The effect of GTP analogues on catecholamine secretion and [3H]arachidonic acid release from digitonin-permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells was examined. Several GTP analogues stimulated Ca2(+)-independent exocytosis, with the order of efficacy being XTP greater than ITP greater than guanosine 5′-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) greater than guanosine 5′-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]). The stimulatory effect of the GTP analogues appeared to be due to activation of a conventional GTP-binding protein, as it was inhibited by guanosine 5′-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]). In contrast, Ca2(+)-dependent exocytosis was only partially inhibited by high doses of GDP[S]. GTP did not stimulate Ca2(+)-independent exocytosis, but instead was found to inhibit secretion caused by micromolar Ca2+. Arachidonic acid (100 microM) also stimulated Ca2(+)-independent catecholamine secretion. Determination of the effect of GTP analogues on release of free [3H]arachidonic acid into the medium showed that it was stimulated by GTP[S] but inhibited by GTP, p[NH]ppG, ITP and XTP. The inhibition of [3H]arachidonic acid release by XTP was not prevented by GDP[S]. These results demonstrate that activation of a GTP-binding protein by certain GTP analogues can induce Ca2(+)-independent secretion in adrenal chromaffin cells and that the effect of GTP analogues on Ca2(+)-independent secretion can be dissociated from generation of arachidonic acid.

The relationship between Ca2(+)-dependent arachidonic acid release and exocytosis from digitonin-permeabilized bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was investigated. The phospholipase A2 inhibitors mepacrine, nordihydroguaiaretic acid and indomethacin had no effect on either arachidonic acid release or secretion. The phospholipase A2 activator melittin had no effect on secretion. The specific diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor RG80267 had no effect on secretion, but decreased basal arachidonic acid release to such an extent that the level of arachidonic acid in treated cells in response to 10 microM-Ca2+ was equivalent to that of control cells in the absence of Ca2+. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, was found to abolish Ca2(+)-dependent arachidonic acid release completely, but had only a slight inhibitory effect on Ca2(+)-dependent secretion. It is concluded that arachidonic acid is not essential for Ca2(+)-dependent exocytosis in adrenal chromaffin cells.

Platelet activation is accompanied by the active metabolism of membrane phospholipids. Phosphoinositide breakdown by phospholipase C generates second messengers; inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Recently, it is suggested that GTP-binding protein is linked to the activation of phospholipase C as is true for adenylate cyclase. Although it is known that the receptor stimulation by agonists leads to generation of arachidonic acid, its molecular mechanism has not yet been clear. However, several studies in neutrophils and mast cells using pertussis toxin, have shown the possibility that a GTP-binding protein may act as an intermediary unit component between the receptor and phospholipase A2. The present study was therefore designed to examine the effect of GTP and its analogue GTPγS on the arachidonic acid release in saponin-permeabilized human platelets. GTP or GTPγS alone caused a small but significant liberation of arachidonic acid in permeabilized cells but not in intact cells. GTP or GTPγS was found to enhance thrombin-induced [3H]arachidonic acid release in saponi n-permeabi li zed human platelets. The release of arachidonic acid has been ascribed to activity of phospholipase A2 and/or to sequential action of phospholipase C and diacylglycerol lipase. Inhibitors of phospholipase C (neomycin)/ diacylglycerol lipase (RHC 80267) pathway of arachidonate liberation did not reduce the level of the [3H]arachidonic acid release. The loss of [3H]arachidonate radioactivity from phosphatidylcholine was almost complementary to the increment of released [3H]arachidonic acid, suggesting thrombin-induced hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine by phospholipase A2. Although phospholipase A2 usually are described as having a requirement for calcium, the effect of GTPγS was more evident at lower calcium concentrations (buffer>0.1 mM>1.0 mM). These data thus indicate that release of arachidonic acid by phospholipase A2 in saponin-treated platelets is closely linked to GTP-binding protein which may decrease the calcium requirement for phospholipase A2 activation.

In bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulates the formation of inositol phosphates and Ca2+ mobilization through its specific receptor [Yokohama, Tanaka, Ito, Negishi, Hayashi & Hayaishi (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 1119-1122]. Here we show that PGE2-induced phosphoinositide metabolism was blocked by pretreatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Using intact cells, we also examined the inhibitory effect of TPA on the individual steps of the activation process of phosphoinositide metabolism. The inhibition was observed within 1 min and complete by 10 min after addition of 1 microM-TPA, and half-maximal inhibition by TPA occurred at 20 nM. TPA prevented Ca2+ mobilization induced by PGE2, but not by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin. The inactive phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate did not inhibit the formation of inositol phosphates and Ca2+ mobilization by PGE2. TPA treatment affected neither the high-affinity binding of [3H]PGE2 to intact cells and membrane fractions nor the ability of guanosine 5′-[gamma-thio]triphosphate to decrease the binding in membrane fractions. TPA also abolished phosphoinositide metabolism induced by muscarinic-receptor activation. NaF plus AlCl3 and ionomycin caused the accumulation of inositol phosphates, probably by directly activating a GTP-binding protein(s) and phospholipase C respectively; neither accumulation was inhibited by TPA treatment. These results suggest that protein kinase C serves as a feedback regulator for PGE2-induced phosphoinositide metabolism. The site of action of TPA appears to be distal to the coupling of the receptor to GTP-binding protein, but on a component(s) specific to the agonist-induced phosphoinositide metabolism.
