In GH4C1 rat pituitary cells, a GTP-binding protein appears to be involved in signal transduction between the TRH receptor and phospholipase C. In certain other cell types, another role for GTP has been reported, namely regulation of Ca2+ translocation from one intracellular pool to another. Using digitonin-permeabilized GH4C1 cells, we have investigated whether an analogous process occurs in pituitary cells. In permeabilized GH4C1 cells, TRH, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), and nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) and 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate each increased free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]). Unlike several other systems, GTP did not increase [Ca2+]. Guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) inhibited Ca2+ release induced by both TRH and GTP gamma S. Heparin abolished IP3-induced Ca2+ release but did not prevent Ca2+ release induced by TRH or GTP gamma S, suggesting a mechanism for their actions that did not depend solely on IP3 production. Neomycin inhibited GTP gamma S-induced Ca2+ release, but it did not prevent TRH- or IP3-induced Ca2+ release. In the absence of ATP, GTP gamma S did not elevate [Ca2+], although TRH and IP3 did, suggesting that ATP-dependent sequestration of Ca2+ was necessary for the action of GTP gamma S in this system, but not for TRH and IP3. Repeated additions of IP3 resulted in an attenuation of the response to IP3- GTP gamma S, which itself increased [Ca2+] after IP3 attenuation, restored the attenuated Ca2+ response to IP3. We conclude that, in permeabilized GH4C1 cells, GTP gamma S as well as TRH cause intracellular Ca2+ release; however, their mechanisms of action are, at least in part, distinct. Furthermore, the IP3-depletable Ca2+ pool can be refilled from a GTP gamma S-sensitive compartment via Ca2+ transport through the cytosol.

Synaptoneurosomes obtained from the cortex of rat brain prelabeled with [14C]arachidonic acid [( 14C]AA) were used as a source of substrate and enzyme in studies on the regulation of AA release. A significant amount of AA is liberated in the presence of 2 mM EGTA, independently of Ca2+, primarily from phosphatidic acid and polyphosphoinositides (poly-PI). Quinacrine, an inhibitor of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), suppressed AA release by about 60% and neomycin, a putative inhibitor of phospholipase C (PLC), reduced AA release by about 30%. An additive effect was exhibited when both inhibitors were given together. Ca2+ activated AA release. The level of Ca2+ present in the synaptoneurosomal preparation (endogenous level) and 5 microM CaCl2 enhance AA liberation by approximately 25%, whereas 2 mM CaCl2 resulted in a 50% increase in AA release relative to EGTA. The source for Ca(2+)-dependent AA release is predominantly phosphatidylinositol (PI); however, a small pool may also be liberated from neutral lipids. Carbachol, an agonist of the cholinergic receptor, stimulated Ca(2+)-dependent AA release by about 17%. Bradykinin enhanced the effect of carbachol by about 10-15%. This agonist-mediated AA release occurs specifically from phosphoinositides (PI + poly-PI). Quinacrine almost completely suppresses calcium-and carbachol-mediated AA release. Neomycin inhibits this process by about 30% and totally suppresses the effect of bradykinin. Our results indicate that both phospholipases PLA2 and PLC with subsequent action of DAG lipase are responsible for Ca(2+)-independent AA release. Ca(2+)-dependent and carbachol-mediated AA liberation occurs mainly as the result of PLA2 action. A small pool of AA is probably also released by PLC, which seems to be exclusively responsible for the effect of bradykinin.

The effects of aminoglycoside antibiotics on phospholipase D (PLD) activity were investigated in permeabilized NG108-15 cells and in isolated rat brain membranes. Neomycin inhibited guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate-stimulated PLD activity in digitonin-permeabilized NG108-15 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (50% inhibition at 100 microM). Neomycin similarly inhibited PLD activity present in rat brain membranes and assayed in vitro with [3H]phosphatidylcholine as substrate (50% inhibition at 65 microM). Other aminoglycosides tested (kanamycin, geneticin and streptomycin) were nearly equipotent inhibitors of rat brain PLD. These results indicate that aminoglycoside antibiotics inhibit phosphatidylcholine-PLD activity with comparable and sometimes greater potency than their well known inhibition of phosphoinositide-phospholipase C. The possibility that PLD inhibition could mediate some of the toxic side effects of aminoglycosides is suggested.

