Angiotensin II (AII) interacts with specific receptors in the adrenal glomerulosa cell and stimulates the hydrolysis of plasma membrane phosphoinositides by phospholipase C, with production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) and subsequent mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. In electrically permeabilized, [3H]inositol-labeled glomerulosa cells, AII stimulated Ins-1,4,5-P3 production within 15 s with half-maximal potency of 10(-9) M. The nonhydrolyzable GTP analog, guanosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S), stimulated Ins-1,4,5-P3 formation in a dose-dependent manner with half-maximal effect at 10(-7) M. AII-activated Ins-1,4,5-P3 production was further increased by guanine nucleotides. The rate at which GTP gamma S-stimulated inositol polyphosphate production was consistently slower than that of AII. In adrenal membrane preparations, GTP gamma S-stimulated polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis was enhanced by Ca2+, with half-maximal activity at 300 nM free Ca2+. Ins-1,4,5-P3 formation was also increased by NaF, further indicating the involvement of a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. In addition to Ins-1,4,5-P3 and its metabolites formed during degradation via the 4-monophosphate pathway, AII and GTP gamma S stimulated the formation of the phosphorylated metabolite inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate in permeabilized cells. The absence of a significant rise in inositol 1-monophosphate indicated that phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis was not stimulated by AII or GTP gamma S. Pretreatment of glomerulosa cells with pertussis toxin for 12 h before permeabilization did not inhibit AII- or GTP gamma S-stimulated inositol polyphosphate formation. However, treatment with cholera toxin, forskolin, or 8-Br-cAMP for 12 h enhanced both basal and ligand-stimulated Ins-1,4,5-P3 production. These observations suggest that agonist binding to the AII receptor activates a polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in the adrenal glomerulosa cell, and that a distinctive guanine regulatory protein is involved in this mechanism.

The ability of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and angiotensin II to stimulate production of inositol trisphosphate and mobilize intracellular Ca2+ in hepatocytes was compared using quin2 fluorescence to monitor changes in Ca2+ levels and high performance liquid chromatography to resolve the inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) isomers. Both EGF and angiotensin II stimulated an increase in free intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) as well as a rapid increase in the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3). Concentrations of angiotensin II which gave a rise in [Ca2+]i equivalent to that seen with maximal doses of EGF produced an equivalent increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation. Both EGF and angiotensin II stimulated the formation of the Ins(1,3,4)P3 and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate isomers. The formation of the Ins(1,3,4)P3 isomer lagged behind production of Ins(1,4,5)P3 but eventually reached higher levels in the cell. The initial rise in [Ca2+]i and InsP3 levels stimulated by EGF and angiotensin II was not affected by reducing the external Ca2+ concentration below 30 nM with an excess of [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)] tetraacetic acid. Treatment of hepatocytes for 30-180 s with 1 micrograms/ml phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate prior to the addition of EGF blocked the EGF-stimulated production of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the increase in [Ca2+]i. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate attenuated the production of Ins(1,4,5)P3 generated by angiotensin II over the concentration range of 10(-10) to 10(-8) M; however, the Ca2+ signal was only inhibited at the 10(-10) M dose of angiotensin II. Treatment of rats with pertussis toxin for 72 h prior to isolating hepatocytes blocked the ability of EGF to increase Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4)P3 but did not inhibit the ability of any concentration of angiotensin II to stimulate formation of InsP3 or inositol tetrakisphosphate. The observation that pertussis toxin selectively abolishes EGF-stimulated inositol lipid breakdown suggests that EGF and angiotensin II use different mechanisms to activate phospholipase C in hepatocytes.

Chromatography of the soluble porcine lymphocyte phospholipase C on cellulose phosphate resolves the activity into two species. An HPLC method is described for separating the enzyme products, Ins 1,2 greater than P and Ins 1P. Use of these methods reveals that the two iso-enzymes liberate, with a high degree of reproducibility, characteristic ratios of the two products. This suggests that the amount of each product produced is an inherent property of the enzyme mechanism.

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulates hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2) by a phospholipase C (or phosphodiesterase) and elevates cytoplasmic-free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in GH3 pituitary cells. To explore whether hydrolysis of PtdIns-4,5-P2 is secondary to the elevation of [Ca2+]i, we studied the effects of Ca2+ ionophores, A23187 and ionomycin. In cells prelabeled with [3H]myoinositol, A23187 caused a rapid decrease in the levels of [3H]PtdIns-4,5-P2, [3H]PtdIns-4-P, and [3H]PtdIns to 88 +/- 2%, 88 +/- 4%, and 86 +/- 1% of control, respectively, and increased [3H]inositol bisphosphate to 200 +/- 20% at 0.5 min. There was no increase in [3H] Ins-P3; the lack of a measurable increase in [3H]Ins-P3 was not due to its rapid dephosphorylation. In cells prelabeled with [14C]stearic acid, A23187 increased [14C]diacylglycerol and [14C]phosphatidic acid to 166 +/- 20% and 174 +/- 17% of control, respectively. In cells prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid, A23187, but not TRH, increased unesterified [3H]arachidonic acid to 166 +/- 8% of control. Similar effects were observed with ionomycin. Hence, Ca2+ ionophores stimulate phosphodiesteratic hydrolysis of PtdIns-4-P but not of PtdIns-4,5-P2 and elevate the level of unesterified arachidonic acid in GH3 cells. These data demonstrate that Ca2+ ionophores affect phosphoinositide metabolism differently than TRH and suggest that TRH stimulation of PtdIns-4,5-P2 hydrolysis is not secondary to the elevation of [Ca2+]i.

