The effect of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), forskolin, and dibutyryl cAMP on arachidonic acid release, inositol phospholipid metabolism, and Ca2+ mobilization was investigated. The chemotactic tripeptide (formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP))-induced arachidonic acid release in neutrophils was significantly inhibited by PGE2, forskolin, and dibutyryl cAMP. Among them, PGE2 was found to be the most potent inhibitor. However, when neutrophils were stimulated by Ca2+ ionophore A23187, such inhibitory effect by these agents was less marked. PGE2 also suppressed the enhanced incorporation of [32P]Pi into phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphatidylinositol in a dose-dependent manner in fMLP-stimulated neutrophils. Also in this case, Ca2+ ionophore-induced alterations were hardly inhibited by PGE2. As well, PGE2 inhibited the fMLP-induced decrease of [3H]arachidonic acid in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol and the increase in PA very significantly. But the inhibitory effect by PGE2 was found to be weak in Ca2+ ionophore-stimulated neutrophils. These results suggest that a certain step from receptor activation to Ca2+ influx is mainly inhibited by PGE2. Concerning polyphosphoinositide breakdown, PGE2 did not affect the fMLP-induced decrease of [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate which occurred within 10 s but inhibited the subsequent loss of [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and [32P]phosphatidylinositol, suggesting that the compensatory resynthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was inhibited. On the other hand, fMLP-induced diacylglycerol formation was suppressed for the early period until 1 min, but with further incubation, diacylglycerol formation was rather accelerated by PGE2. Moreover, the inhibition of PA formation by PGE2 became evident after a 30-s time lag, suggesting that the conversion of diacylglycerol to PA is inhibited by PGE2. The formation of water-soluble products of inositol phospholipid degradation by phospholipase C, such as inositol phosphate, inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, was also suppressed by PGE2 treatment. However, the inhibition was not so marked as that of arachidonic acid release and PA formation. Thus, PGE2 appeared to inhibit not only initial events such as polyphosphoinositide breakdown but also turnover of inositol phospholipids. PGE2, forskolin, and dibutyryl cAMP did not block the rapid elevation of intracellular Ca2+ which was observed within 10 s in fMLP-stimulated neutrophils. However, subsequent increase in intracellular Ca2+ which was caused from 10 s to 3 min after stimulation was inhibited by PGE2, forskolin, and dibutyryl cAMP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The production and metabolism of inositol phosphates in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells prelabeled with [3H]inositol and stimulated with angiotensin II were analyzed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography. Exposure to angiotensin II was accompanied by a rapid and substantial decrease in the phospholipid precursor, phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4,5-bisphosphate with only a slight and transient increase in the level of the biologically active product, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3), to a peak at about 5 sec. Inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate (Ins-1,3,4-P3), the putative metabolite of Ins-1,4,5-P3, was also formed rapidly and maintained an elevated steady-state level during stimulation by angiotensin II. Inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (Ins-1,4-P2) exhibited a simultaneous and prominent increase that could not be accounted for solely by direct breakdown of PtdIns 4-phosphate, indicating that large amounts of Ins-1,4,5-P3 must also have been produced and metabolized. The rapid formation of a substantial amount of inositol 4-monophosphate (Ins-4-P), with no significant change in the level of inositol 1-monophosphate (Ins-1-P) during the first minute of stimulation, was a notable feature of the glomerulosa cell response to angiotensin II. These observations indicate that PtdIns-4,5-P2 catabolism in the angiotensin-stimulated glomerulosa cell initially proceeds via Ins-1,4,5-P3 through Ins-1,3,4-P3 and Ins-1,4-P2 to form Ins-4-P rather than Ins-1-P and that direct hydrolysis of PtdIns by phospholipase C does not occur during the initial phase of angiotensin action. In glomerulosa cells stimulated by angiotensin II in the presence of Li+, the progressive accumulation of both Ins-4-P, and after a short lag period, Ins-1-P indicated that dephosphorylation of both isomers was inhibited by Li+. The increase of Ins-P isomers in the presence of Li+ was associated with increased and progressive accumulation of Ins-1,4-P2 and Ins-1,3,4-P3 but not of Ins-1,4,5-P3. These data demonstrate that sustained and massive breakdown of PtdIns phosphates begins within seconds during cell activation by angiotensin II. The Ca2+-mobilizing metabolite, Ins-1,4,5-P3, is rapidly converted to Ins-1,3,4-P3 and degraded through Ins-1,4-P2 and Ins-4-P, in contrast to the previous view that conversion to Ins-1-P is the major route of PtdIns 4,5-bisphosphate metabolism.

