The effect of intracellular iontophoretic injection of cyclic AMP on electrical activity of neurons RPa1, RPa3, LPa2, LPa3, and LPl1 in the corresponding ganglia ofHelix pomatia was investigated. Injection of cyclic AMP into neuron LPl1 was found to cause the appearance of rhythmic activity (if the neuron was originally "silent"), an increase in the frequency of spike generation (if the neuron had rhythmic activity), and a decrease in amplitude of waves of membrane potential, in the duration of the interval between bursts, and in the number of action potentials in the burst (if the neuron demonstrated bursting activity). In the remaining "silent" neurons injection of cyclic AMP led to membrane depolarization. Injection of cyclic AMP into neurons whose membrane potential was clamped at the resting potential level evoked the development of an inward transmembrane current (cyclic AMP current), the rate of rise and duration of which increased proportionally to the size and duration of the injection. Theophylline in a concentration of 1 mM led to an increase in the amplitude and duration of the cyclic AMP current by about 50%. It is concluded that a change in the cyclic AMP concentration within the nerve cell may modify the ionic permeability of its membrane and, correspondingly, its electrical activity.A. A.

The ionic mechanisms of hyperpolarization produced by applying oxytocin (OT) were investigated at the membrane of identifiedHelix pomatia neurons. Two types of neuron were known to exist, in one of which hyperpolarization is produced by a reduction in chloride ions at the membrane and a rise in membrane permeability to potassium ions in the other. In the first of these, response to OT had a reversal potential of –40 mV and decreased when furosemide and tolbutamide were added to the external medium. In the second case, the potential of the reversal of the response to OT was –70 mV. Upon doubling of potassium ion concentration in the external solution it was shifted towards depolarization by 15 mV. It is sugested thatHelix pomatia neurons have different types of OT receptors, some of which, when activated, manifest reduced chloride permeability at the membrane (probably through the cell cyclase system) with a rise in potassium permeability at the membrane in others.A.

The effect of theophylline, an inhibitor of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, on electrical activity of bursting neuron RPa1 ofHelix pomatia was investigated. In a concentration of 1 mM theophylline, when added to the external solution, increases the frequency and number of action potentials in the burst and also the duration of the inter-burst interval and the amplitude of membrane potential waves. In concentrations of 2.5 and 5.0 mM theophylline leads to reversible inhibition of bursting activity. During rinsing this activity rises to a higher level and then returns to the original value. The action of theophylline develops and disappears (as a result of rinsing) in the course of 1–5 min, depending on concentration of the inhibitor. It is suggested that electrical activity of the molluscan bursting neuron is controlled through the cyclic nucleotide system.A. A.

We investigated the action of 3-hydroxytyramine (dopamine) on ionic conduction in membranes of identified neurons of the large pond snailLymnaea stagnalis and adenylate cyclase activity in membranes of the nervous tissue of this mollusc. Stimulatory and inhibitory influences of dopamine upon adenylate cyclase activity were detected. Application of the mediator to cells which produce growth hormone caused inward and outward currents modulated by a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. An influence of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation on dopamine-dependent and dopamine-independent activity of adenylate cyclase is demonstrated. It is suggested that phosphorylation in nervous tissues is one possible mechanism regulating the action of dopamine as a result of inhibition of the sensitivity of adenylate cyclase to the action of G-proteins.Bogomolets Institute of Physiology, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev.

Adenosie, AMP, ADP and ATP activated adenylate cyclase in pig skin (epidermis) slices resulting in the accumulation of cyclic AMP. This effect was highly potentiated by the addition of the cyclic AMP-phophodiesterase inhibitor, papaverine. But another inhibitor, theophylline, strongly blocked the activation of adenylate cyclase by adenosine and adenine nucleotides. Theophylline apparently competed with adenosine for the cell suface receptor. Like theophylline, the addition of adenine alone caused no accumulation of cyclic AMP, but it significantly inhibited the stimulatory effect of adenosine. Guanosine, or guanine, cytidine, uridine, or thymidine nucleotides has no effect on the accumulation of cyclic AMP. Among other adenine nucleotides was tested, adenosine 5′-monophosphoramidate, but not adenosine 5′-monosulfate, significantly increased cyclic AMP especially with the addition of papaverine. Neither 2′- nor 3′-adenylic acid were effective. Our data indicate that pig epidermis has four specific and independent adenylate cyclase systems for adenosine (and adenine nucleotides), histamine, epinephrine and prostaglandin E.  相似文献

