Interaction between phosphoinositide turnover system and cyclic AMP pathway for the secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin from QGP-1N cells.

It is found that secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin from QGP-1N cells is regulated through muscarinic receptor-mediated activation of phosphatidylinositide hydrolysis system. In this report, whether the cAMP pathway interacts with the phosphoinositide turnover system for the secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin from QGP-1N cells through muscarinic receptors was studied. Stimulation of QGP-1N cells with carbachol increased intracellular cAMP levels. The carbachol-induced increase in cAMP levels was inhibited by atropine. Calcium ionophore (A23187) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased cAMP synthesis. Dibutyryl cAMP, forskolin and theophylline stimulated secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin. When either dibutyryl cAMP, forskolin or theophylline was added in culture medium with A23187, phorbol ester or carbachol, a synergistic effect was found on pancreastatin and somatostatin secretion. These results suggest that interaction between the phosphoinositide turnover system and the cAMP pathway occurs in QGP-1N cells through muscarinic receptor stimulation for the secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin.

The muscarinic receptor of rat pituitary GH3 cells is coupled with adenylate cyclase inhibition, but not with phosphoinositide turnover.

The effects of muscarinic stimulation on cyclic AMP accumulation and on basal and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-induced phosphoinositide turnover have been studied in rat pituitary GH3 tumour cells. Carbachol produced a dose-dependent atropine-sensitive inhibition of basal cyclic AMP accumulation. It had no effect on basal or TRH-stimulated production of inositol phosphates. The majority of the muscarinic receptors had a low affinity (Ki 0.22 microM) for pirenzepine and can be classified as M2 type, inhibiting adenylate cyclase but having no links with phosphoinositide metabolism.

Further evidence against the coupling of dopamine receptors to phosphoinositide hydrolysis in rat striatum.

The effects of D1 and D2 dopamine receptor agonists on phosphoinositide hydrolysis were studied by measuring the accumulation of radioactive inositol phosphates in slices of rat corpus striatum prelabelled with [3H]inositol. All assays were performed in the presence of lithium. Neither the D1 receptor agonist SKF 38393 nor the D2 receptor agonist quinpirole, alone or in combination, had an effect on basal accumulation of inositol phosphates. The muscarinic receptor agonist carbachol produced a robust increase in the accumulation of inositol monophosphate and a smaller increase in the accumulation of inositol bisphosphate. These effects were not altered by the presence of quinpirole. Additionally, quinpirole also had no effect when assays were conducted in the presence of the muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine, the glutamic acid receptor antagonist kynurenic acid, and the antioxidant glutathione. These results are discussed in relation to recent contradictory reports and lend support to the position that D2 dopamine receptors are not coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis in rat striatum.

Effects of tripeptides derived from milk proteins on polymorphonuclear oxidative and phosphoinositide metabolisms.

The tripeptide GLF (glycyl-leucyl-phenylalanine) was isolated from human milk proteins. This peptide increased phagocytosis by human and murine macrophages and protected mice against Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. Specific binding sites on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) have been demonstrated recently. The aim of the present research was to study the action of this peptide on rat and human PMN oxidative burst and to investigate the consequences of cell stimulation on polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis. A biphasic stimulating concentration-dependent effect of GLF on PMN chemiluminescence and superoxide anion generation was demonstrated. One of the peaks of the oxidative response occurred around 10(-9) M, which correlates with the Kd of high affinity receptors of GLF. The other maximum, around 10(-4) M, might be due to the hydrophobic nature of the tripeptide. O2- generation mimicked the phorbol myristate acetate response: after a lag period of 2-5 min, O2- release gradually increased for 10-15 min until a plateau was reached. Furthermore, GLF enhanced phosphoinositide breakdown with maximal IP3 production at 10(-7) M. Various analogs of GLF were synthesized in order to define the relative importance of the different amino acids and their position in the tripeptide molecule: glycyl-phenylalanine-leucine was devoid of biological properties but enhanced the activity of GLF on the metabolic burst at high concentrations; peptides leucyl-leucyl-phenylalanine and leucyl-leucyl-tyrosine, which displaced GLF from its specific membrane receptors, exerted stimulating effects on PMN oxidative and phosphoinositide metabolisms. It is quite conceivable that these short peptides, which may be generated in the newborn during digestion and which are able to stimulate phagocytic cells, are implicated in the defense of the neonate immature organism against infection.

Stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by muscarinic receptor activation in the rat olfactory bulb.

