Cells of the murine mast-cell clone MC9 grown in suspension culture were sensitized with an anti-DNP (dinitrophenol) IgE and subsequently prelabelled by incubating with [32P]Pi. Stimulation of these cells with DNP-BSA (bovine serum albumin) caused marked decreases in [32P]polyphosphoinositides (but not [32P]phosphatidylinositol) with concomitant appearance of [32P]phosphatidic acid. Whereas phosphatidylinositol monophosphate levels returned to baseline values after prolonged stimulation, phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate levels remained depressed. Stimulation of sensitized MC9 cells with DNP-BSA increased rates of incorporation of [32P]Pi into other phospholipids in the order: phosphatidylcholine greater than phosphatidylinositol greater than phosphatidylethanolamine. In sensitized cells prelabelled with [3H]inositol, release of inositol monophosphate, inositol bisphosphate and inositol trisphosphate, was observed after stimulation with DNP-BSA. When Li+ was added to inhibit the phosphatase activity that hydrolysed the phosphomonoester bonds in the sugar phosphates, greater increases were observed in all three inositol phosphates, particularly in inositol trisphosphate. The IgE-stimulated release of inositol trisphosphate was independent of the presence of extracellular Ca2+. In addition, the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 caused neither the decrease in [32P]polyphosphoinositides nor the stimulation of the release of inositol phosphates. These results demonstrate that stimulation of the MC9 cell via its receptor for IgE causes increased phospholipid turnover, with effects on polyphosphoinositides predominating. These data support the hypothesis that hapten cross-bridging of IgE receptors stimulates phospholipase C activity, which may be an early event in stimulus-secretion coupling of mast cells. The results with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 indicate that an increase in intracellular Ca2+ alone is not sufficient for activation of this enzyme.

The guanine nucleotides guanosine 5′[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate (Gpp[NH]p), guanosine 5′-[γ-thio]-triphosphate (GTP gamma S), GMP, GDP and GTP stimulated the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids by a phosphodiesterase in rat cerebral cortical membranes. Addition of 100 microM-Gpp[NH]p to prelabelled membranes caused a rapid accumulation of [3H)inositol phosphates (less than 30 s) for up to 2 min. GTP gamma S and Gpp [NH]p caused a concentration-dependent stimulation of phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase with a maximal stimulation of 2.5-3-fold over control at concentrations of 100 microM. GMP was as effective as the nonhydrolysable analogues, but much less potent (EC50 380 microM). GTP and GDP caused a 50% stimulation of the phospholipase C at 100 microM and at higher concentrations were inhibitory. The adenine nucleotides App[NH]p and ATP also caused small stimulatory effects (64% and 29%). The guanine nucleotide stimulation of inositide hydrolysis in cortical membranes was selective for inositol phospholipids over choline-containing phospholipids. Gpp[NH]p stimulated the production of inositol trisphosphate and inositol bisphosphate as well as inositol monophosphate, indicating that phosphoinositides are substrates for the phosphodiesterase. EGTA (33 microM) did not prevent the guanine nucleotide stimulation of inositide hydrolysis. Calcium addition by itself caused inositide phosphodiesterase activation from 3 to 100 microM which was additive with the Gpp[NH]p stimulation. These data suggest that guanine nucleotides may play a regulatory role in the modulation of the activity of phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase in rat cortical membranes.

Ethanol has an inhibitory effect on some platelet functions, but the mechanisms by which it exerts this effect are not known. Using suspensions of washed platelets, we observed that ethanol (1-9 mg/ml) did not affect the aggregation of rabbit platelets stimulated with ADP (0.5-10 microM). When platelets were prelabelled with 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine, aggregation and secretion of granule contents in response to thrombin (0.01-0.10 unit/ml) were not inhibited by ethanol, but these responses to thrombin at lower concentrations (less than 0.01 unit/ml) were inhibited by ethanol (2-4 mg/ml). Platelets were prelabelled with [3H]inositol so that increases in inositol phosphates upon stimulation could be assessed by measuring the amount of label in these compounds. ADP-induced increases in IP (inositol phosphate) and IP2 (inositol bisphosphate) were not affected by ethanol. IP3 (inositol trisphosphate) was not changed by ADP or ethanol. Although ethanol did not affect the increases in IP, IP2 and IP3 caused by stimulation of platelets with thrombin at concentrations greater than 0.01 unit/ml, ethanol did inhibit the increases observed at 2 and 3 min in these inositol phosphates caused by lower concentrations of thrombin (less than 0.01 unit/ml). Since ADP did not cause formation of IP3 in rabbit platelets, and since no thromboxane B2 was detected in platelets stimulated with the lower concentrations of thrombin, it is unlikely that the inhibitory effect of ethanol in IP3 formation was due to effects on further stimulation of platelets by released ADP or by thromboxane A2. Ethanol may inhibit platelet responses to thrombin by inhibiting the production of the second messenger, IP3.

