The potential for cross-talk between the adenyl cyclase and phosphoinositide (PPI) lipid second messenger system was investigated in astrocytes cultured from neonatal rat brain. Glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover, measured by the formation of total inositol phosphates from myo-[3H]inositol-labeled lipids, was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by the elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP levels produced either by stimulation of the isoproterenol receptor linked to adenyl cyclase or by its direct activation by forskolin. N6,2'-O-Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, an analogue that can also activate cyclic AMP-dependent kinase, inhibited glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover in a concentration-dependent manner as well, a result suggesting that cyclic AMP-dependent kinase is involved in mediating the inhibition. Inclusion of an inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent kinase, 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2 methylpiperazine dihydrochloride or N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide hydrochloride, blocked the cyclic AMP-mediated inhibition in a concentration-dependent manner, a finding further supporting this hypothesis. The site of inhibition of the phosphoinositol lipid pathway by cyclic AMP was probed using a digitonin-permeabilized cell system. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), a nonhydrolyzable analogue of GTP, stimulated PPI turnover and potentiated glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover, and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiodiphosphate) inhibited glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover in these cells, results providing evidence that glutamate receptors are coupled to phospholipase C by a guanine nucleotide binding protein in astrocytes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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).

Rat hepatocytes were maintained in primary monolayer culture for 24 h in the presence of serum. Treatment of hepatocytes with 1 microM 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA) for 5-15 min increased membrane-associated protein kinase C activity and concomitantly decreased soluble activity. Membrane protein kinase C activity returned to basal values within 1 h then decreased by more than 50% within 2 h. Prolonged (2-18 h) incubation with PMA did not further decrease protein kinase C activity. Pretreatment of hepatocytes with PMA for 5-15 min had little effect on the subsequent actions of 100 nM vasopressin but abolished the stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation by 3 nM vasopressin and 20 microM norepinephrine. Long-term exposure (2-18 h) of hepatocytes to 1 microM PMA actually enhanced the effects of vasopressin and 20 microM norepinephrine. The stimulation by norepinephrine (20 microM) of inositol phosphate accumulation was abolished by the alpha 1-adrenergic antagonist prazosin (1 microM), whereas the beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol (30 microM) had little effect. Addition of 8Br-cAMP (100 microM) or glucagon (10 nM) for 5 min or 8 h had no significant effect alone, but enhanced the subsequent vasopressin stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation. There was no effect of 8Br-cAMP or glucagon on norepinephrine stimulation of phosphoinositide breakdown. These data indicate that the stimulation of phospholipase C activity in rat hepatocytes by 3 nM vasopressin is enhanced by cyclic AMP-dependent kinase but inhibited by protein kinase C. In contrast, down regulation of protein kinase C markedly enhanced the maximal phosphoinositide response due to both vasopressin and norepinephrine.

