Chronic treatment of neuroblastoma X glioma hybrid cells (NG 108-15) with the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbachol, which acutely inhibits adenylate cyclase, resulted in a 104 +/- 10% increase in PGE1-stimulated cAMP accumulation. Pretreatment of intact cells with pertussis toxin can structurally modify the inhibitory regulatory protein, Gi, by ADP-ribosylation and thus abolish the acute inhibition by carbachol. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin also resulted in a 27 +/- 8% increase in PGE1-stimulated cAMP accumulation. In the pertussis toxin-treated cells, chronic treatment with carbachol did not further enhance the PGE1 stimulation. These results suggest that functional Gi is required for the development of muscarinic cholinergic-induced enhancement of PGE1-stimulated cAMP accumulation.

Dopamine inhibits and serotonin stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in a neuroblastoma X Chinese hamster brain explant cell line (NCB-20). The inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation by dopamine was blocked by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin. Carbachol and bradykinin stimulated the accumulation of water-soluble inositol phosphates whereas thyrotropin-releasing hormone, vasopressin, neurotensin, and phenylephrine were without effect. Dopamine and serotonin had no significant effect on carbachol-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis or the levels of the parent lipids within the membrane. Forskolin induced a much larger stimulation of cyclic AMP than did serotonin, and caused an increase in the levels of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate and phosphatidyl inositol-4,5-bisphosphate in the cell membrane.

The association of neurotensin to its receptor in differentiated neuroblastoma N1E115 cells led to a fast and transitory increase of the intracellular concentration in inositol triphosphate and inositol biphosphate, followed by a slower and more stable increase inositol monophosphate. The action of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate on digitonin-permeabilized N1E115 cells resulted in a stimulation of cyclic GMP levels that mimicked that induced by neurotensin. Therefore, the cyclic GMP stimulation is probably a consequence of the initial inositol triphosphate formation triggered by neurotensin. Fluoroaluminate ions and pertussis toxin had the capacity to modulate positively and negatively, respectively, the formation of inositol triphosphate induced by neurotensin, indicating that GTP-binding proteins are involved in the regulation of inositol phosphate levels by neurotensin receptors.

Amounts of the guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins which are also pertussis toxin substrates (such as Ni and No) were measured in rat glioma, C6BU-1, cells and in neuroblastoma X glioma, NG108-15, hybrid cells. Measurements were performed both by quantitating pertussis toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylation and by quantitative immunoblotting with affinity purified antibodies specific for Ni or No. The amounts of pertussis toxin substrate in C6 and NG108-15 cells are 7.5 and 0.6 pmol/mg membrane protein, respectively. These levels are minimum values and higher estimates of the total amounts of N proteins in the two cells are obtained by quantitative immunoblot analysis of the beta-subunit common to all N proteins. Immunoblots with specific antibodies show that NG108-15 cells contain 3.8 pmol/mg of No and detectable but small (less than 0.1 pmol/mg) amounts of Ni. In contrast, C6 cell membranes contain no detectable No and only 0.14 pmol/mg Ni. Thus, C6 cells contain large amounts of a pertussis toxin substrate which is neither Ni nor No.

It has been found that neuroblastoma contains a relatively high immunoreactivity for the alpha subunit of guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(o) (G(o) alpha) (Kato et al., Cancer Res. 47, 5800-5805, 1987), which is predominantly localized in the nervous tissues and neuroendocrine cells. To make clear whether neuroblastoma indeed produces G(o) alpha, we purified a guanine nucleotide-binding protein from human neuroblastoma and compared it with G(o) alpha from human brain. A guanine nucleotide-binding protein serving as the specific substrate of islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin, was purified from a human neuroblastoma tissue obtained at surgical resection. The protein had a molecular mass of 39 kDa and reacted with rabbit antibodies to bovine G(o) alpha. Heat stability and kinetics of guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate binding of this protein were very similar to those of G(o) alpha purified from human brain. The results of peptide mapping analysis with a limited proteolysis and amino acid analysis indicated that there was no difference between these proteins. Therefore, it was concluded that this guanine nucleotide-binding protein isolated from neuroblastoma was very similar, if not identical, to brain G(o) alpha.

NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells express a major 45 kDa substrate for cholera toxin and a 40 kDa substrate(s) for pertussis toxin when ADP-ribosylation is performed in the presence of GTP. In the absence of exogenous GTP, however, cholera toxin was shown to catalyse incorporation of radioactivity into a 40 kDa protein as well as into the 45 kDa polypeptide. In membranes of cells which had been pretreated in vivo with pertussis toxin, the 40 kDa band was no longer a substrate for either pertussis or cholera toxin in vitro, whereas in membranes from cholera-toxin-pretreated cells the 40 kDa band was still a substrate for fresh cholera toxin in vitro and for pertussis toxin. In this cell line, opioid peptides have been shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase exclusively by interacting with Gi (inhibitory G-protein) and with no other pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-protein. Opioid agonists, but not antagonists, promoted the cholera-toxin-catalysed ADP-ribosylation of the 40 kDa polypeptide, hence demonstrating that this cholera-toxin substrate was indeed the alpha-subunit of Gi. These results demonstrate that Gi can be a substrate for either cholera or pertussis toxin under appropriate conditions.

