The mechanisms whereby adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) regulates the inositol phospholipid-signalling system were studied in rat hepatocytes. Intact hepatocytes respond to extracellular ATP, adenosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S), ADP and weakly to guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP), but not to other purine nucleotides (GDP or AMP). This is consistent with the idea that a P2 purinergic receptor is coupled to the phosphatidylinositol metabolism in these cells. Partially purified plasma membranes prepared from myo-[3H]inositol prelabelled hepatocytes exhibit a phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity sensitive to ATP, ATP gamma S and guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S). Moreover the GTP gamma S effect is greatly enhanced by ATP and ATP gamma S. These potentiating effects differ according to the adenylnucleotide considered. ATP produces (1) an increase in the GTP gamma S-PLC sensitivity, (2) a potentiation of the phospholipase C (PLC) response induced by maximal dose of GTP gamma S, and (3) an increase in the inositol lipids pools. At variance, ATP gamma S, a nonhydrolysable analogue of ATP, only increases the PLC-sensitivity towards GTP gamma S. These results may signify that ATP stimulates inositol phosphate accumulation via at least two distinct mechanisms (i) a direct activation of a P2 purinergic receptor coupled to a PLC via a GTP binding protein and (ii) a stimulation of the phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) kinases which increased the pool of phospholipase C substrates.

The effects of thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb) and of thyrotropin (TSH) were compared, on the generation of cyclic AMP and inositol phosphates (InsP), in human thyroid slices incubated in vitro, and on the Rapoport cyclic AMP bioassay. The TSAb positive sera were obtained from 19 patients with Graves' disease. In 14 experiments with the slices system, TSH significantly increased cyclic AMP accumulation (TSH, 0.03-10 mU/ml) as well as the cyclic AMP-independent inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) generation (TSH, 1-10 mU/ml). In the same 14 experiments, TSAb (0.10-28 mg/ml) enhanced cyclic AMP intracellular levels as expected while they did not induce any InsP accumulation. Even when TSAb increased cyclic AMP levels to the same or higher values as those obtained with TSH concentrations allowing InsP3 generation. TSAb were still unable to activate the phosphatidylinositol-Ca2+ cascade. The patterns of the response curves of TSAb and TSH on cyclic AMP accumulation were different, suggesting that different mechanisms may be involved. In addition, unlike TSH, TSAb were not able to stimulate H2O2 generation, which in human tissue mainly depends on the activation of the phosphatidylinositol-Ca2+ cascade. Immunoglobulins from six additional Graves' patients lacking measurable cyclic AMP-stimulating activity in both slices and cells systems did not activate phospholipase C either. In conclusion, our results show that TSAb do not share all the metabolic actions of TSH on human thyroid tissue. The data provide support for the concept that the pathogenesis of Graves' disease can be fully accounted for by the ability of TSAb to stimulate adenylate cyclase. This work also confirms that TSH activates the cyclic AMP and the phosphatidylinositol cascade by independent pathways in the human thyroid.

We have previously shown that bradykinin-induced production of second messengers such as inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol in neurotumor cells is inhibited by raising cellular cyclic AMP levels, which in turn inhibit phospholipase C. A monoclonal antibody to phospholipase C-II immunoprecipitated the 140-kDa form of phospholipase C-II from [35S]methionine/[3H]eucine-labeled cells, but not [32P]orthophosphate-labeled phospholipase C-II, following treatment with either forskolin or dibutyryl cyclic AMP. This suggested that phospholipase C is not the target for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase-mediated phosphorylation. In vitro studies confirmed that phospholipase C activity was inhibited by raising cellular cAMP levels, and partial sensitivity to Bordetella pertussis toxin suggested the involvement of a GTP-binding protein which could be the target for protein kinase A. The involvement of a GTP-binding protein in coupling the bradykinin receptor to phospholipase C was further suggested by the ability of both guanosine 5'-O-(thio-triphosphate) and fluoride (NaF) to release inositol phosphates from NCB-20 cell membranes previously labeled with [3H]inositol. Both effects were blocked by pretreatment of the cells with protein kinase A activators, further suggesting a GTP-binding protein as the target for protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation. When whole NCB-20 cell extracts were blotted onto nitrocellulose and incubated with [alpha- 32P]GTP, a major 24-kDa band plus minor bands at 22 and 20 kDa were revealed by autoradiography. A pH 3.0/6.0 soluble (basic protein) NCB-20 cell extract revealed the major 24-kDa band plus the 20-kDa band, and similar basic proteins were shown to be heavily phosphorylated following [32P]orthophosphate labeling and pretreatment with forskolin. The size and ability to bind GTP on Western blots are characteristic of the ras, rho, smg, etc. family of GTP-binding proteins recently suggested to be the much sought after GPLC (Lapetina, E.G., Lacal, J. C., Reep, B. R., and Molina y Vedia, L. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 3131-3134; Wang, P., Nishihata, J., Takabori, E., Yamamoto, K., Toyoshima, S., and Osawa, T. (1989) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 105, 461-466; Nagata, K.-I., Nagao, S., and Nozawa, Y. (1989) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 160, 235-242). We propose that GPLC is uniquely sensitive to protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation and that phosphorylation inhibits stimulus-secretion coupling in these cells.

