The effects of the expression of the protein tyrosine kinase pp60v-src on endothelin- and thrombin-stimulated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) production and calcium responses were investigated in Rat-1 fibroblasts. The ability of endothelin-1 to induce the accumulation of these second messengers was dramatically amplified by v-src transformation, with 6- and 3-fold enhancements of the peak Ins(1,4,5)P3 and peak calcium responses, respectively. In contrast, thrombin-dependent responses were slightly reduced following v-src transformation, demonstrating that the augmentation of endothelin-stimulated signal transduction is a selective effect. The magnitude of the stimulated accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 presumably depends upon both the functional activation of phospholipase C to produce Ins(1,4,5)P3, and the activity of the enzymes that metabolize Ins(1,4,5)P3. Although the metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was strikingly altered by expression of pp60v-src, with a bias towards the production of higher inositol polyphosphates that is consistent with an activated Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase, this change could not account for the marked increase in endothelin-stimulated signaling induced by v-src transformation. This suggests that an effect of pp60v-src is expressed at the level of the plasma membrane, through an interaction with one or more components in the receptor/guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein)/phospholipase C system that transduces the endothelin signal into Ins(1,4,5)P3 production. Preparation of membranes from normal and v-src-transformed cells showed that, while there was no change in the number of high-affinity endothelin binding sites, the release of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in response to guanine nucleotides and endothelin-1 was significantly increased following v-src transformation. In contrast, the Ins(1,4,5)P3 responses to thrombin and high Ca2+ concentrations were unaffected by transformation. Thus the selective interactions within the G protein system that couples the endothelin receptor to phospholipase C are potential sites at which the v-src transformation process may act to amplify endothelin-dependent Ins(1,4,5)P3 production.

Studies of phosphatidylinositol signaling pathways are entering a new phase in which molecular genetic techniques are providing powerful tools to dissect the functions of various metabolites and pathways. Studies with phospholipase C are most advanced and clearly indicate that phosphatidylinositol turnover is critical for vision in Drosophila and cell proliferation in various cultured cells. Expression of cDNA constructs and microinjection of PLC or antibodies against it clearly establish a role for PtdIns signaling distinct from its role in calcium mobilization and protein kinase C activation. The importance of inositol cyclic phosphates is also beginning to be realized from the study of cyclic hydrolase using similar techniques. Elucidation of the function of the 3-phosphate inositol phospholipid pathway awaits similar studies. The recent cDNA cloning of inositol monophosphatase (Diehl et al., 1990), Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase (Choi et al., 1990), and inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase (York and Majerus, 1991) should provide tools to define further the cell biology of the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway.

The action of carbamoylcholine (Cchol), NaF and other agonists on the generation of inositol phosphates (IPs) was studied in dog thyroid slices prelabelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol. The stimulation by Cchol (0.1 microM-0.1 mM) of IPs accumulation through activation of a muscarinic receptor [Graff, Mockel, Laurent, Erneux & Dumont (1987) FEBS Lett. 210, 204-210] was pertussis- and cholera-toxin insensitive. Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and InsP4 were generated. NaF (5-20 mM) also increased IPs generation (Graff et al., 1987); this effect was potentiated by AlCl3 (10 microM) and unaffected by pertussis toxin. Although phorbol dibutyrate (5 microM) abolished the cholinergic stimulation of IPs generation (Graff et al., 1987), it did not affect the fluoride-induced response. Cchol and NaF did not require extracellular Ca2+ to exert their effect, and neither KCl-induced membrane depolarization nor ionophore A23187 (10 microM) had any influence on basal IPs levels, or on cholinergic stimulation. However, more stringent Ca2+ depletion with EGTA (0.1 or 1 mM) decreased basal IPs levels as well as the amplitude of the stimulation by Cchol without abolishing it. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, forskolin, cholera toxin and prostaglandin E1 had no effect on basal IPs levels and did not decrease the response to Cchol. Iodide (4 or 40 microM) also strongly decreased the cholinergic action on IPs, this inhibition being relieved by methimazole (1 mM). Our data suggest that Cchol activates a phospholipase C hydrolysing PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the dog thyroid cell in a cyclic AMP-independent manner. This activation requires no extracellular Ca2+ and depends on a GTP-binding protein insensitive to both cholera toxin and requires no extracellular Ca2+ and depends on a GTP-binding protein insensitive to both cholera toxin and pertussis toxin. The data are consistent with a rapid metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,3,4)P3 via the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase pathway, followed by dephosphorylation by a 5-phosphomonoesterase. Indeed, a Ca2+-sensitive InsP3 3-kinase activity was demonstrated in tissue homogenate. Stimulation of protein kinase C and an organified form of iodine inhibit the Cchol-induced IPs generation. The negative feedback of activated protein kinase C could be exerted at the level of the receptor or of the receptor-G-protein interaction.

