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.

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.

To clarify the possible role of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) in the signal transducing system activated by cholecystokinin (CCK), actions of CCK on rat pancreatic acini were compared with those of fluoride, a well-known activator of stimulatory (Gs) or inhibitory (Gi) G protein. When acini were incubated with increasing concentrations of either CCK-octapeptide (CCK8) or NaF, a maximal stimulation of amylase release from acini occurred at 100 pM CCK8 or 10 mM NaF, respectively; this secretory rate decreased as CCK8 or NaF concentration was increased. NaF caused an increased in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration from the internal Ca2+ store and stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in acini, as observed with CCK. However, NaF-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization had a lag period before detectable stimulation and was potentiated by AlCl3. These stimulatory effects of NaF appeared to be independent of cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). Pretreatment with cholera toxin or pertussis toxin did not affect CCK8- or NaF-induced inositol phosphate accumulation or Ca2+ mobilization. 5'-Guanylimidodiphosphate activated the generation of inositol phosphates in the [3H]inositol-labeled pancreatic acinar cell membrane preparation, with half-maximal and maximal stimulation at 1 and 10 microM, respectively. Furthermore, the effects of submaximal CCK concentrations on inositol phosphate accumulation in membranes were markedly potentiated in the presence of 100 microM GTP, which alone was ineffective. Combined findings of the present study strongly suggest that pancreatic CCK receptors are probably coupled to the activation of polyphosphoinositide (PI) breakdown by a G protein, which appears to be fluoride sensitive but is other than Gs- or Gi-like protein.

Isolated rat islets were incubated with myo-[2-3H]inositol for 2 h to label their phosphoinositide (PI) pools. Labelling was carried out under three separate conditions: in media containing low (2.75 mM) glucose, high (13.75 mM) glucose, or low (2.75 mM) glucose plus sulphated cholecystokinin (CCK-8S; 200 nM). After labelling, the islets were perifused and the insulin-secretory response to 20 mM-glucose was measured. PI hydrolysis in these same islets was assessed by measurements of both [3H]inositol efflux and the accumulation of labelled inositol phosphates. The following major observations were made. After prelabelling for 2 h in low glucose, perifusion with 20 mM-glucose resulted in a biphasic insulin-secretory response, an increase in [3H]inositol efflux and a parallel increase in the accumulation of labelled inositol phosphates. After prelabelling in high (13.75 mM) glucose, peak first-phase insulin secretion induced by 20 mM-glucose increased 2-2.5-fold, whereas the second phase of insulin release, as well as [3H]inositol efflux and inositol phosphate accumulation, were significantly decreased. The simultaneous infusion of the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor 1-mono-oleoylglycerol (50 microM), along with 20 mM-glucose, restored the second-phase insulin-secretory response from these islets. After labelling in low (2.75 mM) glucose plus CCK-8S, the initial phases of the insulin-secretory and [3H]inositol-efflux responses to 20 mM-glucose were blunted and the sustained phases of both responses were markedly decreased. Inositol phosphate accumulation was also impaired. Labelling islets in high (13.75 mM) glucose or low (2.75 mM) glucose plus CCK-8S suppresses, in a parallel fashion, glucose-induced increases in PI hydrolysis and in second-phase insulin release. These findings suggest that desensitization of the insulin-secretory response is a consequence of impaired information flow in the inositol lipid cycle.
