1. The effects on phosphatidylinositol metabolism of three Ca(2+)-mobilizing glycogenolytic hormones, namely angiotensin, vasopressin and adrenaline, have been investigated by using rat hepatocytes. 2. All three hormones stimulate both phosphatidylinositol breakdown and the labelling of this lipid with (32)P. 3. The response to angiotensin occurs quickly, requires a high concentration of the hormone and is prevented by [1-sarcosine, 8-isoleucine]angiotensin, a specific angiotensin antagonist that does not prevent the responses to vasopressin and to adrenaline. This response therefore seems to be mediated by angiotensin-specific receptors. 4. [1-Deaminocysteine,2-phenylalanine,7-(3,4-didehydroproline),8-arginine] vasopressin, a vasopressin analogue with enhanced antidiuretic potency, is relatively ineffective at stimulating phosphatidylinositol metabolism. This suggests that the hepatic vasopressin receptors that stimulate phosphatidylinositol breakdown are different in their ligand selectivity from the antidiuretic vasopressin receptors that activate renal adenylate cyclase. 5. Incubation of hepatocytes with ionophore A23187, a bivalent-cation ionophore, neither mimicked nor appreciably changed the effects of vasopressin on phosphatidylinositol metabolism, suggesting that phosphatidylinositol breakdown is not controlled by changes in the cytosol Ca(2+) concentration. This conclusion was supported by the observation that hormonal stimulation of phosphatidylinositol breakdown and resynthesis persists in cells incubated for a substantial period in EGTA, although this treatment somewhat decreased the phosphatidylinositol response of the hepatocyte. The phosphatidylinositol response of the hepatocyte therefore appears not to be controlled by changes in cytosol [Ca(2+)], despite the fact that this ion is thought to be the second messenger by which the same hormones control glycogenolysis. 6. These results may be an indication that phosphatidylinositol breakdown is an integral reaction in the stimulus-response coupling sequence(s) that link(s) activation of alpha-adrenergic, vasopressin and angiotensin receptors to mobilization of Ca(2+) in the rat hepatocyte.

Neuroblastoma cells were synchronized by a combined isoleucine plus glutamine starvation. Adenylate cyclase activity [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] was measured under basal conditions and in the presence of dopamine, adenosine and prostaglandin (PG) E1. A clear dissociation occurred between the respective evolution patterns of basal and agonist-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities. The magnitudes of the enzyme response to PGE1, adenosine, and dopamine also exhibited different evolution patterns during the cell cycle. Evolution of adenylate cyclase responsiveness to PGE1 during the cell cycle exhibited striking similarities with the intracellular 3':5'-cyclic AMP changes observed elsewhere. Use of theophylline and fluphenazine as specific inhibitors of adenosine and dopamine, respectively, made it possible to demonstrate that adenosine, dopamine, and PGE1 stimulated adenylate cyclase through independent receptor sites. Furthermore, whatever the stage of the cell cycle, responses to these three agonists were not additive, indicating that the receptors of adenosine, dopamine, and PGE1 control the same adenylate cyclase moieties. The data suggest that adenylate cyclase cell content and enzyme responsiveness to specific agonists can be independently controlled.

The ability of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and cholera toxin to increase cyclic AMP levels is potentiated 6-fold when normal rat kidney (NRK) cells are treated with picolinic acid or histidinol, or grown in isoleucine-deficient medium. The response to (-)-isoproterenol is increased 2-fold in NRK cells treated with picolinic acid but not in cells subjected to isoleucine deprivation. The increase in agonist responsiveness is time-dependent, reaches its maximum at 40 h, and is quickly reversed following removal of picolinic acid or addition of medium with normal amounts of isoleucine. The cholera toxin response is also increased about 7-fold in simian virus 40-transformed NRK cells and Moloney sarcoma virus-transformed NRK cells treated with picolinic acid. GTP-stimulated, but not fluoride-stimulated, adenylate cyclase activities are increased in membranes from NRK cells treated with picolinic acid or starved for isoleucine, indicating that the increased response is due, at least in part, to a specific potentiation of GTP-dependent functions of the adenylate cyclase system. The results demonstrate that GTP-dependent events in hormonal stimulation of adenylate cyclase can be altered in intact cells to modulate hormonal enhancement of cyclic AMP production.

