Phosphatidylinositol 4

Phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes hydrolyze the plasma membrane (PM) lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P2) to generate the second messengers inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) in response to receptor activation in almost all mammalian cells. We previously found that stimulation of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) in cardiac cells leads to the PLC-dependent hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) at the Golgi, a process required for the activation of nuclear protein kinase D (PKD) during cardiac hypertrophy. We hypothesized that GPCR-stimulated PLC activation leading to direct PI4P hydrolysis may be a general mechanism for DAG production. We measured GPCR activation–dependent changes in PM and Golgi PI4P pools in various cells using GFP-based detection of PI4P. Stimulation with various agonists caused a time-dependent reduction in PI4P-associated, but not PI4,5P2-associated, fluorescence at the Golgi and PM. Targeted depletion of PI4,5P2 from the PM before GPCR stimulation had no effect on the depletion of PM or Golgi PI4P, total inositol phosphate (IP) production, or PKD activation. In contrast, acute depletion of PI4P specifically at the PM completely blocked the GPCR-dependent production of IPs and activation of PKD but did not change the abundance of PI4,5P2. Acute depletion of Golgi PI4P had no effect on these processes. These data suggest that most of the PM PI4,5P2 pool is not involved in GPCR-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and that PI4P at the PM is responsible for the bulk of receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and DAG production.

Recent studies suggest that serotonergic receptor activation is coupled to phospholipase C-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, which results in the release of intracellular second messengers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether altered phosphoinositide metabolism is the basis for augmented vascular responsiveness to serotonin in genetic hypertension. Thoracic aortic segments isolated from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and Wistar-Kyoto normotensive rats (WKY) were labeled with myo-[3H]inositol and stimulated with serotonin in the presence of LiCl. Accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates was then quantitated by column chromatography. Basal inositol phosphate accumulation and basal incorporation of myo-[3H]inositol into aortic cell membranes from SHRSP was not significantly different from WKY values. At 2.6 x 10(-7) to 2.6 x 10(-4) M serotonin, phosphoinositide metabolism was significantly augmented in aortae from SHRSP compared with WKY. Depolarization (100 mM KCl) did not increase phosphoinositide hydrolysis above basal levels in SHRSP or WKY. 2-Nitro-4-carboxyphenyl-N,N-diphenyl carbamate (NCDC), an inhibitor of phospholipase C, prevented the serotonin-induced phosphoinositide metabolism. NCDC also partially inhibited phasic contractions (responses in calcium-free solution) to serotonin in aortas from SHRSP and WKY. In conclusion, abnormal phosphoinositide metabolism may be one mechanism responsible for the characteristic increase in vascular reactivity to serotonin in hypertension.

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.

Cell-to-cell diffusion of second messengers across intercellular channels allows tissues to co-ordinate responses to extracellular stimuli. Intercellular diffusion of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, locally produced by focal stimulations, sustains the propagation of intercellular Ca2+ waves, by stimulating the release of intracellular Ca2+ in neighbouring cells. We previously demonstrated that in cultured articular chondrocytes and HIG-82 synovial cells, studied with digitial fluorescence video imaging, mechanical stimulation of a single cell induced intercellular Ca2+ waves dependent on the presence of gap junctions. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+ the propagating distance of the wave decreased significantly in HIG-82 cells, but appeared unaffected in chondrocytes. We now show that both cells types express connexin 43 and a similar functional coupling, thus suggesting that the different Ca2+ sensitivity of intercellular waves is not due to major differences in gap junction constituent proteins. In HIG-82 synoviocytes, but not in chondrocytes, the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis in a concentration-dependent manner, an effect strictly dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+, suggesting the expression, in these cells, of a Ca2+-sensitive phospholipase C activity. Such an activity could be stimulated also by Ca2+ influx induced by P2Y receptor activation and considerably amplifies ATP-induced inositol phosphate (InsP) production. In contrast, Ca2+ influx did not affect considerably the response of chondrocytes to ATP stimulation. In HIG-82 cells, the combined application of ionomycin and ATP maximally stimulated InsP synthesis, suggesting the involvement of two independent mechanisms in inositol phosphate generation. These results suggest that in HIG-82 synovial cells the recruitment of a Ca2+-sensitive phospholipase C activity could amplify the cell response to a focally applied extracellular stimulus, thus providing a positive feedback mechanism for intercellular wave propagation.

Decreases in D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] content and changes in inositol phospholipid contents occurred during the time of atropine-induced relaxation of swine tracheal smooth muscle contracted with 55 microM carbachol. Decrease in Ins(1,4,5)P3 occurred in a pool which makes up 40% of the total content of this inositol phosphate and which has access to Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase and/or 3-kinase. A 50% decrease in this pool occurred at 16 s after addition of atropine and within 6-10 s after inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC). The maximal fall in Ins(1,4,5)P3 occurred at a time when force had only decreased 30% of the maximal response. A phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) pool linked to muscarinic receptor-activation increased 160% after addition of atropine, the maximal response occurring at a time when relaxation was 80% complete. The mechanisms for this increase were the maintained formation of PIP and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) even though PIP2 hydrolysis was inhibited and the apparent chemical equilibrium between PIP and PIP2.

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.

