Carbachol, histamine and bradykinin activate phospholipase C in pertussis toxin-insensitive manner in human astrocytoma cells. Pretreatments of the cells with these agonists resulted in the reduction of GTP gamma S-induced accumulation of inositol phosphates in membrane preparations. Treatment of cells with carbachol mobilized GTP gamma S binding activities as well as muscarinic receptors from heavy membrane fraction to light fraction, reflecting from an agonist-induced desensitization. The treatment of the cells with agonists reduced a 32 kDa GTP binding protein in heavy membrane fraction, determined by a photoaffinity labeling with [35S]GTP gamma S. The data suggest that the 32 kDa GTP binding protein is involved in desensitization by agonists which activate phospholipase C in human astrocytoma cells.

The properties of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptors were examined in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. 9,11-Epithio-11,12-methanothromboxane A2 (STA2), a stable analogue of TXA2, stimulated the accumulation of inositol phosphates (IPs) with an EC50 of about 50 nM. The STA2-induced accumulation of IPs was inhibited concentration dependently by ONO3708, a TXA2 receptor antagonist, with an inhibition constant (Ki) of about 10 nM. Inositol trisphosphate (IP3) was accumulated more rapidly than inositol bisphosphate (IP2) in response to STA2. HPLC analysis indicated that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate accumulated in the presence of STA2. STA2 alone had no effect on the accumulation of IPs in membrane preparations but it potentiated the accumulation induced by GTP gamma S. [3H]SQ29548, a TXA2 receptor antagonist, bound specifically to TXA2 receptors, expressing a single binding site with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 10.9 nM. The competition curve for STA2 inhibition of [3H]SQ29548 binding was shifted to the right and was steeper in the presence of GTP gamma S. Pertussis toxin (IAP) elicited ADP-ribosylation of 41KD protein but had no effect on the sensitivity to GTP of the STA2 inhibition of SQ29548 binding or of STA2-induced accumulation of IPs. It is concluded from these results that the stimulation of TXA2 receptors results in activation of phospholipase C via a GTP binding protein and that the protein is not a substrate for IAP.

The relative capacities of muscarinic cholinergic receptor (MR) and bradykinin (BK)-receptor activation to increase phosphoinositide hydrolysis and to increase cytosolic Ca2+ were compared in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma and 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. In 1321N1 cells, the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbachol and BK each stimulated a concentration-dependent accumulation of inositol phosphates (K0.5 approximately 10 microM and approximately 10 nM respectively) and a rapid increase in cytosolic Ca2+ as determined by quin2 fluorescence. In NG108-15 cells, BK alone stimulated a pertussis-toxin-insensitive accumulation of inositol phosphates (K0.5 approximately 10 nM) under conditions in which pertussis toxin completely inhibited MR-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase. BK also stimulated a rapid increase in cytosolic Ca2+ in NG108-15 cells. In contrast, no MR-mediated increase in phosphoinositide hydrolysis or change in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was observed in NG108-15 cells. These results support the idea that MR selectively interact with either the cyclic AMP or the inositol phosphate second-messenger systems.

Activation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors of 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells attenuates cyclic AMP accumulation. This effect results from an activation of phosphodiesterase with no direct inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. In spite of this lack of coupling of muscarinic receptors to adenylate cyclase, guanine nucleotides reduce the apparent binding affinity of the agonist carbachol in a washed membrane preparation of 1321N1 cells. The order of potency for this effect is guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) greater than 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate = GTP = GDP; ATP has no effect. The occurrence of a Mr = 41,000 protein labeled in the presence of [32P]NAD and pertussis toxin as well as the occurrence of guanine nucleotide-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity indicate that the functional inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory component of adenylate cyclase (Ni) is present in 1321N1 cells. Pertussis toxin pretreatment of NG108-15 neuroblastoma X glioma cells, which express muscarinic receptors that link through Ni to inhibit adenylate cyclase, blocked the GTP-sensitive, high affinity binding of carbachol. In contrast, pretreatment of 1321N1 cells with a concentration of pertussis toxin that blocked [32P]ADP ribosylation of the Mr = 41,000 substrate and GTP-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity had no effect on GTP-sensitive high affinity binding of carbachol. These results suggest that muscarinic cholinergic receptors of 1321N1 cells couple to a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein that is distinct from Ni.