Mouse neuroblastoma cells derived from cholinergic clone NS 20 were synchronized by isoleucine plus glutamine starvation. Basal adenylate cyclase activity increased linearly during the different phases of the cell cycle. Pharmacological data are presented indicating that adenosine, dopamine and prostaglandin E1 control through distinct receptors the same adenylate cyclase activity. The demonstration that basal enzyme activity and its responsiveness to the three agonists tested followed different evolution patterns during the cell cycle suggests that enzyme activity (or content) and activity (or number) of enzyme coupled receptors can be independently modulated.

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-immunoreactive nerves have been demonstrated in close association with the islets of Langerhans, and VIP has been shown to stimulate insulin and somatostatin secretion. Using [125I]VIP and membranes prepared from rat insulinoma (RIN) cells, i.e., the subclones m5F (m5F; mainly insulin-secreting) and 14B (14B; mainly somatostatin-secreting), it was found that VIP (10(-10)-10(-7) M) competitively inhibited the binding of [125I]VIP. A single class of high affinity binding sites with Kd values of 0.40 +/- 0.06 nM and 0.36 +/- 0.08 nM for m5F and 14B, respectively, with a corresponding number of binding sites (Bmax) of 163 +/- 20 and 254 +/- 51 fmol/mg protein was observed. The rank order of potency in inhibiting [125I]VIP binding was in both cell lines: VIP greater than helodermin greater than pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1-27 (PACAP27) greater than peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI) greater than secretin. VIP caused a dose-dependent increase in cAMP-formation in both m5F and 14B cell membranes with EC50 values of 3.0 and 3.5 nM, respectively, but VIP (1.10(-9)-3.10(-6) M) had no effect on insulin secretion (over 2 h) from the m5F cells. Thus, the data suggest that the VIP-receptors in these neoplastic rat cell lines, despite an apparent coupling to adenylate cyclase activity, seem to be functionally uncoupled to an effect on insulin secretion following an acute exposure to VIP.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuroendocrine mediator found in the central and peripheral nervous system. Distinct subsets of neural, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and immune cells bear specific high-affinity receptors for VIP, which are associated with a guanine nucleotide-binding (G) protein capable of activating adenylate cyclase. A cDNA clone (GPRN1) encoding the human VIP receptor was identified in libraries prepared from the Nalm 6 line of leukemic pre-B lymphoblasts and the HT-29 line of colon carcinoma cells. The deduced 362-amino acid polypeptide sequence encoded by GPRN1 shares a seven-transmembrane-segment hydropathicity profile with other G protein-coupled receptors. Northern blot analyses identified a 2.7-kilobase transcript of the VIP receptor in Nalm 6 and HT-29 cells as well as in tissues from rat brain, colon, heart, lung, kidney, spleen, and small intestine. COS-6 cells transfected with GPRN1 bound 125I-labeled VIP specifically with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.5 nM. VIP--and less effectively secretin, peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI), and glucagon competitively displaced bound 125I-VIP from transfected COS-6 cells, with potencies in the order VIP greater than secretin = PHI much greater than glucagon. VIP stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary K1 cells, inducing a 3-fold increase in the intracellular level of cAMP. When the antisense orientation of the VIP receptor clone was introduced into HT-29 cells, there was a 50% suppression of the specific binding of 125I-VIP and of the VIP-induced increase in cAMP level, relative to untransfected cells. The VIP receptor cloned exhibits less than or equal to 24% homology with other receptors in the same superfamily and thus represents a subset of G protein-coupled receptors for peptide ligands.

