1. Temporal changes in the levels of many inositol phosphates, whose structural characterization is presented in the preceding paper [Wong, Barker, Morris, Craxton, Kirk & Michell (1991) Biochem. J. 286, 459-468], have been monitored in vasopressin-stimulated WRK-1 cells. 2. Upon stimulation, Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulated within 1 s, consistent with its role as a rapidly acting second messenger produced by receptor activation of phosphoinositidase C. Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, both of which are immediate products of Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism, also accumulated quickly. Ins4P, Ins(1,3,4)P3, Ins(3,4)P2, Ins(1,3)P2, Ins1P and Ins3P, which are intermediates in the metabolism of Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 to inositol, accumulated after seconds or within a few minutes, and in a temporal sequence consistent with their known metabolic interrelationships. 3. The stimulated accumulation of Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 was delayed, as expected if it is formed by phosphorylation of Ins(1,3,4)P3. 4. Ins(3,4,5,6)P4 accumulated 2-3-fold in a few minutes, and mainly before Ins(1,3,4,6)P4. 5. Using a [3H]-/[14C]-inositol double-labelling protocol, we obtained evidence that all of the compounds that accumulated upon stimulation, except Ins(3,4,5,6)P4, originated from lipid-derived Ins(1,4,5)P3, but that the newly formed Ins(3,4,5,6)P4 came from a different source. 6. There were no consistent changes in the levels of Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 and InsP6 during stimulation. 7. Alongside the gradual accumulation of Ins(1:2-cyclic,4,5)P3 during stimulation [Wong, Barker, Shears, Kirk & Michell (1988) Biochem. J. 252, 1-5], there was an accumulation of Ins(1:2-cyclic,4)P2 and Ins(1:2-cyclic)P, probably as either minor side products of phosphoinositidase C action or metabolites of Ins(1:2-cyclic,4,5)P3. 8. When Li+ was present during stimulation, it redirected the dephosphorylation pathways downstream of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the manner expected from its inhibition of inositol monophosphatase and Ins(1,4)P2/Ins(1,3,4)P3 1-phosphatase: there were marked increases in the accumulation of Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(1,3,4)P3 and of monophosphates. Moreover, Li+ shifted the Ins1P/Ins3P balance in favour of Ins1P, thus demonstrating redirection of the metabolism of the accumulated Ins(1,3,4)P3 towards Ins(1,3)P2 rather than Ins(3,4)P2.

ABSTRACT Some, though not all, previous studies have suggested that the inositol lipid which is hydrolysed during transmembrane signalling in response to receptor activation might be drawn from a metabolically discrete and relatively small hormone-sensitive lipid pool that turns over more rapidly than the bulk of membrane inositol lipid. In order to seek evidence for the existence of this putative hormone-sensitive lipid pool, we have double-labelled cells by growing them for 3 days in a medium containing [14C]inositol and then supplying them with [3H]inositol for the final 2 h before stimulation. We anticipated that stimulation of these doubly labelled cells might provoke the formation, from the postulated hormone-sensitive pool, of small quantities of relatively 3H-enriched inositol phosphates, and that these could be harvested from cells (provided that the cytosolic inositol monophosphatase and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate/inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate 1-phosphatase activities are first inhibited by Li+). Experiments of this type, using both vasopressin-stimulated WRK1 rat mammary tumour cells and 3T3 mouse fibroblasts stimulated by prostaglandin F2α, have largely failed to demonstrate the formation of relatively 3H-enriched inositol phosphates. There was a tendency for phosphatidyl-inositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to have slightly higher 3H: 14C ratios than phosphatidylinositol, but the 3H: 14C ratios of the inositol phosphates formed in stimulated cells were not substantially greater than the 3H: 14C ratios of the inositol lipids. We therefore conclude, at least for the two cell lines that we studied, that hormone-stimulated inositol lipid hydrolysis can call, either directly or indirectly, upon the majority of the inositol lipid complement of the stimulated cell.

Inositol monophosphatase is a potential drug target for developing lithium-mimetic agents for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Enzyme-based assays have been traditionally used in compound screening to identify inositol monophosphatase inhibitors. A cell-based screening assay in which the compound needs to cross the cell membrane before reaching the target enzyme offers a new approach for discovering novel structure leads of the inositol monophosphatase inhibitor. The authors have recently reported a high-throughput measurement of G-protein-coupled receptor activation by determining inositol phosphates in cell extracts using scintillation proximity assay. This cell-based assay has been modified to allow the determination of inositol monophosphatase activity instead of G-protein-coupled receptors. The enzyme is also assayed in its native form and physiological environment. The authors have applied this cell-based assay to the high-throughput screening of a large compound collection and identified several novel inositol monophosphatase inhibitors.

Muscarinic Cholinergic

The relative capacities of muscarinic cholinergic receptor (MR) and bradykinin (BK)-receptor activation to increase phosphoinositide hydrolysis and to increase cytosolic Ca2+ were compared in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma and 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. In 1321N1 cells, the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbachol and BK each stimulated a concentration-dependent accumulation of inositol phosphates (K0.5 approximately 10 microM and approximately 10 nM respectively) and a rapid increase in cytosolic Ca2+ as determined by quin2 fluorescence. In NG108-15 cells, BK alone stimulated a pertussis-toxin-insensitive accumulation of inositol phosphates (K0.5 approximately 10 nM) under conditions in which pertussis toxin completely inhibited MR-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase. BK also stimulated a rapid increase in cytosolic Ca2+ in NG108-15 cells. In contrast, no MR-mediated increase in phosphoinositide hydrolysis or change in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was observed in NG108-15 cells. These results support the idea that MR selectively interact with either the cyclic AMP or the inositol phosphate second-messenger systems.

