A permanent line of cells has been established from the transplantable rat pituitary tumor 7315a. P11 cells have been cloned repeatedly, and after more than 60 passages their growth and characteristics are stable. Results of radioligand binding studies with 125I-lysergic acid diethylamide (125I-LSD) indicate that P11 cells express serotonin-2 (5-HT2) receptors. Analysis of the binding of 125I-LSD to membranes prepared from P11 cells revealed the presence of a single class of high affinity sites (Kd = 1.6 nM; Bmax = 211 fmol/mg of protein). The pharmacological profile of the inhibition of the binding of 125I-LSD by a panel of drugs was consistent with the expected profile of these drugs at 5-HT2 receptors. The affinity of the site for serotonin was in the low micromolar range and was decreased by GTP. Phosphoinositide hydrolysis in P11 cells, measured in the presence of lithium, was stimulated by serotonin. Increasing concentrations of the 5-HT2-selective antagonist ketanserin blocked phosphoinositide hydrolysis stimulated by serotonin, and Schild analysis was consistent with a simple competitive interaction. The Ki for ketanserin derived from Schild analysis was comparable to the Ki for ketanserin at the binding site for 125I-LSD. These results suggest that stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in P11 cells by serotonin is mediated by 5-HT2 receptors. Pretreatment of P11 cells with pertussis toxin caused ADP-ribosylation of Gi and Go, but did not affect the ability of serotonin to stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Therefore, the guaninine nucleotide-binding protein involved in the coupling of 5-HT2 receptors to phospholipase C in P11 cells is unlikely to be either Gi or Go. P11 cells expressing 5-HT2 receptors coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis will be a useful model system for future studies of the regulation and function of 5-HT2 receptors on cultured cells.

Regulation of phospholipase C (PLC) coupled with a G-protein was studied with Swiss 3T3 cells permeabilized by digitonin. In permeabilized cells, activation of phospholipase C required millimolar concentrations of ATP in addition to a G-protein activator, AlF4- or nonhydrolysable GTP analogues. To determine the mechanism of the action of ATP, we examined the effects of ATP analogues. ATP gamma S directly activated phospholipase C in the presence or absence of AlF4-. On the other hand, neither beta,gamma-methylene ATP nor adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate nor ADP beta S could support the AlF4(-)-dependent activation of phospholipase C. The action of ATP gamma S was not through the substrate supply for phospholipase C, because ATP gamma S did not augment the levels of PIP2 or PIP in permeabilized cells. These results suggested the significance of the gamma-phosphate group of ATP and/or phosphorylation by ATP in the activation of phospholipase C by a putative G-protein.

In stimulated human platelets dense-granule secretion in response to the 'weak agonists' ADP, adrenaline, platelet activating factor and low concentrations of thrombin as well as Ca2+ mobilisation in response to thrombin are enhanced by a Na+/H+ exchanger. In the present study the role of this antiport in collagen stimulated human platelets was examined. While stimulation of platelets loaded with the fluorescent intracellular pH-sensitive dye, bis-carboxyethyl-5-(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) with thrombin resulted in the activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger, activation of this antiport did not occur in collagen-stimulated platelets. The lack of antiport activity in response to collagen using BCECF-loaded platelets correlated with the lack of any functional role of the antiport in collagen stimulated platelets. In the presence of a Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, ethylisopropylamiloride, neither collagen-induced platelet aggregation or dense-granule secretion was affected. Furthermore, while the removal of extracellular Na+ (Na+ext), a condition that also prevents activation of the antiport, inhibited dense-granule secretion in response to a low concentration of thrombin, collagen-induced secretion was potentiated. This potentiatory effect could not be attributed to changes in either the membrane potential or in collagen-induced phospholipase C or protein kinase C activity. The present results indicate that in contrast to the 'weak agonists' (1) collagen-induced platelet activation does not require activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger and (2) Na+ext per se is an inhibitor of collagen-induced secretion.

