Human platelets were found by immunoblot analysis to express protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes alpha, beta, delta, and zeta, but not gamma, epsilon, or eta. Exposure of platelets to thrombin, in the presence of 1 mM calcium, induced increased membrane association of PKC-alpha, -beta, and -zeta, while the subcellular distribution of PKC-delta remained unaltered. Maximal membrane association (2-fold) of PKC-alpha, -beta, and -zeta occurred within 1 min and was sustained for at least 10 min after the addition of thrombin. Similar results were obtained in the presence of the RGDS peptide, which blocks thrombin-induced binding of fibrinogen to its receptor, which indicates that PKC translocation was independent of fibrinogen binding. In the absence of added extracellular calcium, thrombin-induced translocation of PKC-alpha, -beta, and -zeta was transient, reaching a maximum at 1 min and returning to base line by 10 min. In the presence of calcium, thrombin induced a rapid (within 15 s) 8-fold rise in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, which returned to baseline levels within 1 min, and a biphasic increase in sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), with peaks at 15 s and 2 min, which remained elevated for at least 5 min. Chelation of external calcium abolished the second phase of DAG formation but had no effect on the kinetics or magnitude of the increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate or the first phase of DAG formation. Two early PKC-dependent functions, serotonin release and 40-kDa protein phosphorylation, were independent of extracellular calcium and sustained DAG. These data demonstrate that in thrombin-stimulated human platelets the duration of the increased PKC membrane association closely parallels that of increased DAG content, and sustained elevations in DAG content and PKC translocation are dependent on extracellular calcium. 相似文献

The magnitude and temporal nature of intracellular signaling cascades can now be visualized directly in single cells by the use of protein domains tagged with enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP). In this study, signaling downstream of G protein-coupled receptor-mediated phospholipase C (PLC) activation has been investigated in a cell line coexpressing recombinant M(3) muscarinic acetylcholine and alpha(1B) -adrenergic receptors. Confocal measurements of changes in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)), using the pleckstrin homology domain of PLCdelta1 tagged to eGFP (eGFP-PH(PLCdelta)), and 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), using the C1 domain of protein kinase Cgamma (PKCgamma) (eGFP-C1(2)-PKCgamma), demonstrated clear translocation responses to methacholine and noradrenaline. Single cell EC(50) values calculated for each agonist indicated that responses to downstream signaling targets (Ca(2+) mobilization and PKC activation) were approximately 10-fold lower compared with respective Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and DAG EC(50) values. Examining the temporal profile of second messenger responses to sub-EC(50) concentrations of noradrenaline revealed oscillatory Ins(1,4,5)P(3), DAG, and Ca(2+) responses. Oscillatory recruitments of conventional (PKCbetaII) and novel (PKCepsilon) PKC isoenzymes were also observed which were synchronous with the Ca(2+) response measured simultaneously in the same cell. However, oscillatory PKC activity (as determined by translocation of eGFP-tagged myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate protein) required oscillatory DAG production. We suggest a model that uses regenerative Ca(2+) release via Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptors to initiate oscillatory second messenger production through a positive feedback effect on PLC. By acting on various components of the PLC signaling pathway the frequency-encoded Ca(2+) response is able to maintain signal specificity at a level downstream of PKC activation. 相似文献