The major pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein of rat glioma C6 BU1 cells corresponded immunologically to Gi2. Antibodies which recognize the alpha subunit of this protein indicated that it has an apparent molecular mass of 40 kDa and a pI of 5.7. Incubation of membranes of these cells with guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate, or other analogues of GTP, caused release of this polypeptide from the membrane in a time-dependent manner. Analogues of GDP or of ATP did not mimic this effect. The GTP analogues similarly caused release of the alpha subunit of Gi2 from membranes of C6 cells in which this G-protein had been inactivated by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. The beta subunit was not released from the membrane under any of these conditions, indicating that the release process was a specific response to the dissociation of the G-protein after binding of the GTP analogue. Similar nucleotide profiles for release of the alpha subunits of forms of Gi were noted for membranes of both the neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell line NG108-15 and of human platelets. These data provide evidence that: (1) pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-proteins, in native membranes, do indeed dissociate into alpha and beta gamma subunits upon activation; (2) the alpha subunit of 'Gi-like' proteins need not always remain in intimate association with the plasma membrane; and (3) the alpha subunit of Gi2 can still dissociate from the beta/gamma subunits after pertussis-toxin-catalysed ADP-ribosylation.

Bradykinin acts on the dorsal root ganglion X neuroblastoma hybrid cell line F-11 to stimulate the rapid elevation of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and intracellular calcium. We now show an equally rapid release of arachidonyl labeled diacylglycerol (DAG), (243 +/- 32% of control). This first peak of diacylglycerol production was inhibitable by either pretreatment with 200 ng/ml of pertussis toxin overnight or by 10 nM tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA). In addition, a second, more sustained release occurred, plateauing at approximately five minutes (304 +/- 16%). The second peak of DAG was unaffected by these TPA or pertussis pre-incubations. Simultaneous analysis of inositol-labeled phospholipids showed that the initial IP3 and DAG peaks corresponded to initial decreases in phosphoinositides PIP2 and PIP whereas PI increased slightly over this same time period. In contrast, at 5-30 minutes, PIP2 and PIP returned to normal levels, but PI gradually decreased to 75% of control values. Likewise, TPA blocked this early PIP and PIP2 breakdown, but had no effect on the delayed breakdown of monophosphatidylinositol (PI). Bradykinin also induced an equally rapid increase in lysophosphatidyl inositol (lyso-PI) with a peak around 10-30 seconds, and a second more sustained peak after 10 minutes. This production of lyso-PI was not affected by prior treatment with TPA or pertussis toxin. The initial and the sustained phases of diacylglycerol production probably result from different biochemical mechanisms and/or substrates.

Effects of pertussis toxin or cholera toxin on carbachol-stimulated inositol-1-phosphate ([3H]IP1) accumulation were studied using the human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y). The maximal carbachol-stimulated [3H]IP1 accumulation in the SH-SY5Y cells was decreased from 51.4 fmol/10(6) cells to 42.4 fmol/10(6) cells (P less than 0.05) and 22.1 fmol/10(6) cells (P less than 0.01) in the absence and presence of 1 microgram/ml and 10 micrograms/ml pertussis toxin, respectively while the EC50 values did not change. Cholera toxin (1 mg/ml) did not alter carbachol-stimulated [3H]IP1 accumulation in these cells. These results suggest that a pertussis toxin sensitive G-protein may be involved in muscarinic receptor-phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis coupling in SH-SY5Y cells.

In the mouse neuroblastoma x dorsal root ganglion hybrid cell line F-11, bradykinin receptor stimulation induced the release of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and inositol-1,4-bisphosphate (IP2). Maximal stimulation of [2-3H]IP3 and [2-3H]IP2 release by bradykinin in the absence of LiCl occurred at 7 (or less) and 15 s, respectively, with average levels of 5.7-(IP3) and 3.4-(IP2) fold of control values. The EC50 for bradykinin was 33 +/- 5 nM. IP3 and IP2 concentrations returned to basal levels approximately 1 min after bradykinin addition. Bradykinin-induced IP3 release was blocked by several novel bradykinin analogues. In particular, [D-Arg0]-Hyp3-Thi5,8-[D-Phe7]-bradykinin [Hyp, hydroxyproline; Thi, beta-(2-thienyl)-L-alanine] blocked IP3 production in a dose-dependent fashion. Several of these analogues alone showed little or no agonist activity. The bradykinin receptor may be coupled to phospholipase C via a GTP-sensitive protein (Gi or Go), as preincubation for 18-20 h with pertussis toxin decreased IP3 concentrations by 45%. Bradykinin is also known to modulate the concentrations of other second messengers in neurons, increasing the concentrations of Ca2+, diacylglycerol (DG), and cyclic GMP and decreasing the concentration of cyclic AMP. These second messengers modulated bradykinin-dependent IP3 release to varying degrees. A23187, a Ca2+ ionophore, produced a 37% decrease in IP3 concentration. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, which mimics the effects of DG and activates protein kinase C, inhibited IP3 release by 80%. Dibutyryl cyclic GMP produced little or no inhibition of IP3. [D-Ala2,D-Leu5]Enkephalin (DADLE), an opioid peptide that decreases cyclic AMP concentrations, likewise had no effect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