Aggregation of human platelets induced by a variety of agonists was inhibited by 1-[6-[[17 beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl] amino]hexyl]-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dionel (U-73122) (IC50 values 1-5 microM), but not by the close analog 1-[6-[[17 beta-3-methoxyestra- 1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]hexyl]-2,5-pyrrolidine-dione (U-73343) in which pyrrolidinedione was substituted for pyrroledione. Inhibition by U-73122 was not mediated by an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP. In contrast, the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and the subsequent rapid increase in cytosolic Ca++ induced by either thrombin or the thromboxane-mimetic, (5Z,9 alpha, 11 alpha, 13E, 15S) 15-hydroxy-11,9-(epoxymethano)prosta- 5,13,-dien-1-oic acid (U-46619), was inhibited by U-73122 but not by U-73343. Reduction of IP3 levels appeared to reflect an inhibition of IP3 production because the hydrolysis of phosphatidyl[3H]inositol and phosphatidyl[3H]inositol 4,5-bisphosphate catalyzed by a soluble fraction from platelets was inhibited by U-73122 (Ki = 9 and 40 microM, respectively). In addition, U-73122 inhibited thromboxane B2 production induced by collagen but not that supported by exogenously added arachidonic acid, suggesting that U-73122 also inhibited receptor-coupled mobilization of arachidonic acid. After preincubation of platelets with [3H]arachidonic acid, the loss of [3H]phosphatidylinositol and accumulation of [3H]phosphatidic acid induced by thrombin was attenuated by U-73122. U-73122 did not inhibit the activities of phospholipases A2 purified either from porcine pancreas or from the venoms of Crotalus adamanteus and Naja naja. Although U-73122 inhibited neither the conversion of exogenous arachidonic acid to thromboxane B2 nor the binding of the thromboxane receptor antagonist [1S-[1 alpha, 2 beta (5Z), 3 beta, 4 alpha]]-7-[3-[[2- [2-[(phenylamino)-carbonyl]- hydrazino]methyl]-7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1]-hept-2-yl-5-heptenoic acid to platelet membranes, it was an effective inhibitor of arachidonic acid-induced aggregation of platelets. These data are consistent with the observed inhibition by U-73122 of platelet activation by the thromboxane receptor agonist, U-46619, via a mechanism that involves inhibition of a phospholipase C-dependent component(s) of signal transduction. U-73122, but not U-73343, inhibited also N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-induced aggregation of human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and the associated production of IP3 and diacyglycerol. Diradylglycerol produced in PMN stimulated with N-formyl- methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine was 74 +/- 7% saponifiable and inhibited by U-73122 (Ki = 2 microM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The photoreceptor cells of invertebrate animals differ from those of vertebrates in morphology and physiology. Our present knowledge of the different structures and transduction mechanisms of the two animal groups is described. In invertebrates, rhodopsin is converted by light into a meta-rhodopsin which is thermally stable and is usually re-isomerized by light. In contrast, photoisomerization in vertebrates leads to dissociation of the chromophore from opsin, and a metabolic process is necessary to regenerate rhodopsin. The electrical signals of visual excitation have opposite character in vertebrates and invertebrates: the vertebrate photoreceptor cell is hyperpolarized because of a decrease in conductance and invertebrate photoreceptors are depolarized owing to an increase in conductance. Single-photon-evoked excitatory events, which are believed to be a result of concerted action (the opening in invertebrates and the closing in vertebrates) of many light-modulated cation channels, are very different in terms of size and time course of photoreceptors for invertebrates and vertebrates. In invertebrates, the single-photon events (bumps) produced under identical conditions vary greatly in delay (latency), time course and size. The multiphoton response to brighter stimuli is several times as long as a response evoked by a single photon. The single-photon response of vertebrates has a standard size, a standard latency and a standard time course, all three parameters showing relatively small variations. Responses to flashes containing several photons have a shape and time scale that are similar to the single-photon-evoked events, varying only by an amplitude scaling factor, but not in latency and time course. In both vertebrate and invertebrate photoreceptors the single-photon-evoked events become smaller (in size) and faster owing to light adaptation. Calcium is mainly involved in these adaptation phenomena. All light adaptation in vertebrates is primarily, or perhaps exclusively, attributable to calcium feedback. In invertebrates, cyclic AMP (cAMP) is apparently another controller of sensitivity in dark adaptation. The interaction of photoexcited rhodopsin with a G-protein is similar in both vertebrate and invertebrate photoreceptors. However, these G-proteins activate different photoreceptor enzymes (phosphodiesterases): phospholipase C in invertebrates and cGMP phosphodiesterase in vertebrates. In the photoreceptors of vertebrates light leads to a rapid hydrolysis of cGMP which results in closing of cation channels. At present, the identity of the internal terminal messenger in invertebrate photoreceptors is still unsolved.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Mastoparan inhibited [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation induced by carbachol as well as cyclic AMP accumulation induced by isoproterenol in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Mastoparan inhibited GTP gamma S-induced, but not Ca2(+)-induced, [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation in membrane preparations with an IC50 of approximately 10 microM. The inhibitory effect of mastoparan on carbachol-induced [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation was resistant to pertussis toxin (IAP) treatment in intact cells. These results suggest that mastoparan inhibits phospholipase C in human astrocytoma cells via a GTP binding protein, which is not a substrate for IAP.

Activation of phospholipase C by angiotensin II in vascular smooth muscle has been postulated to be mediated by an unidentified GTP-binding protein (G-protein). Using a permeabilized preparation of myo-[3H]inositol-labelled cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, we examined the ability of a non-hydrolysable analogue of GTP, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), to stimulate inositol phosphate formation. GTP[S] (5 min exposure) stimulated inositol polyphosphate release by up to 3.8-fold in a dose-dependent manner, with an EC50 (concn. producing half-maximal stimulation) of approx. 50 microM. Inositol bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) accumulations were also stimulated by NaF (5-20 mM). Furthermore, angiotensin II-induced inositol phosphate formation could be potentiated by a submaximal concentration of GTP[S] (10 microM), and this treatment appeared to interfere with the normal termination mechanism of the initial hormonal signal. The G-protein mediating angiotensin II-stimulated phospholipase C activation was insensitive to pertussis toxin at an exposure time and concentration which were sufficient to completely ADP-ribosylate all available substrate (100 ng/ml, 16 h). In contrast, a similar incubation with cholera toxin markedly inhibited angiotensin II-stimulated IP2 and IP3 release by 67 +/- 6% and 62 +/- 6% respectively. Cholera toxin appeared to inhibit angiotensin II stimulation of phospholipase C by a dual mechanism: it caused a 45% decrease in angiotensin II receptor number, and also inhibited G-protein transduction as assessed by GTP[S]-stimulated IP2 formation. This latter inhibition may be secondary to an increase in cyclic AMP, since it could be simulated by addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Thus angiotensin II-stimulated inositol phosphate formation is cholera-toxin-sensitive, and is mediated by a pertussis-toxin-insensitive G-protein, which may be involved directly in termination of early signal generation.

