Exposure of cultured hepatocytes to cyclic AMP enhances the vasopressin-mediated stimulation of inositol phosphate production.

ABSTRACT: 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.

Type 2 inositol trisphosphate receptor gene expression in hepatocytes is regulated by cyclic AMP.

Project description:The type 2 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R2) is the principal intracellular Ca2+ release channel in hepatocytes, and so is important for bile secretion and other functions. IP3R2 activity is regulated in part by post-translational modifications but little is known about transcriptional regulation of its expression. We found that both IP3R2 mRNA and protein levels in liver were increased during fasting. Treatment of hepatocytes with forskolin or 8-CPT-cAMP also increased IP3R2, and this was reduced by actinomycin D. Analysis of the IP3R2 promoter revealed five CREs, and CREB potently increased promoter activity. Mutation of CRE4 or CRE5 decreased induction by CREB, and ChIP assay showed recruitment of CREB to these sites. Adenylyl cyclase (AC) 6 and 9 were the principal AC isoforms detected in rat hepatocytes, and silencing either one decreased organic anion secretion, which depends on IP3R2. Secretion furthermore was increased by overnight but not acute treatment with forskolin or 8-CPT-cAMP. These findings provide evidence that IP3R2 expression is transcriptionally regulated by cAMP via CREB binding to CRE elements in its promoter. The findings furthermore suggest that this mechanism is relevant for hormonal regulation of bile secretion.

Stimulation, by vasopressin and other agonists, of inositol-lipid breakdown and inositol phosphate accumulation in WRK 1 cells.

Project description:WRK 1 cells were labelled to equilibrium with 2-myo-[3H]inositol and stimulated with vasopressin. Within 3 s of hormone stimulation there was a marked accumulation of 3H-labelled InsP2 and InsP3 (inositol bis- and tris-phosphate), but not of InsP (inositol monophosphate). There was an associated, and rapid, depletion of 3H-labelled PtdInsP and PtdInsP2 (phosphatidylinositol mono- and bis-phosphates), but not of PtdIns (phosphatidylinositol), in these cells. Some 4% of the radioactivity in the total inositol lipid pool of WRK 1 cells was recovered in InsP2 and InsP3 after 10 s stimulation with the hormone. The selectivity of the vasopressin receptors of WRK 1 cells for a variety of vasopressin agonists and antagonists revealed these to be of the V1a subtype. There was no receptor reserve for vasopressin-stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation in WRK 1 cells. The accumulation of inositol phosphates was enhanced in the presence of Li+ions. Half-maximal accumulation of InsP, InsP2 and InsP3 in vasopressin-stimulated cells was observed with 0.9, 3.0 and 3.6 mM-Li+ respectively. Bradykinin and 5-hydroxytryptamine also provoked inositol phosphate accumulation in WRK 1 cells. The effects of sub-optimal concentrations of bradykinin and vasopressin upon inositol phosphate accumulation were additive, but those of optimal concentrations of the hormones were not.

Cyclic AMP directs inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate-evoked Ca2+ signalling to different intracellular Ca2+ stores.

Project description:Cholesterol depletion reversibly abolishes carbachol-evoked Ca(2+) release from inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive stores, without affecting the distribution of IP3 receptors (IP3R) or endoplasmic reticulum, IP3 formation or responses to photolysis of caged IP3. Receptors that stimulate cAMP formation do not alone evoke Ca(2+) signals, but they potentiate those evoked by carbachol. We show that these potentiated signals are entirely unaffected by cholesterol depletion and that, within individual cells, different IP3-sensitive Ca(2+) stores are released by carbachol alone and by carbachol combined with receptors that stimulate cAMP formation. We suggest that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in lipid rafts deliver IP3 at high concentration to associated IP3R, stimulating them to release Ca(2+). Muscarinic receptors outside rafts are less closely associated with IP3R and provide insufficient local IP3 to activate IP3R directly. These IP3R, probably type 2 IP3R within a discrete Ca(2+) store, are activated only when their sensitivity is increased by cAMP. Sensitization of IP3R by cAMP extends the effective range of signalling by phospholipase C, allowing muscarinic receptors that are otherwise ineffective to recruit additional IP3-sensitive Ca(2+) stores.

Modulation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by vasopressin and calcitonin in cultured porcine renal LLC-PK1 cells.