Human decidua contains an active adenylate cyclase, and a number of studies indicate that adenylate cyclase is functionally linked to increased in vitro prostaglandin synthesis. Increased decidual prostaglandin synthesis is associated with parturition, and therefore activation of adenylate cyclase may be involved in the control of human parturition. In this study, third trimester human decidual cells were preincubated for no more than 24 h prior to stimulation with a number of reagents which increase cellular cyclic AMP levels. Forskolin rapidly increased intracellular and extracellular cyclic AMP levels, but there was no increase in prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis during incubations ranging from 5 min up to 24 h. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP or 8-bromo-cyclic AMP were also without effect on PGE2 production, which suggests that the adenylate cyclase was not linked to the mechanisms regulating prostaglandin production. Cholera toxin increased basal cyclic AMP and PGE2 synthesis, and was without effect on IL-1β-stimulated PGE2 levels. PGE2 synthesis was increased by 24 h culture with IL-1β in all the cell preparations, indicating that the cells were biologically active, and that the lack of effect of changes in cyclic AMP synthesis on PGE2 levels could not be attributed to a defect in the prostaglandin synthetic pathway. Our findings did not agree with earlier work which showed that changes in cyclic AMP were correlated with changes in PGE2 production by human decidual cells. It is clear that in the previous studies the decidual cells were preincubated for 4–7 days prior to stimulation, in contrast with 24 h in our investigation. We suggest that the functional link between cyclic AMP and PGE2 synthesis reported previously may develop during culture, and not be a part of normal decidual cell function, but further studies are needed to test this hypothesis.  相似文献

A vasoactive intestinal peptide-sensitive adenylate cyclase in intestinal epithelial cell membranes was characterized. Stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity was a function of vasoactive intestinal peptide concentration over a range of 1 · 10−10−1 · 10−7 M and was increased six-times by a maximally stimulating concentration of vasoactive intestinal peptide. Half-maximal stimulation was observed with 4.1 ± 0.7 nM vasoactive intestinal peptide. Fluoride ion stimulated adenylate cyclase activity to a higher extent than did vasoactive intestinal peptide. Under standard assay conditions, basal, vasoactive inteetinal peptide- and fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were proportional to time of incubation up to 15 min and to membrane concentration up to 60 μg protein per assay. The vasoactive intestinal peptide-sensitive enzyme required 5–10 mM Mg2+ and was inhibited by 1 · 10−5 M Ca2+. At sufficiently high concentrations, both ATP (3 mM) and Mg2+ (40 mM) inhibited the enzyme.Secretin also stimulated the adenylate cyclase activity from intestinal epithelial cell membranes but its effectiveness was 1/1000 that of vasoactive intestinal peptide. Prostaglandins E1 and E2 at 1 · 10−5 M induced a two-fold increase of cyclic AMP production. Vasoactive intestinal peptide was the most potent stimulator of adenylate cyclase activity, suggesting an important physiological role of this peptide in the cyclic AMP-dependent regulation of the intestinal epithelial cell function.  相似文献

Fluoride and peptide-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was investigated by electron histochemistry on serial sections of the RPAI neuron of the snail Helix pomatia. Fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase was detected in the surface membrane of the RPAI neuron, the postsynaptic membrane of axosomatic contacts, and the surface of glial cells forming a multilayer capsule around the neuron. Peptide-stimulated adenylate cyclase was located in the membrane of glial cells surrounding the neuron, their processes (trophospongia) invaginating deeply in the neuronal soma, and the membrane of somatic protrusions forming the system of lacoons in the region of the axosomatic contact. No peptide-stimulated adenylate cyclase was revealed in the remaining part of the surface of the somatic membrane. The localization of adenylate cyclase activity in the postsynaptic membrane in the region of the axosomatic contact is in accordance with the hypothesis based on electrophysiological experiments that the cyclase system participates in the genesis and regulation of the bursting activity of the RPAI neuron.  相似文献

