In NG108-15 cells, bradykinin (BK) and thapsigargin (TG) caused transient increases in a cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), after which [Ca2+]i elevated by TG only declined to a higher, sustained level than an unstimulated level. In PC12 cells, carbachol (CCh) evoked a transient increase in [Ca2+]i followed by a sustained rise of [Ca2+]i, whereas [Ca2+]i elevated by TG almost maintained its higher level. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i induced by each drug we used was abolished. In addition, the rise in [Ca2+]i stimulated by TG was less affected after CCh or BK, whereas CCh or BK caused no increase in [Ca2+]i after TG. TG neither increased cellular inositol phosphates nor modified the inositol phosphates format on stimulated by CCh or BK. We conclude that TG may release Ca2+ from both IP3-sensitive and -insensitive intracellular pools and that some kinds of signalling to link the intracellular Ca2+ pools and Ca2+ entry seem to exist in neuronal cells.  相似文献

In cultured human 1321N1 astrocytoma cells, muscarinic receptor stimulation leads to phosphoinositide hydrolysis, formation of inositol phosphates, and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. Treatment of these cells with 1 microM 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA) completely blocks the carbachol-stimulated formation of [3H]inositol mono-, bis-, and trisphosphate ( [3H]InsP, [3H]InsP2, and [3H]InsP3). The concentrations of PMA that give half-maximal and 100% inhibition of carbachol-induced [3H]InsP formation are 3 nM and 0.5 microM, respectively. Inactive phorbol esters (4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate and 4 beta-phorbol), at 1 microM, do not inhibit carbachol-stimulated [3H]InsP formation. The KD of the muscarinic receptor for [3H]N-methyl scopolamine is unchanged by PMA treatment, while the IC50 for carbachol is modestly increased. PMA treatment also abolishes carbachol-induced 45Ca2+ efflux from 1321N1 cells. The concomitant loss of InsP3 formation and Ca2+ mobilization is strong evidence in support of a causal relationship between these two responses. In addition, our finding that PMA blocks hormone-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover suggests that there may be feedback regulation of phosphoinositide metabolism through the Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase.  相似文献

Acute hydrolysis of phosphoinositides has been demonstrated in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) treated with bradykinin (BK) (10(-7)M). The first phosphoinositide to decrease was phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) indicating this to be the initial substrate of phospholipase action. Other lipid changes associated with the stimulation of BAEC were an increase in diacylglycerol (DAG) and arachidonic acid (AA) with a sustained production of phosphatidic acid (PA). The changes in cell phospholipids were accompanied by the release of inositol phosphates. Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) was produced within 10 s of stimulation with BK. There was no evidence for the production of inositol-1,3,4-trisphosphate. The release of ionic calcium (Ca2+) intracellularly was demonstrated. The timecourse of the rise in intracellular Ca2+ was consistent with the timecourse of production of IP3. Intracellular Ca2+ rose from 127 +/- 21 nM to 462 +/- 27 nM. The Ca2+ peak was at 7.0 +/- 0.4 s and took 3 min to reach a steady state which remained above the basal level. When extracellular Ca2+ was depleted in the extracellular medium a spike of intracellular Ca2+ release was measured with an immediate return to basal. Entry of extracellular Ca2+ into the cell after ionophore A23187 treatment does not induce inositol phosphate release, indicating that phosphoinositide hydrolysis is likely to be the cause rather than consequence of the elevation in cytosolic Ca2+. These data indicate action of phospholipase C (PLC) on PIP2 after BK stimulation of BAEC with the subsequent production of InsP3 causing the resulting intracellular Ca2+ release.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The ability of cholinergic agonists to activate phospholipase C in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was examined by assaying the production of inositol phosphates in cells prelabeled with [3H]inositol. We found that both nicotinic and muscarinic agonists increased the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates (mainly inositol monophosphate) and that the effects mediated by the two types of receptors were independent of each other. The production of inositol phosphates by nicotinic stimulation required extracellular Ca2+ and was maximal at 0.2 mM Ca2+. Increasing extracellular Ca2+ from 0.22 to 2.2 mM increased the sensitivity of inositol phosphates formation to stimulation by submaximal concentrations of 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenyl-piperazinium iodide (DMPP) but did not enhance the response to muscarine. Elevated K+ also stimulated Ca2+-dependent [3H]inositol phosphate production, presumably by a non-receptor-mediated mechanism. The Ca2+ channel antagonists D600 and nifedipine inhibited the effects of DMPP and elevated K+ to a greater extent than that of muscarine. Ca2+ (0.3-10 microM) directly stimulated the release of inositol phosphates from digitonin-permeabilized cells that had been prelabeled with [3H]inositol. Thus, cholinergic stimulation of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells results in the activation of phospholipase C by distinct muscarinic and nicotinic mechanisms. Nicotinic receptor stimulation and elevated K+ probably increased the accumulation of inositol phosphates through Ca2+ influx and a rise in cytosolic Ca2+. Because Ba2+ caused catecholamine secretion but did not enhance the formation of inositol phosphates, phospholipase C activation is not required for exocytosis. However, diglyceride and myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate produced during cholinergic stimulation of chromaffin cells may modulate secretion and other cellular processes by activating protein kinase C and/or releasing Ca2+ from intracellular stores.  相似文献

