1. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were transiently transfected with the mouse prostacyclin (mIP) receptor to examine IP agonist-mediated stimulation of [(3)H]-cyclic AMP and [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production. 2. The prostacyclin analogues, cicaprost, iloprost, carbacyclin and prostaglandin E(1), stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity with EC(50) values of 5, 6, 25 and 95 nM, respectively. These IP agonists also stimulated the phospholipase C pathway with 10 - 40 fold lower potency than stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. 3. The non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics, octimibate, BMY 42393 and BMY 45778, also stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity, with EC(50) values of 219, 166 and 398 nM, respectively, but failed to stimulate [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production. 4. Octimibate, BMY 42393 and BMY 45778 inhibited iloprost-stimulated [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production in a non-competitive manner. 5. Activation of the endogenously-expressed P(2) purinergic receptor by ATP led to an increase in [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production which was inhibited by the non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics in non-transfected CHO cells. Prostacyclin analogues and other prostanoid receptor ligands failed to inhibit ATP-stimulated [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production. 6. A comparison between the IP receptor-specific non-prostanoid ONO-1310 and the structurally-related EP(3) receptor-specific agonist ONO-AP-324, indicated that the inhibitory effect of non-prostanoids was specific for those compounds known to activate IP receptors. 7. The non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics also inhibited phospholipase C activity when stimulated by constitutively-active mutant Galpha(q)RC, Galpha(14)RC and Galpha(16)QL transiently expressed in CHO cells. These drugs did not inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity when stimulated by the constitutively-active mutant Galpha(s)QL. 8. These results suggest that non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics can specifically inhibit [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production by targeting G(q/11) and/or phospholipase C in CHO cells, and that this effect is independent of IP receptors.

In PC-Cl3 rat thyroid cell line, ATP and UTP provoked a transient increase in [Ca(2+)](i), followed by a lower sustained phase. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) reduced the initial transient response and completely abolished the plateau phase. Thapsigargin (TG) caused a rapid rise in [Ca(2+)](i) and subsequent addition of ATP was without effect. The transitory activation of [Ca(2+)](i) was dose-dependently attenuated in cells pretreated with the specific inhibitor of phospholipase C (PLC), U73122. These data suggest that the ATP-stimulated increment of [Ca(2+)](i) required InsP(3) formation and binding to its specific receptors in Ca(2+) stores. Desensitisation was demonstrated with respect to the calcium response to ATP and UTP in Fura 2-loaded cells. Further studies were performed to investigate whether the effect of ATP on Ca(2+) entry into PC-Cl3 cells was via L-type voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (L-VDCC) and/or by the capacitative pathway. Nifedipine decreased ATP-induced increase on [Ca(2+)](i). Addition of 2 mM Ca(2+) induced a [Ca(2+)](i) rise after pretreatment of the cells with TG or with 100 microM ATP in Ca(2+)-free medium. These data indicate that Ca(2+) entry into PC-Cl3 stimulated with ATP occurs through both an L-VDCC and through a capacitative pathway. Using buffers with differing Na(+) concentrations, we found that the effects of ATP were dependent of extracellular Na(+), suggesting that a Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange mechanism is also operative. These data suggest the existence, in PC-Cl3 cell line, of a P2Y purinergic receptor able to increase the [Ca(2+)](i) via PLC activation, Ca(2+) store depletion, capacitative Ca(2+) entry and L-VDCC activation.

Exogenous ATP stimulated phospholipase D (PLD), but not sphingomyelinase in rat submandibular gland (SMG) acini. PLD activation was dependent upon extracellular Ca(2+) and did not involve intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization or phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activation. ATP-stimulated PLD was attenuated by inhibition or downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC). PLD activation was fully blocked by the cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) inhibitor ONO-RS-082 and partially attenuated by the selective Ca(2+)-dependent cytosolic PLA(2) inhibitor, arachidonyl trifluoromethylketone (AACOCF(3)), or by bromoenol lactone, an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-independent cytosolic PLA(2). Magnesium, which decreases the concentration of ATP(4-), and nickel, which blocks nonspecific cation channels coupled to purinergic receptors, inhibited PLD activation by ATP. Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Northern blotting techniques, we demonstrated that the PLD isoform stimulated by ATP was PLD-2. Among various ATP analogs, only the P2Z/P2X(7) purinergic receptor agonist benzoyl-benzoyl ATP stimulated PLD-2. The response to ATP was inhibited by the nonselective P2X purinergic antagonist suramin and by oxidized ATP, a potent P2Z/P2X(7) receptor antagonist. It is concluded that in rat SMG acinar cells, PLD-2 is upregulated by exogenous ATP through a mechanism involving Ca(2+) influx, cytosolic PLA(2), and PKC. Also, the data suggest an involvement of P2X(7) receptors in PLD-2 stimulation by ATP.

