The aim of this study was to elucidate the cellular mechanisms of action of epidermal growth factor (EGF) inhibition of parietal cell secretion. EGF effects on histamine- and carbachol-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine (AP) uptake and intrinsic factor (IF) secretion were evaluated in isolated rabbit parietal cells. EGF inhibited histamine-stimulated [14C]AP uptake and IF secretion through a reduction in stimulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels. EGF decreased the phosphorylation of a cytosolic 30-kDa, histamine-stimulated, cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrate. These effects on histamine-stimulated activation were reversed by pertussis toxin preincubation. EGF inhibited carbachol-stimulated [14C]AP uptake and IF secretion, but did not alter the carbachol-stimulated Ca2+ transient. These results indicate that EGF inhibits histamine-stimulated secretion through the inhibitory Gi guanosine 5'-triphosphate-binding protein and carbachol-stimulated secretion through a mechanism independent of the activation of an increase in intracellular Ca2+.

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) inhibits the proliferative response of mink lung epithelial cells (CCL64) to serum and to epidermal growth factor (EGF). This response to TGF beta 1 can be inhibited by prior exposure of the cells to nanogram concentrations of pertussis toxin (PT), suggesting the involvement of a guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (G-protein) in mediating TGF beta 1-induced growth inhibition. To characterize further this G-protein dependence, we have isolated, by chemical mutagenesis, a CCL64 variant (CCL64-D1) that is resistant to TGF beta 1. Whereas in the parental CCL64 cells TGF beta 1 stimulates both GTP[35S] (guanosine 5'-[gamma-[35S]thio]triphosphate) binding and GTPase activity, in the CCL64-D1 variants TGF beta 1 is without effect. Quantitative immunoblotting with antisera for G-protein alpha- and beta-subunits, as well as PT-catalysed ADP-ribosylation analyses, revealed no appreciable changes in the level of G-protein expression in the CCL64-D1 variants compared with parental cells. In contrast with another TGF beta-resistant clone, MLE-M, which we show lacks detectable type I receptor protein, the CCL64-D1 cells retain all three TGF beta cell-surface binding proteins. On the basis of these studies, we propose that a necessary component of TGF beta 1-mediated growth inhibition in CCL64 epithelial cells is the coupling of TGF beta 1 receptor binding to G-protein activation.

Studies were performed to investigate regulatory pathways of loop diuretic-sensitive Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells. Angiotensin II, alpha-thrombin, and epidermal growth factor (EGF) all stimulated Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport in a concentration-dependent manner. Pertussis toxin pretreatment reduced the effects of angiotensin II and alpha-thrombin but not that of EGF. Addition of the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine or down-regulation of protein kinase C by prolonged incubation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate partially reduced the effects of angiotensin II and alpha-thrombin and completely blunted the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced stimulation of Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport but did not affect EGF-induced stimulation. Exposure of cells to a calcium ionophore, A23187, resulted in a concentration-dependent stimulation of Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport, which was not significantly inhibited by down-regulation of protein kinase C but was completely inhibited by the calmodulin antagonist, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7). Stimulation of the cotransport by angiotensin II or alpha-thrombin was also partially inhibited by W-7. Inhibitory effects of protein kinase C down-regulation and W-7 were additive and, when combined, produced a complete inhibition of angiotensin II-induced stimulation of Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport. In saponin-permeabilized mesangial cells, phosphorylation of a synthetic decapeptide substrate for Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II, Pro-Leu-Ser-Arg-Thr-Leu-Ser-Val-Ser-Ser-NH3, was demonstrated. Maximal activation of the decapeptide substrate phosphorylation required the presence of Ca2+ and calmodulin and was dependent on Ca2+ concentration. These findings indicate that stimulation of Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport by angiotensin II and alpha-thrombin is mediated by protein kinase C and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinases whereas the action of EGF is mediated by other pathways.

The decrease in plasma Pi concentration and in Pi tubular reabsorption that is often encountered in malignant hypercalcemia may be ascribed to a tumor-produced parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related protein. However, tumors are known to synthesize a variety of substances, among which is transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha). We investigated the effects of TGF-alpha on Na-dependent Pi transport and on the response to PTH-related protein in cultured opossum renal epithelial cells. TGF-alpha caused a concentration- and time-dependent decrease in Na-dependent Pi transport. The inhibition of Na-dependent Pi transport was detectable by 14 h of incubation and maximal by 24 h. At that time, a concentration of 10 ng/ml of TGF-alpha produced a 35 +/- 1% inhibition. This was not associated with any change in prostaglandin production. The adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) response to PTH-related protein, PTH, prostaglandin E2 or forskolin, but not to pertussis toxin, was diminished in cells treated with TGF-alpha for 24 h. Similar effects on Na-dependent Pi transport and cAMP production were observed in cells incubated with epidermal growth factor. The inhibition of Na-dependent Pi transport induced by either PTH-related protein or PTH was reduced after incubation with TGF-alpha. Thus two different tumoral products, TGF-alpha and PTH-related protein, are each capable of inhibiting Na-dependent Pi transport in cultured renal cells. Both peptides may also interact and influence the effects of each other on renal Pi transport.

