We have compared the abilities of extracellular ATP (acting via P2-purinergic receptors) and formylated peptides (FMLP) to stimulate both phospholipase D (PLD)-based signal transduction and primary granule (azurophilic) secretion in HL-60 cells induced to differentiate along the granulocytic pathway. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, neither ATP nor FMLP elicited significant PLD activation or increased secretion despite the previously documented ability of ATP to stimulate large increases in polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis and Ca2+ mobilization. Conversely, within 1 d after induction of granulocytic differentiation by dibutyryl cAMP, both ATP and FMLP induced large increases in azurophilic secretion and corresponding increases in PLD activity. ATP-activated PLD activity was near-maximal within 1 d after dibutyryl cAMP treatment, while the FMLP-induced activity increased continuously over 4 d, with a maximal level twice that stimulated by ATP. Additional experiments characterized the activation of PLD by receptor-independent pathways at different stages of differentiation; these included studies of phorbol ester action in intact cells and GTP gamma S action in electropermeabilized cells. An apparent role for guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins in PLD regulation was also indicated by the significant reduction in FMLP- and ATP-stimulated PLD activity observed in cells pretreated with pertussis toxin. At all stages of differentiation, there was good correlation between the relative efficacies of ATP versus FMLP in stimulating both secretion and PLD activity. These data indicate: (a) that the receptor-regulated phospholipase D signaling pathway is induced during differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells; and (b) that differential activation of this signaling system by various Ca(2+)-mobilizing receptor agonists may underlie the differential regulation of secretion and other phagocyte functions by such agents.

The hydrolytic activity of microsomal phospholipase D from canine cerebral cortex was measured by a radiochemical assay using 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoryl[3H]choline and 1-palmitoyl-2-[9,10(n)-3H]palmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphorylcholine as the exogenous substrates. Of several detergents tested, Triton X-100 was found to be the most effective in allowing expression of phospholipase D hydrolytic activity. The microsomal phospholipase D does not require any metal ion for its hydrolytic activity. Calcium and magnesium were slightly inhibitory between concentrations of 1 and 4 mM, but zinc was greatly inhibitory, causing a loss of greater than 90% activity at the 4 mM concentration. Non-hydrolyzable guanine nucleotide analogues such as guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate and guanyl-5'-yl-(beta, gamma-methylene)diphosphonate but not guanosine 5'-(2-thio)diphosphate were able persistently to stimulate phospholipase D hydrolytic activity at micromolar concentrations. Guanosine 5'-(2-thio)diphosphate was capable of partially blocking guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate stimulation of phospholipase D. Aluminum fluoride was able to cause a two- to threefold increase in hydrolytic activity of the phospholipase D. Cholera toxin had a stimulatory effect on the hydrolytic activity of phospholipase D, whereas islet-activating protein pertussis toxin had no effect. These results indicate that regulation of microsomal phosphatidylcholine phospholipase D activity by the guanine nucleotide-binding protein(s) in canine cerebral cortex may play an important role in signal transduction processes as well as in brain choline metabolism.

Stimulation of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) may result in the metabolism of phospholipids other than phosphoinositides to generate second-messenger intermediary metabolites. We investigated agonist-induced breakdown of 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-GPC), which constitutes almost half the diradyl-GPC fraction in human PMN (Mueller, H. W., O'Flaherty, J. T., Green, D. G., Samuel, M. P., and Wykle, R. L. (1984) J. Lipid Res. 25: 383-388), in cells prelabeled with 1-O-[3H] alkyl-2-acyl-GPC. We also utilized normal-phase high pressure liquid chromatography to quantitate the accumulation of diradylglycerols (1-O-alkyl-2-acylglycerols and diacylglycerols) in stimulated PMN. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol-, calcium ionophore A23187-, and f-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) stimulation of PMN resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent hydrolysis of 1-O-[3H]alkyl-2-acyl-GPC and the formation of 1-O-[3H]alkyl-2-acyl-phosphatidic acid (PA) and 1-O-[3H]alkyl-2-acylglycerol. In all cases formation of 1-O-[3H]alkyl-2-acyl-PA preceded that of 1-O-[3H]alkyl-2-acylglycerol. The times between addition of stimulus and appearance of 1-O-[3H] alkyl-2-acylglycerol varied for PMA (40 s at 1.6 microM), A23187 (5 min at 5 microM), and fMLP (30 sec at 1 microM). Preincubation of cells with 1 microgram/ml pertussis toxin (PT) inhibited the breakdown of 1-O-[3H]alkyl-2-acyl-GPC in cells stimulated with 1 microM fMLP, indicating a role for a PT-sensitive G protein with this stimulus. Quantitation of diglycerides as diradylglycerobenzoates in PMN stimulated with PMA (10 min), A23187 (10 min), or fMLP demonstrated marked accumulation of both 1-O-alkyl-2-acylglycerols and diacylglycerols. The highest increases over controls were observed for fMLP (33-fold for 1-O-alkyl-2-acylglycerols and 17-fold for diacylglycerols). In stimulated PMN prelabeled with 1-O-[3H]hexadecyl-2-acyl-GPC and 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-[32P]phosphocholine, the ratio of 3H to 32P in 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-PA compared to 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-GPC suggested the involvement of a phospholipase D in the hydrolysis of 1-O-[3H]-alkyl-2-acyl-GPC. Thus, stimulation of human PMN results in the hydrolysis of 1-O-[3H]alkyl-2-acyl-GPC to yield 1-O-[3H] alkyl-2-acyl-PA and 1-O-[3H]alkyl-2-acylglycerol possibly initiated by activation of a phospholipase D.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Treatment with pertussis toxin not only prevents inhibitory effects (e.g., reduced adenylate cyclase activity, decreased voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry, increased K+ efflux, and negative inotropy) but also unmasks stimulant effects (e.g., membrane depolarization and positive inotropy) of carbachol in chick atria. Pertussis toxin prevents transducer proteins (Ni and No) from linking muscarinic receptors to either adenylate cyclase and Ca2+ channels or K+ channels. However, pertussis toxin treatment does not block N proteins linking the muscarinic receptor to stimulant membrane effects. Membrane depolarization by carbachol, attributed by others to increased Na+ entry, may stimulate Na-Ca exchange and positive inotropy, perhaps by activation of phospholipase D. Alternatively, carbachol could increase inositol triphosphate content and thereby release Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to increase the force of contraction. The ability of carbachol to increase phosphoinositide hydrolysis is resistant to pertussis toxin. The second-messenger role of phospholipid metabolites provides a foundation for testing the hypothesis that such metabolites are eventually involved in the stimulant actions of carbachol seen in pertussis toxin-treated preparations.