Treatment of intact human umbilical vein endothelial cells with NaF results in a dose-dependent biphasic response in both prostacyclin and inositol phosphate production: the stimulation observed with 10-20 mM NaF decreases with higher concentrations. High concentrations of NaF furthermore reduce thrombin- or A23187-stimulated prostacyclin production. Direct assay of phospholipase C activity in cell homogenates shows a similar biphasic response to NaF, also after chelation of Ca2+; addition of AlCl3 shifts the inhibition toward lower NaF concentrations. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) also causes a dose-dependent biphasic response in inositol phosphate formation in permeabilized cells and homogenates; a higher inhibitory concentration of GTP gamma S abolishes the stimulation of inositol phosphate production by low NaF concentrations. A high concentration of NaF furthermore inhibits the non-G-protein-dependent activation of phospholipase C by deoxycholate. NaF also induces a dose-dependent biphasic response in cyclic AMP formation in intact cells, indicating that the inhibition of phospholipase C at higher NaF concentrations does not result from a rise in cyclic AMP. The data are compatible with the existence of a guanine nucleotide-dependent, cyclic AMP-independent, phospholipase C-inhibitory pathway in endothelial cells.

Acid secretion from isolated rabbit gastric parietal cells can be stimulated by gastric secretagogues, histamine (cyclic-AMP pathway) and carbachol (inositol phosphate pathway). Prostaglandins (PG) from E series are potent inhibitors of acid secretion. The intracellular mechanism of this inhibition was examined by using a stable PGE1-analogue, misoprostol. Aminopyrine (AP) accumulations due to histamine, IBMX and forskolin were dose-dependently inhibited by misoprostol, whereas a weak but significant biphasic effect on carbachol-induced AP accumulation was observed. The cyclic-AMP formation induced by histamine and IBMX were also inhibited by misoprostol in a non-competitive way. The potent effect of forskolin on cyclic-AMP levels was not modified by misoprostol in parietal cells, whereas it was potentiated in non-parietal cells. The inhibitory effect of misoprostol on AP accumulation was reduced by incubation of parietal cells with Bordetella pertussis toxin (IAP) but not with Cholera toxin (CT). Pretreatment of the cells with IAP did not alter cyclic-AMP levels of resting and histamine-stimulated parietal cells but abolished the inhibitory effect of misoprostol. Treatment with CT increased basal and histamine-stimulated cyclic-AMP levels and masked the inhibitory effect of misoprostol. The biphasic effect of misoprostol on carbachol-stimulated AP accumulation in parietal cells was confirmed on carbachol-stimulated phospholipase C activity and on [Ca2+]i stimulated by carbachol. These data confirm a direct and specific effect of the prostanoid on the Gi-subunit of the adenylate cyclase coupled to the histamine H2-receptor, and a biphasic effect on the phospholipase C pathway of the parietal cells.

Stimulation of phagocytic cells with micromolar concentrations of extracellular ATP primes the production of toxic oxygen metabolites in response to chemoattractants and independently activates a secretory response in vitro. It is hypothesized that extracellular ATP derived from platelet storage granules and damaged endothelium at sites of localized tissue damage or infection may potentiate the pro-inflammatory effects of phagocytic cells in vivo. ATP-dependent functional responses in the phagocyte appear to be due to stimulation of putative P2 purinoreceptors that are coupled to the activation of a phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein. The existence in nature of at least four subtypes of P2 purinoreceptors has been proposed based on the rank order of potency of nucleotide analogs of ATP studied in a variety of cell types. However, no studies involving the structural identification and characterization of the putative receptors have been reported. We have used the Xenopus oocyte expression system to demonstrate acquired adenosine 5'-(thio) triphosphate (ATP gamma S) responsiveness in oocytes injected with mRNA from the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 by measuring the accelerated efflux of intracellular calcium. Two peaks of ATP gamma S responsiveness (Peak I and Peak II) were detected in sucrose gradient fractionated RNA that corresponded to transcript sizes of 4 and 6 kilobases and that were distinct from a third peak previously shown to be enriched in formyl peptide chemoattractant receptor activity. Peak I and Peak II RNA endowed receptor activity in the oocyte that was pharmacologically indistinguishable: ADP and AMP were inactive whereas UTP and ITP exhibited activity that was similar in potency to that of ATP gamma S. Both Peak I and Peak II ATP gamma S-dependent activity was inhibited by pertussis toxin. These data strongly support the concept of phagocytic cell receptors for extracellular nucleotide triphosphates whose ligand specificity is distinct from all other previously described P2 purinoreceptor subtypes, with the exception of the P2 receptor described in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, by virtue of the ineffectiveness of ADP as a stimulus. These receptors are most likely composed of a single polypeptide chain that can be expressed in the Xenopus oocyte in a functional form regulated by a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein.

