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)

The effect of the vasodilatory peptide bradykinin on the regulation of phosphoinositide metabolism in endothelial cells was investigated. Activation of phosphoinositide metabolism by bradykinin in the endothelium of the bovine pulmonary artery was not blocked by pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates a membrane protein of molecular mass 40 kDa, but botulinum toxin, which ADP-ribosylates a membrane protein of molecular mass 24 kDa, fully blocked bradykinin-stimulated phosphoinositide metabolism. The effect of bradykinin was potentiated by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma-S), an activator of GTP-binding proteins, and inhibited by guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP-beta-S), an inhibitor of GTP-binding proteins. Activation of phosphoinositide metabolism by bradykinin was fully blocked by a B2-receptor antagonist, whereas a B1-receptor antagonist did not affect bradykinin action. It is concluded that the B2-receptor in endothelial cells is coupled to phospholipase C via a GTP-binding protein, which is a substrate for botulinum toxin.

G proteins are membrane-bound molecules involved in coupling of surface receptors with signal transduction effector systems in multiple cell types including T lymphocytes. Given that mature T cells which lack antigen receptors (CDl-Ti) are refractory to stimulation through CD2 or other accessory molecules, T cell receptor components likely play a critical role in coupling surface receptors with signal transduction effectors. It has recently been proposed that modulation of T cell receptor components with MAbs results in a physical loss or functional inactivation of G protein(s). In view of the importance of the T cell activation process, we herein examined G proteins in untreated or antibody-modulated Jurkat T cells as well as in genetic variants lacking either CD3-Ti or CD2 surface receptors. 43- and 41-kDa G protein alpha chains are ADP ribosylated with cholera (CTX) and pertussis (PTX) toxins, respectively, in wild type and receptor minus cell populations. In the wild type Jurkat cell line as well as in CD3- and CD2- variants, AlF4- can activate the G protein(s) presumably associated with phospholipase C to generate polyphosphoinositide turnover as well as an increase in cytoplasmic free calcium ions. Furthermore, G protein(s) linked to adenylylcyclase, a pathway which inhibits T lymphocyte activation, can be directly activated with CTX in the absence of CD3-Ti or CD2 on the membrane. Importantly, AlF4- can also induce polyphosphoinositide turnover in Jurkat cells whose T cell receptor proteins have been modulated with anti-CD3 MAb. These data provide functional and biochemical evidence that at least certain G proteins are intact in the absence of surface expression of CD3-Ti or CD2 molecules and imply that CD3-Ti desensitization is not singularly due to G protein loss.

The association of G-proteins with the T-cell-specific receptor structures CD3 and CD2 was investigated. High-affinity GTPase activity in membrane preparations of the human leukemic T-cell line Jurkat could be induced by the monoclonal antibodies OKT3 (anti-CD3) and OKT11 (anti-CD2). When combining maximally active concentrations of OKT3 and OKT11, no additive effect was seen on GTPase activity. In mutant Jurkat cells lacking the CD3 complex but with an intact CD2 receptor, neither OKT3 nor OKT11 could stimulate GTPase activity. Activation of CD3 and CD2 by monoclonal antibodies also stimulated phospholipase C activity as measured by breakdown of membrane phosphoinositides in wild-type but not in mutant Jurkat cells. Neither GTPase nor phospholipase C activation was sensitive to pretreatment with doses of pertussis toxin (PTX) that caused ADP ribosylation of a sensitive G-protein. Our data show that the CD3 complex and the CD2 receptor may activate a common PTX-insensitive G-protein. The CD2 receptor appears to stimulate the G-protein by interacting with the CD3 complex. The data are compatible with, but do not prove, that this G-protein is involved in the activation of phospholipase C by the two receptors.

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).

We have previously characterized a hormonally regulated soluble form of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in the cultured renal mesangial cell which is similar and possibly identical to the major form in rat kidney. In an attempt to further characterize the mechanisms of regulation of this enzyme we have used epidermal growth factor (EGF), which does not activate polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in these cells. EGF-enhanced PLA2 activity as assayed by the ability of the soluble extracts of cells to cleave arachidonic acid from the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. This represents a direct demonstration of EGF-induced PLA2 activation which is preserved in a cell-free extract. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), as well as 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol, also enhanced PLA2 activity. By contrast, the calcium ionophore A23187 had no effect on extract PLA2 activity. The EGF- and PMA-induced enhanced activity was recovered following fractionation by Mono-Q anion exchange chromatography. The peak of activity comigrated for both agonists, suggesting that both EGF and PMA stimulated the same form of the enzyme. Down-regulation of protein kinase C by pretreatment with PMA resulted in loss of the PMA-induced, but not the EGF-induced, enhancement in PLA2 activity. 8-Bromo-cAMP had no effect upon the PLA2 activity, and did not modulate the EGF effect. Pertussis toxin induced G protein ADP-ribosylation but had no effect upon PLA2 activity, and did not alter the EGF effect. In summary, EGF results in a stable modification of PLA2 activity in glomerular mesangial cells. This enhanced activity is independent of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis, insensitive to protein kinase C down-regulation, and is not affected by cAMP or pertussis toxin pretreatment of the cells.

Guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins, or G proteins, mediate the interaction of agonist receptors on the platelet surface with phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase. To better understand this process, we have used several approaches to identify which G proteins are present in platelets, normal human megakaryocytes, and human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells, a leukemic cell line with megakaryocytic features. Because platelet and HEL cell responses to thrombin are inhibited by pertussis toxin, we have focused upon the members of the Gi family, whose alpha subunits can be ADP-ribosylated by that toxin. Western blots with antisera specific for Gi alpha demonstrated the presence in both platelets and HEL cells of the three best-described forms of this protein: Gi alpha 1, Gi alpha 2, and Gi alpha 3. Based upon immunoprecipitation studies with [35S]-methionine-labeled HEL cells, their relative abundance appears to be Gi alpha 2 much greater than Gi alpha 3 greater than Gi alpha 1. A HEL cell cDNA library screened with the Gi alpha antisera produced clones encoding Gi alpha 2 and Gi alpha 3 that had sequences similar to those reported from other sources. Gi alpha-specific probes created from these cDNA clones confirmed the presence of mRNA encoding Gi alpha 2 and Gi alpha 3 in both platelets (by Northern blotting) and megakaryocytes (by in situ hybridization). Thus the pertussis toxin substrates that have previously been detected in platelets and HEL cells are shown to be members of the Gi alpha family, all of which are candidates for interaction with receptors for thrombin and other agonists.

On separation of rat pancreatic plasma membrane proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, 15 GTP-binding protein (G-protein) alpha-subunits could be detected immunochemically using an alpha common antibody. These consisted of five 48 kDa proteins (pI 5.70, 5.80, 5.90, 6.10 and 6.25) and five 45 kDa proteins (pI 5.90, 6.05, 6.25, 6.30 and 6.70), presumably corresponding to low- and high-molecular mass forms of the Gs-protein, as well as three 40/41 kDa proteins (pI 5.50, 5.70 and 6.00) and two 39 kDa proteins (pI 5.50 and 6.00). All of these proteins except for the more acidic 39 kDa protein were ADP-ribosylated by cholera toxin (CT). In addition, the three 40/41 kDa proteins and the more alkaline 39 kDa protein were also ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin (PT). CT- and PT-induced ADP-ribosylation changed the pI values of G-protein alpha-subunits by 0.2 pI units to more acidic values. Preincubation of isolated pancreatic membranes with cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-OP), which stimulates phospholipase C in acinar cells, decreased CT-induced as well as PT-induced ADP-ribosylation of the three 40/41 kDa proteins, whereas CT-induced ADP-ribosylation of one 45 kDa (pI 5.80) and all 48 kDa proteins was enhanced in the presence of CCK. Carbachol, another stimulant of phospholipase C, had no effect. The three 40/41 kDa proteins and one 48 kDa protein could be labelled with the GTP analogue [alpha-32P]GTP-gamma-azidoanilide. CCK, but not carbachol, stimulated incorporation of the GTP analogue into all of these four proteins. Using different anti-peptide antisera specific for alpha-subunits of G-proteins we identified the three 40/41 kDa Gi-proteins as Gi1 (pI 6.00), Gi2 (pI 5.50) and Gi3 (pI 5.70). The Gi3-protein was found to be the major Gi-protein of pancreatic plasma membranes. One of the 39 kDa proteins (pI 6.0) was identified as Go. These results indicate that CCK receptors functionally interact with six Gs-proteins and with Gi1, Gi2 and Gi3-proteins. Since evidence suggests that a 40/41 kDa CT substrate is involved in the stimulation of phospholipase C in pancreatic acinar cells, it is likely that one, two or all three 40/41 kDa Gi-proteins are involved in the coupling of CCK receptors with phospholipase C.

Cholate-solubilized extracts from bovine liver plasma membranes preincubated with the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) displayed enhanced phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activity compared with extracts from membranes incubated without nucleotide or with ATP or GDP analog. Resolution of the GTP gamma S-elicited activator of phospholipase C was achieved using heparin-Sepharose which bound the phospholipase C activity. Recombination of non-adsorbed extract with salt-eluted phospholipase C activity resulted in a stimulation of enzyme activity. The GTP gamma S-dependent activator was purified, on the basis of its ability to activate partially purified phospholipase C, by sequential chromatography on Q-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-300, octyl-Sepharose, and Mono Q. The presence of G-protein beta subunits and the alpha subunits of Gi1, Gi2, and Gi3 was detected, by immunoblot analysis, in Mono Q-purified phospholipase C activator preparations. Resolution of the activator from these alpha subunits was achieved by incubation with pertussis toxin in the presence of millimolar NAD+ followed by rechromatography on Mono Q. The phospholipase C activator, thus resolved from ADP-ribosylated alpha i subunits, possessed an approximate Mr of 42 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and copurified with a substoichiometric amount of beta subunit. Immunoblot analysis of fractions from the final Mono Q column revealed cross-reactivity of the 42-kDa phospholipase C activator with antipeptide antibodies raised against residues 160-169 of alpha i1 and a region of sequence common to all known G-protein alpha subunits. The 42-kDa activator was not recognized by other alpha subunit-specific or common antibodies. These findings identify the purified phospholipase C activator as a novel G-protein alpha subunit. This may represent the active subunit of the pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein mediating receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide breakdown in mammalian liver.

ATP stimulates arachidonic acid release and prostaglandin biosynthesis (most likely via phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activation) and phospholipase C (PLC) activation in cultured rabbit coronary microvessel endothelial cells. Pertussis toxin pretreatment inhibits ATP stimulated prostaglandin release, but not ATP stimulated phosphatidylinositol turnover. In contrast, activation of G-proteins with GTP tau S or AlF4- stimulates both prostaglandin synthesis and PLC. These observations suggest that PLC activation by ATP involves a G-protein(s) that is not ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin and further, that ATP activation of prostaglandin biosynthesis appears to involve a different, pertussis toxin sensitive, G-protein.
