Earlier studies have shown that bradykinin stimulated release of catecholamines from chromaffin cells by an influx of calcium through dihydropyridine-insensitive channels, and also that bradykinin stimulated (poly)phosphoinositide hydrolysis. To investigate membrane-bound second messengers in chromaffin cells, and to elucidate any role these may play in stimulus-secretion coupling, we have studied the influence of bradykinin on diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid (PA). Using equilibrium labelling of primary cultures of chromaffin cells with [3H]arachidonic acid or [3H]glycerol, we found no influence of bradykinin (10 nM) on labelled diacylglycerol formation, either in the presence or absence of inhibitors of diacylglycerol lipase or kinase. However, when we used cells prelabelled with 32Pi for 2.5 h, we found that bradykinin produced a substantial stimulation of label found in PA, with an EC50 value of about 1 nM. This bradykinin stimulation of [32P]PA formation was only partially dependent on extracellular calcium, in contrast to the smaller response to nicotine, which was completely dependent on extracellular calcium. Short (10 min) pretreatment with tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA) almost completely eliminated the bradykinin-stimulated formation of inositol phosphates, but failed to affect bradykinin stimulation of label in PA, suggesting that PA production in response to bradykinin is not downstream of phospholipase C activation. TPA alone failed to stimulate [32P]PA substantially, whereas long-term (24 or 48 h) treatment with TPA failed to attenuate the response to bradykinin. Diacylglycerol kinase inhibitors were also without effect on the bradykinin stimulation of [32P]PA. These results suggest that bradykinin stimulates PA production by a mechanism independent of the activation of protein kinase C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Using primary cultures of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells labelled with 32Pi, we show that stimulation with bradykinin, nicotine, or a depolarising concentration of potassium stimulates the accumulation of [32P]phosphatidic acid. The effects of nicotine and potassium are smaller than the effect of bradykinin, and are dependent entirely on extracellular calcium. The diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R 59 022 attenuates the formation of phosphatidic acid by nicotine and depolarising concentrations of potassium. This inhibitor also blocks the nicotine and potassium stimulation of noradrenaline release from chromaffin cells. Using 45Ca2+ influx studies, we show that the nicotine-evoked calcium influx is also attenuated by R 59 022. These observations contrast with those in another report in which we showed that bradykinin stimulation of either [32P]phosphatidic acid accumulation or noradrenaline release is not affected by R 59 022. It is likely that the calcium influx produced by nicotine and depolarising potassium is blocked by R 59 022 by a mechanism that is independent of its ability to block diacylglycerol kinase. The nicotine- and potassium-stimulated [32P]phosphatidic acid accumulation is a consequence of this calcium influx and presumably reflects calcium activation of either phospholipase C or phospholipase D.

The effects of epidermal growth factor on Ca2+ signaling in A431 cells were investigated. Epidermal growth factor induced a transient Ca2+ signal in the absence of external Ca2+ and a sustained response in the presence of extracellular Ca2+, indicating an ability to mobilize intracellular Ca2+ as well as the ability to increase Ca2+ entry from the extracellular space. The Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin also activated Ca2+ entry, and neither epidermal growth factor nor the guanine nucleotide-dependent protein-linked receptor agonist bradykinin activated additional Ca2+ entry over that due to thapsigargin. In nominally Ca(2+)-free medium, the addition of bradykinin to A431 cells rapidly but transiently increased inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and, in parallel fashion, transiently increased cytosolic Ca2+. Unexpectedly, under these experimental conditions, epidermal growth factor elicited a small but significant Ca2+ signal after the addition of bradykinin. Experiments were designed to determine whether the Ca2+ response to epidermal growth factor after bradykinin results from mobilization of Ca2+ by an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-independent mechanism. Epidermal growth factor stimulated additional inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation in bradykinin-treated cells. Furthermore, the Ca2+ signals elicited by both bradykinin and epidermal growth factor were blocked in cells microinjected with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor antagonist heparin, whereas the intracellular Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin still mobilized Ca2+. Finally, histamine, a less efficacious guanine nucleotide-dependent protein-linked receptor agonist, as well as photolyzed, microinjected, caged inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, also mobilized Ca2+ after bradykinin. The results of this study show (i) that epidermal growth factor activates intracellular Ca2+ release as well as Ca2+ entry, the latter most likely resulting from an indirect effect due to the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ pools, (ii) that the actions of epidermal growth factor on Ca2+ homeostasis can be fully accounted for by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation, and (iii) that the ability of A431 cells to produce Ca2+ signals when epidermal growth factor is applied after bradykinin can be explained by the rapid and complete desensitization of the bradykinin stimulated phospholipase C activity.