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) plays a vital role in the generation and regulation of the immune response, including important aspects of T cell survival. IL-2-mediated survival of T cells appears to be dependent on the activation of a pool of membrane-associated protein kinase C (PKC) that occurs in the absence of detectable translocation of the enzyme from the cytosol to membranes. In this report we investigate the mechanism(s) responsible for this PKC activation after IL-2 stimulation in the cytotoxic T cell line, CTLL-2. Tyrosine kinase activity, activated after IL-2 stimulation, was found not to be linked to the activation of PKC by the cytokine. On the other hand, a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G protein did appear coupled to PKC activation since PTX effectively blocked IL-2 stimulated PKC activity. Diacylglycerols (DAG), but not inositol 1,3,5-triphosphate (IP3) and intracellular Ca2+, increased after IL-2 stimulation suggesting that DAGs were generated via the phosphatidylcholine-phospholipase C (PC-PLC) or phosphatidylcholine-phospholipase D (PC-PLD) pathways. The increase in DAG by IL-2 was probably necessary for activation of membrane-resident PKC since exogenously applied DAG stimulated this PKC pool in both intact cells and in isolated membranes. IL-2 also increased arachidonic acid (AA) production in CTLL-2 cells, probably via phospholipase A2 (PLA2) since the PLA2 inhibitors oleoyloxyethyl phosphocholine and AACOCF3 (AACF) effectively blocked IL-2 stimulated PKC activation. Exogenous AA also increased PKC activity in intact cells and isolated membranes, suggesting that AA produced by IL-2 receptor stimulation was probably linked to PKC activation. These results suggest that the activation of membrane-resident PKC by IL-2 involves multiple second messengers, including G proteins, DAG and AA. 相似文献

sn-1,2-Diacylglycerol (DAG) mass and translocation of protein kinase C alpha and beta to a membrane fraction increased approximately 7 min after insemination of Xenopus laevis eggs. The DAG mass increase of 48 pmol (from 62 to 110 pmol/cell) was greater than that for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3; an increase of approximately 170 fmol or approximately 280-fold smaller than the DAG increase), and DAG peaks approximately 5 min after IP3. Choline mass (a measure of phosphatidyl choline-specific phospholipase D) also peaked before DAG and the choline increase (134 pmol/cell) was greater than that of DAG. There was no detectable change in phosphocholine mass (a measure of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C). During first cleavage, DAG decreased, PKC translocation was low, and choline increased and peaked (whereas published work shows an increase in IP3 mass). Artificial elevation of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) increased DAG levels but prevention of the [Ca2+]i increase after fertilization did not block DAG production. Thus, sperm stimulate production of DAG and choline through [Ca2+]i-independent and [Ca2+]i-dependent paths. 相似文献

Activation of Ca2+-mobilizing receptors rapidly increases the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration both by releasing Ca2+ stored in endoplasmic reticulum and by stimulating Ca2+ entry into the cells. The mechanism by which Ca2+ release occurs has recently been elucidated. Receptor activation of phospholipase C results in the hydrolysis of the plasma membrane lipid, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), to yield two intracellular messengers, diacylglycerol (DAG) and (1,4,5)inositol trisphosphate [(1,4,5)IP3]. DAG remains in the plasma membrane where it stimulates protein phosphorylation via the phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C. (1,4,5)IP3 diffuses to and interacts with specific sites on the endoplasmic reticulum to release stored Ca2+. Receptor stimulation of phospholipase C appears to be mediated by one or more guanine nucleotide-dependent regulatory proteins by a mechanism analogous to hormonal activation of adenylyl cyclase. The actions of (1,4,5)IP3 on Ca2+ mobilization are terminated by two metabolic pathways, sequential dephosphorylation to inositol bisphosphate (IP2), inositol monophosphate (IP) and inositol or by phosphorylation to inositol tetrakisphosphate (IP4) and sequential dephosphorylation to different inositol phosphates. A sustained cellular response also requires Ca2+ entry into the cell from the extracellular space. The mechanism by which hormones increase Ca2+ entry is not known; a recent proposal involving movement of Ca2+ through the endoplasmic reticulum, possibly regulated by IP4, will be considered here. 相似文献

Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)-mediated transmembrane signal control systems were investigated in intact murine neuroblastoma cells (clone N1E-115). PGE1 increased intracellular levels of total inositol phosphates (IP), cyclic GMP, cyclic AMP, and calcium ([Ca2+]i). PGE1 transiently increased inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation, peaking at 20 s. There was more than a 10-fold difference between the ED50 for PGE1 at cyclic AMP formation (70 nM) and its ED50 values at IP accumulation (1 microM), cyclic GMP formation (2 microM), and [Ca2+]i increase (5 microM). PGE1-mediated IP accumulation, cyclic GMP formation, and [Ca2+]i increase depended on both the concentration of PGE1 and extracellular calcium ions. PGE1 had more potent intrinsic activity in cyclic AMP formation, IP accumulation, and cyclic GMP formation than did PGE2, PGF2 alpha, or PGD2. A protein kinase C activator, 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate, had opposite effects on PGE1-mediated IP release and cyclic GMP formation (inhibitory) and cyclic AMP formation (stimulatory). These data suggest that there may be subtypes of the PGE1 receptor in this clone: a high-affinity receptor mediating cyclic AMP formation, and a low-affinity receptor mediating IP accumulation, cyclic GMP formation, and intracellular calcium mobilization. 相似文献

Regulation of canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel function by diacylglycerol and protein kinase C 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The mechanism of receptor-induced activation of the ubiquitously expressed family of mammalian canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels has been the focus of intense study. Primarily responding to phospholipase C (PLC)-coupled receptors, the channels are reported to receive modulatory input from diacylglycerol, endoplasmic reticulum inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors and Ca2+ stores. Analysis of TRPC5 channels transfected within DT40 B cells and deletion mutants thereof revealed efficient activation in response to PLC-beta or PLC-gamma activation, which was independent of inositol 1,4,5-trisphoshate receptors or the content of stores. In both HEK293 cells and DT40 cells, TRPC5 and TRPC3 channel responses to PLC activation were highly analogous, but only TRPC3 and not TRPC5 channels responded to the addition of the permeant diacylglycerol (DAG) analogue, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG). However, OAG application or elevated endogenous DAG, resulting from either DAG lipase or DAG kinase inhibition, completely prevented TRPC5 or TRPC4 activation. This inhibitory action of DAG on TRPC5 and TRPC4 channels was clearly mediated by protein kinase C (PKC), in distinction to the stimulatory action of DAG on TRPC3, which is established to be PKC-independent. PKC activation totally blocked TRPC3 channel activation in response to OAG, and the activation was restored by PKC-blockade. PKC inhibition resulted in decreased TRPC3 channel deactivation. Store-operated Ca2+ entry in response to PLC-coupled receptor activation was substantially reduced by OAG or DAG-lipase inhibition in a PKC-dependent manner. However, store-operated Ca2+ entry in response to the pump blocker, thapsigargin, was unaffected by PKC. The results reveal that each TRPC subtype is strongly inhibited by DAG-induced PKC activation, reflecting a likely universal feedback control on TRPCs, and that DAG-mediated PKC-independent activation of TRPC channels is highly subtype-specific. The profound yet distinct control by PKC and DAG of the activation of TRPC channel subtypes is likely the basis of a spectrum of regulatory phenotypes of expressed TRPC channels. 相似文献

Signal transduction in cells following binding of chemoattractants to membrane receptors 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Binding of chemoattractants to specific cell surface receptors on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) initiates a variety of biologic responses, including directed migration (chemotaxis), release of superoxide anions, and lysosomal enzyme secretion. Chemoattractant receptors belong to a large class of receptors which utilize the hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides to initiate Ca2+ mobilization and cellular activation. Receptor occupancy leads to phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) yielding inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2 sn-diacylglycerol (DAG). These products synergize to initiate cell activation via calcium mobilization (IP3) and protein kinase C activation (DAG). Pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates and inactivates some GTP binding proteins (G proteins), abolishes all chemoattractant-induced responses, including Ca2+ mobilization, IP3 and DAG production, enzyme secretion, superoxide production and chemotaxis. Direct evidence for chemoattractant receptor: G protein coupling was obtained using PMN membrane preparations which contain a Ca2+-sensitive phospholipase C. Hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides at resting intracellular Ca2+ levels (100 nm) was only observed when the membranes were stimulated with the chemoattractant N-formyl-methyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) in the presence of GTP. Myeloid cells contain two distinct pertussis toxin substrates of similar molecular weight (40 and 41 kD). The 41 kD substrate resembles Gi, whereas a 40 kD substrate is physically associated with a partially purified fMet-Leu-Phe receptor preparation and may therefore represent a novel G protein involved in chemoattractant-stimulated responses. Metabolism of 1,4,5-IP3 to inositol proceeds via two distinct pathways in PMNs: (1) degradation to 1,4-IP2 and 4-IP1 or (2) conversion to 1,3,4,5-IP4, 1,3,4-IP3, 3,4-IP2 and 3-IP1. Initial formation (0-30 s) of 1,4,5-IP3 and DAG occurs at ambient intracellular Ca2+ levels, whereas formation of 1,3,4-IP3 and a second sustained phase of DAG production (30 s-10 min) require elevated cytosolic Ca2+ influx. The later peak of DAG, which is not derived from phosphoinositides, appears to be required for stimulation of respiratory burst activity. Products formed during activation can feed back to attenuate chemoattractant receptor-mediated stimulation of phospholipase C by uncoupling receptor-G protein-phospholipase C interaction. 相似文献