The mechanisms involved in autocrine ATP release from cultured astrocytes isolated from the rat cortex were investigated using an online bioluminescence technique. Astrocytes released ATP in response to application of 10 microM uridine triphosphate, which was blocked by the non-specific purinergic receptor antagonist suramin. Intracellular pathways of the uridine triphosphate-stimulated ATP release were seen to involve inositol triphosphate and calcium with the assistance of the Golgi-complex and cytoskeleton as the release was inhibited by phospholipase C antagonist lithium, endoplasmic reticulum calcium-dependent ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin, F-actin interruptor cytochalasin D and Golgi-complex interruptor brefeldin A. The uridine triphosphate-stimulated ATP release was also potently blocked by exocytosis inhibitor botulinum toxin A and anion transporter blockers furosemide and glibenclamide. These results suggest that calcium-dependent exocytosis and transportation via anion transporters are the predominant secretion mechanisms for uridine triphosphate-stimulated ATP release from cortical astrocytes.

PRIP-1 was isolated as a novel inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] binding protein with a domain organization similar to phospholipase C-delta1 (PLC-delta1) but lacking the enzymatic activity. Further studies revealed that the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of PRIP-1 is the region responsible for binding Ins(1,4,5)P3. In this study we aimed to clarify the role of PRIP-1 at the physiological concentration in Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated Ca2+ signaling, as we had previously used COS-1 cells overexpressing PRIP-1 (Takeuchi et al., 2000, Biochem J 349:357-368). For this purpose we employed PRIP-1 knock out (PRIP-1-/-) mice generated previously (Kanematsu et al., 2002, EMBO J 21:1004-1011). The increase in free Ca2+ concentration in response to purinergic receptor stimulation was lower in primary cultured cortical neurons prepared from PRIP-1-/- mice than in those from wild type mice. The relative amounts of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 measured in neurons labeled with [3H]inositol was also lower in cells from PRIP-1-/- mice. In contrast, PLC activities in brain cortex samples from PRIP-1-/- mice were not different from those in the wild type mice, indicating that the hydrolysis of Ins(1,4,5)P3 is enhanced in cells from PRIP-1-/- mice. In vitro analyses revealed that type1 inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase physically interacted with a PH domain of PRIP-1 (PRIP-1PH) and its enzyme activity was inhibited by PRIP-1PH. However, physical interaction with these two proteins did not appear to be the reason for the inhibition of enzyme activity, indicating that binding of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to the PH domain prevented its hydrolyzation. Together, these results indicate that PRIP-1 plays an important role in regulating the Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated Ca2+ signaling by modulating type1 inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase activity through binding to Ins(1,4,5)P3.

The pancreatic hormone glucagon hyperpolarizes the liver cell membrane. In the present study, we investigated the cellular signalling pathway of glucagon-induced hyperpolarization of liver cells by using the conventional microelectrode method. The membrane potential was recorded in superficial liver cells of superfused mouse liver slices. In the presence of the K+ channel blockers tetraethylammonium (TEA, 1 mmol/l) and Ba2+ (BaCl2, 5 mmol/l) and the blocker of the Na+/K+ ATPase, ouabain (1 mmol/l), no glucagon-induced hyperpolarization was observed confirming previous findings. The hyperpolarizing effect of glucagon was abolished by the leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist CP 195543 (0.1 mmol/l) and the purinergic receptor antagonist PPADS (5 micromol/l). ATPgammaS (10 micromol/l), a non-hydrolyzable ATP analogue, induced a hyperpolarization of the liver cell membrane similar to glucagon. U 73122 (1 micromol/l), a blocker of phospholipase C, prevented both the glucagon- and ATPgammaS-induced hyperpolarization. These findings suggest that glucagon affects the hepatic membrane potential partly by inducing the formation and release of leukotrienes and release of ATP acting on purinergic receptors of the liver cell membrane.

The endocannabinoid anandamide is able to interact with the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels at a molecular level. As yet, endogenously produced anandamide has not been shown to activate TRPV1, but this is of importance to understand the physiological function of this interaction. Here, we show that intracellular Ca2+ mobilization via the purinergic receptor agonist ATP, the muscarinic receptor agonist carbachol or the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin leads to formation of anandamide, and subsequent TRPV1-dependent Ca2+ influx in transfected cells and sensory neurons of rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Anandamide metabolism and efflux from the cell tonically limit TRPV1-mediated Ca2+ entry. In DRG neurons, this mechanism was found to lead to TRPV1-mediated currents that were enhanced by selective blockade of anandamide cellular efflux. Thus, endogenous anandamide is formed on stimulation of metabotropic receptors coupled to the phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate pathway and then signals to TRPV1 channels. This novel intracellular function of anandamide may precede its action at cannabinoid receptors, and might be relevant to its control over neurotransmitter release.