The influence of acute and chronic ethanol exposures on the coupling of neurotensin and bradykinin receptors to phospholipase C was determined in intact N1E-115 cells. Phospholipase C was monitored by the formation of total [3H]inositol phosphates in the presence of lithium in cells prelabeled with [3H]inositol. Acute exposure to ethanol over a range of 50 to 200 mM inhibited the stimulation of [3H]inositol phosphate formation elicited by neurotensin and bradykinin. In cells chronically exposed to 100 mM ethanol for 7 days, neither basal- nor neurotensin-stimulated [3H]inositol phosphate formation differed significantly from those of control (untreated) cells. In contrast, the [3H]inositol response to bradykinin was significantly inhibited in cells chronically exposed to ethanol. Because chronic ethanol exposure had no parallel effects on either the specific binding of [3H]bradykinin or the stimulation of [3H]inositol phosphate formation by the stable GTP analog, guanine 5'-(y-thiotriphosphate), it is suggested that chronic ethanol impairs the ability of bradykinin receptors to activate the guanine nucleotide binding protein associated with phospholipase C. In addition, because chronic ethanol had no effect on the inositol phosphate response to neurotensin, it is proposed that certain types of receptor-guanine nucleotide binding protein interactions are more vulnerable than are others to disruption by chronic ethanol treatment.

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.

The effects of the neuropeptide bradykinin (BK) and its natural proteolytic fragment Des-Arg9 bradykinin (DBK) on DNA synthesis and phospholipase C activation were investigated in cultured mesangial cells. DBK, acting through a distinct bradykinin receptor, induced DNA synthesis in serum-starved cultured mesangial cells. The effect of DBK was dose dependent (ED50 = 0.6 microM) and was strongly potentiated by insulin. Under the same conditions, BK had no effect. Down-regulation of protein kinase C by long term pretreatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) markedly reduced DBK-induced DNA synthesis. In the same way, co-incubation with the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine potently attenuated the response to DBK, suggesting a role of protein kinase C in DBK-induced mitogenesis. Analysis of phosphoproteins from 32P-labeled mesangial cells by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that DBK, like TPA but not BK, induced a net increase in the phosphorylation of an acidic cellular protein migrating with an apparent Mr = 80,000 (termed 80K), identified as a major and specific substrate of protein kinase C. Phosphorylation of the 80K protein by DBK or TPA was completely abolished in cells depleted of protein kinase C. DBK and TPA also induced an increase in phosphorylation of an Mr = 28,000 protein. Moreover, DBK but not TPA stimulated the phosphorylation of an Mr = 18,000 protein in normal as well as in protein kinase C-depleted cells. Analysis of phospholipase C activation revealed that DBK induced a large and sustained increase in diacylglycerol production and inositol phosphate accumulation over a 10-min incubation. BK had only a minor effect on both parameters. These results demonstrate that DBK, but not BK, modulates DNA synthesis through protein kinase C activation in cultured mesangial cells.

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.

1. We have investigated the modification of catecholamine efflux and inositol phosphate formation in cultured adrenal chromaffin cells by tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) and inhibitors of diacylglycerol kinase (R 59,022) and diacylglycerol lipase (RG 80267), the two principal pathways of diacylglycerol metabolism. 2. TPA (1 nM to 1 microM) elicited a slow, calcium-dependent, sustained release of noradrenaline, which was partially blocked by the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (-)-202,791 and potentiated by the channel enhancer (+)-202,791. 3. R 59,022 enhanced noradrenaline efflux at 30 and 50 microM, while the lipase inhibitor RG 80267 failed to elicit release. 4. Neither R 59,022 nor RG 80267 affected bradykinin- or histamine-stimulated release, but both drugs substantially attenuated nicotine- and high K(+)-stimulated release. 5. Pretreatment for 10 min with TPA (but not the relatively inactive 4-methoxy TPA) or the non-phorbol protein kinase C stimulator mezerein potently inhibited bradykinin- and histamine-stimulated accumulation of total [3H]-inositol phosphate; inhibition of [3H]-inositol phosphate formation was also seen with 24 h TPA treatment. 6. Neither R 59,022 nor RG 80267, separately or together, affected bradykinin-stimulated [3H]-inositol phosphate formation. 7. Thus while the mechanism exists for inhibition of formation of inositol phosphates by stimulation of protein kinase C, these studies failed to show that this mechanism is activated by agonists acting on phospholipase C linked receptors.

As a continuation of our efforts to understand leukotriene biosynthesis mechanisms, we have studied the effect on RBL-1 cells of a series of phospholipase C (PLC) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activators including calcium ionophore (A23187), leukotriene D4 (LTD4), PAF, fMLP and bradykinin. LTD4 and A23187 (the latter only at 20 microM concentration and only after a 45 min incubation time) were shown to induce phosphoinositide (PI) breakdown, whilst A23187 induced leukotriene biosynthesis. For the first time it was shown that cAMP analogues markedly inhibit LTD4-induced IP formation. Moreover, the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor AA861 abolished the ionophore-induced PI breakdown, thus suggesting that this effect is a novel example of PLC activation following PLA2 activation and 5-lipoxygenase-derived metabolite production.

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.