Carbachol and histamine stimulated phosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), as reflected by an accumulation of 3H-inositol phosphates in the presence of 10 mM Li+. Carbachol increased PPI hydrolysis to greater than 600% of basal with an EC50 of 60 microM; stimulation was linear up to 60 min. This activation likely occurred via the M3 muscarinic cholinergic receptor based on the IC50 values for 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (0.47 nM), pirenzepine (280 nM), and 11-[[2-[(diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyl]-acetyl]-5,11- dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one (1.4 microM). Carbachol-mediated PPI hydrolysis was decreased by 80% in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Histamine stimulated PPI turnover in a linear manner by 180% with an EC50 of 20 microM by the H1 histaminergic receptor. Serotonin, glutamate, norepinephrine, and dopamine were inactive. In human RPE, the resting cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, as determined by fura-2 fluorescence, was 138 +/- 24 nM. On the addition of carbachol, there was a 180% increase in peak intracellular Ca2+; addition of histamine increased intracellular Ca2+ by 187%. These results suggest receptor-mediated, inositol lipid hydrolysis is coupled to intracellular Ca2+ flux in human RPE.  相似文献

Exposure of A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells to epidermal growth factor (EGF), bradykinin, and histamine resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent accumulation of the inositol phosphates (InsP) inositol monophosphate, inositol bisphosphate, and inositol trisphosphate (InsP3). Maximal concentrations of EGF (316 ng/ml; approximately 50 nM), bradykinin (1 microM), and histamine (1 mM) resulted in 3-, 6-, and 3-fold increases, respectively, in the amounts of inositol phosphates formed over a 10-min period. The K0.5 values for stimulation were approximately 10 nM, 3 nM, and 10 microM for EGF, bradykinin, and histamine, respectively. EGF and bradykinin stimulated the rapid accumulation of the two isomers of InsP3, Ins(1,3,4)P3, and Ins(1,4,5)P3 as determined by high performance liquid chromatography analysis; maximal accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 occurred within 15 s. EGF and bradykinin also stimulated a rapid (maximal levels attained within 30 s after addition of hormone) and a sustained 4- and 6-fold rise, respectively, in cytosolic free Ca2+ levels as measured by Fura-2 fluorescence. EGF and bradykinin also produced a rapid, although transient, 3- and 5-fold increase, respectively, in cytosolic free Ca2+ after chelation of extracellular Ca2+ with 3 mM EGTA. These data are consistent with the idea that EGF elevates intracellular Ca2+ levels in A431 cells, at least in part, as a result of the rapid formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the consequential release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores.  相似文献