In an analysis of the postsynaptic mechanism of heterosynaptic facilitation, changes in the amplitude of the excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) and the current evoked by application of acetylcholine (ACh current), acting on the adenylate cyclase system of the LC-1 and RC-1 neurons of the molluskPlanorbis corneus, were compared. Both responses are n-cholinergic and depend on the membrane conductivity for Na+ and K+. Application of serotonin led to a 100–300% increase in the amplitude of the EPSC and (in most cases) the ACh current. However, in 30% of the cases, the increase in the EPSC was accompanied by a decrease in the ACh current. This is probably due to the different contributions of Na+ and K+ to the mechanism of activation of the conductivity of th channel-receptor complex of the nonsynaptic cell membrane. The influence of serotonin on the EPSC and ACh current was simulated by the action of phosphodiesterase blockers and adenylate cyclase activators. Phosphodiesterase activators and protein kinase blockers reversibly inhibited the EPSC and ACh current. Thus, activation of the adenylate cyclase system, mediated by the action of serotonin, promotes the development of a postsynaptic mechanism of formation of heterosynaptic facilitation of the EPSC in the command neurons of the mollusk.A.

Ionic mechanisms of the transmembrane current evoked by injection of cyclic AMP into identified neurons ofHelix pomatia were investigated by the voltage clamp method. Injection of cyclic AMP into neurons RPa3, LPa2, LPa3, and LPl1 was shown to cause the development of a two-component transmembrane (cyclic AMP) current. The current-voltage characteristic curve of the early component is linear in the region from –40 to –90 mV; the reversal potential of the early component, determined by extrapolation, lies between –5 and +20 mV; the current-voltage characteristic curve of the late component also is linear and has a reversal potential between –55 and –60 mV. A decrease in the sodium concentration in the external medium from 100 to 25 mM led to a decrease in amplitude of the cyclic AMP current and to a shift of the reversal potential for the early component by 30–32 mV toward hyperpolarization. It is suggested that the early component of the cyclic AMP current in neurons RPa3, LPa2, LPa3, and LPl1 is associated with an increase in permeability of the neuron membrane chiefly for sodium ions, whereas the late component is correspondingly connected with permeability for potassium ions. Injection of cyclic AMP also caused the appearance of a transmembrane inward current in neuron LPa8, but it was independent of the holding potential and was unaccompanied by any change in membrane permeability. It is suggested that this current may be due to a change in the activity of the electrogenic ion pump.A. A. Bogomolets Institute of Physiology, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev.

Treatment of cultured SV40-transformed normal rat kidney cells with the drug, 2-pyridine carboxylic acid, results in a pronounced potentiation in the ability of isoproterenol, prostaglandin E1, and cholera toxin to elevate cyclic AMP levels. With isoproterenol, the initial rate of cyclic AMP accumulation and the maximum cyclic AMP attainable are increased, and also the time of maximum cyclic AMP is prolonged. GTP-dependent adenylate cyclase activities are potentiated in crude membranes from the treated cells, but no evidence for alterations in cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase or release of cyclic AMP into the medium could be demonstrated. Results show that augmented adenylate cyclase activity alone, without changes in phosphodiesterase, can lead to dramatic alterations in cyclic AMP accumulation in response to cyclase agonists.  相似文献

We have investigated the sequence of events leading from the activation of adenylate cyclase and increases in intracellular cyclic AMP to the modulation of enzyme release and superoxide production in human neutrophils. In the isolated plasma membrane, adenylate cyclase is activated by both prostaglandin E1 and isoproterenol. In the whole cell only a small increase in cyclic AMP is observed, though in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, methylisobutylxanthine a substantial amplification in intracellular cyclic AMP is observed with both isoproterenol and prostaglandin E1. These conditions are relevant to the regulation of cell function, since fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated superoxide production is inhibited by either prostaglandin E1 or isoproterenol in the absence of methylisobutylxanthine, while enzyme release is inhibited only via the prostaglandin E1 receptor and then only in the presence of methylisobutylxanthine. For enzyme release and superoxide production, the order of potency for three prostaglandins tested was prostaglandin E1 greater than prostaglandin D2 much greater than prostaglandin F2 alpha. Our results suggest that (a) superoxide production is more sensitive to regulation by cyclic AMP than enzyme release, (b) the type of receptor occupied as well as the threshold level of cyclic AMP attained are important to the regulation of enzyme release, and (c) although elevation in cyclic AMP is inhibitory to neutrophil function, phosphodiesterase inhibition is required in addition to adenylate cyclase activation to effect maximal inhibition.  相似文献

