The action of carbamoylcholine (Cchol), NaF and other agonists on the generation of inositol phosphates (IPs) was studied in dog thyroid slices prelabelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol. The stimulation by Cchol (0.1 microM-0.1 mM) of IPs accumulation through activation of a muscarinic receptor [Graff, Mockel, Laurent, Erneux & Dumont (1987) FEBS Lett. 210, 204-210] was pertussis- and cholera-toxin insensitive. Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and InsP4 were generated. NaF (5-20 mM) also increased IPs generation (Graff et al., 1987); this effect was potentiated by AlCl3 (10 microM) and unaffected by pertussis toxin. Although phorbol dibutyrate (5 microM) abolished the cholinergic stimulation of IPs generation (Graff et al., 1987), it did not affect the fluoride-induced response. Cchol and NaF did not require extracellular Ca2+ to exert their effect, and neither KCl-induced membrane depolarization nor ionophore A23187 (10 microM) had any influence on basal IPs levels, or on cholinergic stimulation. However, more stringent Ca2+ depletion with EGTA (0.1 or 1 mM) decreased basal IPs levels as well as the amplitude of the stimulation by Cchol without abolishing it. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, forskolin, cholera toxin and prostaglandin E1 had no effect on basal IPs levels and did not decrease the response to Cchol. Iodide (4 or 40 microM) also strongly decreased the cholinergic action on IPs, this inhibition being relieved by methimazole (1 mM). Our data suggest that Cchol activates a phospholipase C hydrolysing PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the dog thyroid cell in a cyclic AMP-independent manner. This activation requires no extracellular Ca2+ and depends on a GTP-binding protein insensitive to both cholera toxin and requires no extracellular Ca2+ and depends on a GTP-binding protein insensitive to both cholera toxin and pertussis toxin. The data are consistent with a rapid metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,3,4)P3 via the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase pathway, followed by dephosphorylation by a 5-phosphomonoesterase. Indeed, a Ca2+-sensitive InsP3 3-kinase activity was demonstrated in tissue homogenate. Stimulation of protein kinase C and an organified form of iodine inhibit the Cchol-induced IPs generation. The negative feedback of activated protein kinase C could be exerted at the level of the receptor or of the receptor-G-protein interaction.

Antigen-mediated exocytosis in intact rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells is associated with substantial hydrolysis of membrane inositol phospholipids and an elevation in concentration of cytosol Ca2+ ([ Ca2+i]). Paradoxically, these two responses are largely dependent on external Ca2+. We report here that cells labeled with myo-[3H]inositol and permeabilized with streptolysin O do release [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate upon stimulation with antigen or guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) at low (less than 100 nM) concentrations of free Ca2+. The response, however, is amplified by increasing free Ca2+ to 1 microM. The subsequent conversion of the trisphosphate to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate is enhanced also by the increase in free Ca2+. Although [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate accumulates in greater amounts than is the case in intact cells, [3H]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate is still the major product in permeabilized cells even when the further metabolism of [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is suppressed (by 77%) by the addition of excess (1000 microM) unlabeled inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and the phosphatase inhibitor 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. It would appear that either the activity of the membrane 5-phosphomonoesterase allows virtually instantaneous dephosphorylation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate under all conditions tested or both phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate and the 4,5-bisphosphate are substrates for the activated phospholipase C. The latter alternative is supported by the finding that permeabilized cells, which respond much more vigorously to high (supraoptimal) concentrations of antigen than do intact RBL-2H3 cells, produce substantial amounts of [3H]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate before any detectable increase in levels of [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.

We have examined regulation by protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme) of thrombin-induced inositol polyphosphate accumulation in human platelets. When platelets are exposed to thrombin for 10 s, the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine causes inositol phosphate elevations over control values of 2.7-fold (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3], 1.9-fold (inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4], and 1.2-fold (inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate). In the same period, phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol are unaffected. The myosin light chain kinase inhibitor ML-7 has no effect on inositol phosphate accumulations. Staurosporine does not inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and 5-phosphomonoesterase activities in saponin-permeabilized platelets incubated with exogenous Ins(1,4,5)P3 unless the platelets have been exposed to thrombin and protein kinase C is consequently activated. The protein kinase C agonist beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate increases the Vmax of the 3-kinase 1.8-fold, with little effect on Km. Our results provide strong evidence for a role for protein kinase C in regulating inositol phosphate levels in thrombin-activated platelets. We propose that endogenously activated protein kinase C removes Ins(1,4,5)P3 by stimulating both 5-phosphomonoesterase and Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Initial activation of phospholipase C does not appear to be affected by such protein kinase C. Inhibition of protein kinase C by staurosporine decreases 5-phosphomonoesterase activity. The resulting elevated Ins(1,4,5)P3, as substrate for Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase, promotes production of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, which also may accumulate through decreased 5-phosphomonoesterase activity and elevated Ca2+ levels. These factors apparently counteract the inhibitory effect on 3-kinase, yielding a net increase in Ins(1,3,4,5)P4.