We have investigated the effects of endothelin on phosphoinositide metabolism and Ca2+ mobilization in cultured A10 cells. Endothelin stimulated a significant increase in inositol phosphate formation in a time- and dose-dependent manner. IP3 was significantly elevated by 30 sec and reached a 2.0-fold above control at 1 min. The EC50 for endothelin was 0.5 nM. The initiation of inositol phosphate formation was independent of extracellular Ca2+, and the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, did not stimulate IP3 formation. However, the sustained elevation of inositol phosphates was partially inhibited by incubating cells in buffer lacking Ca2+ or in buffer containing nicardipine. Endothelin mobilized both intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ reaching a peak intracellular concentration of 350 +/- 11 nM by 1 min when cells were bathed with Ca2+-complete buffer. Intracellular Ca2+ remained 2-fold above baseline for at least 15 min. In contrast, when cells were exposed to endothelin in Ca2+-free buffer, the peak value of [Ca2+]i was 195 +/- 20 nM and returned to baseline by 2 min. Nicardipine completely blocked the influx of extracellular Ca2+ but did not interfere with the mobilization of intracellular stores. We conclude that endothelin produces a rapid and sustained elevation in inositol phosphate formation. The rapid production of IP3 is consistent with the time course for mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. Elevated cytosolic Ca2+ levels are maintained by the influx of extracellular Ca2+ through a nicardipine-sensitive Ca2+ channel and are involved in the sustained formation of inositol phosphates. These data provide an explanation for the sustained, nicardipine-inhibitable contraction of coronary artery strips induced by endothelin.  相似文献

The efficacy of muscarinic-receptor agonists for stimulation of inositol phosphate formation and Ca2+ mobilization in intact 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells is correlated with their capacity for formation of a GTP-sensitive high-affinity binding complex in membranes from these cells [Evans, Hepler, Masters, Brown & Harden (1985) Biochem. J. 232, 751-757]. These observations prompted the proposal that a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein serves to couple muscarinic receptors to the phospholipase C involved in phosphoinositide hydrolysis in 1321N1 cells. Inositol phosphate (InsP) formation was measured in a cell-free preparation from 1321N1 cells to provide direct support for this idea. The formation of InsP3, InsP2 and InsP1 was increased in a concentration-dependent manner (K0.5 approximately 5 microM) by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) in washed membranes prepared from myo-[3H]inositol-prelabelled 1321N1 cells. Both GTP[S] and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) stimulated InsP formation by 2-3-fold over control; GTP, GDP and GMP were much less efficacious. Millimolar concentrations of NaF also stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates in membrane preparations from 1321N1 cells. In the presence of 10 microM-GTP[S], the muscarinic cholinergic-receptor agonist carbachol stimulated (K0.5 approximately 10 microM) the formation of InsP above that achieved with GTP[S] alone. The effect of carbachol was completely blocked by atropine. The order of potency of nucleotides for stimulation of InsP formation in the presence of 500 microM-carbachol was GTP[S] greater than p[NH]ppG greater than GTP = GDP. Pertussis toxin, at concentrations that fully ADP-ribosylate and functionally inactivate Gi (the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein), had no effect on InsP formation in the presence of GTP[S] or GTP[S] plus carbachol. These data are consistent with the idea that a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein that is not Gi is involved in receptor-mediated stimulation of InsP formation in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells.  相似文献

1. The second-messengers system of bradykinin (BK) receptors was examined in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells. 2. An application of BK induced an immediate outward (K+) current and acetylcholine (ACh) release, which are generated through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-dependent Ca2+ ions. 3. Application of phorbol dibutyrate (a protein kinase C activator) produced a voltage-dependent inward current and inhibited another K+ (M)-current. 4. A similar current response has been produced by ACh in NG108-15 cells transfected with rodent muscarinic ACh receptor I and III subtype genes. 5. These results suggest a dual and time-dependent role for these two intracellular messengers in the control of neuronal signalling by BK and ACh.  相似文献

The mechanism underlying the bradykinin (BK)-induced increase of acetylcholine (ACh) release was studied in neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells and their synapses formed onto mouse muscle cells. External application of BK or iontophoretic injection of extrinsic inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) into the cytoplasm of NG108-15 cells produced membrane hyperpolarization in the hybrid cells and an increase in the frequency of miniature end-plate potentials (MEPPs) in paired myotubes. Ba2+ blocked the hyperpolarization in response to BK, but facilitation of MEPPs was still observed. InsP3-dependent facilitation of MEPPs was also observed in cells where the InsP3 injections produced no detectable hyperpolarization or even depolarization. Real-time quantitative monitoring of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) with fura-2 in single NG108-15 cells showed that BK application or InsP3 injection induced an elevation of [Ca2+]i which coincided in time with membrane hyperpolarization recorded from the same cell. The [Ca2+]i rise produced by InsP3 injection started from the single site of injection and that produced by BK began from a deep compartment of the cytoplasm of the NG108-15 cells. The BK- and InsP3-evoked facilitation of MEPPs and the [Ca2+]i rise were relatively independent of extracellular Ca2+. These findings suggest that the BK-induced ACh release results not from membrane potential changes but from a transient InsP3-dependent elevation of [Ca2+]i.  相似文献