The effect of muscarinic receptor activation on phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the rat olfactory bulb was investigated by determining either the inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) mass or the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates ([3H]InsPs). In miniprisms of rat olfactory bulb, carbachol produced an atropine-sensitive increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration. In a membrane preparation, the formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was stimulated by guanosine-5'-(3-O-thio) triphosphate (GTP gamma S), but not by carbachol. However, carbachol potentiated the GTP gamma S stimulation when the two agents were combined. In miniprisms prelabelled with [3H]myo-inositol, carbachol increased the accumulation of [3H]InsPs and this effect was significantly reduced by tissue treatment with either 1 microM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or 1 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Analysis of concentration-response curves indicated that carbachol (EC50 = 96 microM) and oxotremorine-M (EC50 = 8.2 microM) behaved like full agonists, whereas oxotremorine, BM5, arecoline and bethanechol were partial agonists. The carbachol stimulation of [3H]InsPs accumulation was counteracted with high affinity by the M1 antagonist pirenzepine (pA2 = 8.26), and less potently by the M3 antagonist para-fluorohexahydro-sila-difenidol (pA2 = 6.7) and the M2 antagonist AF-DX 116 (pA2 = 6.12). The biochemical and pharmacological properties of the muscarinic stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis were compared with those displayed by the muscarinic stimulation of adenylate cyclase in the rat olfactory bulb.

Stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation and phosphoinositide hydrolysis by M3 muscarinic receptors in the rat peripheral lung.

The effects of oxotremorine-M (oxo-M), a muscarinic agonist, on cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation in slices of the rat peripheral lung were investigated. Oxo-M stimulated cAMP accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 4.2 microM and a maximal effect of 2.4 +/- 0.39-fold over basal. In the presence of forskolin (25 microM), the maximal effect of oxo-M was increased to 14.1 +/- 4.0-fold over basal. Forskolin alone caused a 5.9 +/- 2.2-fold increase in cAMP relative to basal; therefore, the combination of both drugs was more than additive. The effects of oxo-M on cAMP accumulation were unaffected by tetrodotoxin, indicating that the action of oxo-M was not mediated by neuronal release of neurotransmitters. Oxo-M had a small inhibitory effect on cAMP in a homogenate preparation, indicating that the stimulatory response to oxo-M in slices of the lung is not due to direct stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. Characterization of the oxo-M potentiation of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation using different muscarinic antagonists yielded calculated pKB values that agreed with binding affinities for the M3 subtype. Oxo-M elicited phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the lung, and the nature of the antagonism of this response was also consistent with that expected for an M3-mediated response. cAMP accumulation in the presence of oxo-M (100 microM), forskolin (12 microM), or both drugs combined was inhibited by indomethacin (1 microM). These results demonstrate that the M3 receptor stimulates cAMP accumulation and phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the rat peripheral lung, and the mechanism for cAMP stimulation may involve arachidonic acid metabolites.

Chronic lithium treatment prevents atropine-induced supersensitivity of the muscarinic phosphoinositide response in rat hippocampus.

Rats were placed on a lithium diet for 3 weeks or an identical diet without lithium for the same period. During the third week, atropine sulfate (10 mg/kg/day) or saline was infused via subcutaneously implanted osmotic pumps. Twenty-four hours following the removal of the pumps, brain slices and membranes were prepared from the cortex and hippocampus for determination of muscarinic stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover and for receptor-binding studies. Treatment with lithium alone did not significantly affect any of the binding or response parameters measured. Administration of atropine led to (1) an upregulation of muscarinic binding sites in both cortex and hippocampus without significant alteration in the proportion of muscarinic receptor subtypes; and (2) an enhancement of the muscarinic phosphoinositide response in hippocampal slices. However, atropine did not induce supersensitivity of the hippocampal response in rats undergoing lithium administration. These results are consistent with recent suggestions that lithium's efficacy in affective disorders may be related to a dampening of muscarinic supersensitivity.

Multiple actions of fluoride ions upon the phosphoinositide cycle in the rat brain.