The exotoxins of Bordetella pertussis and Vibrio cholera have been used to investigate signal transduction in the human T-cell lymphoma Jurkat. Stimulation of the cells, leading to an increase in cytoplasmic free calcium, could be achieved by the anti-T-cell receptor complex antibody OKT3 and by pertussis holotoxin (PTHT), or its B-subunit (PTB), but not by cholera holotoxin (CTHT) or its B-subunit (CTB). Both holotoxins ADP-ribosylated specifically G-proteins in the plasma membrane of intact cells, while their B-subunits had no ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Incubation of the cells with CTHT led to a state of unresponsiveness to all stimulants. CTB was without any effect, indicating that the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of cholera toxin (located in the A-subunit of the holotoxin) was necessary for the inhibition of cellular signalling. The inhibitory effect of cholera toxin on the pertussis toxin action was not due to a blockade of pertussis toxin interaction with the cell surface, because pertussis toxin was still able to ADP-ribosylate membrane proteins in cholera toxin treated intact cells. In addition, the cholera toxin mediated inhibition was not due to elevated levels of cyclic-AMP, as forskolin (a direct activator of the adenylate cyclase) and no inhibitory effect. The stimulating effect of PTHT was independent of its ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, because it could also be obtained by the B-subunit alone. In addition, the increase of cytoplasmic free calcium after stimulation by PTHT clearly preceded the ADP-ribosylation. Pre-treatment with PTHT, PTB or OKT3, led to a long lasting increase in the level of intracellular Ca2+ in Jurkat cells, which could not, therefore, be stimulated further. Inhibition by cholera holotoxin of the stimulation by OKT3 and pertussis toxin (PTHT and PTB) imply that the mitogenic effect of pertussis toxin is perhaps mediated via the T-cell antigen receptor signalling cascade. The presented data do not support the idea that a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein is involved in coupling the T-cell antigen receptor to the phospholipase C.

Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates in a dose-dependent manner in cloned osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. This reaction was markedly inhibited dose-dependently by pertussis toxin. In the cell membranes, pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of a 40-kDa protein was significantly attenuated by pretreatment of PGF2 alpha. These results suggest that pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein is involved in the coupling of PGF2 alpha receptor to phospholipase C in these cells.

ADP-induced changes in inositol phospholipids, phosphatidic acid and inositol phosphates of human platelets have been studied in detail, using not only 32P labelling, but also by examining changes in amounts of the phospholipids, their labelling with [3H]glycerol and their specific radioactivities; changes in the labelling of inositol phosphates in platelets prelabelled with [3H]inositol were also measured. During the early (10 s) stage of reversible ADP-induced primary aggregation in a medium containing fibrinogen and with a concentration of Ca2+ in the physiological range (2 mM), the amounts of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdInsP) decreased (by 11.2 +/- 4.9% and 11.3 +/- 5.3%, respectively) while the labelling, but not the amount, of phosphatidic acid increased. The decreases do not appear to be attributable to the action of phospholipase C because the specific radioactivity of phosphatidic acid labelling with [3H]glycerol was not significantly increased at 10 s (although the initial specific radioactivities of the inositol phospholipids and PtdCho were more than double that of phosphatidic acid), and no increases in the labelling of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3), inositol bisphosphate (InsP2) or inositol phosphate (InsP) were detectable at 10 s. Shifts in the interconversions between PtdInsP2 and PtdInsP, and PtdInsP and PtdIns may occur. By 30 to 60 s, when deaggregation was beginning, the amounts of PtdInsP2, PtdInsP and phosphatidic acid were not different from those in unstimulated platelets, but large increases in the 32P-labelling and [3H]glycerol labelling of phosphatidic acid were observed. Formation of [3H]inositol-labelled InsP3 was not detectable at any time in association with ADP-induced primary aggregation, indicating that degradation of PtdInsP2 by phospholipase C is not appreciably stimulated by ADP. These findings were compared with those obtained when platelets were aggregated by ADP in a medium without added of Ca2+ in which secondary aggregation associated with thromboxane A2 (TXA2) formation and release of granule contents occurs. At 10 s (during primary aggregation) the changes were similar in the two media. At 30 s and 60 s (during secondary aggregation in the low-Ca2+ medium), the increases in PtdInsP2, PtdInsP and phosphatidic acid in platelets suspended in the absence of added Ca2+ were larger than those in platelets suspended in the presence of 2 mM Ca2+. In the absence of added Ca2+, ADP-induced increases in the labelling of InsP3, InsP2 and InsP which were probably due to the effects of TXA2 since they were abolished by aspirin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Myeloid differentiated human leukaemia (HL-60) cells contain a soluble phospholipase C that hydrolysed phosphatidylinositol 4.5-bisphosphate and was markedly stimulated by the metabolically stable GTP analogue guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]). Half-maximal and maximal (up to 5-fold) stimulation of inositol phosphate formation by GTP[S] occurred at 1.5 microM and 30 microM respectively. Other nucleotides (GTP, GDP, GMP, guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate. ATP, adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, UTP) did not affect phospholipase C activity, GTP[S] stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation was inhibited by excess GDP, but not by ADP. The effect of GTP[S] on inositol phosphate formation was absolutely dependent on and markedly stimulated by free Ca2+ (median effective concn. approximately 100 nM). Analysis of inositol phosphates by anion-exchange chromatography revealed InsP3 as the major product of GTP[S]-stimulated phospholipase C activity. In the absence of GTP[S], specific phospholipase C activity was markedly decreased when tested at high protein concentrations, whereas GTP[S] stimulation of the enzyme was markedly enhanced under these conditions. As both basal and GTP[S]-stimulated inositol phosphate formation were linear with time whether studied at low or high protein concentration, these results suggest that (a) phospholipase C is under an inhibitory constraint and (b) GTP[S] relieves this inhibition, most likely by activating a soluble GTP-binding protein.