We have previously suggested that the interaction between luteinizing hormone (LH) and its receptor, in addition to stimulating adenylate cyclase, is able to trigger a negative regulatory signal at a step beyond cAMP synthesis (Benhaim et al. (1987) FEBS Lett. 223, 321-326). The present study was conducted to determine whether the phospholipase C system is involved in this phenomenon. Small bovine luteal cells from pregnant cows were incubated with phospholipase C, A23187, an ionophore of calcium and/or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), in the presence or absence of bovine luteinizing hormone or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP). A23187 associated with PMA was able to mimic the stimulatory effect of phospholipase C on basal progesterone production, whereas neither A23187 nor PMA alone had any effect. In the presence of high doses of LH, phospholipase C inhibited progesterone and cAMP production in a dose-dependent manner. A23187 and PMA were able to mimic the inhibition of progesterone synthesis but stimulated LH-induced cAMP accumulation. When cells were stimulated by high doses of dbcAMP, phospholipase C and A23187 but not PMA inhibited progesterone synthesis. These observations suggest that (1) phospholipase C can mimic the post-cAMP negative regulatory signal induced in vitro by high doses of LH, in the presence of an activation of PKC; (2) phospholipase C is also able to mimic in vitro the luteolytic properties of prostaglandin F2 alpha that we previously described (Benhaim et al. (1987) Prostaglandins 33, 227-239); and (3) under basal conditions or in the presence of low doses of LH, the phospholipase C system slightly stimulates steroidogenesis.

The marine toxin maitotoxin (MTX) and the chemotactic peptide fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP) induce the formation of inositol phosphates in HL-60 cells differentiated with dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The increase in [3H]inositol(1,4,5)-trisphosphate is rapid but transient after fMLP stimulation, whereas MTX-induced increase in [3H]inositol(1,4,5)-trisphosphate occurs at a slower rate and is sustained over time. In both cases increases in [Ca++]i, measured with fura-2, parallel the formation of inositol trisphosphate. MTX-mediated stimulation of inositol phosphate formation is inhibited in the absence of calcium, whereas the response to fMLP is not. The calcium ionophore ionomycin stimulates the formation of inositol phosphates in differentiated HL-60 cells. The magnitude of the response is smaller than that obtained with MTX. Ionomycin also induces a rapid but sustained increase of [Ca++]i. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, neither fMLP nor ionomycin induce significant inositol phosphate formation, and the increase in [Ca++]i elicited by ionomycin is transient. In contrast, the effects of MTX on phosphoinositide breakdown and on [Ca++]i in undifferentiated cells are nearly identical to those elicited by MTX in differentiated cells. In the presence of the intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA, fMLP, ionomycin and MTX still stimulate the generation of inositol phosphates. Guanyl nucleotides and calcium stimulate phospholipase C activity in membrane preparations from differentiated HL-60 cells. fMLP stimulates the enzyme only in the presence of GTP. MTX has no effect on membrane phospholipase C activity.

Homologous desensitization of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) was studied using primary cultures of corticostriatal neurons from neonatal rats. Prolonged incubation with carbachol attenuated phospholipase C responsiveness to muscarinic agonists and decreased the number of cell surface mAChR, as measured by binding of N-[3H] methylscopolamine to neuronal monolayers. When neurons were exposed to carbachol for 15 min, 40% of the mAChR lost from the membrane domain was recovered in the cytosol; a decrease of the total neuronal receptors was detected following an incubation with the agonist lasting longer than 15 min. Both 8-Br-cyclic AMP and forskolin neither affected N-[3H]methylscopolamine binding to cell monolayers or did they prevent the agonist-mediated mAChR desensitization. 8-Br-cyclic GMP also failed to decrease mAChR number. Pertussis toxin failed to prevent the homologous desensitization of mAChR under conditions that blocked the agonist-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation. The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-12, 13-acetate induced a concentration-dependent decrease of N-[3H]methylscopolamine binding to neuronal monolayers. However, the protein kinase C inhibitors sphingosine and the ganglioside monosialosyl-gangliotetraglicosylceramide inhibited the 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-12,13-acetate-induced but not the agonist-induced desensitization of mAChRs. Furthermore, incubation with muscarinic agonists failed to translocate protein kinase C from cytosol to plasma membranes, as measured by binding of the phorbol ester [3H]-4-beta-phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate to neuronal monolayers. In corticostriatal neurons the agonist-induced desensitization and internalization of mAChR involves neither protein kinase C and protein kinase A activation nor changes in cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP content.