The effects of sodium fluoride upon basal and agonist-stimulated inositol phospholipid breakdown have been investigated in rat brain miniprisms. NaF concentration dependently increased basal inositol phospholipid breakdown, with a maximum effect being seen at 20 mM. NaF reduced the inositol phospholipid breakdown responses to stimulation by carbachol, noradrenaline, serotonin and quisqualate, but not to the stimulation produced by raising the assay [K+] from 6 to 18 mM. More detailed study demonstrated NaF to have a 'levelling' effect, reducing all InsP/(Lipid + InsP) values greater than 0.15 (i.e. produced by carbachol at raised [K+], noradrenaline and by 50 mM K+) to about this value. Time-course experiments indicated that NaF treatment reduced the rate of carbachol-stimulated inositol phospholipid breakdown up to this InsP/(Lipid + InsP) level and thereafter blocked further breakdown. Inhibitory effects upon carbachol-stimulated inositol phospholipid breakdown were not seen with forskolin, sodium nitroprusside or 8BrcGMP. Under conditions where there is no de novo synthesis of phosphoinositides from [3H]myo-inositol, NaF reduced the total Lipid + InsP labelling by about 20%. NaF in addition inhibits the activity of Ins(1,4)P2-phosphatase in cerebral cortical homogenates. It is concluded that fluoride ions inhibit agonist-stimulated inositol phospholipid breakdown via actions not only on G-proteins but also on phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C substrate availability.

Inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by the novel neurotoxin beta-N-oxalyl-L-alpha, beta-diaminopropionic acid (L-BOAA).

Inhibition by a recently isolated neurotoxic amino acid, beta-N-oxalyl-L-alpha, beta-diaminopropionic acid, (L-BOAA), of stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis was studied in rat brain cerebral cortical slices. L-BOAA inhibited the norepinephrine-stimulated response but did not affect hydrolysis induced by 55 mM K+, carbachol, or carbachol in the presence of 20 mM K+. The inhibition was concentration-dependent with an IC50 of 300 microM. This inhibition was insensitive to the excitatory amino acid antagonists, gamma-glutamylglycine, glutamic acid diethyl ether, CNQX, AP-4, AP-7, or kynurenate. Thus, we propose that the L-BOAA-mediated inhibition of the norepinephrine-stimulated response was due to an interaction at a novel site, which may also be sensitive to quisqualate (see discussion). The mechanism of the inhibition is still unknown but was not prevented by inhibition of phospholipase A2 or polyamine synthesis and it was not affected by blockade of chloride channels. However, the presence of 20 mM K+ completely blocked the inhibitory effect of L-BOAA on norepinephrine-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis.

Inhibition by taurine of the phosphorylation of specific synaptosomal proteins in the rat cortex: effects of taurine on the stimulation of calcium uptake in mitochondria and inhibition of phosphoinositide turnover.

It has been previously observed that taurine inhibits PKC-activated phosphorylation of specific proteins including a approximately 20k Mr protein in rat cortical synaptosomes. In the present study, the mechanism of the above effects of taurine were investigated. In an intrasynaptosomal cytosol fraction obtained by subcellular fractionation, taurine did not have inhibitory effects on protein phosphorylation. However, taurine did inhibit the phosphorylation of the approximately 20k Mr protein in a reconstituted preparation containing intrasynaptosomal cytosol and mitochondria. Experiments measuring calcium uptake demonstrated that taurine increased the accumulation of 45Ca2+ in the mitochondrial fraction in incubation systems both in the absence and presence of added ATP. In addition, taurine inhibited the accumulation of 32P-labeled phosphatidic acid in synaptosomes indicative of a reduction in the levels of diacylglycerol. These results suggest that taurine may inhibit specific protein phosphorylation both by reducing cytosolic calcium levels and by inhibiting the turnover of phosphoinositides. These effects of taurine on the signal transduction cascade involving PKC and phosphoinositide metabolism indicate a potential biological role for taurine in the nervous system.

Inhibition of excitatory amino acid-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis in rat hippocampus by L-aspartate-beta-hydroxamate.

The effect of a series of glutamate uptake inhibitors was tested on ibotenate-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis. The pharmacological profile of the inhibitory effect of these compounds on the ibotenate response was quite different from that on glutamate uptake. Aspartate-beta-hydroxamate was the most potent compound with the L-isomer (IC50 11 +/- 2 microM) being considerably more potent than the D-isomer (IC50 104 +/- 12 microM). The effect of the L-aspartate-beta-hydroxamate was found to be specific for ibotenate and quisqualate-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis; this compound did not affect hydrolysis stimulated by carbachol, K+ or sodium fluoride. The inhibition of the ibotenate response was found to involve a non-competitive and irreversible mechanism.

Concentrations of carbachol stimulating phosphoinositide hydrolysis cause a sustained decrease in membrane potential and firing rate: role of inositol and inositol polyphosphate second messengers.

