We have examined the activation of a phospholipase C signal transduction pathway by a B2-bradykinin receptor in the human astrocytoma cell line D384 and how this influences D1-dopamine receptor stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. Addition of bradykinin to D384 cells resulted in a concentration-dependent (10(-11)-10(-6) M) increase in the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates and a similar concentration-dependent transient increase in specific [3H]beta-phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate binding which is indicative of translocation of protein kinase C from the cytosol to the membrane. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ of single cells, measured using the fluorescent indicator dye fura-2, indicated that bradykinin produced a rapid, but transient, increase in intracellular calcium. The Ca2+ response was largely independent of extracellular Ca2+ supporting the idea that receptor activation leads to mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. However, extracellular Ca2+ was required for a response to a rechallenge with bradykinin. The bradykinin B2-receptor agonist kallidin increased cytosolic Ca2+ in a similar manner to bradykinin. The Ca2+ response to bradykinin could be partially reduced in the presence of the B2-receptor antagonist [D-Arg0-Hyp,D-Phe7,beta-(2-Thienyl)-Ala5,8]-bradykinin, whereas the B1-receptor agonists (Des-Arg9]-bradykinin and [Des-Arg10]-kallidin were ineffective. Bradykinin was also found to attenuate dopamine stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in D384 cells, at similar concentrations previously observed to stimulate the phospholipase C signal transduction pathway, in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, rolipram. In contrast, no attenuation was observed in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 1-isobutyl 3-methylxanthine, although the level of dopamine stimulated cyclic AMP observed was lower than in the presence of rolipram.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Bradykinin (BK) induced a biphasic 1,2-diacylglycerol production in both K-ras-transformed (DT) cells and its parent NIH3T3 cells. The first phase was coincident with the transient phosphoinositide turnover and the second sustained phase was derived from hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC). In DT cells, the PC breakdown was considerably due to phospholipase C and dependent on intracellular calcium oscillations.

A number of lines of evidence indicate that the Ca2+ and cyclic AMP signalling systems interact in NCB-20 cells. However, to date, the regulation of [Ca2+]i homeostasis has not been studied in this cell line. The present study aimed to clarify our understanding of [Ca2+]i homeostasis in these cells and to evaluate tools that manipulate [Ca2+]i, independently of protein kinase C effects. Bradykinin, by a B2-receptor, elevated [Ca2+]i by a pertussis-toxin-insensitive mechanism. The BK-stimulated [Ca2+]i rise originated from intracellular sources, without a contribution from Ca2+ entry mechanisms. The effect of BK was precluded by pretreatment with thapsigargin and ionomycin--compounds that elevated [Ca2+]i independent of phospholipase C activation. Both compounds, however, exerted effects in addition to stimulating release of Ca2+ from BK-sensitive stores; the BK-sensitive Ca2+ pool was a subset of the thapsigargin-sensitive pool; ionomycin strongly stimulates Ca2+ entry. Activation of protein kinases A and C attenuated the duration of the BK-induced rise in [Ca2+]i, without affecting the peak [Ca2+]i, suggesting interference with the BK response at a step downstream of the activation of phospholipase C. Application of these approaches should enhance the delineation of the consequences of Ca2+ mobilization on cyclic AMP accumulation.

Bradykinin (BK) induced a biphasic increase in 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) in both K-ras-transformed fibroblasts (DT) and the parent NIH-3T3 cells. The first phase was coincident with the increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 resulting from PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis, and the second, sustained, phase was derived from phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) hydrolysis. In NIH-3T3 cells, stimulation by BK induced greater production of choline than phosphocholine in [3H]choline-labelled cells and appreciable phosphatidylethanol (PtdEtOH) formation in [3H]myristic acid-labelled cells, suggesting that PtdCho was hydrolysed mainly by a phospholipase D (PLD) activity. Pretreatment with propranolol, an inhibitor of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, markedly diminished the second DAG accumulation, supporting the above notion. In DT cells, BK induced predominantly phosphocholine generation and little PtdEtOH formation, indicating that the PtdCho hydrolysis was due to a phospholipase C (PLC) activity. The BK-induced oscillations in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) observed in single DT cells [Fu, Sugimoto, Oki, Murakami, Okano & Nozawa (1991) FEBS Lett. 281, 263-266] were detected as a sustained [Ca2+]i elevation when assayed in a cell suspension. A receptor-operated Ca2+ channel blocker, SK&F 96365, suppressed both the BK-induced phosphocholine generation and the sustained [Ca2+]i elevation in a similar dose-dependent manner. These results thus suggested that oscillations in [Ca2+]i are involved in the activation of PtdCho-specific PLC in DT cells.

The effect of bradykinin on the activation production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was examined in the murine osteoblastic cell line, MC3T3-E1. Bradykinin, at concentrations ranging from 1 to 1000 nM, stimulated the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 2.5- to 3-fold within 10 s, and elevated cytosolic-free Ca2+, even in the absence of external Ca2+. This process is mediated through the activation of phospholipase C. Bradykinin at the same concentration also stimulated the production of PGE2 and caused a release of 3H radioactivity from the cells prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid, probably via the activation of phospholipase A2. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin inhibited the stimulation of PGE2 production and 3H radioactivity release, while the elevation in cytosolic Ca2+ and the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate were not altered by toxin-pretreatment. The addition of an unhydrolyzable analog of GTP, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S) to the beta-escin-permeabilized cells prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid enhanced the release of 3H radioactivity. The simultaneous presence of bradykinin with GTP gamma S further activated the 3H radioactivity release in the beta-escin-permeabilized cells. These results provide evidence that receptors for bradykinin in the MC3T3-E1 couple stimulating arachidonate release, probably via the activation of phospholipase A2, through a guanine nucleotide binding protein sensitive to pertussis toxin.

