Stimulation Of

Isolated rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture were maintained for 18-24 h in the presence of 10% (v/v) serum and [3H]inositol. Vasopressin (100 nM) stimulated the production of inositol mono-, bis- and tris-phosphates (IP1, IP2, and IP3). Prior exposure of hepatocytes to 8-bromo cyclic AMP (8Br-cAMP; 100 microM), but not 8-bromo cyclic GMP, enhanced the vasopressin-mediated stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation, but had no significant effect on their formation in the absence of vasopressin. The effect of the cyclic AMP analogue was mimicked by glucagon (10 nM), and was seen whether cyclic AMP or glucagon was added 5 min or 12 h before the addition of vasopressin. An 8 h incubation with dexamethasone (100 nM) enhanced the accumulation of IP3, but not that of IP2 or IP1, in the presence of 8Br-cAMP and vasopressin. Cycloheximide or actinomycin D had little effect on the vasopressin stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation, after an 8 h incubation in the presence or absence of 8Br-cAMP.

Stimulation Of

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.

Stimulation Of

The Na+/K+ pump in rat hepatocytes is stimulated in response to Ca2+-mobilizing hormones such as [arginine]vasopressin (AVP), angiotensin II and adrenaline, as well as tumour promoters such as 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA). The ability of these agents to increase cellular contents of diacylglycerol and activate protein kinase C may be necessary to observe this response. In the present work, ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes to help to explain why stimulation of the Na+/K+ pump by Ca2+-mobilizing hormones and tumour promoters is not temporally sustained relative to other hormone responses. A transient stimulation (3-4 min) of the Na+/K+ pump was observed in hepatocytes exposed to high (10 nM), but not low (0.1 nM), concentrations of AVP. Experiments with the Ca2+ chelator EGTA and the Na+ ionophore monensin indicate that the rapid secondary decrease in Na+/K+-pump activity which occurs after AVP stimulation is not due to changes in cytosolic Ca2+ and Na+ concentrations. When added after the stimulation and rapid decrease in Na+/K+-pump activity induced in hepatocytes by a high concentration of AVP, a second challenge with AVP or PMA failed to stimulate the pump. Similarly, previous exposure of hepatocytes to angiotensin, adrenaline or PMA attenuated the subsequent Na+/K+-pump responses to AVP and PMA. In contrast, previous exposure to AVP had no significant effect on subsequent stimulation of the Na+/K+-pump by monensin, glucagon, forskolin or 8-p-chlorophenylthio cyclic AMP. In addition, exposure to monensin had no effect on subsequent responses to AVP and PMA. These data indicate that high concentrations of Ca2+-mobilizing hormones and PMA result in heterologous desensitization of the hepatic Na+/K+ pump to subsequent stimulation by Ca2+-mobilizing hormones and PMA, but not by cyclic-AMP-dependent agonists or monensin.

Stimulation Of

The newly isolated peptide PHI provoked a dose-dependent stimulation of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in isolated rat hepatocytes; at 1 microM-PHI, both processes were increased 1.6-fold as compared with basal values. These PHI-mediated effects were accompanied by the activation of glycogen phosphorylase and the inactivation of pyruvate kinase. PHI (1 microM) also caused a 2-fold increase in hepatocyte cyclic AMP.