We have investigated the relationship between muscarinic agonist-stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis and electrophysiological responses in rat hippocampal slice preparations. In a previous extracellular study, we found that muscarinic agonists at concentrations that stimulate PI hydrolysis result in a biphasic firing response; an initial increase in firing followed by loss of firing at higher concentrations. To test the hypothesis that variability in obtaining consistent loss of firing is related to depletion of intracellular inositol, we investigated the effects of adding exogenous inositol to the buffer. We now report that concentrations of inositol similar to those in cerebral spinal fluid (30-100 microM) augment carbamylcholine (carbachol, CCh) mediated loss of firing and [3H]inositol-1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate ([3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4) formation. Inhibition of firing produced by 30 microM CCh in the presence of inositol was associated with a sustained depolarization of 20-25 mV, an increased slope resistance in the depolarized range (-60 to -40 mV), and a parallel shift in the hyperpolarized (-100 to -70 mV) range of the voltage-current curve and increased frequency of spontaneous IPSPs. Under voltage-clamp, measurements of the M-current (IM) showed sustained inactivation by CCh with reversal after washout of CCh. Manual depolarization of cells by current injection to the same level of depolarization as attained with CCh did not usually lead to the same loss of firing. These findings suggest that IM, and possibly other voltage-independent currents or ion pumps, may cause loss of firing only in part through a depolarization blockade of firing and not through desensitization. Furthermore, CCh treatment without inositol did not depolarize neurons as much as CCh with inositol, and usually did not cause a delayed loss of firing. Brain slice preparations may thus require physiological concentrations of inositol to show consistent or maximum phosphoinositide-mediated electrophysiological responses.

Stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by trans-(+/-)-ACPD is greatly enhanced when astrocytes are cultured in a serum-free defined medium.

Recent studies have demonstrated that astrocytes have much greater abilities to produce and respond to signalling molecules in the CNS than had been previously estimated. We now report a dramatic enhancement in the ability of a glutamate metabotropic receptor agonist, 1-aminocyclopentane-trans-(+/-)-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (trans-(+/-)-ACPD, to stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis in astrocytes cultured in a serum-free defined medium compared with astrocytes cultured in conventional serum-containing medium (43.2 +/- 3.6 vs. 3.2 +/- 0.48-fold of basal, respectively). This enhancement was selective to trans-(+/-)-ACPD as little or no difference in the response to carbachol or norepinephrine was seen between the two culture conditions. These results indicate a great potential for the phosphoinositide pathway in astrocyte glutamatergic signal transduction.

The cholinergic receptor-linked phosphoinositide metabolism in mouse cerebrum and cerebellum in vivo.

The cholinergic receptor-linked poly-phosphoinositide hydrolysis was studied in mouse cerebrum and cerebellum after prelabeling the brain with [3H]inositol. I.p. injection of Li (8 meq/kg) to C57Bl/6J mice for 4 h resulted in 14- and five-fold increases in [3H]inositol-labeled inositol monophosphate (IP1) in cerebrum and cerebellum, respectively. The labeled inositol bisphosphate (IP2) was also increased 83 and 19% in cerebrum and cerebellum, respectively. Prior injection of atropine (100 mg/kg) resulted in inhibition of Li-induced increases in labeled IP1 by 74 and 56% in cerebrum and cerebellum, respectively. Administration of pilocarpine (20 mg/kg) to the Li-treated mice for 30 min resulted in further increases in labeled IP1 and IP2 and a concomitant decrease in labeled inositol in cerebrum but not in cerebellum. Mass measurements of IP1 and IP2 isomers by HPLC revealed that inositol 1-monophosphate (Ins(1)P), inositol 4-monophosphate (Ins(4)P) and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (Ins(1,4)P2) were all increased by pilocarpine administration in the Li-treated mouse cerebrum. The effects of pilocarpine administration in mouse cerebrum (increases in IP1 and IP2) could be completely inhibited by preinjection of atropine. Atropine injection also decreased the levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]. Surprisingly, a decrease in Ins(1,4,5)P3 level was also found in non-Li-treated mice after pilocarpine administration (30 mg/kg, 10-40 min). Except for the increase (20%) in [32P]-labeled PIP in the cerebrum, Li or Li together with pilocarpine administration did not alter the levels of [3H]inositol or [32P]phosphate-labeled phosphoinositides.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Purine- and pyrimidine-stimulated phosphoinositide breakdown and intracellular calcium mobilisation in astrocytes.