In dibutyryl-cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells, histamine H1 and formyl peptide receptors mediate increases in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) via pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins of the Gi family. We compared the effects of 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-histamine (CPH) [2-[2-(3-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl] ethanamine], one of the most potent and selective H1 receptor agonists presently available, with those of histamine and N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMLP) in these cells. CPH increased [Ca2+]i through Ca2+ mobilization and Ca2+ influx. Unlike histamine-induced rises in [Ca2+]i, those induced by CPH were not desensitized in a homologous manner, and there was no cross-desensitization between CPH and histamine. Like fMLP, CPH activated phospholipases C and D, tyrosine phosphorylation, superoxide anion formation, and azurophilic granule release. The effects of CPH on [Ca2+]i, phospholipase D, and superoxide anion formation were inhibited by pertussis toxin. CPH and fMLP stimulated high affinity GTP hydrolysis by Gi proteins in HL-60 membranes. They also enhanced binding of guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate and GTP azidoanilide to, and cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of, Gi protein alpha subunits. Histamine receptor antagonists did not inhibit the stimulatory effects of CPH, and CPH did not reduce fMLP binding in HL-60 membranes. Our data suggest that CPH activates Gi proteins in HL-60 cells through a receptor agonist-like mechanism that is, however, independent of known histamine receptor subtypes and formyl peptide receptors. CPH may be an agonist at an as yet unknown histamine receptor subtype or, by analogy with other cationic-amphiphilic substances, may activate G proteins directly. Future studies will have to take into consideration the fact that CPH, in addition to activating H1 receptors, may show other, most unexpected, stimulatory effects on G protein-mediated signal transduction processes.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is the major pancreatic secretagogue and acinar cell mitogen. This study was performed to determine by which effector systems CCK regulates tyrosine kinases, phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase, and phospholipase D (PLD) activities. Pancreatic acini loaded with [3H]myristic acid or [3H]inositol were used to assay PLD and PtdIns 3-kinase. G protein activation with NaF increased particulate and crude cytosolic tyrosine kinase and PLD activities. PLD activation was pertussis toxin sensitive. Inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) slightly reduced caerulein-stimulated particulate tyrosine kinase and blocked crude cytosolic tyrosine kinase activity without affecting caerulein-induced PLD activity. Ca2+ is an important factor in caerulein stimulation of tyrosine kinase and PLD activities. Protein kinase C and tyrosine kinase inhibition abolished caerulein-activated particulate and crude cytosolic tyrosine kinase and PtdIns 3-kinase activities without any effect on PLD. Wortmannin inhibited PLD and PtdIns 3-kinase activation. Caerulein-induced amylase secretion was partially reduced by tyrosine kinase inhibition, with no effect from wortmannin. Caerulein can stimulate a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein, leading to particulate tyrosine kinase activation and a Ca(2+)-sensitive cytosolic tyrosine kinase through PLC activation. However, PLD activation by caerulein is pertussis toxin sensitive, cytosolic Ca2+ sensitive, and independent of previous PLC and tyrosine kinase activation.

