Endothelin-3 (ET-3) stimulated phosphoinositide metabolism and synthesis of prostaglandins in cultured rat Kupffer cells. ET-3-induced hydrolysis of phosphoinositides was characterized by the production of various inositol phosphates and of glycerophosphoinositol. The mechanism of ET-3-stimulated metabolism of phosphoinositides and synthesis of prostaglandins appeared to be distinct from the effect of platelet-activating factor (PAF) on these processes described previously [Gandhi, Hanahan & Olson (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 18234-18241]. On a molar basis ET-3 was significantly more potent than PAF in stimulating phosphoinositide metabolism, e.g. ET-3-induced hydrolysis of phosphoinositides occurred at 1 pM, whereas PAF was ineffective at concentrations less than 1 nM. Upon challenging Kupffer cells with both ET-3 and PAF, an additive stimulation of phosphoinositide metabolism was observed, suggesting that the actions of these factors may be exerted on separate phosphoinositide pools. Treatment of Kupffer cells with pertussis toxin resulted in an inhibition of ET-3-induced phospholipase C activation; in contrast, cholera toxin treatment caused potentiation of ET-3-stimulated phospholipase C activity. Both toxins, however, inhibited PAF-stimulated phospholipase C activity. The present results suggest that the stimulatory effects of ET-3 and PAF on the phosphodiesteric metabolism of phosphoinositides in Kupffer cells require different guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins. Furthermore, the effects of bacterial toxins on ET-3- and PAF-induced phosphoinositide metabolism were not mediated by cyclic AMP. ET-3-induced metabolism of phosphoinositides was inhibited completely in Kupffer cells pretreated with ET-3, suggesting homologous ligand-induced desensitization of the ET-3 receptors. In contrast, similar experiments using PAF showed only a partial desensitization of subsequent PAF-induced phosphoinositide metabolism. In contrast to the increased production of prostaglandins E2 and D2 observed upon stimulation of Kupffer cells with PAF, ET-3 stimulated the biosynthesis of prostaglandin E2 only. Consistent with their additive effects on phosphoinositide metabolism, PAF and ET-3 exhibited an additive stimulation of the synthesis of prostaglandin E2.

Plasma Membrane Phospholipid

Activation of a variety of cell surface receptors results in a biphasic increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, due to the release, or mobilization, of intracellular Ca2+ stores and to the entry of Ca2+ from the extracellular space. Stimulation of these same receptors also results in the phospholipase-C-catalysed hydrolysis of the minor plasma membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, with the concomitant formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] and diacylglycerol. Analogous to the adenylyl cyclase signalling system, receptor-mediated stimulation of phospholipase C also appears to occur through one or more intermediary guanine nucleotide-dependent regulatory proteins. It is well established that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis is responsible for the changes in Ca2+ homeostasis. There is strong evidence that Ins(1,4,5)P3 stimulates Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. The Ca2+-releasing actions of Ins(1,4,5)P3 are terminated by its metabolism through two distinct pathways. Ins(1,4,5)P3 is dephosphorylated by a 5-phosphatase to Ins(1,4)P2; alternatively, Ins(1,4,5)P3 can also be phosphorylated to Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 by a 3-kinase. Whereas the mechanism of Ca2+ mobilization is understood, the precise mechanisms involved in Ca2+ entry are not known; a recent proposal that Ins(1,4,5)P3 by emptying an intracellular Ca2+ pool, secondarily elicits Ca2+ entry will be considered. This review summarizes our current understanding of the mechanisms by which inositol phosphates regulate cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations.

Hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides by phosphodiesterase has been demonstrated to be involved in the control of cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations. The stimulation of Ca2+ ionophores of the release of inositol phosphates in macrophages, and other cells, together with the Ca2+ requirements for zymosan-induced phospholipase C activation, make unclear the relationship between Ca2+ mobilization and polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis. The results in the present paper strongly suggest that, for zymosan-induced phospholipase C activation, a previous increase in cytosolic Ca2+ is not a required event. These results also show that zymosan-activated release of inositol phosphates may be mediated by a guanine-nucleotide-binding protein.

The phospholipase C-catalysed breakdown of inositol-containing phospholipids is an important source of diacylglycerol in cells stimulated by several agonists. However, recent experimental evidence suggests that major phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine may also be substrates of the phosphodiesteratic hydrolysis activated by hormones, growth factors and oncogene products. We show here that stimulation of muscarinic agonists activates the release of phosphocholine, which, along with diacylglycerol, is a metabolic product of phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine. Fluoroaluminates mimic this muscarinic effect, strongly suggesting that carbachol-activated release of phosphocholine may be mediated by a guanine-nucleotide-binding protein. Evidence for this was obtained from experiments using permeabilized cells in which non-hydrolysable analogues of GTP activated phosphocholine release synergistically with carbachol.

Guanine nucleotides have been shown to stimulate phosphoinositide breakdown in brain membranes, but no potentiation of such an effect by agonist was demonstrated. We have studied the effect of carbachol and histamine on guanosine 5′-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) stimulation of inositol phosphates formation in [3H]inositol-labelled rat brain cortical membranes. In this preparation, GTP[S] enhancement of phosphoinositide hydrolysis required the presence of MgATP and low Ca2+ concentration (100 nM). Carbachol potentiation of the GTP[S] effect was only observed when 1 mM-deoxycholate was also added. Under these conditions, stimulated production of [3H]inositol phosphates was linear for at least 15 min, and [3H]inositol bisphosphate [(3H]IP2) accounted for approx. 80%, whereas the amount of [3H]inositol trisphosphate [(3H]IP3) was very low. Stimulation by GTP[S] was concentration-dependent (half-maximal effect at 0.86 microM), and its maximal effect (815% over basal) was increased by 1 mM-carbachol (1.9-fold) and -histamine (1.7-fold). Both agonists decreased the slope index of the GTP[S] concentration/effect curve to values lower than unity, suggesting the appearance of some heterogeneity in the population of guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) involved. The carbachol and histamine effects were also concentration-dependent, and were inhibited by atropine and mepyramine respectively. Fluoroaluminate stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis to a higher extent than GTP[S] plus carbachol, and these stimulations were not additive, indicating that the same polyphosphoinositide phospholipase C-coupled G-protein mediates both effects.

Cholinergic effects on kidney function have been observed in some mammals but the intrarenal localization and the cellular mechanisms of these effects are poorly defined to date. The aim of this work was to study the effects of carbachol on phosphoinositide metabolism in freshly isolated rat glomeruli labeled with myo-[3H]inositol. Carbachol rapidly and markedly stimulates phosphoinositide metabolism with a 50% effective concentration of 3 microM. The enormous magnitude of the response is enlightened by the use of 10 mM lithium, which provokes in the presence of the agonist a large accumulation of inositol phosphates and a corresponding depletion of cellular free inositol. The response is inhibited by 85% by pirenzepine, is pertussis toxin insensitive, and shows no desensitization at maximum dose of carbachol up to 40 min of stimulation.

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.
