Stimulus Secretion Coupling

The formation of inositol phosphates in response to secretagogues was studied in rat pancreatic acini preincubated with [3H]inositol. Carbachol caused rapid increases in radioactive inositol phosphate, inositol bisphosphate and inositol trisphosphate . This effect was blocked by atropine, and also elicited by caerulein, but not by ionomycin or phorbol dibutyrate. Thus phospholipase C-mediated breakdown of polyphosphoinositides, with the resulting formation of inositol phosphates, may be an early step in the stimulus-secretion coupling pathway in exocrine pancreas. Inositol trisphosphate may function as a second messenger in the exocrine pancreas, coupling receptor activation to internal Ca2+ release.

Recent studies suggest that serotonergic receptor activation is coupled to phospholipase C-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, which results in the release of intracellular second messengers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether altered phosphoinositide metabolism is the basis for augmented vascular responsiveness to serotonin in genetic hypertension. Thoracic aortic segments isolated from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and Wistar-Kyoto normotensive rats (WKY) were labeled with myo-[3H]inositol and stimulated with serotonin in the presence of LiCl. Accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates was then quantitated by column chromatography. Basal inositol phosphate accumulation and basal incorporation of myo-[3H]inositol into aortic cell membranes from SHRSP was not significantly different from WKY values. At 2.6 x 10(-7) to 2.6 x 10(-4) M serotonin, phosphoinositide metabolism was significantly augmented in aortae from SHRSP compared with WKY. Depolarization (100 mM KCl) did not increase phosphoinositide hydrolysis above basal levels in SHRSP or WKY. 2-Nitro-4-carboxyphenyl-N,N-diphenyl carbamate (NCDC), an inhibitor of phospholipase C, prevented the serotonin-induced phosphoinositide metabolism. NCDC also partially inhibited phasic contractions (responses in calcium-free solution) to serotonin in aortas from SHRSP and WKY. In conclusion, abnormal phosphoinositide metabolism may be one mechanism responsible for the characteristic increase in vascular reactivity to serotonin in hypertension.

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.

Anion-exchange h.p.l.c. analysis of [3H]inositol phosphates derived from glucose-stimulated isolated pancreatic islets that had been prelabelled with myo-[3H]inositol revealed that the predominant inositol trisphosphate was the 1,3,4-isomer [Ins(1,3,4)P3]. The 1,4,5-isomer [Ins(1,4,5)P3] was also detectable, as was a more polar inositol phosphate with the chromatographic properties of inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4]. Glucose-induced accumulation of Ins(1,3,4)P3 was augmented by Li+ and occurred after maximal accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3. These findings suggest a possible role for Ins(1,3,4)P3 or its probable precursor Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 in stimulus-secretion coupling in pancreatic islets.

Previous studies of brown adipocytes identified an increased breakdown of phosphoinositides after selective alpha 1-adrenergic-receptor activation. The present paper reports that this response, elicited with phenylephrine in the presence of propranolol and measured as the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates, is accompanied by increased release of [3H]arachidonic acid from cells prelabelled with [3H]arachidonic acid. Differences between stimulated arachidonic acid release and formation of inositol phosphates included a requirement for extracellular Ca2+ for stimulated release of arachidonic acid but not for the formation of inositol phosphates and the preferential inhibition of inositol phosphate formation by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. The release of arachidonic acid in response to phenylephrine was associated with an accumulation of [3H]arachidonic acid-labelled diacylglycerol, and this response was not dependent on extracellular Ca2+ but was partially prevented by treatment with the phorbol ester. The release of arachidonic acid was also stimulated by melittin, which increases the activity of phospholipase A2, by ionophore A23187, by lipolytic stimulation with forskolin and by exogenous phospholipase C. The arachidonic acid response to phospholipase C was completely blocked by RHC 80267, an inhibitor of diacylglycerol lipase, but this inhibitor had no effect on release stimulated with melittin or A23187 and inhibited phenylephrine-stimulated release by only 40%. The arachidonate response to forskolin was additive with the responses to either phenylephrine or exogenous phospholipase C. These data indicate that brown adipocytes are capable of releasing arachidonic acid from neutral lipids via triacylglycerol lipolysis, and from phospholipids via phospholipase A2 or by the sequential activities of phospholipase C and diacylglycerol lipase. Our findings also suggest that the action of phenylephrine to promote the liberation of arachidonic acid utilizes both of these reactions.

