (PKC). However, high concentrations of PMA and GTP gamma S had distinct effects in the absence of Ca2+ (pCa greater than 9); 100 nM PMA released approximately 20% of platelet 5-HT but little beta TG, whereas 100 microM GTP gamma S stimulated secretion of approximately 25% of each. Simultaneous addition of PMA greatly enhanced these effects of GTP gamma S. Phosphorylation of pleckstrin in permeabilized platelets incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP was used as an index of the activation of PKC during secretion. In the absence of Ca2+, 100 nM PMA caused maximal phosphorylation of pleckstrin and 100 microM GTP gamma S was approximately 50% as effective as PMA; neither GTP gamma S nor Ca2+ enhanced the phosphorylation of pleckstrin caused by 100 nM PMA. These results indicate that, although activation of PKC promoted secretion, GTP gamma S exerted additional stimulatory effects on secretion from both dense and alpha-granules that were not mediated by PKC. Measurement of [3H]inositol phosphate formation in permeabilized platelets containing [3H]phosphoinositides showed that GTP gamma S did not stimulate phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in the absence of Ca2+. It follows that in permeabilized platelets, GTP gamma S can both stimulate PKC and enhance secretion via G-protein-linked effectors other than this phospholipase.

We have examined the activation of phospholipase D in human platelets treated with alpha-thrombin. When incubated with 1-O-[9,10-3H2]hexadecyl-2-lysophosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and 1-alkyl-[32P]lysoPtdCho for 2 h, platelets formed 3H/32P-labeled PtdCho in a ratio of 11:1. After incubation of such labeled platelets with alpha-thrombin for 5 min, increased accumulation of 3H/32P-labeled phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) was detected in the same ratio, indicating the action of phospholipase D. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and alpha-thrombin each stimulated the formation of labeled PtdOH as above in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, with only minor changes in labeled diglyceride. A23187 was able to cause increases in labeled PtdOH comparable to those observed with alpha-thrombin. beta-Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, an activator of protein kinase C, only slightly stimulated the accumulation of labeled PtOH. The protein kinase C inhibitor, staurosporine, totally blocked these changes but only slightly inhibited the increases in labeled PtdOH promoted by alpha-thrombin. These results suggest that an increase in intracellular Ca2+, rather than protein kinase C activity, is a major factor regulating phospholipase D in platelets exposed to alpha-thrombin. We have also examined the relative contributions of phospholipase D and diglyceride kinase (following phospholipase C action) to PtdOH accumulation in [32P]Pi-labeled platelets by comparing the 32P-specific radioactivities of PtdOH, PtdCho, and metabolic gamma-ATP in control and alpha-thrombin-exposed platelets. Based on these determinations, we conclude that 13 and 87% of incremental PtdOH in human platelets exposed to alpha-thrombin arises via phospholipase D acting on PtdCho and phospholipase C/diglyceride kinase, respectively.

In rat peritoneal mast cells, the activation of GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate GTP[gamma S] has been found to induce a transient rise in intracellular calcium as well as degranulation. A G protein that couples to phospholipase C (Gp) is thought to mediate the calcium response, whereas degranulation is mediated by a different G protein, termed Ge. In an attempt to activate mast-cell G proteins more selectively, the GTP analogues guanosine 5'-[alpha-thio]triphosphate (GTP[alpha S]) and guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]triphosphate (GTP[beta S]) (RP and SP diastereomers) were introduced into mast cells by means of patch pipettes. Degranulation and free intracellular calcium were monitored by cell capacitance and fura-2 measurements, respectively. It was found that RP-GTP[alpha S], like GTP[gamma S], induced both calcium release and exocytosis. In contrast, RP-GTP[beta S] induced repetitive calcium spikes that were not regularly accompanied by exocytosis. These results suggest that RP-GTP[beta S] selectively activates calcium signaling in mast cells. The RP-GTP[beta S]-induced oscillations were independent of extracellular calcium. They were absent in the presence of heparin or high concentrations of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and modulated by compound 48/80, suggesting the involvement of the inositol phospholipid signaling pathway. Latency of appearance and spiking frequency were markedly modulated by varying the intracellular ATP concentration. The differential activation of intracellular calcium signaling and exocytosis by GTP[beta S] confirms the presence of independent signal-transduction pathways for the two cell responses. RP-GTP[beta S] may prove helpful in the biochemical and molecular characterization of Gp, the as-yet-unidentified G protein that couples receptors to intracellular calcium release.

The mechanism by which extracellular ATP stimulates insulin secretion was investigated in RINm5F cells. ATP depolarized the cells as demonstrated both by using the patch-clamp technique and a fluorescent probe. The depolarization is due to closure of ATP-sensitive K+ channels as shown directly in outside-out membrane patches. ATP also raised cytosolic Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i). At the single cell level the latency of the [Ca2+]i response was inversely related to ATP concentration. The [Ca2+]i rise is due both to inositol trisphosphate mediated Ca2+ mobilization and to Ca2+ influx. The former component, as well as inositol trisphosphate generation, were inhibited by phorbol myristate acetate which uncouples agonist receptors from phospholipase C. This manoeuvre did not block Ca2+ influx or membrane depolarization. Diazoxide, which opens ATP-sensitive K+ channels, attenuated membrane depolarization and part of the Ca2+ influx stimulated by ATP. However, the main Ca2+ influx component was unaffected by L-type channel blockers, suggesting the activation of other Ca2+ conductance pathways. ATP increased the rate of insulin secretion by more than 12-fold but the effect was transient. Prolonged exposure to EGTA dissociated the [Ca2+]i rise from ATP-induced insulin secretion, since the former was abolished and the latter only decreased by about 60%. In contrast, vasopressin-evoked insulin secretion was more sensitive to Ca2+ removal than the accompanying [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C stimulation by phorbol myristate acetate abrogated vasopressin but only reduced ATP-induced insulin secretion by 34%. These results suggest that ATP stimulates insulin release by both phospholipase C dependent and distinct mechanisms. The Ca2+)-independent component of insulin secretion points to a direct triggering of exocytosis by ATP.