Project description:We have previously demonstrated that a cultured porcine kidney cell, LLC-PK(1), maintains the characteristics of a polar renal epithelial cell in culture, and responds to salmon calcitonin and [arginine]vasopressin by increasing cyclic AMP content. To demonstrate the usefulness of this cell line as a model for the study of the biochemical events distal to cyclic AMP production, the activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was examined. Intact cells in monolayer demonstrated progressive increases in cyclic AMP content and activation of protein kinase in response to [arginine]vasopressin (2-200nm) and salmon calcitonin (0.03-30nm) with both hormones fully activating the enzyme at a cell cyclic AMP content of 35pmol/mg of protein. Of the total cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity, 80% was found in the 27000g supernatant fraction of sonicated cell material, and this soluble protein kinase could be fully activated by hormone. Conversely, the 27000g pellet contained a significant proportion of cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase and only 20% of total cell cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; the latter showed little response to hormone. On the basis of DEAE-cellulose chromatography, type II protein kinase was the predominant isoenzyme in both soluble and particulate fractions of the LLC-PK(1) cells and the soluble fractions of rat and guinea-pig renal medulla. Thus, the LLC-PK(1) cell line can serve as a model for hormonal modulation of protein kinase and as a potential source for defining the endogenous substrates for these enzymes.

Ethanol increases receptor-dependent cyclic AMP production in cultured hepatocytes by decreasing G(i)-mediated inhibition.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that ethanol-induced changes in cyclic AMP (cAMP) signal transduction play a critical role in the acute and chronic effects of ethanol. Here we have investigated the effects of ethanol on cAMP signal transduction in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. Acute exposure to ethanol had a biphasic effect on glucagon-receptor-dependent cAMP production in intact cells: 25-50 mM-ethanol decreased cAMP, whereas treatment with 100-200 mM-ethanol increased cAMP. After chronic exposure to 50-200 mM-ethanol for 48 h in culture, glucagon-receptor-dependent cAMP levels were increased, but no change in glucagon receptor number was observed. These effects of ethanol were independent of ethanol oxidation. Chronic ethanol treatment also increased adenosine-receptor- and forskolin-stimulated cAMP production. Increased cAMP production was also observed upon stimulation of adenylate cyclase with glucagon, forskolin and F- in membranes isolated from cells cultured with 100 mM-ethanol for 48 h. However, no differences were observed in basal and MnCl2-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The quantity of alpha i protein was decreased by 35% after chronic ethanol treatment, but no change in the quantity of alpha s protein was detected. Decreased alpha i protein was associated with a decrease in G(i) function, as assessed by the ability of 0.1 nM-guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate and 1 microM-somatostatin to inhibit forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. Taken together, these results suggest that chronic exposure to ethanol increases receptor-dependent cAMP production in hepatocytes by decreasing the quantity of alpha i protein at the plasma membrane and thereby decreasing the inhibitory effects of G(i) on adenylate cyclase activity.

Glucagon, cyclic AMP and adrenaline stimulate the degradation of low-density lipoprotein by cultured rat hepatocytes.

Project description:Rat hepatocytes were preincubated for 16 h with hormones or drugs and then for a further 8 h with 125I-human low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Glucagon (via cyclic AMP) and adrenaline (via cyclic AMP and alpha-effects) increased the binding of 125I-LDL to the LDL receptor, and the degradation of LDL to [125I]iodotyrosine. The effects on degradation were antagonized by dexamethasone, and the action of cyclic AMP on binding and degradation was inhibited by actinomycin D. The results are discussed in relation to the control of lipoprotein metabolism in diabetes.

Adenosine A1 receptors mediate chronic ethanol-induced increases in receptor-stimulated cyclic AMP in cultured hepatocytes.