In the present study, we examined the effect of vasopressin (AVP) on phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D activity in primary cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. AVP stimulation of choline formation was dose dependent. The time-course was quite different from those of inositol phosphates. The effect of AVP on the formation of inositol phosphates (EC50 was 3 nM) was more potent than that on the formation of choline (EC50 was 30 nM). 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), stimulated the formation of choline. However, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, which is inactive for PKC, had little effect. Staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinases, which inhibited the TPA-induced formation of choline, had little effect on the AVP-induced formation of choline. Neither calphostin C, a highly specific PKC inhibitor, nor PKC down-regulation with TPA affected AVP-induced formation of choline. A combination of AVP and TPA additively stimulated the formation of choline. The depletion of extracellular Ca2+ by (ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)tetraacetic acid significantly reduced the AVP-induced formation of choline. W-7, an antagonist of calmodulin, inhibited the AVP-induced formation of choline in a dose-dependent manner. NaF, an activator for GTP-binding protein (G-protein), stimulated the formation of choline. However, the formation of choline by a combination of AVP and NaF was not additive. Pertussis toxin had little effect on the AVP-induced formation of choline.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The role of protein kinase C alpha 2-adrenoceptor-induced contractions of rabbit saphenous vein was investigated. Contractions induced by the alpha 2-adrenoceptor-selective agonist 5-bromo-6-[2-imidazolin-2-ylamino]-quinoline (UK14304) were inhibited by prior treatment with pertussis toxin and by Ca2+ removal, confirming a Gi/Go-dependent coupling pathway which was highly dependent upon Ca2+ influx. Protein kinase C inhibitors calphostin-C and staurosporine each caused a non-competitive inhibition of UK14304 response. Down-regulation of protein kinase C by pretreatment with tetradecanoylphorbol acetate reduced UK14304 response by almost 90% with no effect on contractions induced by elevated KCl. The ineffectiveness of L-type Ca2+ channel blockers and the absence of stimulated 45Ca2+ uptake or efflux by UK14304 indicated that phospholipid-derived products were most likely responsible for protein kinase C activation. alpha 2-Adrenoceptor stimulation failed to increase [3H]myoinositol phosphate formation, but caused a significant increase in the formation of both [32P]phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol, indicating the possible activation of phospholipase D activity. These results suggest that protein kinase C is important for the vasoconstriction induced by alpha 2-adrenoceptors and that diacylglycerol derived from receptor-initiated phospholipase D activity may provide protein kinase C stimulation.

The novel 38-amino acid neuropeptide PACAP (pituitary adenylate activating peptide) has recently been shown to induce the pancreatic acinar tumour AR4-2J cell growth. This growth promoting effect of PACAP was, however, independent of adenylate cyclase activation but suppressed by pertussis toxin and the somatostatin analog SMS 201-995. This study was undertaken to search for potential cell signalling pathways involved in the growth promoting effect of PACAP on AR4-2J cells. The AR4-2J cells were grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium containing 10% foetal calf serum. For studies on cell signalling pathways, all experiments were carried out on cells which have reached 50 to 75% confluency. At that point, they were transferred to serum free medium overnight with or without 1 microCi/ml myristic acid. The next morning, cells were harvested, washed and used for tyrosine kinase and phospholipase D (PLD) activities. For studies on growth, cells were grown for 2 days in the presence of 1 nM PACAP +/- the different inhibitors of tyrosine kinase and PLD. PACAP-38 and -27 caused a dose-dependent and parallel activation of tyrosine kinase and PLD an effect prevented by the antagonist PACAP 7-38. PACAP-38-stimulated tyrosine kinase and PLD activation are both dose-dependently inhibited by SMS 201-995. Finally, PACAP-stimulated tyrosine kinase and PLD activities are both inhibited by cell's preincubation with genistein and pertussis toxin. After 2 days, the PACAP-induced increase in AR4-2J cell growth was significantly inhibited by increasing concentrations of genistein and wortmannin, inhibitors of tyrosine kinase, PLD and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, respectively. PACAP can induce concomitant activation of tyrosine kinase and PLD; this finding and the observation that inhibition of these two enzymes inhibited PACAP-induced AR4-2J cell growth strongly suggests that they are intimately involved in the overall process of PACAP-induced AR4-2J cell proliferation.

Repetitive mechanical stimulation of differentiated skeletal muscle in tissue culture increased the long-term production of prostaglandin F2 alpha, an anabolic stimulator of myofiber growth. Within 4 h of initiating mechanical stimulation, the enzymatic activity of cyclooxygenase (prostaglandin GH synthase [PGHS]), a regulatory enzyme in prostaglandin synthesis, was increased 82% (P < .005), and this increase was maintained for at least 24 h. Kinetic analysis of stretch-activated cyclooxygenase activity indicated a two to threefold decrease in the enzyme's Km, with little change in its Vmax. Immunocytochemical analysis of the cell cultures indicated the presence of high levels of the mitogen-inducible isoform of cyclooxygenase (PGHS-2) in the skeletal myofibers compared to the interstitial fibroblasts. While the stretch-induced increase in cyclooxygenase enzymatic activity was not inhibited by tetrodotoxin and therefore was independent of cellular electrical activity, the G protein inhibitor pertussis toxin prevented stretch-induced cyclooxygenase activation. Pertussis toxin also inhibited stretch-induced increases in PGF2 alpha production, phospholipase D activation, and cell growth. It is concluded that stretch of skeletal muscle increases muscle cell growth through a G protein-dependent process involving the activation of cyclooxygenase, an immediate early gene product.
