We examined the effect of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) on phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D activity in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. 9,11-Epithio-11,12-methanothromboxane A2 (STA2), a stable analogue of TxA2, stimulated the formations of both choline and inositol phosphates in a dose-dependent manner in the range between 10 nM and 10 microM. The formation of choline stimulated by a combination of STA2 and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), a protein kinase C-activating phorbol ester, was not additive. 1-(5-Isoquinolinyl-sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), an inhibitor of protein kinases, suppressed the formation of choline induced by STA2 as well as that by TPA, but 20 microM N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (HA-1004), a control for H-7 as a protein kinase C inhibitor, had little effect. Calphostin C, a potent and specific inhibitor of protein kinase C, also suppressed the formation of choline induced by STA2. The STA2-induced formation of choline was significantly reduced by chelating extracellular Ca2+ with ethylene glycol-bis(beta-amino-ethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. STA2 dose dependently stimulated 45Ca2+ influx from extracellular space. STA2 stimulated DNA synthesis of MC3T3-E1 cells and increased the number of these cells. These results suggest that TxA2 stimulates phospholipase D in osteoblast-like cells, resulting in the direction of their proliferation, and that the activation of protein kinase C is involved in the stimulation of phospholipase D.

Kozawa O, Tokuda H, Suzuki A, Kotoyori J, Ito Y, Oiso Y. Effect of glucocorticoid on prostaglandin F2α-induced prostaglandin E2 synthesis in osteoblast-like cells: inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by phospholipase C as well as phospholipase A2. Eur J Endocrinol 1994;131:510–15. ISSN 0804–4643 It is well known that osteoporosis is a common complication of patients with glucocorticoid excess. We showed previously that prostaglandin (PG) F2α stimulates the synthesis of PGE2, a potent bone resorbing agent, and that the activation of protein kinase C amplifies the PGF2α-induced PGE2 synthesis through the potentiation of phospholipase A2 activity in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we examined the effect of dexamethasone on PGE2 synthesis induced by PGF2α in MC3T3-E1 cells. The pretreatment with dexamethasone significantly inhibited the PGE2 synthesis in a dose-dependent manner in the range between 0.1 and 10 nmol/l in these cells. This effect of dexamethasone was dependent on the time of pretreatment up to 8 h. Dexamethasone also inhibited PGE2 synthesis induced by melittin, known as a phospholipase A2 activator. Furthermore, dexamethasone significantly inhibited the enhancement of PGF2α- or melittin-induced PGE2 synthesis by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, known as a protein kinase C activator. In addition, dexamethasone significantly inhibited PGF2α-induced formation of inositol phosphates in a dose-dependent manner between 0.1 and 10 nmol/l in MC3T3-E1 cells. These results strongly suggest that glucocorticoid inhibits PGF2α-induced PGE2 synthesis through the inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by phospholipase C as well as phospholipase A2 in osteoblast-like cells.

Platelet aggregation and secretion induced by phorbol ester (PMA) or diacylglycerol (DAG) are preceded by an increase in [Ca++] that is detected byaequorin, but not by quin2, fura-2, or indo-1, suggesting that these indicatorsreflect different aspects of Ca++ homeostasis, possibly different functional Ca++ pools. Addition of two conventional agonists in subthreold concentrations synergistically enhances the [Ca++] rise and aggregation.However, if PMA or DAG is the first agonist the subsequent quin2-indicated [Ca++] rise after thrombin is reduced.Whether aequorin-indicated [Ca++] is similarly affected is unknown. We studied gel-filtered platelets loaded with aequorin or a fluorophore and added PMA, DAG, thrombin or ADP, alone or in combination. Either PMA or DAG alone caused a concentration-dependent increase in [Ca++] detectable with aequorin but not with the fluorophores; simultaneous addition of thrombin or ADP with DAG or PMA produced a larger [Ca++] rise than either alone. However, addition of DAG or PMA as a first agonist reduced subsequent aequorin-indicated [Ca++] rises following thrombin or ADP in a concentration and time-dependent manner. Inhibition of ADP or thrombin-induced [Ca++] rise was not always accompanied by inhibition of aggregation or secretion. Combination of subthreshold concentrations of ADP and thrombin produced an enhanced [Ca++] rise and aggregation. However, this synergistic effect was inhibited by preincubation with DAG or PMA. Neither this effect nor DAG-induced [Ca++] rise was inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor H-7. In genera^ preincubation of platelets with an agonist enhances Ca rise and aggregation in response to a second agonist; in contrasl protein kinase C activators, which themselves elevate [Ca++] as shown by aequorin, inhibit aequorin-indicated Ca rises after ADP or thrombin, and limit synergism between these two agonists.

Previous work from this laboratory has identified an endothelin (ET) type A (ETA) receptor on cultured rat renal medullary interstitial cells (RMIC), coupled to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), dihydropyridine-insensitive receptor-operated Ca2+ channels, and phospholipase A2. The current studies explored a role for ET stimulation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PC-PLD) in intracellular signaling of this cell type. ET stimulated PLD activation, as measured by phosphatidic acid (PA) or phosphatidylethanol (PEt) accumulation, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Inhibition of diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase by ethylene glycol dioctanoate or 6-(2)4-[(4-fluorophenyl)-phenylmethylene]-1-piperadinyl]ethy l-7-methyl-5H - thiaxolo-[3,2-alpyrimidin]-5-one (R 59022) failed to blunt PA accumulation, indicating that PLD, and not DAG, was the source of PA. Inhibition of PA phosphohydrolase (PAP) by propranolol increased late accumulation of PA, suggesting that the prevailing metabolic flow was in the direction of PA to DAG. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) augmented ET-evoked PEt accumulation, whereas downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC) obviated agonist-induced PEt production. PMA augmentation of PLD activity proceeded independent of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration. Ca2+ derived from either intracellular or extracellular sources enhanced ET-related PEt accumulation but was without effect in PKC-downregulated cells. Collectively, these observations indicate that ET stimulates PLD production in RMIC. PKC is the major regulator of this process, with Ca2+ playing a secondary, modulatory role. In addition, these data suggest that PC-PLD is coupled to the ETA receptor.