We studied the mechanism whereby insulin activates de novo phosphatidic acid synthesis in BC3H-1 myocytes. Insulin rapidly activated glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (G3PAT) in intact and cell-free preparations of myocytes in a dose-related manner. The apparent Km of the enzyme was decreased by treatment with insulin, whereas the Vmax was unaffected. No activation was found by ACTH, insulin-like growth factor-I, angiotensin II, or phenylephrine, but epidermal growth factor, which, like insulin, is known to activate de novo phosphatidic acid synthesis in intact myocytes, also stimulated G3PAT activity. In homogenates or membrane fractions, the effect of insulin on G3PAT was fully mimicked by nonspecific or phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific phospholipase C (PLC). An antiserum raised against PI-glycan-PLC completely blocked the effect of insulin on G3PAT. Although the above findings suggested involvement of a PLC in insulin-induced activation of G3PAT, neither diacylglycerol nor protein kinase C activation appeared to be involved. On the other hand, insulin stimulated the release of a cytosolic factor, which activated membrane-associated G3PAT. This cytosolic factor had a molecular weight of less than 5K as determined by Sephadex G-25 chromatography. NaF, a phosphatase inhibitor, blocked the activation of G3PAT by insulin, suggesting involvement of a phosphatase. Insulin-induced activation of G3PAT was also blocked by pretreatment of intact myocytes with pertussis toxin and by prior addition, to homogenates, of an antiserum that recognizes the C-terminal decapeptide of Gi alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF alpha) and TGF alpha/epidermal growth factor receptor messenger ribonucleic acid have recently been demonstrated in isolated parietal cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of TGF alpha on basal and stimulated secretion in vitro with the isolated rabbit parietal cell model. Acid secretion was assessed indirectly with cell uptake of carbon 14-labeled aminopyrine [( 14C]AP). TGF alpha (10(-11) to 10(-7) mol/L) had no effect on unstimulated [14C]AP uptake. TGF alpha dose dependently inhibited histamine (10(-5) to 10(-6) mol/L)-stimulated but not forskolin (10(-5) to 10(-7) mol/L)-stimulated [14C]AP uptake. This effect on histamine-stimulated activation was reversed by pertussis toxin (200 ng/ml) before incubation. TGF alpha had no effect on carbachol (10(-5) to 10(-6) mol/L)-stimulated [14C]AP uptake. Specific HCO3-buffer studies demonstrated that these observations were independent of extracellular buffer and possible TGF alpha effects on intracellular pH. Our data indicate that TGF alpha inhibits acid secretion by specifically uncoupling histamine/cyclic adenosine monophosphate transduction at the guanosine triphosphate-binding protein. TGF alpha, unlike epidermal growth factor, has no effect on carbachol stimulation, which suggests a qualitative difference between the biologic actions of TGF alpha and epidermal growth factor. Possible autocrine-paracrine modulation of histamine stimulation by TGF alpha invokes a novel regulatory mechanism of parietal cell secretion.

The effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the metabolism of phosphatidylinositol were examined using A431 cells labeled with either 32PO3(4)- or myo-[3H] inositol. EGF was found to increase the incorporation of phosphate into phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate, and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate as early as 15 s after addition of hormone. These changes were found to be due to two effects of EGF on the phosphatidylinositol cycle. First, EGF stimulated the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate to diacylglycerol and an inositol triphosphate. In addition, EGF induced a rise in the levels of phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate. The EGF-dependent increases in both inositol triphosphate production and phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate levels were inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Treatment of the cells with pertussis toxin did not inhibit either of these responses. However, treatment of the cells with cholera toxin selectively abolished the ability of EGF to stimulate the rise in phosphatidylinositol monophosphate levels but did not alter the ability of the hormone to induce the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol diphosphate. The effects of cholera toxin were not mimicked by forskolin, cAMP analogs, or isobutyl-methylxanthine. These data demonstrate that EGF stimulates the production of inositol triphosphate. In addition, the findings are consistent with the hypothesis that EGF independently stimulates a phosphatidylinositol kinase. Based on the effects of cholera toxin and the inability of cyclic nucleotides to mimic this response, the effect of EGF on the phosphatidylinositol kinase may be mediated via a guanine nucleotide-binding protein that is not involved in cAMP production.