Rat sciatic nerve cytosol contains a phosphodiesterase of the phospholipase C type that catalyzes the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids, with preferences of phosphatidylinositol 4'-phosphate (PIP) greater than phosphatidylinositol (PI) much greater than phosphatidylinositol 4',5'-bisphosphate (PIP2), at a pH optimum of 5.5-6.0 and at maximum rates of 55, 13, and 0.7 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Analysis of reaction products by TLC and formate exchange chromatography shows that inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate (83%) and diacylglycerol are the major products of PI hydrolysis. [32P]-PIP hydrolysis yields inositol bisphosphate, inositol phosphate, and inorganic phosphate, indicating the presence of phosphodiesterase, phosphomonoesterase, and/or inositol phosphate phosphatase activities in nerve cytosol. Phosphodiesterase activity is Ca2+-dependent and completely inhibited by EGTA, but phosphomonoesterase activity is independent of divalent cations or chelating agents. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) inhibit PI hydrolysis. They stimulate PIP and PIP2 hydrolysis up to equimolar concentrations, but are inhibitory at higher concentrations. Both diacylglycerols and free fatty acids stimulate PI hydrolysis and counteract its inhibition by PC and lysoPC. PIP2 is a poor substrate for the cytosolic phospholipase C and strongly inhibits hydrolysis of PI. However, it enhances PIP hydrolysis up to an equimolar concentration.

Stimulation of human platelets by thrombin leads to rises of both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4)P3) within 10 s. The mass of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was measured in platelet extracts after conversion to [3-32P]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 with Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. Basal levels were equivalent to 0.2 microM and rose to 1 microM within 10 s of stimulation by thrombin. The mass of Ins(1,3,4)P3 was more than 10-fold greater than that of Ins(1,4,5)P3 between 10 and 60 s of thrombin stimulation. These results indicate that the majority of InsP3 liberated by phospholipase C in stimulated platelets must be the non-cyclic Ins(1,4,5)P3 in order to allow rapid phosphorylation by Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase to Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and then dephosphorylation to Ins(1,3,4)P3 by 5-phosphomonoesterase. A significant proportion of the InsP3 extracted from thrombin-stimulated platelets under neutral conditions is resistant to Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase but susceptible after acid treatment, implying the presence of inositol 1,2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,2cyc4,5)P3. The relative proportion of Ins(1,2cyc4,5)P3 increases with time. We suggest that such gradual accumulation is attributable to the relative insensitivity of this compound to hydrolytic and phosphorylating enzymes. Therefore, early Ca2+ mobilization in platelets is more likely to be effected by Ins(1,4,5)P3 than by Ins(1,2cyc4,5)P3.

An occurrence of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) phosphomonoesterase in human platelets was demonstrated by analyzing phosphoinositides metabolism. The activity of the enzyme was maximum at pH 7.0. It was active even in the absence of Ca2+ or Mg2+ but it was enhanced in the presence of Mg2+ or NaF. The activity was inhibited by pyrophosphate. The activity was not altered in the presence of Ca2+. Thereby, besides phosphodiesteric cleavage by phospholipase C, the amount of PIP2 in activated platelets may be reduced by the combined effect of PIP2-phosphomonoesterase and suppressed activity of PI-kinase by Ca2+.

Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] of turkey erythrocytes were labelled by using either [32P]Pi or [3H]inositol. Although there was little basal release of inositol phosphates from membranes purified from labelled cells, in the presence of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) the rate of accumulation of inositol bis-, tris- and tetrakis-phosphate (InsP2, InsP3 and InsP4) was increased 20-50-fold. The enhanced rate of accumulation of 3H-labelled inositol phosphates was linear for up to 20 min; owing to decreases in 32P specific radioactivity of phosphoinositides during incubation of membranes with unlabelled ATP, the accumulation of 32P-labelled inositol phosphates was linear for only 5 min. In the absence of ATP and a nucleotide-regenerating system, no InsP4 was formed, and the overall inositol phosphate response to GTP[S] was decreased. Analyses of phosphoinositides during incubation with ATP indicated that interconversions of PtdIns to PtdIns4P and PtdIns4P to PtdIns(4,5)P2 occurred to maintain PtdIns(4,5)P2 concentrations; GTP[S]-induced inositol phosphate formation was accompanied by a corresponding decrease in 32P- and 3H-labelled PtdIns, PtdIns4P and PtdIns(4,5)P2. In the absence of ATP, only GTP[S]-induced decreases in PtdIns(4,5)P2 occurred. Since inositol monophosphate was not formed under any condition, PtdIns is not a substrate for the phospholipase C. The production of InsP2 was decreased markedly, but not blocked, under conditions where Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphomonoesterase activity in the preparation was inhibited. Thus the predominant substrate of the GTP[S]-activated phospholipase C of turkey erythrocyte membranes is PtdIns(4,5)P2. Ins(1,4,5)P3 was the major product of this reaction; only a small amount of Ins(1:2-cyclic, 4,5)P3 was released. The effects of ATP on inositol phosphate formation apparently involve the contributions of two phenomena. First, the P2-receptor agonist 2-methylthioadenosine triphosphate (2MeSATP) greatly increased inositol phosphate formation and decreased [3H]PtdIns4P and [3H]PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the presence of a low (0.1 microM) concentration of GTP[S]. ATP over the concentration range 0-100 microM produced effects in the presence of 0.1 microM-GTP[S] essentially identical with those observed with 2MeSATP, suggesting that the effects of low concentrations of ATP are also explained by a stimulation of P2-receptors. Higher concentrations of ATP also increase inositol phosphate formation, apparently by supporting the synthesis of substrate phospholipids.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