In mouse neuroblastoma x Chinese hamster brain clonal cell line NCB-20, bradykinin (BK) receptor stimulation causes phosphoinositide hydrolysis and release of inositol phosphates. Maximum stimulation (4-fold) of [2-3H]inositol trisphosphate (IP3) release in the absence of Li+ from NCB-20's prelabelled for 20-24 hours with [2-3H]myo-inositol (15 microCi/confluent 60mm dish) occurred after 5-10 seconds of bradykinin exposure, with an EC50 of approximately 100nM. Inositol bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol monophosphate (IP1) also showed increases (2.9-fold and 1.5 fold, respectively), with peaks at 15-20 seconds and 50 seconds, respectively. Under these same conditions, D-Ala2-D-Leu5 enkephalin (DADLE) (10 microM), an opiate agonist with 2nM affinity, gave no stimulation of IP3 release. Furthermore, it did not block BK-initiated release, both when applied simultaneously with BK and when cells were preincubated with DADLE for 100 minutes to lower cyclic AMP levels. These results show that pain-inducing BK has a major acute stimulatory effect on receptor-phospholipase C-coupled IP3 release, the opioid peptide DADLE has no such effect and, DADLE does not block the IP3 release induced by BK.  相似文献

The cyclic GMP (cGMP) content was rapidly (greater than 30 s) increased by serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] (EC50 = 10 microM), and the increase lasted for greater than 10 min in NG108-15 cells. The 5-HT-induced elevation of cGMP level (EC50 = 10 microM) at 20 s ("fast" elevation) was inhibited by ICS 205-930 or MDL 72,222 and by Ca2+ deficiency in the reaction medium but not by organic Ca2+ antagonists. The 5-HT effect at 10 min ("slow" elevation) was not inhibited by several antagonists for 5-HT receptors of the 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2, and 3 subtypes and was independent from external Ca2+ concentration. The fast and slow effects of 5-HT were similar to the effects of bradykinin and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), respectively, in aspects of both Ca2+ dependency and time course of the effects. Bradykinin transiently stimulated formation of inositol phosphates as well as accumulation of cGMP, a finding suggesting that intracellular Ca2+ is involved in bradykinin-induced cGMP accumulation as shown in the fast response to 5-HT. ANP, an activator of membrane-associated guanylate cyclase (mGC), slowly (approximately 60 s) increased the cGMP content (EC50 = 10 nM), a result lasting for greater than 10 min, and the effects were independent from external Ca2+, as shown in the slow response to 5-HT. 5-HT and ANP did not induce formation of inositol phosphates.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Modulation of Neuronal Signal Transduction Systems by Extracellular ATP   总被引:4,自引:4,他引:4  
The secretion of ATP by stimulated nerves is well documented. Following repetitive stimulation, extracellular ATP at the synapse can accumulate to levels estimated to be well over 100 microM. The present study examined the effects of extracellular ATP in the concentration range of 0.1-1.0 mM on second-messenger-generating systems in cultured neural cells of the clones NG108-15 and N1E-115. Cells in a medium mimicking the physiological extracellular environment were used to measure 45Ca2+ uptake, changes in free intracellular Ca2+ levels by the probes aequorin and Quin-2, de novo generation of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP from intracellular GTP and ATP pools prelabeled with [3H]guanosine and [3H]adenine, respectively, and phosphoinositide metabolism in cells preloaded with [3H]inositol and assayed in the presence of LiCl. Extracellular ATP induced a concentration-dependent increase of 45Ca2+ uptake by intact cells, which was additive with the uptake induced by K+ depolarization. The increased uptake involved elevation of intracellular free Ca2+ ions, evidenced by measuring aequorin and Quin-2 signals. At the same concentration range (0.1-1.0 mM), extracellular ATP induced an increase in [3H]cyclic GMP formation, and a decrease in prostaglandin E1-stimulated [3H]cyclic AMP generation. In addition, extracellular ATP (1 mM) caused a large (15-fold) increase in [3H]inositol phosphates accumulation, and this effect was blocked by including La3+ ions in the assay medium. In parallel experiments, we found in NG108-15 cells surface protein phosphorylation activity that had an apparent Km for extracellular ATP at the same concentration required to produce half-maximal effects on Ca2+ uptake.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Inhibitory coupling of receptors to adenylate cyclase previously has been shown to be relatively sensitive to inactivation by alkylation with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Modification of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni, has been proposed to be responsible for this effect. The effects of NEM on GTP-sensitive binding of carbachol to muscarinic cholinergic receptors has been compared in a cell line (1321N1 human astrocytoma cells) in which these receptors stimulate phosphoinositide breakdown and in a cell line (NG108-15 neuroblastoma X glioma cells) in which activation of these receptors results in inhibition of adenylate cyclase. Pretreatment of membrane preparations from 1321N1 cells with NEM resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in the extent of pertussis toxin-catalysed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of a 41 000 Da protein previously proposed to be the alpha subunit of Ni. Under conditions where 32P-labelling of Ni in 1321N1 membranes was reduced by NEM by 90%, no effect was observed on the extent of guanine nucleotide-sensitive high-affinity binding of carbachol to muscarinic cholinergic receptors. In contrast, treatment of NG108-15 membranes with NEM under the same conditions resulted in complete loss of high-affinity guanine nucleotide sensitive binding of carbachol. These results illustrate another difference between the muscarinic receptor population of these two cell lines, and support the previous proposal that muscarinic receptors of 1321N1 cells couple to a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein that is not Ni.  相似文献