Addition of 1 mM-carbachol to [3H]inositol-labelled rat parotid slices stimulated rapid formation of [3H]inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, the accumulation of which reached a peak 20 s after stimulation, and then declined rapidly towards a new steady state. The initial rate of formation of inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate was slower than that for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. The radioactivity in [3H]inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate fell quickly in carbachol-stimulated and then atropine-blocked parotid slices, suggesting that it is rapidly metabolized during stimulation. Parotid homogenates rapidly dephosphorylated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and, less rapidly, inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate. Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate was specifically hydrolysed to a compound with the chromatographic properties of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate. The only 3H-labelled phospholipids that we could detect in parotid slices labelled with [3H]inositol for 90 min were phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Parotid homogenates synthesized inositol tetrakisphosphate from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. This activity was dependent on the presence of ATP. We suggest that, during carbachol stimulation of parotid slices, the key event in inositol lipid metabolism is the activation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-specific phospholipase C. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate thus liberated is metabolized in two distinct ways; by direct hydrolysis of the 5-phosphate to form inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and by phosphorylation to form inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and hence, by hydrolysis of this tetrakisphosphate, to form inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate.

PMID:Rapid formation of inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate in rat parotid glands may both result indirectly from receptor-stimulated release of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. 302 54

A variety of surface membrane receptors can activate a phospholipase C, which degrades phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate liberating a calcium mobilizing second messenger, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [(1,4,5)IP3]. The coupling of surface receptors to the phospholipase C involves one or more guanine nucleotide-dependent regulatory proteins that are similar but not identical to those that regulate adenylate cyclase. (1,4,5)IP3 has been shown to release Ca2+ from a portion of the endoplasmic reticulum and is believed responsible for the initial phase of Ca2+ mobilization ascribed to internal Ca2+ release. (1,4,5)IP3 acts by binding to a specific receptor that either is a component of, or regulates, a Ca2+ ion channel. The release of Ca2+ from the (1,4,5)IP3-sensitive component of the endoplasmic reticulum may secondarily activate the second phase of Ca2+ mobilization, which involves Ca2+ entry. (1,4,5)IP3 is metabolized by two pathways. One involves the action of a 5-phosphatase that degrades (1,4,5)IP3 to inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, whereas the other involves a 3-kinase that phosphorylates (1,4,5)IP3 to produce inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. The significance of this dual metabolism is not known, but it may be important in rapidly extinguishing the Ca2+-releasing activity (1,4,5)IP3.

We prepared [3H]inositol-,3-[32P]phosphate-and 4-[32P]phosphate-labeled inositol phosphate substrates to investigate the metabolism of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate. In crude extracts of calf brain, inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate is first converted to inositol 3,4-bisphosphate, then the inositol 3,4-bisphosphate intermediate is further converted to inositol 3-phosphate. Similarly, inositol 1,4-bisphosphate is converted to inositol 4-phosphate, and no inositol 1-phosphate is formed. We partially purified an enzyme that we tentatively name inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase. This cytosolic enzyme converts inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate to inositol 3,4-bisphosphate and also converts inositol 1,4-bisphosphate to inositol 4-phosphate. The enzyme does not utilize inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, or inositol 1-phosphate as substrates. Thus we propose a new scheme for inositol phosphate metabolism. According to this pathway inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate are degraded to inositol 4-phosphate. Inositol 1-phosphate, which is the major inositol monophosphate formed in stimulated brain, is derived either from phospholipase C cleavage of phosphatidylinositol or from the degradation of inositol cyclic phosphates.