Project description:Cellular responses to adenosine depend on the distribution of the two adenosine receptor subclasses. In primary cultures of rat hepatocytes, adenosine receptors were coupled to adenylate cyclase via A1 and A2 receptors which inhibit and stimulate cyclic AMP production respectively. R-(-)-N6-(2-phenylisopropyl)-adenosine (R-PIA), the adenosine A1 receptor-selective agonist, inhibited glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP production with an IC50 of 19 nM. This inhibition was blocked by the A1-specific antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dimethylxanthine (CPDX). 5'-N- Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), an agonist which stimulates A2 receptors, increased cyclic AMP production with an EC50 of 0.6 microM. Treatment of primary cultures of rat hepatocytes with 100 mM ethanol for 48 h decreases the quantity and function of the inhibitory guanine-nucleotide regulatory protein (G(i)), resulting in a sensitization of receptor-stimulated cyclic AMP production [Nagy and deSilva (1992) Biochem. J. 286, 681-686]. When cells were cultured with 2 units/ml adenosine deaminase, to degrade extracellular adenosine, ethanol-induced increases in cyclic AMP production were completely prevented. Moreover, the specific A1-receptor antagonist, CPDX, also blocked the chronic effects of ethanol on receptor-stimulated cyclic AMP production. Treatment with adenosine deaminase or CPDX also prevented the decrease in quantity of the alpha subunit protein of G(i) observed in hepatocytes after chronic treatment with ethanol. Taken together, these results suggest that activation of adenosine A1 receptors on primary cultures of hepatocytes is involved in the development of chronic ethanol-induced sensitization of receptor-stimulated cyclic AMP production.

Regulation of cyclic AMP by extracellular ATP in cultured brain capillary endothelial cells.

Project description:1 In primary unpassaged rat brain capillary endothelial cell cultures (RBECs), using reverse-transcriptase PCR with primers specific for P2Y receptor subtypes, we detected mRNA for P2Y2, P2Y4 and P2Y6, but not P2Y1 receptors. 2 None of the various nucleotides tested reduced forskolin elevated cyclic AMP levels in RBECs. ATP and ATPgammaS, as well as adenosine, enhanced cyclic AMP accumulation in the presence of forskolin. 3 Comparison of the concentration response curves to ATPgammaS with those for ATP and adenosine, at different incubation times, indicated that the response to purine nucleotides was not wholly dependent on conversion to adenosine. Adenosine deaminase abolished the response to adenosine but only reduced the response to ATP by about 50%. These results suggest the participation of a receptor responsive to nucleotides. 4 Isobutylmethylxanthine and 8-sulphophenyltheophylline prevented the cyclic AMP response, while neither 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine nor SCH58261 were effective antagonists. 2-chloradenosine gave a robust response, but neither 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine nor CGS 21680 were agonists. 5 These results show that adenosine and ATP can elevate the cyclic AMP levels of brain endothelial cells by acting on receptors which have a pharmacology apparently distinct from known P2Y and adenosine receptors.

AKAP-Lbc enhances cyclic AMP control of the ERK1/2 cascade.

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades propagate a variety of cellular activities. Processive relay of signals through RAF-MEK-ERK modulates cell growth and proliferation. Signalling through this ERK cascade is frequently amplified in cancers, and drugs such as sorafenib (which is prescribed to treat renal and hepatic carcinomas) and PLX4720 (which targets melanomas) inhibit RAF kinases. Natural factors that influence ERK1/2 signalling include the second messenger cyclic AMP. However, the mechanisms underlying this cascade have been difficult to elucidate. We demonstrate that the A-kinase-anchoring protein AKAP-Lbc and the scaffolding protein kinase suppressor of Ras (KSR-1) form the core of a signalling network that efficiently relay signals from RAF, through MEK, and on to ERK1/2. AKAP-Lbc functions as an enhancer of ERK signalling by securing RAF in the vicinity of MEK1 and synchronizing protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation of Ser 838 on KSR-1. This offers mechanistic insight into cAMP-responsive control of ERK signalling events.

Different modulatory effects of elevated cyclic AMP on cytosolic Ca2+ spikes induced by phenylephrine or vasopressin in single rat hepatocytes.

Project description:We show here, by aequorin measurements in single isolated rat hepatocytes, that elevation of cyclic AMP, by dibutyryl cyclic AMP, forskolin or glucagon, has different effects on oscillations in cytosolic concentration of free Ca2+ ('free Ca') induced by phenylephrine or vasopressin. Elevated cyclic AMP does not itself induce free Ca oscillations, but enhances both the peak free Ca and the frequency of spikes induced by phenylephrine. In contrast, elevated cyclic AMP has no effect on peak free Ca of vasopressin-induced spikes, but markedly prolongs the falling phase, with the result that spiking frequency (peak to peak) falls, although the period between spikes of resting free Ca is usually decreased. The data provide another example of receptor-specific information being retained in the oscillator mechanism, with implications for models of the hepatocyte calcium oscillator.
