The promyelocytic HL60 cell can be differentiated with dimethyl sulphoxide or dibutyryl cyclic AMP leading to the appearance of fMetLeuPhe receptors on the cell surface. G-protein-stimulated polyphosphoinositide phosphodiesterase (PPI-pde) activity was assessed in membranes prepared from both differentiated and non-differentiated HL60 cells. Both the extent of the response and the rank order of potency of the GTP analogues to stimulate PPI-pde activation (guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) greater than guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) greater than guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-methylene]triphosphate (p[CH2]ppG) remains unchanged after differentiation with dimethyl sulphoxide. In comparison, differentiation by dibutyryl cyclic AMP leads to diminution of PPI-pde activity when stimulated by GTP[S] or fluoride, but not by millimolar concentrations of Ca2+. GTP[S]-stimulated PPI-pde in membranes is sensitive to the presence of Ca2+ (pCa 8-5). Pertussis-toxin pretreatment of intact HL60 cells leads to inhibition of both the secretory response and the formation of inositol phosphates when stimulated by fMetLeuPhe. In contrast, pertussis-toxin pretreatment has no effect on either GTP[S]- or fluoride-stimulated PPI-pde. Neomycin in a concentration-dependent manner inhibits both GTP[S] plus Ca2+ (pCa 5)-stimulated secretion and PPI-pde activation in streptolysin-O-permeabilized cells. The extent of PPI-pde activation in membranes compared with streptolysin-O-permeabilized cells reveals that the membrane preparation does not possess all the components that make up the inositide signalling system.

The effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on adenylate cyclase activity was examined in ventricular myocytes isolated from the adult rat heart. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor Ro 20-1724 (0.5 mM) and adenosine deaminase (5 U/ml), these intact cells accumulate cyclic AMP when stimulated by isoproterenol. NPY (10(-9) to 10(-6) M) reduced the degree of cAMP accumulation achieved by 10(-7) M isoproterenol in a dose dependend manner by 10 to maximally 48%. The IC50 value was 3 x 10(-8) M NPY. A maximal concentration (10(-6) M) of N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) decreased cAMP levels by 39%, i.e. to a similar extent. Prior treatment of the myocytes with pertussis toxin (1 microgram/ml for 6 h) increased the mean stimulated values in the presence of isoproterenol (10(-7) M) by a factor 4.1. In such cells, NPY and PIA were ineffective in antagonizing the stimulation of cAMP production by isoproterenol. These results indicate that the ventricular myocyte has receptors for NPY, similar to the A1 adenosine-receptor in that they are linked to the adenylate cyclase by an inhibitory guanylate binding protein.

Highly purified tryptic fragments of calmodulin were tested for their ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity of Bordetella pertussis spheroplast membranes and were compared to their activities on brain Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. The C-terminal fragment, consisting of residues 78-148, was a full agonist for the cyclase with 0.1-0.15 the potency of calmodulin but did not stimulate phosphodiesterase. Fragments 1-77, 1-90, and 107-148 stimulated adenylate cyclase (and not phosphodiesterase) at low potency; this was not due to calmodulin contamination, but contamination by fragment 78-148 could not be excluded with certainty. An adduct of norchlorpromazine isothiocyanate and calmodulin showed full agonist activity for adenylate cyclase at 0.01-0.02 the potency of calmodulin. Stimulation of adenylate cyclase by a number of the fragments occurred in the absence of Ca2+, but stimulator potency was enhanced 20-60-fold in its presence. The similarity of Ca2+ requirements of fragment 78-148 and calmodulin suggests that occupancy of the two C-terminal Ca2+ binding sites of calmodulin accounts for most of the Ca2+ enhancement of calmodulin stimulation of adenylate cyclase.