The regulation of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) hydrolysis by Ca2+ and protein kinase C (PKC) was measured in [3H]palmitate-labelled cultured guinea-pig airway smooth-muscle cells as phosphatidylbutanol ([3H]PtdBut) and phosphatidate ([3H]PtdOH) formation in the presence of butanol. The former is a direct measure of phospholipase D (PLD) activity, whereas the latter, in airway smooth muscle, is indicative of net PtdCho-specific phospholipase C (PLC)-like/diacylglycerol (DG) kinase activity. Bradykinin-stimulated responses exhibited a requirement for extracellular Ca2+ influx, since they were inhibited in the presence of EGTA. This influx was independent of voltage-operated channels, since the L-type channel blocker nifedipine (up to 10 microM) was without effect on bradykinin-stimulated responses. In support of this, membrane depolarization with KCl (30 mM) failed to elicit either response. However, bradykinin-stimulated formation of both [3H]PtdBut and [3H]PtdOH was partially inhibited by 100 microM SKF96365. Ionomycin, a Ca2+ ionophore, induced PtdCho hydrolysis to a greater extent than bradykinin, also in an extracellular-Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Thapsigargin-induced emptying of intracellular Ca2+ pools elicited the formation of both [3H]PtdBut and [3H]PtdOH and displayed a requirement for extracellular Ca2+. Bradykinin-stimulated PtdCho-specific PLC-like/DG kinase pathway and PLD responses were unaffected by thapsigargin pretreatment, thereby questioning the role of Ins(1,4,5)P3/Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-dependent Ca2+ stores in the receptor stimulation of these activities in airway smooth-muscle cells. In this regard, we have previously demonstrated that the bradykinin-stimulated PtdCho-specific PLD and PLC-like activities can occur under conditions of apparent complete blockade of bradykinin-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation by receptor antagonist in guinea-pig airway smooth muscle. The PKC inhibitor, Ro31-8220, selectively blocked both bradykinin- and ionomycin-stimulated PLD activity in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 approx. 1 microM), but was without effect on bradykinin-stimulated PtdCho-PLC-like/DG kinase-derived PtdOH formation. In contrast, an inhibitor of PtdCho-PLC, D609, selectively blocked the formation of [3H]PtdOH in the presence of butanol (PtdCho-PLC-like/DG kinase activity), but not [3H]PtdBut formation. In conclusion, PtdCho hydrolysis appears to occur via two distinguishable routes which both require extracellular Ca2+, whereas only the PLD route is regulated by PKC.

Angiotensin II (AII) evokes a biphasic increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) levels in adrenal glomerulosa cells, with an extracellular Ca(2+)-independent early peak followed by a secondary sustained elevation that is highly dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+. The Ca(2+)-dependent sustained phase of agonist-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 production was closely correlated with Ca2+ influx and was inhibited by inorganic Ca2+ channel blockers with the potency ratio: La3+ >> Cd2+ > Mn2+ > Co2+ > Ni2+. Of the two Ca2+ surrogates, Sr2+ and Ba2+, Sr2+ was partially active compared with Ca2+, and Ba2+ was inactive in restoring Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation in cells stimulated with AII in Ca(2+)-free medium. However, unlike Ca2+, Sr2+ only weakly supported and Ba2+ failed to affect the calmodulin-activation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase. Also, there was an accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and diminished formation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and Ins(1,3,4)P3 when intact glomerulosa cells were stimulated by AII in the presence of Sr2+. This difference between the Sr2+ sensitivity of phospholipase C and Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase provides a means for the potentiation of agonist-induced elevations of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the intact cell and for direct analysis of the role of the inositol tris-/tetrakisphosphate pathway in cellular signaling.