Concentration Curves

The intracellular signals generated by carbachol activation of the muscarinic receptor [release of inositol phosphates as a consequence of phosphoinositide hydrolysis and rise of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i, measured by quin2)] were studied in intact PC12 pheochromocytoma cells that had been differentiated by treatment with nerve growth factor. When measured in parallel samples of the same cell preparation 30 s after receptor activation, the release of inositol trisphosphate and of its possible metabolites, inositol bis- and mono-phosphate, and the [Ca2+]i rise were found to occur with almost superimposable carbachol concentration curves. At the same time carbachol caused a decrease in the radioactivity of preloaded phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, the precursor of inositol trisphosphate. Neither the inositol phosphate nor the [Ca2+]i signal was modified by preincubation of the cells with either purified Bordetella pertussis toxin or forskolin, the direct activator of adenylate cyclase. Both signals were partially inhibited by dibutyryl cyclic AMP, especially when the nucleotide analogue was applied in combination with the phosphodiesterase inhibitors RO 201724 and theophylline. The latter drug alone profoundly inhibited the carbachol-induced [Ca2+]i rise, with only minimal effect on phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Because of the diverging results obtained with forskolin on the one hand, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and phosphodiesterase inhibitors on the other, the effects of the latter drugs are considered to be pharmacological, independent of the intracellular cyclic AMP concentration. Two further drugs tested, mepacrine and MY5445, inhibited phosphoinositide hydrolysis at the same time as the 45Ca2+ influx stimulated by carbachol. Taken together, our results concur with previous evidence obtained with permeabilized cells and cell fractions to indicate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis and [Ca2+]i rise as two successive events in the intracellular transduction cascade initiated by receptor activation. The strict correlation between the carbachol concentration curves for inositol trisphosphate generation and [Ca2+]i rise, and the inhibition by theophylline of the Ca2$ signal without major effects on inositol phosphate generation, satisfy important requirements of the abovementioned interpretation.

Eur J Endocrinol 1995;133:606–12. ISSN 0804–4643 In the present study, we examined the relationship between endothelin receptors and phosphoinositide breakdown in muscle explants of placental stem villi vessels. All peptides examined, i.e. endothelin-1 (ET-1), ET-3, sarafotoxin 6b (S6b) and S6c, were able to induce phosphoinositide hydrolysis in a dosedependent manner; ET-1 was more potent than S6b and ET-3, with corresponding ec50 values of 44 ± 16 pmol/l, 18 ± 13 nmol/l and 33 ± 24 nmol/l, respectively. Sarafotoxin induced only moderate stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation. Both ET-1- and S6b-induced accumulation of inositol phosphate was almost totally (90%) inhibited by 100 μmol/l BQ 123, while the S6c response was not affected by the ETA receptor antagonist. In contrast, the ETB receptor antagonist IRL 1038 inhibited S6c-induced inositol phosphate accumulation by more than 80%, whereas inhibition was only about 30% for ET-1 and S6b stimulations. This indicates that both ETA and ETB receptors were coupled to the phospholipase C transducing system in the muscular layer of placental stem villi vessels, and there is evidence that the phosphoinositide hydrolysis response is obtained predominantly via ETA receptor activation.

Processing Factors

Phosphoinositide signal transduction pathways in nuclei use enzymes that are indistinguishable from their cytosolic analogues. We demonstrate that distinct phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKs), the type I and type II isoforms, are concentrated in nuclei of mammalian cells. The cytosolic and nuclear PIPKs display comparable activities toward the substrates phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed that these kinases were associated with distinct subnuclear domains, identified as “nuclear speckles,” which also contained pre-mRNA processing factors. A pool of nuclear phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2), the product of these kinases, was also detected at these same sites by monoclonal antibody staining. The localization of PIPKs and PIP2 to speckles is dynamic in that both PIPKs and PIP2 reorganize along with other speckle components upon inhibition of mRNA transcription. Because PIPKs have roles in the production of most phosphatidylinositol second messengers, these findings demonstrate that phosphatidylinositol signaling pathways are localized at nuclear speckles. Surprisingly, the PIPKs and PIP2 are not associated with invaginations of the nuclear envelope or any nuclear membrane structure. The putative absence of membranes at these sites suggests novel mechanisms for the generation of phosphoinositides within these structures.

Prothymosin alpha (ProTα) is a highly acidic polypeptide, ubiquitously expressed in almost all mammalian cells and tissues and consisting of 109 amino acids in humans. ProTα is known to act both, intracellularly, as an anti-apoptotic and proliferation mediator, and extracellularly, as a biologic response modifier mediating immune responses similar to molecules termed as “alarmins”. Antibodies and immunochemical techniques for ProTα have played a leading role in the investigation of the biological role of ProTα, several aspects of which still remain unknown and contributed to unraveling the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of the polypeptide. This review deals with the so far reported antibodies along with the related immunodetection methodology for ProTα (immunoassays as well as immunohistochemical, immunocytological, immunoblotting, and immunoprecipitation techniques) and its application to biological samples of interest (tissue extracts and sections, cells, cell lysates and cell culture supernatants, body fluids), in health and disease states. In this context, literature information is critically discussed, and some concluding remarks are presented.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large class of integral membrane proteins involved in regulating virtually every aspect of human physiology. Despite their profound importance in human health and disease, structural information regarding GPCRs has been extremely limited until recently. With the advent of a variety of new biochemical and crystallographic techniques, the structural biology of GPCRs has advanced rapidly, offering key molecular insights into GPCR activation and signal transduction. To date, almost all GPCR structures have been solved using molecular-replacement techniques. Here, the unique aspects of molecular replacement as applied to individual GPCRs and to signaling complexes of these important proteins are discussed.
