Addition of the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells resulted in a sustained increase in sn-1,2-diradylglycerol (DG) mass and [3H]DG in [3H]palmitate-labelled cells where phosphatidylcholine was the major labelled phospholipid. This occurred in the absence of inositol phosphate accumulation. In [3H]palmitate-labelled cells both bombesin and PMA stimulated the formation of phosphatidylbutanol ([3H]PtdBut) in the presence of 0.3% (v/v) butan-1-ol. The kinetics of [3H]PtdBut formation were consistent with phospholipase D (PLD) activation preceding sustained DG formation. The inclusion of butan-1-ol inhibited 70% of PMA-stimulated DG formation but only 30% of the bombesin response. The ability of bombesin and PMA to stimulate the accumulation of [3H]PtdBut was completely abolished in Swiss 3T3 cells which had been pre-treated with 400 nM-PMA for 48 h to down-regulate protein kinase C activity. PMA-stimulated [3H]PtdBut formation was inhibited by 90% by the protein kinase C inhibitor Ro-31-8220 (10 microM), but bombesin-stimulated PtdBut accumulation was inhibited by at most 50% by the same concentration of inhibitor. Cyclic AMP-elevating agents, i.e. forskolin, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and isobutylmethylxanthine, did not inhibit bombesin stimulation of PLD activity. Bombesin-stimulated PLD activity was inhibited by 50% by buffering of the extracellular Ca2+ concentration to 150 nM, but combination of this treatment with Ro-31-8220 addition was less than additive. Ionophore A23187 alone was able to stimulate PLD activity, but this response was inhibited 50% by Ro-31-8220. Thapsigargin was unable to stimulate PLD activity and had no modulatory effect upon bombesin-stimulated PLD activity at any agonist concentration. The results are discussed in terms of the role of PLD in DG generation and the regulation of PLD activity both by bombesin and by PMA.

Scrape Loading

The effect of scrape-loaded [Val-12]p21ras on agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) turnover in Swiss-3T3 cells was studied. Previously [Morris, Price, Lloyd, Marshall & Hall (1989) Oncogene 4, 27-31] we demonstrated that [Val-12]p21ras activates protein kinase C within 10 min of scrape loading. Here, we show that [Val-12]p21ras inhibits bombesin and platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated PIP2 breakdown 1.5-4 h after scrape loading. This effect persisted for at least 18 h and could be mimicked in control cells by activation of protein kinase C with 12-O-tetradecanoyl 13-acetate (TPA) 15 min prior to ligand stimulation. When protein kinase C was down-regulated by chronic TPA treatment, [Val-12]p21ras was no longer able to inhibit agonist-stimulated inositol phosphate production. These results indicate that changes in inositol phosphate levels caused by ras protein are probably due to activation of protein kinase C and not to an interaction of ras with phospholipase C.

Stimulation Of

Highly purified platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or recombinant PDGF stimulate DNA synthesis in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. The dose-response curves for the natural and recombinant factors were similar, with half-maximal responses at 2-3 ng/ml and maximal responses at approx. 10 ng/ml. Over this dose range, both natural and recombinant PDGF stimulated a pronounced accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates in cells labelled for 72 h with [3H]inositol. In addition, mitogenic concentrations of PDGF stimulated the release of 45Ca2+ from cells prelabelled with the radioisotope. However, in comparison with the response to the peptide mitogens bombesin and vasopressin, a pronounced lag was evident in both the generation of inositol phosphates and the stimulation of 45Ca2+ efflux in response to PDGF. Furthermore, although the bombesin-stimulated efflux of 45Ca2+ was independent of extracellular Ca2+, the PDGF-stimulated efflux was markedly inhibited by chelation of external Ca2+ by using EGTA. Neither the stimulation of formation of inositol phosphates nor the stimulation of 45Ca2+ efflux in response to PDGF were affected by tumour-promoting phorbol esters such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). In contrast, TPA inhibited phosphoinositide hydrolysis and 45Ca2+ efflux stimulated by either bombesin or vasopressin. Furthermore, whereas formation of inositol phosphates in response to both vasopressin and bombesin was increased in cells in which protein kinase C had been down-modulated by prolonged exposure to phorbol esters, the response to PDGF was decreased in these cells. These results suggest that, in Swiss 3T3 cells, PDGF receptors are coupled to phosphoinositidase activation by a mechanism that does not exhibit protein kinase C-mediated negative-feedback control and which appears to be fundamentally different from the coupling mechanism utilized by the receptors for bombesin and vasopressin.

Stimulation Of

Both bombesin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are potent mitogens in Swiss 3T3 cells that nonetheless have dissimilar receptor structures. To explore possible common intracellular events involved in the stimulation of cellular growth by these two peptides, we have evaluated the regulation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. Exposure of Swiss 3T3 cells to bombesin, EGF or the protein kinase C activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) causes the rapid and transient stimulation of the enzyme activity. Pretreatment of cells with the protein kinase inhibitor H-7, or down-regulation of cellular protein kinase C by prolonged exposure to PMA, causes a decrease of over 90% in the activation of MAP kinase by bombesin. In contrast, these treatments have no effect on the stimulation of MAP kinase by EGF. The stimulation of MAP kinase activity by bombesin is dose-dependent, occurring over a narrow concentration range of the peptide. Both EGF and bombesin stimulate the phosphorylation of an immunoprecipitable MAP kinase protein migrating at 42 kDa on SDS/PAGE. Phosphoamino acid analysis of this phosphorylated protein reveals that EGF and bombesin stimulate phosphorylation on tyrosine, threonine and serine residues. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the enzyme, as evaluated by antiphosphotyrosine blotting of the immunoprecipitated protein, reveals that the time course of phosphorylation by both mitogens correlates with stimulation of enzyme activity. These results provide further evidence for the convergence of discrete pathways emanating from tyrosine kinase and G-protein-linked receptors in the regulation of MAP kinase.