The effect of somatostatin on the stimulation of adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production by arginine vasopressin (AVP) was examined in rat renal papillary collecting tubule cells in culture. The presence of phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine AVP at a concentration of 1 X 10(-10) M or higher significantly increased cellular cAMP levels in a dose-dependent manner. The stimulation by AVP of cellular cAMP production was significantly attenuated by 1 X 10(-6) M somatostatin (1 X 10(-9) M AVP, 477.5 +/- 23.0 vs. 292.4 +/- 28.5 fmol/micrograms protein per 10 min, P less than 0.01). When the cells were pretreated with pertussis toxin, pertussis toxin completely abolished the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on cellular cAMP production in response to AVP. Such an effect was obtained with a concentration of 0.1 ng/ml or higher of pertussis toxin and an incubation time of longer than an hour. The exposure of cells to 100 ng/ml pertussis toxin for two hours recovered the cellular cAMP response to 1 X 10(-9) M AVP in the presence of 1 X 10(-6) M somatostatin, the value of which 527.1 +/- 32.6 fmol/micrograms protein per 10 minutes, was a comparable level to that in response to only 1 X 10(-9) M AVP. Also, somatostatin inhibited the cellular cAMP response to glucagon and cholera toxin, but did not inhibit basal and forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels. Pertussis toxin treatment of cells completely abolished these inhibitory effects of somatostatin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The formation of the second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) is known to be coupled to its receptor via a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, GS. Ca2+-mobilizing receptors stimulate the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), which generates two intracellular signals Ins(1,4,5)P3 and diacylglycerol. We review the evidence that this signalling system is also composed of three types of proteins: receptor, G-protein and effector. The G-protein that couples to the effector, polyphosphoinositide phosphodiesterase (PPI-PDE), is a novel G-protein, GP, which is a substrate for pertussis toxin in some cells (e.g. neutrophils and platelets) but not others (e.g. pancreatic acinar cells and GH3 cells). This implies that GP is not a single G-protein but encompasses a family of proteins that can activate PPI-PDE. We have also identified a role for another G-protein, GE, which is involved in the secretory process in mast cells and neutrophils. In this case, neither the receptor nor effector has been identified and the main evidence for proposing this second G-protein is based on the ability of guanine nucleotide analogues (e.g. GTP gamma S) to stimulate secretion independently of PPI-PDE activation.

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.

Using purified rat ventricular myocytes and membranes prepared from them, we have previously found that alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation causes decreased cyclic AMP accumulation and decreased activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. We have now analyzed the mechanism by which alpha 1 stimulation is linked to cyclic AMP metabolism. In an adenylate cyclase assay in which carbachol inhibits the stimulatory effect of norepinephrine, the addition of prazosin (alpha 1-antagonist) has no effect on the response to norepinephrine. In membranes prepared from myocytes treated with pertussis toxin, norepinephrine competes for alpha 1-receptors (assessed by [3H]prazosin binding) with two components, binding to the high affinity component being sensitive to exogenous GTP, exactly as in membranes prepared from control myocytes. In intact cells labeled with [3H]adenine in which carbachol antagonizes the norepinephrine response, prazosin enhances accumulation of [3H]cyclic AMP due to norepinephrine. Treatment of cells with pertussis toxin eliminates inhibition by carbachol but does not alter prazosin's capacity to enhance the norepinephrine response. Addition of phosphodiesterase inhibitors eliminates this effect of alpha 1 blockade. In [3H]adenine-labeled cells loaded with [3H]cyclic AMP by prior treatment with isoproterenol, alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation enhances disappearance of [3H]cyclic AMP. Measurements of cellular cyclic AMP give results similar to those obtained with the adenine labeling technic. We conclude that occupation of the myocyte alpha 1-receptor results in stimulation of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity.

The effects of adenosine deaminase and of pertussis toxin on hormonal regulation of lipolysis were investigated in isolated human fat cells. Adenosine deaminase (1.6 micrograms/ml) caused a two-to threefold increase in cyclic AMP, which was associated with an increase in glycerol release averaging 150-200% above basal levels. Clonidine, N6-phenylisopropyladenosine, prostaglandin E2, and insulin caused a dose-dependent inhibition of glycerol release in the presence of adenosine deaminase. Pretreatment of adipocytes with pertussis toxin (5 micrograms/ml) for 180 min resulted in a five- to sevenfold increase in cyclic AMP. Glycerol release was almost maximal and isoproterenol caused either no further increase or only a marginal additional increase of lipolysis after pretreatment with pertussis toxin, whereas cyclic AMP levels were 500 times higher than in controls. The effects of antilipolytic agents known to affect lipolysis by inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity, i.e., clonidine, N6-phenylisopropyladenosine, and prostaglandin E2, were impaired. In contrast, the antilipolytic action of insulin was preserved in adipocytes pretreated with pertussis toxin. As in controls, the peptide hormone had no detectable effect on cyclic AMP after pertussis toxin treatment. The findings support the view that the antilipolytic effect of insulin does not require adenylate cyclase or phosphodiesterase action. In addition, the results demonstrate that, upon relief of endogenous inhibition, human fat cell lipolysis proceeds at considerable (adenosine deaminase) or almost maximal (pertussis toxin) rates. A certain degree of inhibition, therefore, appears to be necessary for human fat cell lipolysis to be susceptible for hormonal activation.