The membrane fraction prepared from rat brain was incubated with 0.5 mM N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) for 10 min. 3H-labelled agonist binding to muscarinic, A1-adenosine, opiate and alpha 2-adrenergic receptors was markedly inhibited by this NEM treatment of membranes, which interfered with the subsequent ADP-ribosylation of endogenous G-proteins by pertussis toxin. This indicated that the toxin target cysteine residues of the G-protein were modified by NEM. The NEM-induced inhibition of agonist bindings was mostly reversed by reconstitution of the alpha-subunits of purified Gi or Go into the membranes. The NEM-induced inhibition, together with the reversal by the G alpha reconstitution, was due to changes in the relative number of high- to low-affinity receptors solely without change in the total (high- plus low-affinity) receptor number. Thus, in NEM-treated membranes endogenous G-proteins become uncoupled from receptors, which were coupled to either Gi alpha or Go alpha. Reconstitution of NEM pre-treated membranes showed that Go acted in preference to Gi in interaction with muscarinic receptors and vice versa in interaction with three other types of receptor. The possible involvement of Go in mediating phospholipase C activation and Gi in mediating adenylate cyclase inhibition is discussed.

Cholera toxin (CT) inhibited the in vitro growth of three of four human small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cell lines with a 50% inhibitory concentration of 27-242 ng/ml. Loss of surface membrane ruffling and the capacity of [Tyr4]-bombesin, vasopressin, and fetal calf serum to stimulate increases in intracellular free calcium clearly preceded effects on cellular metabolic activity and cell growth. 125I-[Tyr4]-bombesin binding was unaffected by CT treatment but [Tyr4]-bombesin stimulated phospholipase C activity was decreased in membranes from CT-treated SCLC cells. CT stimulated a rapid but transient increase in intracellular cyclic AMP ([cAMP]i) in SCLC. The effects of CT on susceptible SCLC were not reproduced by elevations of [cAMP]i induced by forskolin or cyclic AMP analogues. GM1 ganglioside, the cellular binding site for CT, was highly expressed in the CT-sensitive but not the CT-resistant SCLC cell lines. In contrast, expression of guanine nucleotide binding protein substrates for ADP-ribosylation by CT was similar. These data demonstrate the existence of a CT-sensitive growth inhibitory pathway in SCLC-bearing GM1 ganglioside. Addition of CT results in decreased responsiveness to several mitogenic stimuli. These results suggest novel therapeutic approaches to human SCLC.

P2-purinergic receptor agonists (UTP) and formylated peptide receptor agonists (FMLP) were found to be equally efficacious in eliciting rapid 6-7-fold increases in inositol polyphosphate accumulation in differentiated HL-60 granulocytes. The activation of this response by either agonist was substantially but incompletely inhibited in cells treated with pertussis toxin. Thus, in cells containing only 1-10% of the control level of non-ADP-ribosylated Gi-2/3, UTP induced rapid 2-fold increases in inositol polyphosphate accumulation whereas smaller 50% increases were observed in FMLP-stimulated cells. Washed membranes prepared from control and toxin-treated HL-60 cells were used to characterize this toxin-insensitive activation of phospholipase C further. The agonist-independent stimulation of phospholipase C by either millimolar Ca2+ or the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) was only modestly attenuated by toxin treatment. There was a 70-80% decrease in the rate and extent of phospholipase C activity stimulated by GTP per se in the absence of receptor agonists. The rate and extent of FMLP-induced potentiation of GTP-dependent phospholipase C activity were also inhibited by greater than 80% in toxin-treated membranes. Conversely, the potency and efficacy characterizing UTP-induced potentiation of GTP-dependent phospholipase C activity were only modestly attenuated (less than 20% inhibition). The results indicate that P2-purinergic receptors (and perhaps other Ca2(+)-mobilizing receptors) activate both pertussis toxin-sensitive and toxin-insensitive pathways for phospholipase C regulation in phagocytic leukocytes.