Abstract: We have previously demonstrated that corticotrophin-releasing factor receptor 1 (CRF-R1) mRNA levels can be down-regulated via activation of the cyclic AMP pathway in CATH.a cells, a neuronal cell line. In this study, we show evidence for down-regulation of CRF-R1 mRNA levels via activation of the protein kinase C (PKC) and calcium second messenger pathways. Incubation of CATH.a cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), an activator of PKC, resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent down-regulation of CRF-R1 mRNA levels. Pretreatment with the inactive phorbol ester 4α-phorbol failed to influence significantly CRF-R1 mRNA levels. Incubation with carbachol, a cholinergic agonist known to activate PKC and increase intracellular calcium levels via phosphatidylinositol breakdown, also down-regulated CRF-R1 mRNA levels. Intracellular calcium levels were directly increased using A23187, a calcium ionophore, and thapsigargin, a calcium-ATPase inhibitor. Elevation of intracellular calcium content using either A23187 or thapsigargin significantly down-regulated levels of CRF-R1 mRNA. Furthermore, chelation of calcium with EGTA or blockade of voltage-dependent calcium channels with nifedipine inhibited agonist-mediated down-regulation of CRF-R1 mRNA levels. These results indicate that activation of PKC or calcium signal transduction pathways is sufficient to cause down-regulation of CRF-R1 mRNA levels and that calcium is required for agonist-mediated down-regulation of this receptor. 相似文献

Background information. At fertilization in mammalian eggs, the sperm induces a series of Ca2+ oscillations via the production of inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate. Increased inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate production appears to be triggered by a sperm‐derived PLCζ (phospholipase C‐ζ) that enters the egg after gamete fusion. The specific phosphatidylinositol 4,5‐bisphosphate hydrolytic activity of PLCζ implies that DAG (diacylglycerol) production, and hence PKC (protein kinase C) stimulation, also occurs during mammalian egg fertilization. Fertilization‐mediated increase in PKC activity has been demonstrated; however, its precise role is unclear. Results. We investigated PLCζ‐ and fertilization‐mediated generation of DAG in mouse eggs by monitoring plasma‐membrane translocation of a fluorescent DAG‐specific reporter. Consistent plasma‐membrane DAG formation at fertilization, or after injection of physiological concentrations of PLCζ, was barely detectable. However, when PLCζ is overexpressed in eggs, significant plasma‐membrane DAG production occurs in concert with a series of unexpected secondary high‐frequency Ca2+ oscillations. We show that these secondary Ca2+ oscillations can be mimicked in a variety of situations by the stimulation of PKC and that they can be prevented by PKC inhibition. The way PKC leads to secondary Ca2+ oscillations appears to involve Ca2+ influx and the loading of thapsigargin‐sensitive Ca2+ stores. Conclusions. Our results suggest that overproduction of DAG in PLCζ‐injected eggs can lead to PKC‐mediated Ca2+ influx and subsequent overloading of Ca2+ stores. These results suggest that DAG generation in the plasma membrane of fertilizing mouse eggs is minimized since it can perturb egg Ca2+ homoeostasis via excessive Ca2+ influx. 相似文献