Activation of human blood platelet adenylate cyclase is initiated through the binding of prostaglandin E1 to the membrane receptors. Incubation of platelet membrane with [3H]prostaglandin E1 at pH 7.5 in the presence of 5 mM MgCl2 showed that the binding of the autacoid was rapid, reversible and highly specific. The binding was linearly proportional to the activation of adenylate cyclase. Although the membrane-bound radioligand could not be removed either by GTP or its stable analogue 5'-guanylylimido diphosphate, 150 nM cyclic AMP displaced about 40% of the bound agonist from the membrane. Scatchard analyses of the binding of the prostanoid to the membrane in the presence or absence of cyclic AMP showed that the nucleotide specifically inhibited the high-affinity binding sites without affecting the low-affinity binding sites. Incubation of the membrane with 150 mM cyclic AMP and varying amounts of prostaglandin E1 (25 nM to 1.0 microM) showed that the percent removal of the membrane-bound autacoid was similar to the percent inhibition of adenylate cyclase at each concentration of the agonist. At a concentration of 25 nM prostaglandin E1, both the binding of the agonist and the activity of adenylate cyclase were maximally inhibited by 40%. With the increase of the agonist concentration in the assay mixture, the inhibitory effects of the nucleotide gradually decreased and at a concentration of 1.0 microM prostaglandin E1 the effect of the nucleotide became negligible. These results show that cyclic AMP inhibits the activation of adenylate cyclase by low concentrations of prostaglandin E1 through the inhibition of the binding of the agonist to high-affinity binding sites.  相似文献

Membrane hyperpolarization induced by short pulses of inward current, by stimulation of the anal nerve, which leads to the appearance of a long IPSP in the neuron, and developing during the appearance of spontaneous IPSPs in the neuron was investigated in neuron RPa1 ofHelix pomatia. Short-term hyperpolarization of the neuron membrane by an inward current (10 msec) led to the development of self-maintained (regenerative) membrane hyperpolarization lasting several seconds. The amplitude and duration of regenerative hyperpolarization increased with an increase in amplitude and duration of the pulse of inward current. The time course of IPSPs arising spontaneously in the neuron and in response to stimulation of the anal nerve was similar to that of regenerative hyperpolarization evoked by a pulse of inward current. It is suggested that regenerative hyperpolarization associated with activation of endogenous mechanisms of regulation of the bursting activity of the neuron may be due not only to short-term membrane hyperpolarization of the test neuron by the electric current, but also to hyperpolarization occurring during IPSP generation.A.

The effect of (–)-isoproterenol on adenylate cyclase activity were studied in rat cerebral cortical membranes prepared and assayed in the presence of calcium ions. In assays carried out in the presence of high Mg2+ concentrations (5–10 mM) and of Ca2+ in the micromolar range, addition of 1–100 M (–)-isoproterenol caused over 50% inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. Since these conditions are optimal for supporting endogenous phosphorylative activity in synaptic membranes, we tested whether the observed effects are mediated by changes in the phosphorylation of specific proteins in these membranes. This was done by preincubation of lysed synaptosomes under phosphorylating conditions in the presence and absence of isoproterenol followed by extensive washes and analysis of cyclic AMP formation in resuspended membranes. Addition of (–)-isoproterenol to the preincubation resulted in a 30% decrease of adenylate cyclase activity in the reincubation. Inclusion of [-32P]ATP in the preincubation and examination of the phosphorylation state of specific proteins in membranes entering the reincubation revealed that (–)-isoproterenol inhibited the phosphorylation of a specific protein band with apparent molecular weight of 47,000 (designated band F). These results support the hypothesis that alterations in membrane protein phosphorylation induced by neurotransmitters play a role in the regulation of adenylate cyclase activity.  相似文献

Steady-state current-voltage characteristics of the membrane and ionic currents arising during changes in membrane potential in bursting neurons ofHelix pomatia were studied by the voltage clamp method. The steady-state current-voltage characteristics of the membrane were shown to have a nonlinear region. Replacement of sodium ions by Tris-HC1 ions in the external solution completely abolishes this nonlinearity. Hyperpolarization of the membrane under voltage clamp conditions leads to the development of an outward current which reaches a maximum and then is inactivated. This current has a reversal potential in the region of the potassium equilibrium potential. Depolarization of the membrane to the threshold value for excitation of uncontrollable regions of the axon hillock causes the appearance of a slow inward current. After reaching a maximum, the inward current falls to zero. A model of generation of waves in a bursting neuron is suggested.A. A.