Membranes prepared from DMSO-differentiated HL60 cells labeled with [3H]inositol hydrolyze polyphosphoinositides in a Ca2+-dependent manner, generating inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Incubation of membranes with GTP or GTP gamma S reduces the concentration of Ca2+ required for activation. This nucleotide effect is potentiated by formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP). Pertussis toxin inhibits FMLP-induced augmentation, but not the induction of IP2/IP3 formation by GTP or GTP gamma S. These results suggest that differentiated HL60 cells contain a membrane-associated phospholipase C that degrades polyphosphoinositides and that activation of this enzyme is mediated by at least two guanine nucleotide binding proteins, one of which is linked to FMLP receptors and is pertussis toxin sensitive.

Human sperm lysates were incubated in the presence of 1-[14C]stearoyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-[14C]stearoyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine or 1-[14C]stearoyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoinositol. Only the latter substrate was hydrolyzed to a significant extent, with a concomitant formation of 1-[14C]stearoyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerol. Furthermore, incubation of phosphatidyl[3H]inositol under the same conditions was accompanied by the formation, in roughly equal amounts, of [3H]inositol 1-phosphate and [3H]inositol 1:2-cyclic monophosphate. Finally [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and [32P]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate were degraded into [32P]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and [32P]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, respectively. The phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C was activated by calcium (optimal concentration 5-10 mM) and inhibited by EGTA, although endogenous calcium supported a half-maximal activity. The enzyme displayed an optimal pH of 6.0 and an apparent Km of 0.08 mM. Its specific activity was around 10 nmol/min per mg protein, which is approximately the same as that found in human blood platelets. Subcellular fractionation revealed that 55% of the enzyme was solubilized under conditions where 80% of acrosin appeared in the supernatants. The majority of the particulate phospholipase C activity (37% of total) was found in the 1000 X g pellet, which contained only 8% of total acrosin activity. Further fractionation of spermatozoa into heads and tails indicated no specific enrichment of phospholipase C activity in any of these two fractions. However, owing to a 4-fold higher protein content in the head compared to the tail fraction, it is concluded that about 80% of particulate phospholipase C activity is located in sperm head. The physiological significance of this enzyme is discussed in relation to a possible role in acrosome reaction and (or) in egg fertilization.

1. The receptor-activated mechanisms that mediate the steroidogenic actions of angiotensin II (AII) have been characterized in rat and bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells. In rat adrenal cells, the AII receptor is coupled to a guanine nucleotide inhibitory protein which reduces adenylate cyclase activity and cyclic AMP production. However, receptor-mediated stimulation of aldosterone production by AII is exerted through a separate pertussis-insensitive nucleotide regulatory protein that subserves coupling of activated receptors to phospholipase C. 2. In AII-stimulated glomerulosa cells, hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) by phospholipase C yields diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-P3), which act as second messengers by activating calcium-calmodulin and calcium-phospholipid dependent protein kinase pathways. Ins-1,4,5-P3 is a potent stimulus of intracellular calcium mobilization, and is promptly inactivated by two major routes of metabolism. Direct degradation of Ins-1,4,5-P3 by a 5-phosphatase gives inositol 1,4-bisphosphate which in turn is metabolized to inositol-4-monophosphate. The latter product can be derived only from higher inositol phosphates, and thus serves as a specific marker of polyphosphoinositide breakdown in agonist-stimulated cells. In contrast, inositol-1-phosphate is largely derived from phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis, which is not increased during the initial phase of AII action. 3. Ins-1,4,5-P3 formed in AII-stimulated glomerulosa cells is also phosphorylated by a calcium-calmodulin dependent 3-kinase to form inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins-P4), which is rapidly dephosphorylated to the biologically inactive Ins-1,4,5-P3 isomer, Ins-1,3,4-trisphosphate. The latter metabolite, like Ins-1,4,5-P3, is both degraded to lower phosphates (Ins-3,4,P2 and Ins-1,3-P2) and phosphorylated to form a new tetrakisphosphate isomer (Ins-1,3,4,6-P4). Ins-1,4,5-P3 formed during AII action is bound with high affinity to specific intracellular receptors through which InsP3 causes calcium mobilization during the initiation of cellular responses to AII and other calcium-dependent ligands.