Abstract: The role that inositol lipids play in cellular signaling events in eukaryotic cells remains one of the most intensively investigated areas of cell biology. In this respect, phosphoinositide-mediated signal transduction in the CNS is no exception; major advances have been made since a previous review on this subject (Fisher and Agranoff, 1987). Not only have stimulated phosphoinositide turnover and its physiological sequelae been demonstrated repeatedly in a variety of neural preparations, but, in addition, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying these events continue to unfold. Here we review the progress that has occurred in selected aspects of this topic since 1987. In the first two sections of this article, emphasis is placed on novel functional roles for the inositol lipids and on recent insights into the molecular characteristics and regulation of three key components of the phosphoinositide signal transduction system, namely, the inositol lipid kinases, phospholipases C (PLCs), and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate[I(1,4,5)P3 ] receptor. The metabolic fate of I(1,4,5)P3 in neural tissues, as well as its control, is also detailed. Later we focus on identification of the multiple receptor subtypes that are coupled to inositol lipid turnover and discuss possible strategies for intervention into phosphoinositide-mediated signal transduction. Due to space limitations, an extensive evaluation of the diacylglycerol/protein kinase C (DAG/PKC) limb of the signal transduction pathway is not included (for reviews, see Nishizuka, 1988; Kanoh et al., 1990). 相似文献

Vasoactive intestinal contractor (VIC) caused a series of biochemical events, including the temporal biphasic accumulation of 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), transient formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3, and increase in intracellular free Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) in neuroblastoma NG108-15 cells. In these cellular responses, VIC was found to be much more potent in NG108-15 cells than in cultured rat vascular smooth-muscle cells. The single cell [Ca2+]i assay revealed that in the presence of nifedipine (1 microM) or EGTA (1 mM), the peak [Ca2+]i declined more rapidly to the resting level in VIC-stimulated NG108-15 cells, indicating that the receptor-mediated intracellular Ca2+ mobilization is followed by Ca2+ influx through the nifedipine-sensitive Ca2+ channel. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin only partially decreased Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation as well as the [Ca2+]i transient induced by VIC, whereas these events induced by endothelin-1 were not affected by the toxin, suggesting involvement of distinct GTP-binding proteins. The VIC-induced transient Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation coincident with the first early peak of DAG formation suggested that PtdIns(4,5)P2 is a principal source of the first DAG increase. Labelling studies with [3H]myristate, [14C]palmitate and [3H]choline indicated that in neuroblastoma cells phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) was hydrolysed by a phospholipase C to cause the second sustained DAG increase. Down-regulation of protein kinase C (PKC) by prolonged pretreatment with phorbol ester markedly prevented the VIC-induced delayed DAG accumulation. Furthermore, chelation of intracellular CA2+ completely abolished the second sustained phase of DAG production. These findings suggest that PtdCho hydrolysis is responsible for the sustained production of DAG and is dependent on both Ca2+ and PKC. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate low density lipoprotein (LDL)-induced, non-sterol-dependent signaling and its possible role in cholesterol balance. LDL in 10 microg ml(-1) concentration could induce inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and Ca2+ signal generation through a pertussis toxin (PT) sensitive G protein in human monocytes. The increase in [Ca2+]i was derived from the intracellular pools. LDL also induced activation and translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) into the cell membrane, by processes, which were significantly inhibited in the first 20 min by preincubation with PT and PKC-inhibitor H-7. The PKC-activating phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), differently from LDL, enhanced the LDL-receptor (LDL-R)-mediated binding and degradation of [125I]LDL, but inhibited endogenous cholesterol synthesis, and both effects were inhibited by H-7. The LDL-induced inhibition of binding and degradation of [125I]LDL was not affected by H-7, whereas decreased cholesterol synthesis was counteracted by H-7. These results suggest the existence of a non-sterol-dependent signal pathway of LDL-Rs, by which endogenous cholesterol synthesis, that is, the [14C]acetate incorporation, is regulated through PKC activation. 相似文献