Pertussis toxin was used to examine the role of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni, in muscarinic-receptor-mediated stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover and calcium mobilization. In cultured chick heart cells, pertussis-toxin treatment inhibited muscarinic-receptor-mediated attenuation of isoprenaline-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. This finding is consistent with the proposal that pertussis toxin blocks the capacity of Ni to couple muscarinic receptors to adenylate cyclase. In contrast, treatment of chick heart cells or 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells with pertussis toxin did not block muscarinic-receptor-mediated stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis, as measured by [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation in the presence of Li+. Pertussis-toxin treatment also had little effect on basal and muscarinic-receptor-stimulated phosphatidylinositol synthesis, as measured by the incorporation of [3H]inositol into phosphatidylinositol. Activation of muscarinic receptors also enhances the rate of unidirectional 45Ca2+ efflux in 1321N1 cells; this response, like phosphoinositide hydrolysis, was not prevented by pertussis-toxin treatment. Our data suggest that muscarinic receptors are not coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis or calcium mobilization through Ni.  相似文献

Although activation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors on 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells results in a linear accumulation of inositol phosphates for up to 60 min in the presence of LiCl [Masters, Quinn & Brown (1985) Mol. Pharmacol. 27, 325-332], activation of H1-histamine receptors resulted in an increase in total inositol phosphate formation that was maintained for less than 5 min. The effects of stimulation of these two receptors on accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4)P3] and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4] were also examined. Incubation of 1321N1 cells with carbachol resulted in a rapid accumulation of all three inositol phosphates, reaching a maximum within 30 s; this elevated value was maintained for up to 60 min. The rate of disappearance of Ins(1,3,4)P3 from carbachol-treated cells after the addition of atropine paralleled or exceeded the rate of disappearance of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Although the initial rates of accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ins(1,3,4)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 in the presence of histamine were similar to that observed with carbachol, the amounts of these inositol phosphates had returned to control values within 5 min after the addition of histamine. The results indicate that, although the acute effects of muscarinic receptor and H1-histamine receptor stimulation on phosphoinositide hydrolysis are very similar, the histamine receptor is desensitized rapidly, whereas the muscarinic receptor is not. This effect on histamine-receptor function is apparently homologous, since preincubation of 1321N1 cells with histamine did not decrease the subsequent response to carbachol.  相似文献