GTP-binding proteins have been implicated to function as key transducing elements in the mechanism underlying receptor activation of a membrane-associated phospholipase C activity. In the present study, the regulation of phospholipase C activity by GTP-binding proteins has been characterized in a detergent-solubilized system derived from bovine brain membranes. Guanosine-5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP-gamma-S) and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) stimulated a dose-dependent increase in phospholipase C activity with half-maximal activation at 0.6 microM and 10 microM, respectively. The maximal degree of stimulation due to Gpp(NH)p or GTP-gamma-S was comparable. 100 microM GTP had only a slight stimulatory effect on phospholipase C activity. Adenine nucleotides, 100 microM adenylyl-imidodiphosphate and ATP, did not stimulate phospholipase C activity, indicating that specific guanine nucleotide-dependent regulation of phospholipase C activity was preserved in the solubilized state. Gpp(NH)p or GTP-gamma-S stimulation of phospholipase C activity was time-dependent and required Mg2+.Mg2+ regulated the time course for activation of phospholipase C by guanine nucleotides and the ability of guanine nucleotides to promote an increase in the Ca2+ sensitivity of phospholipase C. 200 microM GDP-beta-S or 5 mM EDTA rapidly reversed the activation due to GTP-gamma-S or Gpp(NH)p. These findings demonstrate that G protein regulation of phospholipase C activity in a bovine brain membrane- solubilized system occurs through a Mg2+ and time-dependent mechanism. Activation is readily reversible upon addition of excess GDP-beta-S or removal of Mg2+.

Phospholipase C (specific for inositol lipids) is known to be present both in membranes and cytosol. Receptor-mediated activation of this enzyme occurs via a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (G-protein), designated Gp. We have compared the stimulation of this enzyme by fMet-Leu-Phe via the G-protein in HL60 membranes and in permeabilised cells. fMet-Leu-Phe stimulated phospholipase C in membranes at 2 min and the response was dependent on exogenously added GTP. GTP alone also stimulated phospholipase C activity such that at 10 min the response to fMet-Leu-Phe was minimal. In comparison, the response to fMet-Leu-Phe in permeabilised cells was greater in extent but did not require added GTP. However, it was antagonized by GDP analogues (GDP[beta S] greater than GDP greater than dGDP) and by pertussis toxin pretreatment, indicating that fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated phospholipase C activity was also mediated via Gp. GTP and its analogue GTP[gamma S] also stimulated phospholipase C and their effects were strictly additive to the stimulation obtained with fMet-Leu-Phe. Such additivity was also observed when two receptor-directed agonists, fMet-Leu-Phe and ATP, were used to stimulate intact cells. It is concluded that (a) the size of the response with fMet-Leu-Phe in membranes is limited by the loss of a component, possibly phospholipase C, and (b) stoichiometry and physical organisation of multiple species of G-proteins and/or phospholipases C may explain the independent nature of phospholipase C activation by fMet-Leu-Phe, ATP and guanine nucleotides.

Recent studies using agonist analogues of ATP and other nucleotides have generated some surprising observations which may have ramifications for the classification of P2 receptors, particularly for those responses currently attributed to P2Y receptor activation. 2-MethylthioATP (2-MeSATP), the conventional P2Y receptor agonist, does not interact with ATP in the expected fashion in various models of endothelial function, suggesting that it acts by a different mechanism. Furthermore, in certain cell types where responses to ATP are mediated by phospholipase C activation, 2-MeSATP has little or no activity. Interestingly, the pyrimidine uridine triphosphate (UTP) invariably shows similar potency to ATP in systems where 2-MeSATP is inactive. In this article Steve O'Connor and colleagues discuss these data and their significance, and propose that separate receptors may be responsible: one sensitive to 2-MeSATP and the other, a 'nucleotide' receptor, sensitive to UTP.

ATP and ADP, in concentrations ranging from 1-100 microM, increased the release of [3H]choline and [3H]phosphorylcholine (P-choline) from bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) prelabelled with [3H]choline. This action was detectable within 5 minutes and was maintained for at least 40 minutes. ATP and ADP were equiactive, and their action was mimicked by their phosphorothioate analogs (ATP gamma S and ADP beta S) and adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma imido) triphosphate (APPNP), but not by AMP, adenosine, and adenosine 5'-(alpha, beta methylene)triphosphate (APCPP): these results are consistent with the involvement of P2Y receptors. ATP also induced an intracellular accumulation of [3H]choline: the intracellular level of [3H]choline was increased 30 seconds after ATP addition and remained elevated for a least 20 minutes. The action of ATP on the release of choline metabolites was reproduced by bradykinin (1 microM), the tumor promoter phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 50 nM), and the calcium ionophore A23187 (0.5 microM). Down-regulation of protein kinase C, following a 24-hour exposure of endothelial cells to PMA, abolished the effects of PMA and ATP on the release of choline and P-choline, whereas the response to A23187 was maintained. These results suggest that in aortic endothelial cells, ATP produces a sustained activation of a phospholipase D hydrolyzing phosphatidylcholine. The resulting accumulation of phosphatidic acid might have an important role in the modulation of endothelial cell function by adenine nucleotides. Stimulation of phospholipase D appears to involve protein kinase C, activated following the release of diacylglycerol from phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate by a phospholipase C coupled to the P2Y receptors (Pirotton et al., 1987a).