An investigation was done to elucidate the regulatory role of protein kinase C (PKC) in insulin release and also the effects of PKC activation on NaF-induced inositol phospholipid (PI) turnover in and insulin release from rat insulinoma cells (RINr). NaF stimulated insulin secretion in association with an increase in [3H]inositol phosphate formation in RINr cells. Furthermore, NaF induced a rapid decrease in 32P-labeling of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate (PIP2) with a concomitant increase of [32P]phosphatidic acid in prelabeled cells. In contrast, NaF had no effect on cyclic AMP production. Although phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) also stimulated insulin release, on concomitant administration of NaF and PDBu, insulin secretion was clearly less than that expected on the basis of an additive action. Moreover, PDBu significantly inhibited NaF-enhanced PI turnover. However, this inhibition was abolished after downregulating PKC by pretreating RINr cells with PDBu. Thus NaF-induced insulin release from RINr cells appears to involve enhancement of PI turnover. Moreover, because NaF is known to activate guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins) directly, PKC activation appears to induce a mechanism that inhibits stimulus-secretion coupling at a level between G protein and phospholipase C-induced PIP2 hydrolysis.

Human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells phosphorylate [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate; they also contain all the enzymes to sequentially dephosphorylate [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and [3H]inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate to inositol. alpha-Thrombin, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and sodium fluoride caused the formation of [3H]inositol phosphates in HEL cells that were previously labeled with [3H]inositol. This indicates agonist-induced activation of phospholipase C and hydrolysis of the inositol phospholipids. Pretreatment of the HEL cells with iloprost, a prostacyclin analog that increases cellular cyclic AMP levels, dramatically reduced the formation of inositol phosphates and the increase of [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The inhibitory effects of iloprost were associated with the phosphorylation of a 24-kDa protein, which was detected with an antiserum obtained against the rap 1 protein. The catalytic subunit of protein kinase A inhibited formation of polyphosphoinositides during phosphorylation of the rap 1 protein in membranes. This rap 1 protein might have functional relevance in the inhibition of agonist-induced inositide metabolism.

Sheep anterior-pituitary cells permeabilized with Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin were used to investigate the role of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in exocytosis of luteinizing hormone (lutropin, LH) under conditions where the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]free) is clamped by Ca2+ buffers. At resting [Ca2+]free (pCa 7), cAMP rapidly stimulated LH exocytosis (within 5 min) and continued to stimulate exocytosis for at least 30 min. When cAMP breakdown was inhibited by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), the concentration giving half-maximal response (EC50) for cAMP-stimulated exocytosis was 10 microM. cAMP-stimulated exocytosis required millimolar concentrations of MgATP, as has been found with Ca2(+)- and phorbol-ester-stimulated LH exocytosis. cAMP caused a modest enhancement of Ca2(+)-stimulated LH exocytosis by decreasing in the EC50 for Ca2+ from pCa 5.6 to pCa 5.9, but had little effect on the maximal LH response to Ca2+. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) dramatically enhanced cAMP-stimulated LH exocytosis by both increasing the maximal effect 5-7-fold and decreasing the EC50 for cAMP to 3 microM. This synergism between cAMP and PMA was further augmented by increasing the [Ca2+]free. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gonadoliberin, GnRH) stimulated cAMP production in intact pituitary cells. Since GnRH stimulation is reported to activate PKC and increase the intracellular [Ca2+]free, our results suggest that a synergistic interaction of the cAMP, PKC and Ca2+ second-messenger systems is of importance in the mechanism of GnRH-stimulated LH exocytosis.

Previous studies have demonstrated enhanced phosphorylation of phospholipase C-tau (PLC-tau), a key regulatory enzyme in phosphoinositide metabolism, in cells treated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and epidermal growth factor, both of which act via specific receptor tyrosine kinases. Our studies on BALB/c-3T3 cells show that agents that promote cellular cyclic AMP accumulation also increase the phosphorylation, specifically the serine phosphorylation, of this enzyme. Increased phosphorylation of PLC-t (2-3-fold) was evident within 5-10 min of addition of isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) and either cholera toxin or forskolin to cells, and persisted for at least 3 h. Treatment of cells with cyclic AMP agonists also enhanced, with similar kinetics, the phosphorylation of a 76 kDa protein co-precipitated by anti-PLC-tau monoclonal antibodies. Brief exposure of cells to cholera toxin/IBMX or forskolin/IBMX decreased inositol phosphate formation induced by the GTP-binding protein (G-protein) activator aluminium fluoride by approx. 50%, but was without effect on PDGF-stimulated inositol phosphate formation. These findings suggest that PLC-tau, and perhaps the 76 kDa co-precipitated protein, are substrates of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in BALB/c-3T3 cells: however, the lack of effect of cyclic AMP elevation on PDGF-stimulated inositol phosphate formation indicates that the intrinsic activity of PLC-tau is unaltered by cyclic AMP-mediated phosphorylation.