Pertussis toxin was used to examine the role of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni, in muscarinic-receptor-mediated stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover and calcium mobilization. In cultured chick heart cells, pertussis-toxin treatment inhibited muscarinic-receptor-mediated attenuation of isoprenaline-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. This finding is consistent with the proposal that pertussis toxin blocks the capacity of Ni to couple muscarinic receptors to adenylate cyclase. In contrast, treatment of chick heart cells or 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells with pertussis toxin did not block muscarinic-receptor-mediated stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis, as measured by [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation in the presence of Li+. Pertussis-toxin treatment also had little effect on basal and muscarinic-receptor-stimulated phosphatidylinositol synthesis, as measured by the incorporation of [3H]inositol into phosphatidylinositol. Activation of muscarinic receptors also enhances the rate of unidirectional 45Ca2+ efflux in 1321N1 cells; this response, like phosphoinositide hydrolysis, was not prevented by pertussis-toxin treatment. Our data suggest that muscarinic receptors are not coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis or calcium mobilization through Ni.

The efficacy of muscarinic-receptor agonists for stimulation of inositol phosphate formation and Ca2+ mobilization in intact 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells is correlated with their capacity for formation of a GTP-sensitive high-affinity binding complex in membranes from these cells [Evans, Hepler, Masters, Brown & Harden (1985) Biochem. J. 232, 751-757]. These observations prompted the proposal that a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein serves to couple muscarinic receptors to the phospholipase C involved in phosphoinositide hydrolysis in 1321N1 cells. Inositol phosphate (InsP) formation was measured in a cell-free preparation from 1321N1 cells to provide direct support for this idea. The formation of InsP3, InsP2 and InsP1 was increased in a concentration-dependent manner (K0.5 approximately 5 microM) by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) in washed membranes prepared from myo-[3H]inositol-prelabelled 1321N1 cells. Both GTP[S] and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) stimulated InsP formation by 2-3-fold over control; GTP, GDP and GMP were much less efficacious. Millimolar concentrations of NaF also stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates in membrane preparations from 1321N1 cells. In the presence of 10 microM-GTP[S], the muscarinic cholinergic-receptor agonist carbachol stimulated (K0.5 approximately 10 microM) the formation of InsP above that achieved with GTP[S] alone. The effect of carbachol was completely blocked by atropine. The order of potency of nucleotides for stimulation of InsP formation in the presence of 500 microM-carbachol was GTP[S] greater than p[NH]ppG greater than GTP = GDP. Pertussis toxin, at concentrations that fully ADP-ribosylate and functionally inactivate Gi (the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein), had no effect on InsP formation in the presence of GTP[S] or GTP[S] plus carbachol. These data are consistent with the idea that a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein that is not Gi is involved in receptor-mediated stimulation of InsP formation in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells.

Inhibitory coupling of receptors to adenylate cyclase previously has been shown to be relatively sensitive to inactivation by alkylation with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Modification of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni, has been proposed to be responsible for this effect. The effects of NEM on GTP-sensitive binding of carbachol to muscarinic cholinergic receptors has been compared in a cell line (1321N1 human astrocytoma cells) in which these receptors stimulate phosphoinositide breakdown and in a cell line (NG108-15 neuroblastoma X glioma cells) in which activation of these receptors results in inhibition of adenylate cyclase. Pretreatment of membrane preparations from 1321N1 cells with NEM resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in the extent of pertussis toxin-catalysed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of a 41 000 Da protein previously proposed to be the alpha subunit of Ni. Under conditions where 32P-labelling of Ni in 1321N1 membranes was reduced by NEM by 90%, no effect was observed on the extent of guanine nucleotide-sensitive high-affinity binding of carbachol to muscarinic cholinergic receptors. In contrast, treatment of NG108-15 membranes with NEM under the same conditions resulted in complete loss of high-affinity guanine nucleotide sensitive binding of carbachol. These results illustrate another difference between the muscarinic receptor population of these two cell lines, and support the previous proposal that muscarinic receptors of 1321N1 cells couple to a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein that is not Ni.