Stimulated histamine release was depressed at least tenfold in mitotic 2H3 rat basophilic cells when compared with interphase cells even though both contained comparable amounts of histamine. Antigen stimulation of IgE-sensitized interphase cells initiated an influx of Ca2+ that preceded secretion of histamine and a similar Ca2+ influx occurred in stimulated mitotic cells. This strongly suggests that during mitosis there is a dramatic inhibition of one or more of the steps on the pathway leading from elevated intracellular Ca2+ to the fusion of secretory granules with the plasma membrane.

Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in rabbit peritoneal neutrophils was examined by immunoblotting with antibodies specific for phosphotyrosine. Stimulation of the neutrophils with chemotactic factor fMet-Leu-Phe (10 nM) caused rapid increases of tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins with apparent molecular masses of (Group A) 54-58 kDa and 100-125 kDa and (Group B) 36-41 kDa. Stimulation of Group A proteins was observed by fMet-Leu-Phe (10 nM, maximum at 20 s) and A23187 (1 microM, 1 min). Stimulation of Group B proteins was observed by fMet-Leu-Phe (ED50 0.15 nM, 1 min), leukotriene B4 (ED50 0.15 nM, 1 min), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (ED50 25 ng/ml, 10 min) and partially by ionophore A23187 (1 microM, 1 min). Pretreatment of the cell with the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 (25 microM, 5 min) and PMA (0.1 microgram/ml, 3 min) partially inhibited the fMet-Leu-Phe effect. However, pretreatment of the cells with quin 2/AM (20 microM, 10 min) completely inhibited the fMet-Leu-Phe effect. The results indicate that rapid regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation is an early event occurring in stimulated neutrophils. Furthermore the effect of fMet-Leu-Phe on tyrosine phosphorylation may require Ca2+ mobilization and may partially require the activity of H-7-sensitive protein kinases.

Stem cell factor (SCF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3) both act on several target hematopoietic populations, including mast cells. We have isolated a unique murine mast cell line, B6M, that is phenotypically similar to immature mast cells. For B6M cells, IL-3 is a survival factor and alone does not stimulate proliferation. SCF can stimulate proliferation of B6M cells, and together IL-3 and SCF synergize to stimulate optimal proliferation and long-term growth. A sustained induction of c-myc is observed only in the presence of SCF (with or without IL-3). In B6M cells, both IL-3 and SCF stimulate phosphorylation of Shc and activation of the Ras, Raf-1, MAPK pathway. Interestingly, IL-3 plus SCF synergistically activate MAPK. IL-3, but not SCF, leads to activation of Jak 2 and Stat 5 and induces pim-1 expression. From these data, we suggest that the induction of pim-1 and c-myc is independently regulated. Furthermore, IL-3-stimulated activation of the Jak 2/Stat 5 pathway, induction of pim-1, and activation of the Ras/MAPK pathway are insufficient to mediate proliferation of B6M cells. The unusual IL-3 response of B6M cells provides a useful model to dissect signals required for IL-3-stimulated survival and proliferation.

Experiments with washed rabbit platelets demonstrate that stimulation with a low concentration of thrombin (0.1 unit/ml), that causes maximal aggregation and partial release of amine granule contents, also causes increased accumulation of [3H]inositol-labelled inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) in the presence of 20 mM-Li+. This concentration of Li+ was found to inhibit the degradation of inositol phosphates by phosphomonoesterases. This result indicates that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] is degraded early after platelet stimulation with thrombin, although in a previous study we had found no decrease in amount. In the absence of Li+, the labelling of inositol bisphosphate (InsP2) increased more rapidly than that of InsP3, consistent with rapid degradation of InsP3 by phosphomonoesterase. After 30s the increase in InsP2 was augmented by Li+. This increase in InsP2 could have been due to increased degradation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate or inhibition of breakdown of InsP2 to InsP with a lesser inhibition of breakdown of InsP3 to InsP2. The effect on InsP3 and InsP2 of stimulation of the platelets with 1.0 unit of thrombin/ml was comparable with the effect of the lower concentration of thrombin. Inositol phosphate (InsP) labelling did not increase in response to 0.1 unit of thrombin/ml, but increased when the platelets were stimulated with 1.0 unit of thrombin/ml. Whether the increase in InsP was due to increased degradation of phosphatidylinositol or a greater rate of breakdown of InsP2 to InsP than InsP to inositol cannot be determined in these experiments. These results indicate that degradation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 is an early event in platelet activation by thrombin and that formation of inositol phosphates and 1,2-diacylglycerol rather than a decrease in PtdIns(4,5)P2 may be the important change.
