Recent work has demonstrated the enhancement of hormone-stimulated inositol trisphosphate formation in renal epithelial cells under conditions of glucosylceramide depletion. The role of glucosylceramide metabolism was explored further by exposing Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells to the beta-glucosidase inhibitor conduritol B epoxide, which produced time-dependent and concentration-dependent increases in glucosylceramide levels and decreased bradykinin-stimulated inositol trisphosphate formation from isolated MDCK cell membranes. These data provide further support for an association between glucosylceramide levels and hormone-stimulated inositol trisphosphate formation.