In the renal medulla during antidiuresis, the extracellular fluid becomes hyperosmotic. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells adapt in hyperosmotic conditions and serve as a useful tissue culture model for cellular responses to hyperosmolality. We demonstrate that hyperosmolality stimulates phospholipase C, Raf-1 kinase mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase, MAP kinase, and S6 kinase activities and that it increases phosphorylation of Raf-1 kinase, and p42 MAP kinase in MDCK cells. Stimulation of these kinases is osmolality-dependent (from 300 to 600 mosm/kg H2O). The time course of activation is sequential; the peak stimulation for Raf-1 kinase is at 5 min, at 10 min for MAP kinase kinase and MAP kinase, and at 20 min for S6 kinase. The activation of Raf-1 kinase and MAP kinase is inhibited by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate pretreatment in the presence of calphostin C or H-7. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (genistein, herbimycin) do not significantly suppress hyperosmolality-induced MAP kinase activity. The increase of Ins-1,4,5-P3 levels by hyperosmolality suggests that activation of these kinases is mediated at least partially via activation of phospholipase C. Thus, hyperosmolality stimulates the serine/threonine kinases, Raf-1 kinase, MAP kinase kinase, MAP kinase, and S6 kinase, via predominantly protein kinase C-dependent, tyrosine kinase-independent pathways in MDCK cells.

Histamine stimulation of bovine adrenal medullary cells rapidly activated phospholipase C. [3H]Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [[3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3] levels were transiently increased (200% of basal values between 1 and 5 s) before declining to a new steady-state level of approximately 140% of basal values. [3H]Inositol 1,4-bisphosphate [[3H]Ins(1,4)P2] content increased to a maximal and maintained level of 250% of basal values after 1 s, whereas levels of [3H]inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate [[3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3], [3H]inositol 1,3-bisphosphate, and [3H]inositol 4-monophosphate ([3H]Ins4P) increased more slowly. The rapid responses were not reduced by the removal of extracellular Ca2+, but they were no longer sustained over time. The turnover rates of selected inositol phosphate isomers have been estimated in the intact cell. [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 was rapidly metabolized (t1/2 of 11 s), whereas the other isomers were metabolized more slowly, with t1/2 values of 113, 133, 104, and 66 s for [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3, [3H]Ins(1,4)P2, an unresolved mixture of [3H]inositol 1- and 3-monophosphate ([3H]Ins1/3P), and [3H]Ins4P, respectively. The calculated turnover rate of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 was sufficient to account for the turnover of the combination of both [3H]Ins(1,4)P2 and [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 but not that of [3H]Ins1/3P or [3H]Ins4P. These observations demonstrate that histamine stimulation of these cells results in a complex Ca(2+)-dependent and -independent response that may involve the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids in addition to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate.

Stimulation of rat lacrimal acinar cells with ATP and acetylcholine (ACh) induced a rapid accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] and its degradation products, resulting in an initial release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. However, after pretreating the acini with U73122 no increase in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) or Ins(1,4,5)P3 production was observed. A short pretreatment with the phorbol ester 4-beta-phorbol-12-beta-myristate-13-alpha-acetate (PMA) significantly attenuated the ATP- and ACh-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and overall inositol phosphate production. In contrast, staurosporine enhanced Ins(1,4,5)P3 and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4)P3] production and [Ca2+]i above control values in ATP- and ACh-stimulated cells. Stimulation of phospholipase C by ionomycin-evoked changes in [Ca2+]i were unaltered by pretreatment with staurosporine and PMA. The data show that a change in protein kinase C activity during cell stimulation affects the inositol phosphate metabolism and thereby the cellular Ca2+ signalling processes in lacrimal acinar cells.

A potent platelet aggregation inducer, aggretin, was purified from Malayan-pit-viper (Calloselasma rhodostoma) venom by ionic-exchange chromatography, gel-filtration chromatography and HPLC. It is a heterodimeric protein (29 kDa) devoid of esterase, phospholipase A and thrombin-like activity. Aggretin (> 5 nM) elicited platelet aggregation with a lag period in both human platelet-rich plasma and washed platelet suspension. EDTA (5 mM), prostaglandin E1 (1 microM) and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid 8-(diethylamino)octyl ester ('TMB-8'; 100 microM) abolished its aggregating activity, indicating that exogenous bivalent cations and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization are essential for aggretin-induced platelet aggregation. Neomycin (4 mM) and mepacrine (50 microM) completely inhibited aggretin (33 nM)-induced aggregation; however, creatine phosphate/creatine phosphokinase (5 mM, 5 units/ml) and indomethacin (50 microM) did not significantly affect its aggregating activity. Aggretin caused a significant increase of [3H]InsP formation in [3H]Ins-loaded platelets, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and thromboxane B2 formation. Neomycin, a phospholipase C inhibitor, completely inhibited both the increase of [3H]InsP and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization of platelets stimulated by aggretin. A monoclonal antibody (6F1) directed against glycoprotein Ia/IIa inhibited platelet shape change and aggregation induced by aggretin. 125I-aggretin bound to platelets with a high affinity (Kd = 4.0 +/- 1.1 nM), and the number of binding sites was estimated to be 2119 +/- 203 per platelet. It is concluded that aggretin may act as a glycoprotein Ia/IIa agonist to elicit platelet aggregation through the activation of endogenous phospholipase C, leading to hydrolysis of phosphoinositides and subsequent intracellular Ca2+ mobilization.