We have reported the presence of dopamine-1 (DA-1) and dopamine-2 (DA-2) receptors in renal brush border and basolateral membranes. DA-1 agonists stimulate adenylate cyclase (AC) and phospholipase C (PLC) activity in both membranes. Moreover, the ability of a DA-1 agonist (fenoldopam) to stimulate PLC activity is independent of AC activity. A DA-2 agonist (LY171555) by itself was without effect and did not enhance the ability of the DA-1 agonist to stimulate PLC activity. The DA-1 but not DA-2 agonists inhibit Na+/H+ exchange activity in brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) and Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity in basolateral membranes. However, cAMP inhibits, while protein kinase C (presumably via PLC activity) stimulates, Na+/H+ exchange activity. We therefore determined the effect of DA-1 agonists on Na+/H+ exchange activity when PLC or AC activity was blocked using neomycin or dideoxyadenosine, respectively. The drugs were incubated with minced renal cortex prior to preparation of BBMV by differential centrifugation and MnCl2 precipitation. Enrichment of BBMV was not affected by drug treatment. The Na+/H+ exchange activity was assessed by measuring amiloride (1 mmol/L) sensitive 22Na+ uptake in BBMV (pHi = 5.5, pHo = 7.5, Nai+ = O, Nao+ = 1 mmol/L). Neomycin inhibited DA and DA-1-stimulated PLC activity in BBMV in a concentration dependent manner (10(-6) to 10(-4) mol/L). Neomycin (10(-4) mol/L) completely blocked the ability of DA and DA-1 agonist to stimulate PLC activity but had no consistent effect on DA-1 inhibited Na+/H+ exchange activity. Dideoxyadenosine inhibited DA and DA-1 simulated AC activity without affecting DA-1 stimulated PLC activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Renomedullary interstitial cells cultured from the Dahl salt-resistant rat have higher levels of basal cytosolic calcium and prostaglandin E2 and are more responsive to vasopressin than interstitial cells from the Dahl salt-sensitive rat. We examined the potential role of inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in mediating these differences. Vasopressin-induced increases in labeled inositol phosphates were enhanced in renomedullary interstitial cells from Dahl salt-resistant compared with those from salt-sensitive rats. Addition of neomycin reduced basal production of labeled inositol phosphates and abolished the increase in inositol phosphates induced by vasopressin. Neomycin also prevented the peak decline pattern in cytosolic Ca2+ seen with vasopressin but did not influence basal cytosolic Ca2+. In the presence of neomycin, vasopressin induced a modest but prolonged increase in cytosolic calcium. In contrast to its marked effects on inositol phosphate production, neomycin was without effect on basal or vasopressin-responsive prostaglandin E2 production. Moreover, basal and vasopressin-induced increases in cytosolic Ca2+ remained higher in renomedullary interstitial cells from Dahl salt-resistant versus those from salt-sensitive rats exposed to neomycin. The results do not support a requirement for phospholipase C-induced inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in the mediation of vasopressin actions on prostaglandin E2 production by renomedullary interstitial cells and imply that the differences in cytosolic Ca2+ and prostaglandin E2 seen in these two cell lines are not related to differences in inositol phospholipid metabolism.

Muscarinic receptor-induced changes in the activities of phospholipase D (PLD) and of phosphoinositide-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) were investigated in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells transfected with, and stably expressing, the human m1, m2, m3, and m4 mAChR subtypes, respectively. PLD and PI-PLC activities in these four transfected cell lines as well as in nontransfected cells were measured by the formation of [3H]phosphatidylethanol [( 3H]PEt) and [3H]inositol phosphates [( 3H]IP) after labeling cellular phospholipids with [3H]oleic acid and [3H]inositol. The muscarinic receptor agonist carbachol had no significant effects on [3H]PEt and [3H]IP formation in nontransfected HEK cells. In cells expressing the m1 or m3 receptors carbachol (1 mM; in the presence of 400 mM ethanol and 10 mM lithium chloride) caused the formation of [3H]PEt of about 12,000 cpm/mg protein (basal PEt formation was not measurable) and increased [3H]IP formation by 20,000-30,000 cpm/mg (a 7-10-fold increase over basal levels). The EC50 values (0.3-1.5 microM) were similar for both effects and both mAChR subtypes. In contrast, in cells expressing m2 or m4 receptor subtypes the magnitude of [3H]PEt (about 4,000 cpm/mg protein) or [3H]IP (3,000-4,000 cpm/mg) formation was much smaller and the EC50 values (20-40 microM) much higher than for the m1 and m3 receptors. Neomycin (1 mM) inhibited the m1 and m3 receptor-mediated production of IP by 50%, whereas the PEt formation was attenuated by 20% in the same cells. We conclude that activation of all of the four mAChR subtypes, although with different efficiencies, can stimulate PLD. The m1 and m3 receptor-mediated stimulation of the PLD may be at least partially independent of the PI-PLC stimulation.