Numerous hormones are known to rapidly activate polyphosphoinositide turnover in target cells by promoting phosphodiesteratic cleavage of the phospholipids; however, little is known about the enzymology of receptor-mediated phosphoinositide breakdown. In the present study, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation of polyphosphoinositide turnover has been characterized in electrically permeabilized, [3H]myoinositol-labeled GH3 cells. The permeable cells allow the influence of small molecular weight (Mr less than or equal to 1000) cofactors to be determined. We present evidence for the following: 1) TRH stimulates inositol phosphate generation in permeable cells; 2) optimal hormone-stimulated inositol phosphate generation requires Mg2+, ATP, and Ca2+; 3) Mg2+ and ATP requirements reflect polyphosphoinositide kinase reactions; 4) in the absence of MgATP, TRH stimulates the phosphodiesteratic breakdown of pre-existing polyphosphoinositides in a reaction which requires only low Ca2+ (10(-7) M); 5) hormone activation is potentiated in the presence of the stable guanine nucleotide, GTP gamma S; neither TRH-stimulated nor GTP gamma S-potentiated hydrolysis is inhibited by cholera or pertussis toxin treatment. These results demonstrate that hormone-induced phospholipid hydrolysis involves activation of a phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase; activation results in lowering the Ca2+ requirement of the phosphodiesterase such that maximal activity is observed at Ca2+ levels characteristic of a resting cell (10(-7) M). Furthermore, TRH regulation of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis is modulated by guanine nucleotides; however, nucleotide regulation appears to involve a GTP-binding factor (Np) other than Ns or Ni.

The intracellular signals generated by carbachol activation of the muscarinic receptor [release of inositol phosphates as a consequence of phosphoinositide hydrolysis and rise of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i, measured by quin2)] were studied in intact PC12 pheochromocytoma cells that had been differentiated by treatment with nerve growth factor. When measured in parallel samples of the same cell preparation 30 s after receptor activation, the release of inositol trisphosphate and of its possible metabolites, inositol bis- and mono-phosphate, and the [Ca2+]i rise were found to occur with almost superimposable carbachol concentration curves. At the same time carbachol caused a decrease in the radioactivity of preloaded phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, the precursor of inositol trisphosphate. Neither the inositol phosphate nor the [Ca2+]i signal was modified by preincubation of the cells with either purified Bordetella pertussis toxin or forskolin, the direct activator of adenylate cyclase. Both signals were partially inhibited by dibutyryl cyclic AMP, especially when the nucleotide analogue was applied in combination with the phosphodiesterase inhibitors RO 201724 and theophylline. The latter drug alone profoundly inhibited the carbachol-induced [Ca2+]i rise, with only minimal effect on phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Because of the diverging results obtained with forskolin on the one hand, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and phosphodiesterase inhibitors on the other, the effects of the latter drugs are considered to be pharmacological, independent of the intracellular cyclic AMP concentration. Two further drugs tested, mepacrine and MY5445, inhibited phosphoinositide hydrolysis at the same time as the 45Ca2+ influx stimulated by carbachol. Taken together, our results concur with previous evidence obtained with permeabilized cells and cell fractions to indicate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis and [Ca2+]i rise as two successive events in the intracellular transduction cascade initiated by receptor activation. The strict correlation between the carbachol concentration curves for inositol trisphosphate generation and [Ca2+]i rise, and the inhibition by theophylline of the Ca2$ signal without major effects on inositol phosphate generation, satisfy important requirements of the abovementioned interpretation.
