Carbachol and histamine stimulation of guanine-nucleotide-dependent phosphoinositide hydrolysis in rat brain cortical membranes.

ABSTRACT: Guanine nucleotides have been shown to stimulate phosphoinositide breakdown in brain membranes, but no potentiation of such an effect by agonist was demonstrated. We have studied the effect of carbachol and histamine on guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) stimulation of inositol phosphates formation in [3H]inositol-labelled rat brain cortical membranes. In this preparation, GTP[S] enhancement of phosphoinositide hydrolysis required the presence of MgATP and low Ca2+ concentration (100 nM). Carbachol potentiation of the GTP[S] effect was only observed when 1 mM-deoxycholate was also added. Under these conditions, stimulated production of [3H]inositol phosphates was linear for at least 15 min, and [3H]inositol bisphosphate [( 3H]IP2) accounted for approx. 80%, whereas the amount of [3H]inositol trisphosphate [( 3H]IP3) was very low. Stimulation by GTP[S] was concentration-dependent (half-maximal effect at 0.86 microM), and its maximal effect (815% over basal) was increased by 1 mM-carbachol (1.9-fold) and -histamine (1.7-fold). Both agonists decreased the slope index of the GTP[S] concentration/effect curve to values lower than unity, suggesting the appearance of some heterogeneity in the population of guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) involved. The carbachol and histamine effects were also concentration-dependent, and were inhibited by atropine and mepyramine respectively. Fluoroaluminate stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis to a higher extent than GTP[S] plus carbachol, and these stimulations were not additive, indicating that the same polyphosphoinositide phospholipase C-coupled G-protein mediates both effects.

Project description: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.