Specific binding of 125I-labelled GLP-1(7-36)amide to rat lung membranes was dependent upon time and temperature and was proportional to membrane protein concentration. Binding was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by unlabelled GLP-1(7-36)amide consistent with the presence of a single class of binding sites with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.67 +/- 0.29 nmol/l. GLP-1(1-36)amide was 260 times less potent in inhibiting the binding of 125I-labelled GLP-1(7-36)amide to lung membranes (Kd of 448 +/- 93 nmol/l). Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and peptide-histidine-isoleucine also displaced 125I-labelled GLP-1(7-36)amide from the receptor concentration-dependently; the Kd was 4.31 +/- 0.8 and 7.93 +/- 4.79 nmol/l, respectively. Guanine nucleotides (GTP-gamma-S, GDP-beta-S) decreased the binding of 125I-labelled GLP-1(7-36)amide to rat lung membranes as was found for GLP-1(7-36)amide receptors in RINm5F cells which were also shown to be coupled to the adenylate cyclase system.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and peptide (P) with N-terminal histidine and C-terminal isoleucine (PHI) stimulated prolactin (PRL) secretion from GH4C1 cells equipotent with ED50 values of 30-50 nM. In a parafusion system optimized to give high time resolution both VIP and PHI increased PRL secretion with a delay of about 60 s and subsequent to the activation of the adenylate cyclase. Thyroliberin (TRH) increased PRL secretion within 4 s. The dose-response curves for VIP- and PHI-stimulated cAMP accumulation were superimposable on those for PRL secretion. At submaximal concentrations the effects of VIP and PHI on both cAMP accumulation and PRL secretion were additive, whereas the effects were not additive at concentrations giving maximal effects. VIP and PHI increased [Ca2+]i measured by quin-2 in a different way than TRH, without inducing changes in the electrophysiological membrane properties of the GH4C1 cells. We conclude that both VIP and PHI stimulate PRL secretion via a cAMP-dependent process involving an increase in [Ca2+]i.

Specific binding sites for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were characterized in dispersed rat parotid acini. The binding of [125I]VIP was rapid, saturable, reversible, and temperature dependent. Scatchard analysis indicated two functionally independent classes of receptor sites: 41,000 high affinity-low capacity sites per cell with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 6.4 nM and 420,000 low affinity-high capacity sites per cell with a Kd of 150 nM. A peptide with N-terminal histidine and C-terminal isoleucine and secretin, which are structurally related to VIP, inhibited the tracer binding 30 and 200 times less strongly, respectively, than VIP. Epinephrine and carbachol did not inhibit [125I]VIP binding to parotid acinar cells. VIP stimulated cAMP accumulation in parotid lobules and induced amylase secretion in a dose-dependent manner. A peptide with N-terminal histidine and C-terminal isoleucine and secretin were less potent than VIP regarding cAMP accumulation (1/12 and 1/80 of VIP, respectively) and amylase secretion (1/40 and 1/500 of VIP, respectively). Substance P did not stimulate cAMP accumulation but stimulated amylase secretion more strongly than VIP. These observations clearly demonstrated the presence of VIP receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase system in the rat parotid gland, which plays an important role in the regulation of the amylase secretion. The regulation of parotid function by VIP was independent of the adrenergic or muscarinic regulatory system and of the influence of substance P.

The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and related peptides [glucagon, secretin, PHI 1-27 (peptide with N-terminal histidine and C-terminal isoleucine)] on renal adenylate cyclase (AC) has been determined in several species. The largest stimulation (4.1 +/- 0.5-fold basal) of AC by 1 mumol.l-1 VIP was observed in feline cortical plasma membranes. In rabbit and guinea-pig, VIP increased AC activity 1.5 +/- 0.3- and 1.8 +/- 0.3-fold respectively but glucagon had no such action. Conversely in the rat glucagon stimulated AC some 3-fold over basal activity whereas VIP had little effect. In dog, cat and mouse both peptides were effective in increasing AC activity. For cat, half-maximal stimulation of cortical plasma membrane AC by VIP was seen at 27.0 +/- 9.0 nmol.l-1 (SE N = 9 animals). VIP also increased AC activity in both outer (red) and inner (white) medulla. In feline cortical membranes VIP and PTH (parathyroid hormone) when added in combination were fully additive. However for VIP and glucagon in combination there was no cumulative increase in AC activity, indeed the resultant activity was less than that attained by VIP alone. The VIP analogue (4Cl-D-Phe6Leu17)VIP at 10 mumol.l-1 produced a right shift in the VIP-dose response curve and increased the EC50 from 17.2 +/- 5.8 nmol.l-1 to 132.0 +/- 22.2 nmol..-1 VIP (SE N = 4). There was no reduction in the maximum response elicited by VIP consistent with a competitive type of antagonism by this analogue. PHI-stimulated AC was also reduced by (4Cl-D-Phe6Leu17)VIP resulting in a similar right shift in the dose response curve.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