In vivo regulation of hepatic LDL receptor mRNA in the baboon. Differential effects of saturated and unsaturated fat 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effects of diets enriched with cholesterol and different fats upon plasma lipoproteins and hepatic low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor mRNA levels were studied in a group of 18 normal baboons. Animals were fed diets containing 1% cholesterol and 25% fat as either coconut oil, peanut oil, or olive oil for a period of 20 weeks. Plasma total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, beta-lipoprotein (LDL + very low density lipoprotein) cholesterol, apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein A-I were measured in samples obtained at 4-week intervals. All three diet groups demonstrated a statistically significant increase in plasma cholesterol as compared to base line throughout the experiment. Hepatic LDL receptor (LDL-R) mRNA levels were quantified by dot blot hybridization in serial liver biopsies. Animals fed saturated fat sustained a significant reduction in hepatic LDL-R mRNA as compared to those fed either monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat. A strong negative correlation between LDL-R mRNA and plasma total cholesterol (r = -0.71), HDL cholesterol (r = -0.76), and plasma apo A-I (r = -0.77) was observed only in those animals fed coconut oil. Weak negative correlations between LDL-R mRNA and other plasma parameters did not achieve statistical significance. We conclude that saturated and unsaturated oils may influence plasma cholesterol levels in part through differential effects on LDL receptor biosynthesis in baboons. 相似文献

Interaction of Ag, antibodies against the T cell receptor complex, or mitogenic lectins with T lymphocytes induces hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids leading to the production of diacylglycerol (DAG). DAG then activates the Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent phosphotransferase, protein kinase C (PKC). Increases in DAG concentrations are transient as is the increase in PKC activity. Phorbol esters, which induce potent, prolonged activation of PKC, augment many T lymphocyte responses, including cell proliferation and secretion of the T cell growth factor IL-2. Therefore, it has been suggested that activation of PKC is a positive regulatory signal in T lymphocytes. We have determined the consequences of transient stimulation of PKC, and of depletion of PKC, on early cell activation signals and on production of IL-2 by the murine lymphoma line LBRM 331A5. When this cell line is depleted of PKC overnight incubation in high concentrations of phorbol esters, lectin-induced IL-2 secretion is augmented. Similarly, mitogen-induced changes in [Ca2+]i and phosphoinositide metabolism were augmented in these cells. In contrast, a short preactivation of PKC abrogated these early transmembrane signaling events. This suggested that normal physiologic activation of PKC may limit cell activation and decrease IL-2 production. We compared the effects of phorbol esters and mezerein, which produce prolonged activation of PKC, with those of diacylglycerol analogs, which induce transient activation of PKC. At concentrations that give similar levels of PKC activation, phorbol esters and mezerein, but not DAG analogs, increased IL-2 secretion. This suggests that prolonged, nonphysiologic activation of PKC is required to augment IL-2 secretion. Therefore, physiologic activation of PKC may not augment T cell activation but instead may function to decrease cell activation and limit IL-2 secretion. 相似文献

Protein kinase C and T cell activation 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Understanding the intracellular mechanisms by which binding of ligands, such as hormones and growth factors, to their specific receptors elicits the appropriate cellular response has long been a topic of great interest. Considerable excitement was generated when it was recognised that several receptor-ligand interactions operate via the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids. This yields, at least, two 'second messengers', namely, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], which causes the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, and 1,2-diacylglycerol (ac2Gro), which activates the serine/threonine-specific enzyme, protein kinase C(PKC), reviewed in [1] and [2]. The pertinent question that follows is, how do PKC activation and elevation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration evoke cell responses? In this review, attention has been focused on PKC, and the consequences of its activation in resting human T cells. Evidence that PKC activity is, at least partially, responsible for activation of resting human T cells will be examined, and some of the more recent research investigating how PKC activation elicits this cell response will be described. 相似文献