Dopamine (DA) inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase in proximal tubule cells is associated with increased endocytosis of its α and β subunits into early and late endosomes via a clathrin vesicle-dependent pathway. In this report we evaluated intracellular signals that could trigger this mechanism, specifically the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K), the activation of which initiates vesicular trafficking and targeting of proteins to specific cell compartments. DA stimulated PI 3-K activity in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and this effect was markedly blunted by wortmannin and LY 294002. Endocytosis of the Na+,K+-ATPase α subunit in response to DA was also inhibited in dose-dependent manner by wortmannin and LY 294002. Activation of PI 3-K generally occurs by association with tyrosine kinase receptors. However, in this study immunoprecipitation with a phosphotyrosine antibody did not reveal PI 3-K activity. DA-stimulated endocytosis of Na+,K+-ATPase α subunits required protein kinase C, and the ability of DA to stimulate PI 3-K was blocked by specific protein kinase C inhibitors. Activation of PI 3-K is mediated via the D1 receptor subtype and the sequential activation of phospholipase A2, arachidonic acid, and protein kinase C. The results indicate a key role for activation of PI 3-K in the endocytic sequence that leads to internalization of Na+,K+-ATPase α subunits in response to DA, and suggest a mechanism for the participation of protein kinase C in this process.

Resident mouse peritoneal macrophages synthesized and released prostaglandins (PGs) when challenged with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) or 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DiC8). Both stimuli were found to activate Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C (PKC). 1-(5-Isoquinolinesulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (‘H-7’) and D-sphingosine, known to inhibit PKC by different mechanisms, were able to decrease the PKC activity of macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of either PKC inhibitor decreased PG synthesis and also the release of arachidonic acid (AA) from phospholipids induced by TPA or DiC8. Simultaneously TPA or DiC8 also decreased incorporation of free AA into membrane phospholipids of macrophages. AA incorporation could be restored, however, by pretreatment with the PKC inhibitors. Our results demonstrate an involvement of PKC in the regulation of PG synthesis in mouse peritoneal macrophages and provide further evidence that reacylation of released fatty acids may be an important regulatory step.

Background/Aims: Nesfatin-1 (NF-1), an anorexic nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2)-derived hypothalamic peptide, acts as a peripheral cardiac modulator and it can induce negative inotropic effects. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects in cardiomyocytes remain unclear. Methods: Using patch clamp, protein kinase assays, and western blot analysis, we studied the effect of NF-1 on L-type Ca2+ currents (ICa,L) and to explore the regulatory mechanisms of this effect in adult ventricular myocytes. Results: NF-1 reversibly decreased ICa,L in a dose-dependent manner. This effect was mediated by melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4-R) and was associated with a hyperpolarizing shift in the voltage-dependence of inactivation. Dialysis of cells with GDP-β-S or anti-Gβ antibody as well as pertussis toxin pretreatment abolished the inhibitory effects of NF-1 on ICa,L. Protein kinase C (PKC) antagonists abolished NF-1-induced responses, whereas inhibition of PKA activity or intracellular application of the fast Ca2+-chelator BAPTA elicited no such effects. Application of NF-1 increased membrane abundance of PKC theta isoform (PKCθ), and PKCθ inhibition abolished the decrease in ICa,L induced by NF-1. Conclusion: These data suggest that NF-1 suppresses L-type Ca2+ channels via the MC4-R that couples sequentially to the βγ subunits of Gi/o-protein and the novel PKCθ isoform in adult ventricular myocytes.

In JB6 epidermal cells, induction of fos proto-oncogene expression by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate can be inhibited by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor H7 [1-5(isoquinolinesulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine]. The compound causes also a dose-dependent suppression of fos precursor RNA splicing which, however, appears to react somewhat less sensitively to H7 than does PKC activity. This indicates that H7-induced accumulation of fos precursor RNA is not due to inhibition of PKC. Support for this interpretation comes from the finding that other inhibitors of PKC, such as N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide dihydrochloride, sphingosine, staurosporine or N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulphonamide, do not suppress splicing when applied at PKC-inhibiting concentrations.

ABSTRACT The secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is inversely related to the extracellular Ca2+ concentration (Cae2+). To test the hypothesis that a Ca2+ sensor on the surface of parathyroid cells is involved in Ca2+-regulated PTH secretion, limited trypsinization of bovine parathyroid cells was carried out. Treatment with trypsin (1·1–10 mg/ml) inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, PTH secretion stimulated by lowering Cae2+ from 2·0 to 0·5 mmol/l. In control cells, activation of protein kinase C with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) enhanced PTH secretion at 2·0 mmol Cae2+/1 but not at 0·5 mmol Cae2+/1. In trypsinized cells, however, TPA enhanced PTH secretion at both 0·5 and 2·0 mmol Cae2+/1. Isoproterenol-stimulated PTH secretion was maintained in trypsinized cells, but reduced cyclic AMP production revealed that some β-adrenergic receptors were destroyed. The cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration (Cai2+), as measured with fura-2, was raised within seconds in response to increasing Cae2+ from 0·5 to 2·0 mmol/l and was then lowered within 1 min to a sustained plateau; the changes were the same in trypsinized and control cells. In conclusion, trypsinization of parathyroid cells abolished Ca2+-regulated PTH secretion without affecting Cai2+. Journal of Endocrinology (1989) 122, 213–218
