Inositol Phosphate Accumulation

The accumulation of inositol phosphates in WRK 1 cells, stimulated with a range of vasopressin concentrations, was diminished by prior exposure to cholera toxin or forskolin, whilst that observed in the presence of maximal concentrations of the hormone was enhanced in pertussis-toxin-treated cells. In the presence of [32P]NAD+, both cholera toxin and pertussis toxin provoked the labelling of peptides with approximate Mrs of 45,000 and 41,000 respectively in the membranes of WRK 1 cells. Exposure to cholera toxin or forskolin for 15-18 h enhanced cyclic AMP accumulation in these cells. The concentrations of these agents which provoked half-maximal cyclic AMP accumulation were similar to those required to diminish receptor-mediated inositol phosphate accumulation by 50%. In contrast, half-maximal ADP-ribosylation of the 45,000Mr peptide needed 100-fold greater concentrations of the toxin than were effective in provoking half-maximal inhibition of inositol phosphate accumulation. Cholera toxin or forskolin also reduced the maximal specific binding, to intact WRK 1 cells, of both [3H][Arg8]vasopressin and the V1a antagonist [3H][beta-mercapto-beta,beta-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid,O-methyl-Tyr2, Arg8]vasopressin. The kinetics for the loss of this binding capacity following cholera-toxin treatment were very similar to those describing the diminution of vasopressin-stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation in the same cells.

Inositol Phosphate Accumulation

Inositol phosphates (IPs), such as 1,4,5-inositol-trisphosphate (IP3), comprise a ubiquitous intracellular signaling cascade initiated in response to G protein-coupled receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase C. Classical methods for measuring intracellular accumulation of these molecules include time-consuming high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation or large-volume, gravity-fed anion-exchange column chromatography. More recent approaches, such as radio-receptor and AlphaScreen™ assays, offer higher throughput. However, these techniques rely on measurement of IP3 itself, rather than its accumulation with other downstream IPs, and often suffer from poor signal-to-noise ratios due to the transient nature of IP3. The authors have developed a miniaturized, anion-exchange chromatography method for measuring inositol phosphate accumulation in cells that takes advantage of signal amplification achieved through measuring IP3 and downstream IPs. This assay uses centrifugation of 96-well-formatted anion-exchange mini-columns for the isolation of radiolabeled inositol phosphates from cell extracts, followed by low-background dry-scintillation counting. This improved assay method measures receptor-mediated IP accumulation with signal-to-noise and pharmacological values comparable to the classical large-volume, column-based methods. Assay validation data for recombinant muscarinic receptor 1, galanin receptor 2, and rat astrocyte metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 are presented. This miniaturized protocol reduces reagent usage and assay time as compared to large-column methods and is compatible with standard 96-well scintillation counters.

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.

ABSTRACT Binding of [3H]arginine vasopressin (AVP) and [3H]oxytocin to primary monolayer cultures of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was time-dependent, and the binding sites for each peptide were specific and saturable. Studies with the V1 AVP antagonist d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)2-AVP, the V2 agonist 1-deamino-8-d-AVP and the V2 antagonist d(CH2)5d-Leu2,Val4-AVP indicated that the AVP receptor was V1 in specificity. Scatchard plots showed that each ligand interacted with a single high-affinity, low-capacity binding site: oxytocin dissociation constant (Kd) 0·29 ± 0·02 nmol/l, maximum binding capacity (Bmax) 7·6 ± 0·2 fmol/106 cells (or 4500 ± 102 sites/cell) (n = 3); AVP Kd 0·09±0·02 nmol/l, Bmax 5·1±0·63 fmol/106 cells (or 3050 ± 318 sites/cell) (n = 3). Although forskolin in concentrations from 1 nmol/l to 1 mmol/l stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) production in isolated chromaffin cells, this did not result in detectable catecholamine release. Neither AVP nor oxytocin in concentrations between 10 pmol/l and 10 μmol/l stimulated cAMP production in these cells. Vasopressin in concentrations as low as 10 pmol/l stimulated a sixfold increase in total inositol phosphates; the dose–response curve was triphasic. Oxytocin had little effect on total inositol phosphate accumulation at low concentrations, but concentrations above micromolar stimulated total inositol phosphate production approximately fourfold. There was no measurable release of catecholamines in response to either peptide. The physiological consequences of these AVP-induced changes in inositol phosphate concentrations remain to be elucidated. Journal of Endocrinology (1989) 121, 133–139

Inositol Phosphate Accumulation

WRK-1 rat mammary tumour cells respond to vasopressin with increased accumulation of inositol phosphates as well as increased precursor incorporation into phosphatidylinositol. The phorbol ester, phorbol 13-myristate 12-acetate (PMA) inhibits by 80% both inositol phosphate accumulation and increased precursor incorporation. This inhibition is much less evident at early times (2 min) than at later times (25 min). The vasopressin-induced rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ is inhibited in a similar manner. Oleoylacetylglycerol is inactive with respect to inhibition of vasopressin-induced increases in incorporation of 32P into phosphoinositides. PMA has no effect on vasopressin binding at saturating concentrations of the hormone and does not affect the binding affinity.