The effect of adenosine on the mouse thymocyte adenylate cyclase-adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) system was examined. Adenosine, like prostaglandin E1, can cause 5-fold or greater increases in thymocyte cyclic AMP content in the presence but not in the absence of certain cyclic phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Two non-methylxanthine inhibitors potentiated the prostaglandin E1 and adenosine responses, while methylxanthines selectively inhibited the adenosine response. Adenosine increased cyclic AMP content significantly within 1 min and was maximal by 10 to 20 min with approx. 2 and 10 muM adenosine being minimal and half-maximal effective doses, respectively. Combinations of prostaglandin E1, isoproterenol and adenosine were near additive and not synergistic. Of the adenosine analogues tested, only 2-chloro- and 2-fluoroadenosine significantly increased cyclic AMP. Thymocytes prelabeled with [14C]adenine exhibited dramatic increases in cyclic [14C]AMP 10 min after addition of adenosine or prostaglandin E1 which corresponded to simultaneously determined increases in total cyclic AMP. Using [14C]adenosine, the percent of total cyclic AMP increase due to adenosine was only 16%. Adenosine was also shown to elicit a 40% increase in particulate thymocyte adenylate cyclase activity. Therefore, the increased content of cyclic AMP seen in mouse thymocytes after incubation with adenosine was due primarily to stimulation of adenylate cyclase and only partially to conversion of adenosine to cyclic AMP. The increased cellular content of cyclic AMP may be, in part, responsible for various immunosuppressive effects of adenosine.  相似文献

Two different independent processes are operating in cultured thyroid cells to regulate adenylate cyclase/cyclic AMP responsiveness to thyroid stimulators (thyrotropin and prostaglandin E2): firstly, refractoriness or negative regulation [preceding paper], which is specific for each thyroid stimulator, is not mediated by cyclic AMP and is not accompanied by alteration of adenylate cyclase activity; secondly, positive regulation which is characterized by an augmentation of the cyclic AMP response stimulated by thyrotropin and prostaglandin E2. This process is not specific for each thyroid stimulator and is a state of increased susceptibility of cyclic AMP synthesis to stimulation, accompanied by increased activity of the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase. Positive regulation is apparently mediated by increased intracellular cyclic AMP levels. It is a time-dependent and dose-dependent process. Very low concentrations (5-50 micronU/ml) of thyrotropin augmented cyclic AMP synthesis stimulated by thyrotropin and prostaglandin E2 whereas higher concentrations (above 0.1 mU/ml) augmented prostaglandin E2 stimulation but induced refractoriness to thyrotropin. Prostaglandin E2 (0.1 to 10 micronM) augmented thyrotropin stimulation and dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (0.3 to 2 mM) augmented thyrotropin and prostaglandin E2 stimulation. Positive regulation is a slow process which develops within days and increases up to day 5 in culture. Experiments using inhibitors suggested that protein synthesis is required for the full expression of the increase in adenylate cyclase activity induced by the studied thyroid stimulators.  相似文献

The effect of prostaglandins E1 and F1 alpha on peptidoleukotriene biosynthesis/release from rat chopped lung stimulated with platelet activating factor was studied. Prostaglandin E1, known to stimulate adenylate cyclase in airways, inhibited the biosynthesis of leukotrienes C4, D4 and E4 and total peptidoleukotrienes whereas prostaglandin F1 alpha, which has no effect on adenylate cyclase, did not exert any effect on total peptidoleukotriene release, though a small inhibition was found for leukotriene D4. Cyclic AMP itself inhibited peptidoleukotriene release from platelet activating factor-stimulated lung, suggesting that the effect of prostaglandin E1 is mediated by cyclic AMP.  相似文献