We have examined regulation by protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme) of thrombin-induced inositol polyphosphate accumulation in human platelets. When platelets are exposed to thrombin for 10 s, the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine causes inositol phosphate elevations over control values of 2.7-fold (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3], 1.9-fold (inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4], and 1.2-fold (inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate). In the same period, phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol are unaffected. The myosin light chain kinase inhibitor ML-7 has no effect on inositol phosphate accumulations. Staurosporine does not inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and 5-phosphomonoesterase activities in saponin-permeabilized platelets incubated with exogenous Ins(1,4,5)P3 unless the platelets have been exposed to thrombin and protein kinase C is consequently activated. The protein kinase C agonist beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate increases the Vmax of the 3-kinase 1.8-fold, with little effect on Km. Our results provide strong evidence for a role for protein kinase C in regulating inositol phosphate levels in thrombin-activated platelets. We propose that endogenously activated protein kinase C removes Ins(1,4,5)P3 by stimulating both 5-phosphomonoesterase and Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Initial activation of phospholipase C does not appear to be affected by such protein kinase C. Inhibition of protein kinase C by staurosporine decreases 5-phosphomonoesterase activity. The resulting elevated Ins(1,4,5)P3, as substrate for Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase, promotes production of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, which also may accumulate through decreased 5-phosphomonoesterase activity and elevated Ca2+ levels. These factors apparently counteract the inhibitory effect on 3-kinase, yielding a net increase in Ins(1,3,4,5)P4.

Stimulation of human platelets by thrombin leads to rises of both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4)P3) within 10 s. The mass of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was measured in platelet extracts after conversion to [3-32P]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 with Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. Basal levels were equivalent to 0.2 microM and rose to 1 microM within 10 s of stimulation by thrombin. The mass of Ins(1,3,4)P3 was more than 10-fold greater than that of Ins(1,4,5)P3 between 10 and 60 s of thrombin stimulation. These results indicate that the majority of InsP3 liberated by phospholipase C in stimulated platelets must be the non-cyclic Ins(1,4,5)P3 in order to allow rapid phosphorylation by Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase to Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and then dephosphorylation to Ins(1,3,4)P3 by 5-phosphomonoesterase. A significant proportion of the InsP3 extracted from thrombin-stimulated platelets under neutral conditions is resistant to Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase but susceptible after acid treatment, implying the presence of inositol 1,2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,2cyc4,5)P3. The relative proportion of Ins(1,2cyc4,5)P3 increases with time. We suggest that such gradual accumulation is attributable to the relative insensitivity of this compound to hydrolytic and phosphorylating enzymes. Therefore, early Ca2+ mobilization in platelets is more likely to be effected by Ins(1,4,5)P3 than by Ins(1,2cyc4,5)P3.

We observed that more total inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) was formed when human platelets were stimulated with agonists (15-hydroxy-9,11-azo-prosta-5,13-dienoic acid or thrombin) in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ than in its absence. Analysis of the InsP3 by h.p.l.c. indicated that the increased InsP3 formed in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ was primarily the 1,3,4-trisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4)P3]. In addition, more inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4) was formed in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Experiments conducted with electrically permeabilized platelets demonstrated that conversion of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 to [3H]InsP4 in platelets was Ca2+-dependent, with half-maximal conversion observed at approx. 2.5 microM-Ca2+. By contrast, dephosphorylation of [3H]InsP4 to [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 was not activated by Ca2+. A partially purified preparation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase from human platelets was found to be insensitive to Ca2+, but addition of calmodulin restored Ca2+-sensitivity to the kinase, increasing its activity about 5-fold. These results show that in human platelets the metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 is regulated by Ca2+-calmodulin, and suggest that the metabolites of Ins(1,4,5)P3 may also have important second-messenger functions in platelets, and are consistent with the hypothesis that the activation of phospholipase C is not dependent on extracellular Ca2+.