Stimulation Of

The action of carbamoylcholine (Cchol), NaF and other agonists on the generation of inositol phosphates (IPs) was studied in dog thyroid slices prelabelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol. The stimulation by Cchol (0.1 microM-0.1 mM) of IPs accumulation through activation of a muscarinic receptor [Graff, Mockel, Laurent, Erneux & Dumont (1987) FEBS Lett. 210, 204-210] was pertussis- and cholera-toxin insensitive. Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and InsP4 were generated. NaF (5-20 mM) also increased IPs generation (Graff et al., 1987); this effect was potentiated by AlCl3 (10 microM) and unaffected by pertussis toxin. Although phorbol dibutyrate (5 microM) abolished the cholinergic stimulation of IPs generation (Graff et al., 1987), it did not affect the fluoride-induced response. Cchol and NaF did not require extracellular Ca2+ to exert their effect, and neither KCl-induced membrane depolarization nor ionophore A23187 (10 microM) had any influence on basal IPs levels, or on cholinergic stimulation. However, more stringent Ca2+ depletion with EGTA (0.1 or 1 mM) decreased basal IPs levels as well as the amplitude of the stimulation by Cchol without abolishing it. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, forskolin, cholera toxin and prostaglandin E1 had no effect on basal IPs levels and did not decrease the response to Cchol. Iodide (4 or 40 microM) also strongly decreased the cholinergic action on IPs, this inhibition being relieved by methimazole (1 mM). Our data suggest that Cchol activates a phospholipase C hydrolysing PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the dog thyroid cell in a cyclic AMP-independent manner. This activation requires no extracellular Ca2+ and depends on a GTP-binding protein insensitive to both cholera toxin and requires no extracellular Ca2+ and depends on a GTP-binding protein insensitive to both cholera toxin and pertussis toxin. The data are consistent with a rapid metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,3,4)P3 via the Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase pathway, followed by dephosphorylation by a 5-phosphomonoesterase. Indeed, a Ca2+-sensitive InsP3 3-kinase activity was demonstrated in tissue homogenate. Stimulation of protein kinase C and an organified form of iodine inhibit the Cchol-induced IPs generation. The negative feedback of activated protein kinase C could be exerted at the level of the receptor or of the receptor-G-protein interaction.

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.

Inositol Phosphate Accumulation

The role of insulin in modulating phosphoinositide breakdown and accumulation of inositol phosphates was investigated in isolated rat pancreatic islets by using GPAIS (guinea-pig anti-insulin antiserum) that neutralizes effects of insulin in the medium. At either 3.0 mM- or 16.7 mM-glucose or 3.0 mM-glucose plus 10 microM-arecaidine propargyl ester (muscarinic receptor agonist), GPAIS (but not control serum) was able to increase InsP2 and InsP3, but not InsP, in myo-[3H] inositol-prelabelled islets. The effect of GPAIS on 3H incorporation into InsP3 was dose-dependent, with a half-maximal effect at a concentration able to bind 4004 +/- 163 microunits of insulin. A specific mass assay of the biologically relevant isomer Ins (1,4,5)P3 revealed a huge increase (greater than 3-folf). Formation of PtdIns, PtdInsP and PtdInsP2 was not affected by GPAIS. This is indirect evidence for an effect of insulin on inositide metabolism, and therefore endogenously released insulin may have led to an underestimation in earlier studies of effects of insulinotropic substances on inositol phosphate accumulation.

Specific binding of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and VIP-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation were studied in small intestinal epithelial cells (both of crypt and villous levels) 3, 7 and 14 d after a 60% resection of the small intestine. The affinity, but not the binding capacity, of VIP receptors decreased during the adaptive hyperplastic response. Basal cyclic AMP levels were similar in cells of both control and resected rats. Resection induced a decrease of potency, but not of efficiency, of VIP on the stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation.

✓ In order to elucidate some of the signal transduction processes in human meningioma cells, the authors studied the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and bromocriptine on inositol phospholipid hydrolysis, using low-passage human meningioma cells in culture. Epidermal growth factor is a well-studied mitogenic factor for meningioma cells, whereas bromocriptine is known to have an inhibitory effect on meningioma cell proliferation. The addition of EGF to meningioma cells caused stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation in a dose-dependent manner at 60 minutes posttreatment, with the maximum effect (120% to 167% of control) achieved at a concentration of 10 ng/ml. Extraction of separate inositol phosphates revealed that inositol monophosphate (IP1) and inositol bisphosphate (IP2), but not inositol trisphosphate (IP3), accounted for the increase at 60 minutes. Kinetic analysis of EGF-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis showed that a sharp and transient increase in IP3 from 5 to 12 minutes post-EGF and a transient but more gradual increase in IP2 from 2 to 12 minutes post-EGF were followed by a gradual and steady increase in IP1, which was significantly greater than control after 5 minutes. On the other hand, long-term studies showed a down-regulation of inositol phosphate accumulation (a 64% decrease vs. control) after 7 days of treatment with EGF (10 ng/ml). Bromocriptine (5 µM) exhibited no significant effect on inositol phosphate accumulation at 60 minutes in four of five meningiomas studied. However, of two meningiomas studied with bromocriptine in combination with EGF, both showed a significant additive increase in inositol phosphate accumulation compared to those treated with EGF alone. The results suggest a close involvement of inositol phospholipid turnover in human meningioma cells in response to mitogenic stimulation by EGF.