Recent studies show that the effects of some oncogenes, integrins, growth factors and neuropeptides are mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the cytosolic kinase p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) and the cytoskeletal protein paxillin. Recently we demonstrated that cholecystokinin (CCK) C-terminal octapeptide (CCK-8) causes tyrosine phosphorylation of p125FAK and paxillin in rat pancreatic acini. The present study was aimed at examining whether protein kinase C (PKC) activation, calcium mobilization, cytoskeletal organization and small G-protein p21rho activation play a role in mediating the stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation by CCK-8 in acini. CCK-8-stimulated phosphorylation of p125FAK and paxillin reached a maximum within 2.5 min. The CCK-8 dose response for causing changes in the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was similar to that for p125FAK and paxillin phosphorylation, and both were to the left of that for receptor occupation and inositol phosphate production. PMA increased tyrosine phosphorylation of both proteins. The calcium ionophore A23187 caused only 25% of the maximal stimulation caused by CCK-8. GF109203X, a PKC inhibitor, completely inhibited phosphorylation with PMA but had no effect on the response to CCK-8. Depletion of [Ca2+]i by thapsigargin had no effect on CCK-8-stimulated phosphorylation. Pretreatment with both GF109203X and thapsigargin decreased CCK-8-stimulated phosphorylation of both proteins by 50%. Cytochalasin D, but not colchicine, completely inhibited CCK-8- and PMA-induced p125FAK and paxillin phosphorylation. Treatment with Clostridium botulinum C3 transferase, which inactivates p21rho, caused significant inhibition of CCK-8-stimulated p125FAK and paxillin phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that, in pancreatic acini, CCK-8 causes rapid p125FAK and paxillin phosphorylation that is mediated by both phospholipase C-dependent and -independent mechanisms. For this tyrosine phosphorylation to occur, the integrity of the actin, but not the microtubule, cytoskeleton is essential as well as the activation of p21rho.

To determine whether inositol phosphates are important second messengers in the regulation of Cl- secretion by airway epithelia, we examined the relationship between inositol phosphate accumulation and Cl- secretion in response to adrenergic agonists. We found that epinephrine stimulated Cl- secretion and inositol phosphate accumulation with similar concentration dependence. Although isoproterenol stimulated Cl- secretion, there was no effect of beta-adrenergic receptor activation on inositol phosphate accumulation. In contrast, alpha 1-adrenergic receptor activation stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation but failed to induce Cl- secretion. Another Cl- secretagogue, prostaglandin E1, also failed to stimulate inositol phosphate accumulation. These data suggest that inositol phosphate accumulation is neither sufficient nor required for stimulation of Cl- secretion in cultured canine tracheal epithelial cells.

A role for phospholipase C hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] as a mechanism of alpha 2-adrenergic signal transduction in rabbit tracheal epithelial cells (tracheocytes) was investigated in isolated cells grown in in vitro culture and prelabeled with myo-[3H]inositol (3 microCi/ml) for 72 h. Breakdown of polyphosphoinositides was measured by using thin-layer chromatography to detect phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PtdIns(4)P], and PtdIns(4,5)P2. Inositol phosphates were separated by ion-exchange column chromatography. The endogenous catecholamine l-epinephrine and alpha 2-adrenergic agonists clonidine and 1-(2,6-dichlorobenzylideneamino)guanidine (guanabenz) produced a rapid transient accumulation of inositol trisphosphate and inositol 4,5-bisphosphate and breakdown of [PtdIns(4)P] and PtdIns(4,5)P2. The alpha 2-adrenergic effects were not blocked by the beta-adrenergic antagonist DL-propranolol or by the alpha 1-adrenergic antagonists prazosin and methylurapidil but were inhibited by pertussis toxin and blocked by yohimbine, an alpha 2-adrenergic antagonist. The 50% effective concentration for guanabenz-stimulated inositol trisphosphate generation was right shifted from 0.3 to 0.9 microM by yohimbine. The results provide the first demonstration of alpha 2A-adrenergic activation of pertussis toxin-sensitive PtdIns(4,5)P2-dependent phospholipase C in mammalian tracheocytes. The findings are consistent with previous observations on alpha 2A-adrenergic-mediated activation of NaCl cotransport in these cells.