Heterotrimeric GTP-binding (G) proteins transduce hormone-induced signals to their effector enzymes, which include several phospholipases. In particular, the G(o)/G(i) and G(q) protein families have been shown to couple signaling to phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), phospholipase C, and phospholipase D, while the G(12)/G(13) family has been linked to the activation of small GTPases of the Rho family, and hence, to phospholipase D activation. Here, we demonstrate that in CHO cells, the G(12)/G(13) family is also able to activate cPLA(2)alpha, through the activation of RhoA and, subsequently, ERK1/2. Hormone-induced arachidonic acid release increased as a consequence of Galpha(13) overexpression, and was inhibited through inhibition of Galpha(13) signaling. The Galpha(13)-mediated cPLA(2)alpha activation was inhibited by pharmacological blockade of ERK1/2 with either U0126 or PD98059, and by RhoA inactivation with C3 toxin or a dominant-negative RhoA (N19RhoA), and was stimulated by the serine-threonine phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A. Our data thus identify a pathway of cPLA(2)alpha regulation that is initiated by thrombin and purinergic receptor activation, and that signals through Galpha(13), RhoA and ERK1/2, with the involvement of a calyculin-sensitive phosphatase.

Uterine artery endothelial cells (UAEC) derived from pregnant (P-UAEC) and nonpregnant (NP-UAEC) ewes retain pregnancy-specific differences in cell signaling as well as vasodilator production through passage 4. In particular, when P- and NP-UAEC are stimulated with ATP over a 2.5 min recording period, they exhibit similar initial transient peaks in the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), but the P-UAEC show a heightened sustained phase. In order to establish whether this was due to an altered subclass of purinergic receptor (P2), both the dose dependency of [Ca(2+)](i) responses to ADP and UTP and the profile of purinergic receptor expression are determined in NP- and P-UAEC. Our findings indicate that while several isoforms of P2X and P2Y receptors are present, it is P2Y2 that is responsible for the ATP-induced initial transient peak in both cell types. We also characterized several key components of the ATP-induced Ca(2+) signaling cascade, including the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor and G-proteins, but could not confirm any pregnancy-specific variation in the protein expression that correlated with pregnancy-specific differences in prolonged Ca(2+) signaling. We thus investigated whether such a difference may be inherent to the cell itself rather than specific to the purinergic receptor-signaling pathway. Using thapsigargin (Tg), we were able to demonstrate that the initial Tg-sensitive intracellular pool of Ca(2+)is nearly identical with the capacity in both cell types, but the P-UAEC is nonetheless capable of greater capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) than NP-UAEC. Furthermore, CCE induced by Tg could be dramatically inhibited by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, suggesting a role for store-operated channels in the ATP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) response. We conclude that changes at the level of capacitative entry mechanisms rather than switching of receptor subtype or coupling to phospholipase C underlies pregnancy adaptation of UAEC at the level of Ca(2+)signaling.

G protein-coupled receptors mediate cell responses to extracellular stimuli and likely function in the context of a larger signal transduction complex. Utilizing the third intracellular loop of a G protein-coupled receptor in glutathione S-transferase pulldown assays from rat brain lysates coupled with high sensitivity detection methods and subsequent functional studies, we report the identification of SET as a regulator of muscarinic receptor signaling. SET is a putative oncogene reported to inhibit protein phosphatase 2A and regulate gene transcription. SET binds the carboxyl region of the M3-muscarinic receptor i3 loop, and endogenous SET co-immunoprecipitates with intact M3 muscarinic receptor expressed in cells. Small interfering RNA knockdown of endogenous SET in Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the M3 muscarinic receptor augmented receptor-mediated mobilization of intracellular calcium by approximately 35% with no change in agonist EC(50), indicating that interaction of SET with the M3 muscarinic receptor reduces its signaling capacity. SET knockdown had no effect on the mobilization of intracellular calcium by the P2-purinergic receptor, ionomycin, or a direct activator of phospholipase C, indicating a specific regulation of M3 muscarinic receptor signaling. These data provide expanded functionality for SET and a previously unrecognized mechanism for regulation of GPCR signaling capacity.