Interactions between the different signaling roles of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol, the products of agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate breakdown, are assessed in isolated rat hepatocytes. Measurements of the kinetics of accumulation of individual [3H]inositol phosphates after the addition of different Ca2+-mobilizing agonists in general support the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate as the second messenger responsible for release of sequestered intracellular Ca2+. Various agonists, when added at maximal concentrations, however, produce qualitatively and quantitatively different responses, which reflect varying abilities of the agonists to activate phospholipase C. Qualitative differences are revealed by a pronounced biphasic pattern to the Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation after vasopressin and phenylephrine stimulation, which is indicative of negative feedback. It is suggested that this effect is mediated by a partial diacylglycerol activation of protein kinase C, which in vitro causes an activation of inositol phosphate 5-phosphatase and hence promotes removal of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,4)P2. An alternative mechanism proposed by Biden and Wollheim (1986) of a secondary Ca2+ activation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase is considered less likely as a general mechanism, since highly purified kinase prepared from rat brain shows only an inhibition by Ca2+. Glucagon, 8-Br-cAMP, and EGF induce small increases of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in hepatocytes, together with slower and smaller increases of cytosolic free Ca2+ than those produced by vasopressin or phenylephrine, with Ca2+ being mobilized from the same intracellular pools with each of the agonists. The Ca2+-mobilizing effect of glucagon, therefore, may be entirely due to a cAMP-dependent process, although a direct receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase C, as suggested by Wakelam et al. (1986), remains a possibility. The EGF receptor appears to be coupled to phospholipase C, presumably via a G-protein. It is speculated that the mechanism by which cAMP increases Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels in hepatocytes could either be by phosphorylation and inhibition of inositol phosphate 5-phosphatase or by phosphorylation and facilitation of the coupling between the G-protein and phospholipase C. When protein kinase C is maximally activated by pretreatment of hepatocytes with PMA, the stimulatory effects of phenylephrine, glucagon, 8-Br-cAMP, and EGF on the accumulation of inositol phosphates and increase of cytosolic free Ca2+ are largely inhibited.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Angiotensin II (AII) evokes a biphasic increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) levels in adrenal glomerulosa cells, with an extracellular Ca(2+)-independent early peak followed by a secondary sustained elevation that is highly dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+. The Ca(2+)-dependent sustained phase of agonist-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 production was closely correlated with Ca2+ influx and was inhibited by inorganic Ca2+ channel blockers with the potency ratio: La3+ >> Cd2+ > Mn2+ > Co2+ > Ni2+. Of the two Ca2+ surrogates, Sr2+ and Ba2+, Sr2+ was partially active compared with Ca2+, and Ba2+ was inactive in restoring Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation in cells stimulated with AII in Ca(2+)-free medium. However, unlike Ca2+, Sr2+ only weakly supported and Ba2+ failed to affect the calmodulin-activation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Also, there was an accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and diminished formation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and Ins(1,3,4)P3 when intact glomerulosa cells were stimulated by AII in the presence of Sr2+. This difference between the Sr2+ sensitivity of phospholipase C and Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase provides a means for the potentiation of agonist-induced elevations of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the intact cell and for direct analysis of the role of the inositol tris-/tetrakisphosphate pathway in cellular signaling.

A detailed analysis of the generation and subsequent metabolism of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] following muscarinic cholinoceptor stimulation in primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells has been undertaken. Following incubation of cerebellar granule cell cultures with [3H]inositol for 48 h, labelling of the inositol phospholipid pool approached equilibrium. Significant basal labelling of inositol pentakisphosphate (InsP5) and inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6), as well as inositol mono- to tetrakisphosphate, fractions was observed. Addition of carbachol (1 mM) caused an immediate increase in level of Ins(1,4,5)P3 (peak increase two-fold over basal by 60 s), which was well-maintained over the initial 300 s following agonist addition. In contrast, only a modest, more slowly developing, increase in inositol tetrakisphosphate accumulation was observed, whereas labelling of InsP5 and InsP6 was entirely unaffected by carbachol stimulation. Analysis of the products of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate metabolism in broken cell preparations strongly suggested that Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism occurs predominantly via the inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase route, with metabolism via the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase being a relatively minor pathway. In view of the pattern of inositol (poly)phosphate metabolites observed on stimulation of the muscarinic receptor, it seems likely that, over the time course studied, the inositol polyphosphates are derived principally from phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, although some hydrolysis of phosphatidyl-inositol 4-phosphate cannot be excluded.

Agonist-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis is the principal mechanism underlying pharmacomechanical coupling in airways smooth muscle. In bovine tracheal smooth muscle, activation of muscarinic cholinoceptors results in sustained phospholipase C-mediated PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis but transient Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation, which implies agonist-stimulated metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3. To investigate the metabolic fate of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in bovine tracheal smooth muscle, we developed a [3H]inositol-labeling protocol wherein more than 98% of the [3H]inositol polyphosphates that accumulated over a 0 to 30-min incubation with 100 microM carbachol in the presence of 5 mM LiCl were derived from [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 and wherein the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase (EC 2.7.1.127) and 5-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.56) pathways generated a set of mutually exclusive [3H]-inositol polyphosphate isomers. Under these conditions, the 5-phosphatase pathway was shown to be the dominant route for [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism at all time intervals measured, especially at early times (0-300 sec), where it accounted for more than 85% of [H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism. We also observed accumulation of a novel agonist and LiCl-sensitive [3H]InsP2 isomer identified as [3H]Ins(4,5)P2. The presence of a LiCI-sensitive inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.57) was demonstrated, and high LiCl concentrations (30 mM) caused a significant enhancement of [3H]Ins(1,4)P2 accumulation and a corresponding decline in [3H]Ins4P levels. Because nearly identical bell-shaped LiCl concentration-response curves were obtained for [H]Ins4P and [3H]Ins(4,5)P2 accumulation, and [3H]Ins(4,5)P2 was not generated under conditions expected to stimulate phospholipase D, these data suggest that the most likely precurser of [3H]Ins(4,5)P2 is [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3. This is the first demonstration of Ins(4,5)P2 accumulation in a non-neuronal cell type, and the foregoing data suggest a novel route of formation via an Ins(1,4,5)P3 1-phosphatase, which would represent an additional pathway for [H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 removal.