Bradykinin, kallidin (Lys-bradykinin) and [Thi 5,8, D-Phe7]-bradykinin, a functional B2 antagonist, induce histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells. The histamine release is dependent upon added calcium when mast cells are placed in calcium-free medium 30 min before being triggered with the kinins. Histamine release was dose-dependently inhibited by pertussis toxin (1-100 ng/ml) and by benzalkonium chloride (0.1-3 micrograms/ml). The efficiency of ionophore A23187 on histamine release was affected neither by pertussis toxin nor by benzalkonium chloride. The parallel response of rat peritoneal mast cells to kinins and to substance P suggest that these peptides have the same mechanisms of action i.e. activation of a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein and of phospholipase C defining a peptidergic triggering pathway of mast cells.

The level of cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and the production rate of prostacyclin were simultaneously measured in perfused monolayers of cultured vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells. After loading of fura-2 (a fluorescent calcium indicator), the monolayer of VSM cells (cultured on a cover glass) was fixed in the perfusion cuvette and the cuvette was placed in a fluorometer to monitor the change in [Ca2+]i. The monolayer was perfused and the fractionated perfusion solution was collected to determine 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (a metabolite of prostacyclin) production found in the solution. Afterwards, the time-dependent changes in [Ca2+]i and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis were compared. Bradykinin (BK, 10(-6) M), angiotensin (Ang) II (10(-7) M) as well as ionomycin (10(-6) M) induced simultaneous increases in [Ca2+]i and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production. An inhibitor against prostaglandin synthesis, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, 10(-6) M) abolished BK-induced 6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis, whereas ASA did not affect the increase in [Ca2+]i. BK-induced increases in [Ca2+]i and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha production occurred in a dose-dependent manner and the half-maximal response was observed at the same concentration of BK (10(-7) M). These results indicate that an increase in [Ca2+]i is closely associated with BK as well as AngII-induced prostacyclin synthesis. It is suggested that an increase in [Ca2+]i plays a prior role in prostacyclin synthesis. Thus, an interaction between phospholipase A2 (prostaglandin synthesis) and phospholipase C (inositol trisphosphate-Ca2+ mobilization) is suggested.

Long-term ethanol exposure is known to inhibit bradykinin-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis in cultures of neuroblastoma x glioma 108-15 cells. In the present study, [3H]bradykinin binding, GTP-binding protein function, and phospholipase C activity were assayed in cells grown for 4 days in 100 mM ethanol with the aim of elucidating the molecular target of ethanol on signal transduction coupled to inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol formation. Ethanol exposure reduced guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) [GTP(S)]- and, to a lesser extent, NaF/AlCl3-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, whereas it had no effect on the enzymatic activity of a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-specific phospholipase C. [3H]Bradykinin binding in the absence of GTP(S) was not influenced by ethanol exposure. However, the reduction in [3H]bradykinin binding seen in control cells after addition of GTP analogue was inhibited in cells grown in ethanol-containing medium. The results indicate that long-term ethanol exposure exerts its effects on receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis primarily at the level of the GTP-binding protein.

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.

Extracellular ATP and UTP produced a rapid accumulation of inositol phosphates in human airway epithelial cells (CF/T43). The order of agonist potencies for a series of nucleotide analogues differed markedly from that of the classically described P2x- or P2y-purinergic receptors. UTP was the most potent agonist and was fully efficacious; ATP and adenosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) were also full agonists. In contrast, 2-methylthio-ATP, adenosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) and alpha,beta-methylene-ATP were without effect. ADP and UDP had little or no effect at concentrations as high as 100 microM, and deoxyribose and dideoxyribose compounds were inactive. The effects of ATP and UTP were not additive, whereas bradykinin- or histamine-stimulated inositol phosphate production was additive with the effects of ATP or UTP. Preincubation of cells with either UTP or ATP resulted in a parallel loss of responsiveness to both agonists. Desensitization was specific for the response to nucleotides, because no ATP- or UTP-induced effect on the response to histamine or bradykinin was observed. Pertussis toxin treatment of CF/T43 cells produced a 30-40% decrease in the response to ATP or UTP, which correlated with the ADP-ribosylation of 41- and 43-kDa proteins. Bradykinin and histamine responses were not modified by pertussis toxin. Guanine nucleotides had little effect on the inositol phosphate response in intact CF/T43 cells at concentrations below 100 microM. However, in streptolysin-O-permeabilized cells GTP-gamma S produced a concentration-dependence activation of inositol phosphate formation. UTP or ATP had little effect in permeabilized cells in the absence of guanine nucleotides but markedly increased inositol phosphate formation in the presence of guanine nucleotides. Taken together, these results suggest that UTP and ATP activate a 5'-nucleotide receptor on CF/T43 cells that is distinct from the classically defined P2x- and P2y-purinergic receptors. Activation of phospholipase C by this receptor involves, at least in part, a guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein.