The production and metabolism of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) and other inositol polyphosphates was studied in cultured bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells prelabeled for 24 h with [3H]inositol. During stimulation with angiotensin II, Ins-1,4,5-P3 increased to a peak of 15-fold above basal within 10 s, followed by a second phase of continuous increase over the next 30 min. Ins-1,4,5-P3 formed during agonist stimulation was rapidly metabolized by two distinct pathways. The more direct metabolic route was via degradation by sequential dephosphorylations to form inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and inositol 4-phosphate, and ultimately inositol. Lithium ions inhibited both the formation and dephosphorylation of inositol 4-monophosphate, which is a specific product of inositol polyphosphate metabolism. In addition, a cyclical metabolic sequence was initiated by the 3-phosphorylation of Ins-1,4,5-P3 to form inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. The Ins-1,4,5-P3 3-kinase responsible for this reaction had a Km of 0.4 microM for Ins-1,4,5-P3 and a Vmax of 208 pmol/min/mg and was stimulated by increased Ca2+ concentrations in the micromolar range. Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate was then dephosphorylated to inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate, which in turn was either further degraded to inositol 3,4-bisphosphate or rephosphorylated to inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate. Lithium ions also inhibited the production of inositol 3,4-bisphosphate, explaining the large accumulation of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate in cells stimulated in the presence of lithium. Prolonged exposure to angiotensin II in the presence of Li+ caused a progressive decline in inositol polyphosphate formation without depletion of the lipid precursor, phosphatidyl-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate, suggesting that an accumulating product of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis (possibly diacylglycerol) has an inhibitory effect on the phospholipase C-catalyzed breakdown process. These results indicate that, in addition to its breakdown by sequential dephosphorylations through Ins-1,4-P2 and Ins-4-P, Ins-1,4,5-P3 undergoes a complex series of phosphorylations and dephosphorylations to form at least two inositol tetrakisphosphates and their metabolites. These newly defined pathways may provide additional regulatory steps in the mechanism of cell activation by angiotensin II and other Ca2+-mobilizing hormones.

The hypothalamic neuropeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates luteinizing hormone secretion via receptor-mediated activation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis to yield inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol. Application of anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography together with absorbance and radiochemical flow detection has enabled both the characterization and quantitative estimation of pituitary cell inositol phosphates and phosphoinositides. In cultured pituitary cells, GnRH caused a rapid and progressive rise in the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and of higher polyphosphoinositols corresponding to inositol tetrakisphosphate, pentakisphosphate, and hexakisphosphate. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formed during GnRH action was dephosphorylated predominantly via inositol 4-monophosphate rather than the expected metabolite, inositol 1-monophosphate. The catabolism of inositol 4-monophosphate, like that of inositol 1-monophosphate, was inhibited by lithium. For these reasons and because it was the major metabolite of [3H] inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in permeabilized gonadotrophs, inositol 4-monophosphate appears to represent a specific marker for ligand-stimulated inositol polyphosphate formation and metabolism. The marked and sustained elevations of inositol 4-monophosphate and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate in GnRH-stimulated gonadotrophs indicate that polyphosphoinositides rather than phosphatidylinositol are the preferred substrates of phospholipase C during GnRH action.