Rapid Kinetics

The rapid kinetics of [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation and turnover were examined in rat cerebral-cortex slices after muscarinic-receptor stimulation. Markedly increased [3H]inositol polyphosphate concentrations were observed to precede significant stimulated accumulation of [3H]inositol monophosphate. New steady-state accumulations of several 3H-labelled products were achieved after 5-10 min of continued agonist stimulation, but were rapidly and effectively reversed by subsequent receptor blockade. The results show that muscarinic-receptor activation involves phosphoinositidase C-catalysed hydrolysis initially of polyphosphoinositides rather than of phosphatidylinositol. Furthermore, prolonged carbachol stimulation is shown not to cause receptor desensitization, but to allow persistent hydrolysis of [3H]phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate and permit sustained metabolic flux through the inositol tris-/tetrakis-phosphate pathway.

Inositol Phosphate Production

The possible involvement of G-proteins in T cell antigen-receptor complex (TCR)-mediated inositol phosphate production was investigated in HPB-ALL T-cells, which were found to express the phospholipase C gamma 1 and beta 3 isoforms. Cross-linking the CD3 antigen on streptolysin-O-permeabilized cells stimulated a dose-dependent increase in inositol phosphate production, as did addition of guanosine 5′-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) or vanadate, a phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor. It was possible, therefore, that the CD3-antigen-mediated production of inositol phosphates was either via a G-protein-dependent mechanism or by stimulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. The CD3-induced inositol phosphate production was potentiated by addition of vanadate, but not by addition of GTP[S]. Guanosine 5′-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]) inhibited the rise in inositol phosphates induced by GTP[S], vanadate or cross-linking the CD3 antigen. The increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation stimulated by vanadate or the OKT3 monoclonal antibody was not observed in the presence of GDP[S], showing that in permeabilized HPB-ALL cells, GDP[S] inhibits the actions of tyrosine kinases as well as G-protein function. Addition of either ADP[S] or phenylarsine oxide inhibited CD3- and vanadate-mediated increases in both tyrosine phosphorylation and inositol phosphate production, but did not inhibit GTP[S]-stimulated inositol phosphate production. On the other hand, pretreatment of cells with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate inhibited subsequent GTP[S]-stimulated inositol phosphate production but did not inhibit significantly inositol phosphate production stimulated by either OKT3 F(ab')2 fragments or vanadate. Our results are consistent with the CD3 antigen stimulating inositol phosphate production by increasing the level of protein tyrosine phosphorylation, but not by activating a G-protein.

Inositol 1,4,5 Trisphosphate

Cross-linking of surface immunoglobulin (Ig) receptors on human B cells leads to the activation of a tyrosine kinase. The activated tyrosine kinase subsequently phosphorylates a number of substrates, including phospholipase C-gamma. This enzyme breaks down phosphoinositol bisphosphate to form two intracellular messengers, diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, leading to the activation of protein kinase C and the release of intracellular Ca2+ respectively. We have used h.p.l.c. and flow cytometry to measure accurately the inositol phosphate turnover and Ca2+ release in anti-Ig-stimulated human B cells. In particular, we have examined the effect of dose of the cross-linking antibody on the two responses. The identity of putative messenger inositol phosphates has been verified by structural analysis, and the amounts of both inositol phosphates and Ca2+ present have been quantified. In the Ramos Burkitt lymphoma, which is very sensitive to stimulus through its Ig receptors, both inositol phosphate production and Ca2+ release were found to be related to the dose of anti-Ig antibody applied. This suggests that phospholipase C-mediated signal transduction in human B cells converts the degree of cross-linking of the immunoglobulin receptor quantitatively into intracellular signals.