The influence of Ca2+ on the activity of the taurine transport system was investigated in rabbit small intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles. Preincubation of the brush-border membrane vesicles with Ca2+ prepared by the Mg2(+)-aggregation method markedly decreased the NaCl gradient-dependent uptake of taurine in these vesicles. Uptake of glucose and alanine, both dependent on a Na+ gradient, were also decreased by Ca2(+)-treatment, but their reduction was very small compared with that of taurine uptake. The inhibitory effect of Ca2+ was dose- and time-dependent. The inhibition was reduced by the presence of ethylene glycol-bis(beta-amino ethyl ether)-N,N,N'-N'-tetraacetic acid during treatment of the membrane vesicles with Ca2+. Neomycin partially protected the taurine transporter activity from the Ca2(+)-induced inhibition, but indomethacin did not. 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoate, a Cl(-)-channel blocker, did not increase taurine uptake in the Ca2(+)-treated membrane vesicles. It is concluded that the Ca2(+)-induced inhibition of taurine uptake in rabbit intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles is not due to accelerated dissipation of the ion gradient driving forces across the membrane but rather to a direct effect on the transporter, most likely mediated by the activation of the membrane-bound phospholipase C.

In voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes injected with embryonic guinea pig mRNA, effective concentrations of extracellular ATP elicited an inward fluctuating current. This current, carried by Cl-ions, was mainly dependent upon liberation of Ca2+ ions from stores as demonstrated by experiments using intracellular EGTA loading and TMB-8 superfusion. Neomycin inhibited these fluctuating currents indicating that the transplanted purinoceptor is linked to phospholipase C activity and triggers Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation. Ins(1,4,5)P3 production evoked by external ATP was clearly demonstrated by directly measuring the water-soluble Ins(1,4,5)P3 level in injected oocytes. Finally, it is suggested that the ATP effect was mediated by a Ca2+ release from Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitive pools since heparin blocked the ATP responsiveness. The acquired purinoceptor may be made apparent to a P2 subtype since ATP and ADP were equipotent in eliciting Cl- current while AMP and Adenosine were ineffective in injected oocytes.

The relative distribution of phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) kinase activities in enriched cardiac sarcolemma (SL), sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), and mitochondrial fractions was investigated. PI and PIP kinase activities were assayed by measuring 32P incorporation into PIP and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) from endogenous and exogenous PI in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP. PI and PIP kinase activities were present in SL, SR, and mitochondrial fractions prepared from atria and ventricles although the highest activities were found in SL. A similar membrane distribution was found for PI kinase activity measured in the presence of detergent and exogenous PI. PI and PIP kinase activities were detectable in the cytosol providing exogenous PI and PIP and Triton X-100 were present. Further studies focused on characterizing the properties and regulation of PI and PIP kinase activities in ventricular SL. Alamethacin, a membrane permeabilizing antibiotic, increased 32P incorporation into PIP and PIP2 4-fold. PI and PIP kinase activities were Mg2+ dependent and plateaued within 15-20 min at 25 degrees C. Exogenous PIP and PIP2 (0.1 mM) had no effect on PIP and PIP2 labeling in SL in the absence of Triton X-100 but inhibited PI kinase activity in the presence of exogenous PI and Triton X-100. Apparent Km's of ATP for PI and PIP kinase were 133 and 57 microM, respectively. Neomycin increased PIP kinase activity 2- to 3-fold with minor effects on PI kinase activity. Calmidazolium and trifluoperazine activated PI kinase activity 5- to 20-fold and completely inhibited PIP kinase activity. Quercetin inhibited PIP kinase 66% without affecting PI kinase activity. NaF and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) had no effect on PI and PIP kinase activities, indicating that these enzymes were not modulated by G proteins. The probability that PIP and PIP2 synthesis in cardiac sarcolemma is regulated by product inhibition and phospholipase C was discussed.

F9 mouse teratocarcinoma and PyS-2 cells in culture incubated with monovalent cations in buffered sucrose solution (0.25 M) can secrete as much as 40% of their total lysosomal enzymes into the medium within 30 min. Longer incubation does not lead to further loss of enzyme, suggesting that only a certain fraction of lysosomes is capable of discharge. The simultaneous presence of sucrose and cation, each at the respective optimal concentrations of 0.25 and 0.15 M, is required for lysosomal discharge (i.e. twice isoosmolarity). The cells remain fully viable. Sodium ions are more effective than lithium and potassium ions, whereas amines and divalent cations are less effective. Other sugars including glucose can replace sucrose to varying extents. Secretion is accompanied by a rapid short-lived rise in the level of cAMP. Forskolin as well as agents that activate G protein such as cholera toxin, AlF4-, and vanadate ions also increase the rate of secretion. Sucrose-Na+ stimulation takes place independently of changes in influx or efflux of calcium ions or changes in the levels of extracellular or free intracellular calcium ions. Neomycin, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, has little effect on secretion. Our results suggest that the secretion observed is mediated by a cAMP-dependent mechanism involving G proteins. Calcium ions and phospholipase C appear to play little or no part in the activation process.