We have investigated factors affecting the activation of phospholipase C in human platelets. Prior exposure of platelets to phorbol esters that stimulated protein kinase C inhibits the activation of phospholipase C in response to a variety of receptor-directed agonists, including alpha- and gamma-thrombin and thromboxane A2 analogues. Such activation has been assayed by measurements of accumulated InsP3 (including Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4)P3) and PtdOH. Inhibition is not overcome by Ca2+ ionophores, and substances that block or mimic Na+-H+ exchange neither block nor mimic these inhibitory effects. Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, other agents known to inhibit phospholipase C activation, do not accumulate in platelets exposed to phorbol esters. Although a portion of the effects of phorbol ester on InsP3 accumulation may be explained by 5-phosphomonoesterase activity, it is likely that more direct effects on phospholipase C are being exerted as well, and contribute the major inhibitory route. We have examined the susceptibility of adenylyl cyclase-associated Gi and 'Gp'-activated phospholipase C to inhibitory ADP-ribosylation by pertussis toxin-derived enzyme (S1 protomer) administered to saponin-permeabilized platelets. The effects of alpha-thrombin on adenylyl cyclase can be inhibited by up to 50% by S1, at which point inhibition of phospholipase C is barely detectable. Thromboxane A2 analogues, which do not affect adenylyl cyclase (Gi), stimulate phospholipase C; this effect is not impaired by S1. We therefore propose that the inhibitory effects of phorbol esters on the activation of phospholipase C are not mediated primarily by effects on Gi.

Cleavage of the polyphosphoinositides, catalyzed by phospholipase C purified from ram seminal vesicles, produces phosphorylated inositols containing cyclic phosphate esters (Wilson, D. B., Bross, T. E., Sherman, W. R., Berger, R. A., and Majerus, P. W. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 82, 4013-4017). In the present study we describe the isolation and characterization of inositol 1:2-cyclic 4-bisphosphate and inositol 1:2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate, the two cyclic phosphate products of phospholipase C catalyzed cleavage of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, respectively. We established the structures of these two cyclic compounds through 18O labeling of phosphate moieties, phosphomonoesterase digestion, and fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry. We examined the physiological effects of these compounds in two systems: saponin-permeabilized platelets loaded with 45Ca2+ and intact Limulus photoreceptors. Both inositol 1:2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate and the noncyclic inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, but not inositol 1:2-cyclic 4-bisphosphate, release 45Ca2+ from permeabilized platelets in a concentration-dependent manner. Injection of inositol 1:2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate into Limulus ventral photoreceptor cells induces both a change in membrane conductance and a transient increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration similar to those induced by light. We injected inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1:2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate into the same photoreceptor cell and found that the cyclic compound is approximately five times more potent than the noncyclic compound in stimulating a conductance change. We speculate that inositol 1:2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate may function as a second messenger in stimulated cells.

The phosphoinositides are metabolized by phospholipase C in response to hormone or agonist stimulation in many cell types to produce diglyceride and water-soluble inositol phosphates. We have recently shown that the phospholipase C reaction products include cyclic phosphate esters of inositol. One of these, inositol 1, 2-cyclic 4,5-trisphosphate, is active in promoting Ca2+ mobilization in platelets and in inducing changes in conductance in Limulus photoreceptors similar to those produced by light (Wilson, D. B., Connolly, T. M., Bross, T. E., Majerus, P. W., Sherman, W. R., Tyler, A., Rubin, L. J., and Brown, J. E. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 13496-13501. In the current study, we have examined the metabolism of the inositol phosphates. We find that both cyclic and non-cyclic inositol trisphosphates are metabolized by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphomonoesterase, to inositol 1,2-cyclic bisphosphate and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, respectively. However, the apparent Km of the enzyme for the cyclic substrate is approximately 10-fold higher than for the non-cyclic substrate. These inositol bisphosphates are more slowly degraded to inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate and inositol 1-phosphate, respectively. Inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate is then hydrolyzed to inositol 1-phosphate, which in turn is degraded to inositol and inorganic phosphate by inositol 1-phosphate phosphatase. The human platelet inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate hydrolase enzyme and a similar rat kidney hydrolase do not utilize the cyclic polyphosphate esters of inositol as substrates. These results suggest that the inositol cyclic phosphates and the non-cyclic inositol phosphates are metabolized separately by phosphatases to cyclic and non-cyclic inositol monophosphates. The cyclic monophosphate is then converted to inositol 1-phosphate by a cyclic hydrolase. We suggest that the enzymes that metabolize the inositol phosphates may serve to regulate cellular responses to these compounds.