Tissue Homogenates

The generation of inositol phosphates upon muscarinic-receptor activation was studied in [3H]inositol-loaded exocrine cells from the nasal salt glands of the duck Anas platyrhynchos, and the metabolism of different inositol phosphates in vitro was studied in tissue homogenates, with particular reference to the possible interaction of changes in intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) with the metabolic processes. In intact cells, there was a rapid (within 15 s) generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, followed by an accumulation of their breakdown products, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and inositol bis- and monophosphates. Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase was demonstrated in tissue homogenates, with the rate of phosphorylation increasing 2-fold at free Ca2+ concentrations greater than 1 microM. However, addition of calmodulin or the presence of the calmodulin inhibitor W-7 (up to 100 microM) had no effect. 3-Kinase activity increased proportionally with the initial Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration up to 1 microM, but a 10-fold higher substrate concentration produced only a doubling in the phosphorylation rate. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was dephosphorylated to Ins(1,3,4)P3, which accumulated in the homogenate assays as well as in intact cells. Depending on its concentration, Ins(1,3,4)P3 was phosphorylated [in part to Ins(1,3,4,6)P4] or dephosphorylated. To investigate the Ca(2+)-sensitivity of the 3-kinase in intact cells, excess quin2 was used to buffer the receptor-mediated transient changes in [Ca2+]i in [3H]inositol-loaded cells. These experiments revealed that increasing [Ca2+]i from less than 100 to approx. 400 nM (i.e. within the physiological range) has no effect on the partitioning of Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism (phosphorylation versus dephosphorylation) and on the accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. This indicates that activation of the 3-kinase by physiologically relevant Ca2+ concentrations may not play a major role in the generation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 signals upon receptor activation in these cells. The latter are mainly achieved by the receptor-mediated increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the cell and its phosphorylation by the 3-kinase in a substrate-concentration-dependent manner.

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.

Hormone Sensitive

Both vasopressin and bradykinin activate the phosphoinositide cycle in WRK-1 rat mammary tumour cells. When the two agonists are added simultaneously, partial additivity is observed with respect to disappearance of prelabelled phosphoinositides and accumulation of inositol phosphates; no additivity is observed with respect to resynthesis of phosphatidylinositol as assessed by monitoring [32P]Pi incorporation. Lack of complete additivity can be explained, at least in part, by heterologous desensitization. In order to determine whether the two agonists were accessing a common or individual hormone-sensitive phosphoinositide pools, cells were incubated with [32P]Pi in the presence of either vasopressin or bradykinin and subsequently restimulated with the alternative agonist. The lipid pool labelled in the presence of either agonist was sensitive to subsequent treatment by the other ligand, suggesting a common phosphoinositide pool. However, when cells were incubated with [32P]Pi in the absence of agonists, the time course of labelling of the hormone-sensitive pool was different for bradykinin and vasopressin, with that for bradykinin becoming labelled within a much shorter time. Thus although there is a significant overlap between the phosphoinositide pools responding to vasopressin and bradykinin, there is a small fraction of the hormone-sensitive lipid which responds only to bradykinin.

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.

Parotid Cells

The intracellular Ca2+ indicator, fura-2, was used to monitor changes in cytosolic [Ca2+] in parotid acinar cells. When parotid cells were incubated in a medium containing low [Ca2+], and [Ca2+] was restored to the physiological range, there was a small increase in cytosolic [Ca2+]. If, however, the cells were first activated by a muscarinic agonist, and receptor activation was terminated before the addition of Ca2+ by the addition of a pharmacological excess of the muscarinic-receptor antagonist atropine, the initial increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] was faster and transiently larger than in the control cells which had not been previously stimulated. This suggested that a stimulation of Ca2+ entry occurred owing to the prior emptying of the agonist-regulated intracellular Ca2+ pool. This extra Ca2+ influx seen in pool-depleted cells persisted even when the interval between the addition of atropine and Ca2+ was increased from 1 to 20 min. Also, when the pool was allowed to refill by adding atropine in the presence of extracellular Ca2+, and Ca2+ was then sequentially removed and restored, the rise in cytosolic [Ca2+] after the addition of extracellular Ca2+ was not rapid, and resembled the increase seen in unstimulated cells. These results indicate that, when the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ pool is emptied by an agonist, Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane is increased. This influx of Ca2+ occurs independently of the concentrations of inositol phosphates and probably of any second messengers linked directly to receptor activation. It appears rather to be a consequence of the empty state of the Ca2+ pool. Further, we suggest that, whenever the agonist-sensitive Ca2+ pool is emptied by agonist activation, the plasma-membrane permeability to Ca2+ will be increased, and this may account, at least in part, for the phenomenon of receptor-activated Ca2+ entry.

Inositol 1,4,5 Trisphosphate

In permeabilized hepatocytes, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 4,5-bisphosphate induced rapid release of Ca2+ from an ATP-dependent, non-mitochondrial vesicular pool, probably endoplasmic reticulum. The order of potency was inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate greater than inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate greater than inositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The Ca2+-releasing action of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is not inhibited by high [Ca2+], nor is it dependent on [ATP] in the range of 50 microM-1.5 mM. These results suggest a role for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate as a second messenger in hormone-induced Ca2+ mobilisation, and that a specific receptor is involved in the Ca2+-release mechanism.