It has been proposed elsewhere [Meeker, R.B. & Harden, T. K. (1982) Mol. Pharmacol. 22, 310-319] that muscarinic cholinergic receptor-mediated attenuation of cAMP accumulation occurs through activation of phosphodiesterase in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein involved in receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase (Ni), has been utilized to further differentiate between the mechanism of cholinergic regulation of cAMP metabolism in 1321N1 cells and the mechanism involving inhibition of adenylate cyclase in other tissues. Muscarinic receptor-mediated regulation of cAMP accumulation in NG108-15 neuroblastoma-glioma cells occurs through inhibition of adenylate cyclase. Pretreatment of these cells with pertussis toxin completely blocked the capacity of carbachol to attenuate cAMP accumulation. In contrast, concentrations of pertussis toxin two to three orders of magnitude higher than those effective in NG108-15 cells had no effect on muscarinic receptor-mediated attentuation of cAMP accumulation in 1321N1 cells. In addition, no effect of pertussis toxin was observed either on the control rate or the carbachol-stimulated rate of cAMP degradation measured directly in intact 1321N1 cells. A 41,000 Mr protein previously proposed to be the alpha subunit of Ni was labeled during incubation of a plasma membrane fraction from 1321N1 cells with [32P]NAD and pertussis toxin. Pertussis toxin is apparently active in 1321N1 cells, since this protein substrate was not labeled in plasma membrane preparations from cells previously incubated with toxin. Functional activity of Ni was demonstrated by the observation that guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate- and GTP-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity occurred in cell-free preparations from 1321N1 cells. The inhibitory activity of these guanine nucleotides was lost in membrane preparations from pertussis toxin-treated cells. The data suggest that adenylate cyclase is not involved in cholinergic action in 1321N1 cells and, furthermore, Ni is not involved in muscarinic receptor-mediated activation of phosphodiesterase in these cells. Thus, pertussis toxin can be used to differentiate between two mechanisms of cholinergic regulation of cAMP metabolism.

Variations in intracellular free calcium concentration (delta[Ca2+]i) were measured in intact and isolated human astrocytoma cells (U373 MG) loaded with fura-2 acetoxymethylester. Microperfusion of 50 nM substance P (SP), applied for 1 s, increased [Ca2+]i by 351 nM from a stable basal level of [Ca2+]i of 26 nM. The peak delta[Ca2+]i induced by SP was dose dependent with a threshold of 10(-3) nM, an ED50 of 1.3 nM and a maximal effect for concentrations of SP greater than 100 nM. The NK1 receptor agonist, [Sar9Met(O2)11]SP, mimicked the effect of SP, while the NK2 and NK3 selective receptor agonists, [N1(10)]NKA(4-10) and senktide, respectively, had no effect. The delta[Ca2+]i induced by SP was unaffected by 100 microM cadmium or by removal of extracellular calcium ions. Caffeine up to 30 mM had no effect on [Ca2+]i. In contrast, thapsigargin increased resting [Ca2+]i by 92 nM and reduced the delta[Ca2+]i induced by SP. A pertussis treatment (500 ng/ml-24 h) did not modify the delta[Ca2+]i induced by SP. We conclude that SP, acting on a NK1 receptor, mobilizes cytosolic calcium from an intracellular calcium pool which can be partially depleted by thapsigargin.

Thrombin stimulation of 1321N1 astrocytoma cells leads to Ras-dependent AP-1-mediated transcriptional activation and to DNA replication. In contrast to what has been observed in most cell systems, in 1321N1 cells these responses are pertussis toxin-insensitive. The pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein G12 has been implicated in cell growth and transformation in different cell systems. We have examined the potential role of this protein in AP-1-mediated transcriptional activation and DNA synthesis in 1321N1 cells. Transient expression of an activated (GTPase-deficient) mutant of G alpha 12 increased AP-1-dependent gene expression. This response was inhibited by co-expression of a dominant negative Ala-15 Ras protein. To determine whether the pertussis toxin-insensitive G12 protein is involved in the thrombin-stimulated DNA synthesis, an inhibitory antibody against the C-terminal sequence of G alpha 12 subunit was microinjected into 1321N1 cells. Microinjection of the anti-G alpha 12 resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of thrombin-stimulated DNA synthesis. In contrast, microinjection of nonimmune IgG or an antibody directed against the C terminus of G alpha o did not reduce the mitogenic response to thrombin. Furthermore, microinjection of the anti-G alpha 12 antibody had no effect on fibroblast growth factor-stimulated DNA synthesis. These results demonstrate a specific role for G alpha 12 in the mitogenic response to thrombin in human astroglial cells.