Phosphoinositide breakdown in cultured cortical astrocytes was assessed by measuring the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates (IP's) following incubations with various purines and pyrimidines. Dose-response relationships gave the following order of potency: 2-methylthioadenosine triphosphate (2-MeSATP) > uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) > ATP = ADP > inosine 5' triphosphate (ITP). However, 2-MeSATP and UTP were only half as effective as either ATP or ADP in stimulating [3H]IP production. Astrocytes were also challenged with combined additions of maximally effective concentrations of agonists. Responses to ADP plus UTP and 2-MeSATP plus UTP were essentially additive whilst ATP plus UTP evoked a response which was only partially additive. ATP-stimulated [3H]IP accumulation was markedly reduced in the presence of 2-MeSATP suggesting that the latter may be a partial agonist at these receptors. We also examined the ability of ATP and UTP to increase intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in these cells. Greater than 90% of all cells tested responded to ATP with a release from internal Ca2+ stores but less than half of these responded similarly when challenged with UTP. Our results indicate that astrocytes possess both P2Y-purinoceptors and a population of receptors which are also coupled to phosphoinositide metabolism and intracellular Ca2+ mobilisation but recognise ATP and the pyrimidine nucleotide UTP.

Alterations in phosphoinositide signaling and G-protein levels in depressed suicide brain.

The function of the phosphoinositide signal transduction system and the levels of heterotrimeric G-protein alpha-subunits were examined in postmortem prefrontal cortex regions (8/9) and region (10) from suicide victims with major depression and matched control subjects without psychiatric illness. The hydrolysis of [3H]phosphatidylinositol (PI) stimulated by phospholipase C, GTP-gamma-S, NaF, and neurotransmitter receptor agonists was measured in membrane preparations from both groups. Phospholipase C-beta activity was similar in depressed suicide and control subjects in the two regions of prefrontal cortex. In prefrontal cortex (10), but not in (8/9), the GTP-gamma-S concentration-dependent stimulation of [3H]PI hydrolysis was significantly lower (30%) in the depressed suicide group compared to the control group. Receptor-coupled, G-protein-mediated [3H]PI hydrolysis induced with carbachol, histamine, trans-1-aminocyclopentyl-1, 3-dicarboxylic acid (ACPD, a glutamatergic metabotropic receptor agonist), serotonin, or 2-methylthio-adenosine triphosphate (2mATP, a purinergic receptor agonist) in the presence of GTP-gamma-S stimulated equivalent responses in the two groups of subjects in each brain region. In prefrontal cortex (10) there was a 68% increase in the level of the 45 kDa subtype of G alpha s and in prefrontal cortex (8/9) there was a significant decrease (21%) in the level of G alpha i2 in the depressed suicide group compared to the control group. Levels of other heterotrimeric G-protein alpha-subunits (G alpha q/11, G alpha i1, and G alpha o) were not different in depressed suicide and control subjects in either brain region. Moreover, there were no differences in the levels of phospholipase C-beta or protein kinase C-alpha in the two groups of subjects in either brain region examined. These results demonstrate that in the prefrontal cortex of suicide victims with major depression compared to normal control subjects there is a region-specific alteration of G-protein-induced activation of the phosphoinositide signal transduction system and in the levels of G-protein alpha-subunits involved in cyclic AMP synthesis. These findings provide direct evidence in human brain that these two important signal transduction systems are altered in suicide subjects with major depression.

5-HT1A receptor agonists inhibit carbachol-induced stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover in the rat hippocampus.

The selective 5-HT1A agonists, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-dipropylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) and ipsapirone, and the 5-HT1A/5-HT1B agonist, 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine, partially inhibited the carbachol-stimulated [3H]inositol phosphate formation in rat hippocampal slices. The effect of 8-OH-DPAT was antagonized by cyanopindolol. Selective 5-HT1B, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 agonists were inactive. 8-OH-DPAT failed to affect the phosphoinositide turnover stimulated by KCl, quisqualate or noradrenaline in hippocampal slices and by carbachol in striatal or cortical slices. These results suggest that 5-HT1A receptors are negatively coupled to phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase in the hippocampus.

Electroconvulsive shock and reserpine increase alpha 1-adrenoceptor binding sites but not norepinephrine-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis in rat brain.

Repeated treatment of rats with either electroconvulsive shock or reserpine increased the density of alpha 1-adrenoceptor binding sites labeled by [3H]prazosin in rat frontal cerebral cortex. In contrast, norepinephrine-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, which is mediated by alpha 1-adrenoceptors, was not significantly affected by either treatment. These data suggest that electroconvulsive shock and reserpine might increase only or predominantly a subtype of alpha 1-adrenoceptor that is not coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis.