The action of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) on calcium influx was studied in BALB/c 3T3 cells. IGF-II did not affect calcium influx rate in either quiescent or platelet-derived growth factor-treated "competent" cells. In contrast, IGF-II induced an approximately 2-fold sustained increase in calcium influx rate in competent cells briefly primed with epidermal growth factor ("primed competent" cells). The IGF-II-stimulated calcium influx was dependent on extracellular calcium and was inhibited by lanthanum, cobalt, and tetramethlin but not by nitrendipine. The IGF-II-stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation was also dependent on extracellular calcium and was inhibited by cobalt and tetramethlin. A pharmacological stimulation of calcium influx by BAYK8644 resulted in an increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation in primed competent cells but not in either quiescent or competent cells. Pretreatment of primed competent cells with pertussis toxin completely abolished subsequent action of IGF-II on both calcium influx and [3H]thymidine incorporation. Inhibitory actions of pertussis toxin correlated well with toxin-induced ADP-ribosylation of a 41-kDa protein. The binding of 125I-IGF-II to membrane fraction was inhibited by guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate), and this inhibition was reversed by pretreatment of the cell with pertussis toxin. These results suggest that IGF-II stimulates calcium influx in primed competent BALB/c 3T3 cells by a mechanism involving G protein and that calcium influx may be a message of IGF-II action on cell proliferation.

Rat parietal cells were incubated for 2 h with pertussis toxin (100 ng/ml) which ADP-ribosylates and inactivates guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins (G proteins) of the 'Gi-like' family. The effect of this pretreatment on the action of inhibitors of parietal cell acid secretion was investigated by using the accumulation of the weak base aminopyrine as an index of secretory activity. The inhibitory actions of near maximally effective concentrations of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), somatostatin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on histamine-stimulated aminopyrine accumulation were reduced by 83%, 72% and 70%, respectively, by preincubation with pertussis toxin. By contrast, the inhibitory action of a near maximally effective concentration of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate on histamine-stimulated aminopyrine accumulation was reduced by only 12%. It is concluded that G-proteins are involved in the inhibitory actions of PGE2, somatostatin and EGF on parietal cells. However, since the inhibitory actions of PGE2 and EGF can be distinguished by the blockade of the action of EGF, but not that of PGE2, by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, it is possible that PGE2 and EGF either activate the same G-protein in different ways or work through different G-proteins.

In the preceding report (Kelvin, D.J., G. Simard, H.H. Tai, T.P. Yamaguchi, and J.A. Connolly. 1989. J. Cell Biol. 108:159-167) we demonstrated that pertussis toxin (PT) blocked proliferation and induced differentiation in BC3H1 muscle cells. In the present study, we have used PT to examine specific growth factor signaling pathways that may regulate these processes. Inhibition of [3H]thymidine by PT in 20% FBS was reversed in a dose-dependent fashion by purified fibroblast growth factor (FGF). In 0.5% FBS, the normally induced increase in creatine kinase (CK) activity was blocked by FGF in both the presence and absence of PT. Similar results were obtained with purified epidermal growth factor (EGF). We subsequently examined the effect of a family of growth factors linked to inositol lipid hydrolysis and found that thrombin, like FGF, would increase [3H]thymidine incorporation and block CK synthesis. However, PT blocked thymidine incorporation induced by thrombin, and blocked the inhibition of CK turn-on in 0.5% FBS by thrombin. The ras oncogene, a G protein homologue, has previously been shown to block muscle cell differentiation in C2 muscle cells (Olson, E.N., G. Spizz, and M.A. Tainsky. 1987. Mol. Cell. Biol. 7:2104-2111); we have characterized a BC3H1 cell line, BCT31, which we transfected with the val12 oncogenic Harvey ras gene. This cell line did not express CK in response to serum deprivation. Whereas [3H]thymidine incorporation was inhibited by 70-80% by increasing doses of PT in control cells, BCT31 cells were only inhibited by 15-20%. ADP ribosylation studies indicate this PT-insensitivity is not because of the lack of a PT substrate in this cell line. Furthermore, PT could not induce CK expression in BCT31 cells as it did in parental cells. We conclude that there are at least two distinct growth factor pathways that play a key role in regulating proliferation and differentiation in BC3H1 muscle cells, one of which is PT sensitive, and postulate that a G protein is involved in transducing signals from the thrombin receptor. We believe that ras functions in the transduction of growth factor signals in the nonPT-sensitive pathway or downstream from the PT substrate in the second pathway.