The net content of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] was measured in bradykinin (BK)-stimulated NIH3T3 fibroblasts and neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cells (NG108-15). BK-mediated production of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was not affected by replacing the medium with Ca2+-free medium, but addition of EGTA (1mM) to Ca2+-free medium markedly prevented production of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Although pertussis toxin (PT) treatment caused ADP-ribosylation in both NIH3T3 cells and NG108-15 cells, the BK-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation was considerably reduced in the former cells but not in the latter cells, suggesting that PT-sensitive and PT-insensitive GTP-binding proteins are involved in phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activation in fibroblasts and neuroblastoma cells, respectively. In NG108-15 cells down-regulated in protein kinase C (PKC) by long-term exposure to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), BK-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation was significantly enhanced compared to control cells.  相似文献

Chromaffin cells of bovine adrenal medulla release catecholamines in response to activation of nicotinic ACh receptors which open voltage-sensitive calcium channels. Catecholamine secretion by exocytosis requires an increase in cytosolic free calcium. The cells also possess muscarinic ACh receptors but muscarinic agents do not provoke catecholamine release. Quin-2 studies show that they do not increase cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, but unlike the nicotinic agents, they cause phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Muscarinic stimulation leads to rapid loss of labelled phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. At the same time there is release of inositol trisphosphate, inositol bisphosphate and inositol phosphate. In a number of other cells inositol trisphosphate may act as a second messenger releasing Ca2+ from storage sites in the endoplasmic reticulum but this is not its function in bovine chromaffin cells.  相似文献

In PC12 cells, cultured in the presence of nerve growth factor to increase their complement of muscarinic receptors, treatment with carbachol induces muscarinic receptor-dependent rises in free cytosolic Ca2+ as well as hydrolysis of membrane phosphoinositides. Experiments were carried out to clarify the relationship between these two receptor-triggered events. In particular, since inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (the hydrophilic metabolite produced by the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate) is believed to mediate intracellularly the release of Ca2+ from nonmitochondrial store(s), it was important to establish whether it can be generated at resting cytoplasmic concentration of Ca2+ (approximately 0.1 microM). Cells incubated in Ca2+-free medium were depleted of their cytoplasmic Ca2+ stores by pretreatment with ionomycin. When these cells were then treated with carbachol, their cytosolic concentration of Ca2+ remained at the resting level, whereas inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate generation was still markedly stimulated. Our results demonstrate that an increase in the concentration of cytosolic Ca2+ is not a necessary intermediate between receptor activation and phosphoinositide hydrolysis, and therefore support the second-messenger role of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate.  相似文献

Signal transduction by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and carbamylcholine (CCH) in some cells is mediated by inositol lipid hydrolysis forming the second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (I-1,4,5-P3) and 1,2-diacylglycerol, and causing elevation of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i). In mouse thyrotropic tumor (TtT) cells, maximally effective doses of TRH caused biphasic stimulation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion, whereas CCH stimulated monophasic sustained TSH secretion without a burst phase. TRH, at maximally effective doses, stimulated a rapid marked increase in I-1,4,5-P3 which was associated with a rapid elevation of [Ca2+]i to approximately 1000 nM, whereas maximally effective doses of CCH caused little increase in I-1,4,5-P3 and no burst elevation of [Ca2+]i. Both TRH and CCH caused sustained modest (to 210-280 nM) elevations of [Ca2+]i which were inhibited by voltage-sensitive channel-blocking agents and stimulated sustained hydrolysis of inositol lipids. CCH-like responses were observed when TtT cells were stimulated by low doses of TRH. In TtT cells prepared from five tumors, the ratio of the number of TRH receptors to muscarinic receptors ranged from 10 to 40:1. Lastly, CCH-like responses were observed with maximally effective doses of TRH when the TRH receptor number was down-regulated to a level similar to that of muscarinic receptors. These data suggest that the kinetic pattern of stimulated TSH secretion caused by secretagogues that use the inositol lipid signal transduction pathway is determined by the density of receptors. In particular, there appears to be a minimal number of receptor-ligand complexes which is required to generate rapidly sufficient I-1,4,5-P3 to release intracellular Ca2+ and cause a secretory burst.  相似文献