The fucose-sulfate glycoconjugate that induces an acrosome reaction in spermatozoa stimulates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate accumulation 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol may generate multiple second messengers, including inositol phosphates, 1,2-diacylglycerol, arachidonic acid, and phosphatidic acid. Here, we describe for the first time in spermatozoa that accumulation of one of these potential second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3), can be stimulated by the fucose-sulfate glycoconjugate (FSG) that induces an acrosome reaction. Sea urchin spermatozoa were labeled with myo-[3H]inositol and incubated with FSG. The amount of [3H]1,4,5-IP3 obtained from FSG-treated cells was up to 10 times that from untreated cells. Increases in the amount of [3H]1,4,5-IP3 were detected within 30 s after addition of FSG (2.5-fold) and were highest at 2 min after addition. Previously, it was shown that FSG induces Ca2+-dependent increases in cyclic AMP concentrations (Kopf, G. S., and Garbers, D. L. (1980) Biol. Reprod. 22, 1118-1126). Increases in [3H]1,4,5-IP3 accumulation caused by FSG were also dependent on extracellular Ca2+. The Ca2+ channel blockers, verapamil and nifedipine, inhibited increases in both [3H]1,4,5-IP3 and cyclic AMP, and the addition of concentrations of extracellular Ca2+ higher than 9.6 mM could reduce the inhibition. When spermatozoa were incubated in Ca2+-free seawater, FSG-induced increases in [3H]1,4,5-IP3 and cyclic AMP concentrations were blocked; addition of extracellular Ca2+ restored the responses. Other treatments that result in the induction of an acrosome reaction, including the addition of monovalent cation H+ exchangers, nigericin and gramicidin S, and incubation in seawater at alkaline pH (pH 8.8), also stimulated accumulation of [3H]1,4,5-IP3 and cyclic AMP. 相似文献

Luteinizing hormone (LH) interacts with its plasma membrane receptor to stimulate steroidogenesis not only via cyclic AMP but also other pathways which include arachidonic acid and leukotrienes and regulation of chloride and calcium channels. The same stimulatory pathways may lead to desensitization and down-regulation of the LH receptor and steroidogenesis. The LH receptor exists in a dynamic state, being truncated, or internalized, degraded or recycled. Desensitization is controlled by protein kinase C (PKC) in the rat and by cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase and PKC in the mouse Leydig cells. Using an adapted anti-sense oligonucleotide strategy we have shown that the cytoplasmic C-terminal sequence of the LH receptor is essential for desensitization to occur. In contrast, these sequences of the LH receptor are not required for the stimulation of cyclic AMP and steroid production. We have also shown that the extracellular domain of the LH receptor is secreted from the Leydig cell and may act as a LH-binding protein. 相似文献

Metabolism of inositol phosphates in renal cortical slices was investigated in vitro after addition of plasma from uninephrectomized or sham-operated rats. Plasma from uninephrectomized rats stimulated production of InsP3 (inositol trisphosphate) when obtained within the first 3 h after uninephrectomy. With different amounts of added plasma a graded response of InsP3 production was obtained. This effect could be prevented by 0.1 microM-TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate). When analysis of inositol phosphates was performed by h.p.l.c., plasma from uninephrectomized rats stimulated a rapid increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 radioactivity, whereas the increase in inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and Ins(1,3,4)P3 radioactivity was slower. Plasma from uninephrectomized rats decreased cyclic AMP concentration in renal cortical slices. Similar effect was obtained when slices were incubated with TPA (0.05 microM). Plasma from uninephrectomized rats increased cyclic GMP concentration in renal cortical slices, but this effect was abolished when extracellular Ca2+ had been chelated with 4 mM-EGTA. Results indicate that plasma from uninephrectomized rats stimulates phospholipase C, increases cyclic GMP concentration and decreases cyclic AMP concentration in renal cortical slices. Increases in cyclic GMP depend on extracellular Ca2+, whereas the decrease in cyclic AMP concentration is mediated by protein kinase C. 相似文献
