Pertussis toxin does not inhibit muscarinic-receptor-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis or calcium mobilization.

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:We have explored the hypothesis that the apparent greater efficiency of cholecystokinin (CCK-8) receptor-second messenger coupling compared with that of muscarinic receptor in Flow 9000 cells is due to differential feedback inhibitory control mechanisms. Pretreatment of Flow 9000 cells with the tumour-promoting protein kinase C (PKC)-activating agent 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) produced a time- and dose-dependent inhibition of CCK-8 and acetylcholine (ACh) stimulation of inositol phosphate production. The inhibition by TPA of ACh-induced PI (phosphoinositide) response involved reduction of the maximal response, but no change in the concentration of ACh required to evoke a half-maximal response. In contrast, TPA inhibition of CCK-8 responses could be overcome by increasing the CCK-8 concentrations. Flow 9000 cells pretreated with TPA exhibited a 52-68% reduction in [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) binding capacity, whereas [125I]CCK-8 binding was unchanged. In saponin-permeabilized Flow 9000 cells, TPA pretreatment had no effect on guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S])-induced inositol phosphate formation, indicating that G-protein linkage to phosphoinositidase C (PIC) was not affected. However, TPA significantly inhibited the potentiating effect of GTP[S] on CCK-8 and ACh activation of PI response, suggesting that the coupling between the receptors and the G-protein was impaired. The PKC-activator 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), a diacylglycerol analogue, also significantly reduced CCK-8 and ACh stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation in these cells. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that muscarinic activation of PI hydrolysis is subjected to rapid feedback inhibition via the 1,2-diacylglycerol-PKC pathway. CCK-receptor activation of PI turnover is modulated to a lesser extent, and this may partially explain apparent differences in the efficiency of receptor-second messenger coupling. It is proposed that TPA acting through PKC exerts its inhibitory action on muscarinic-agonist-mediated PI response mainly at the receptor level, whereas the inhibitory effect on CCK-8 response is at a site close to the receptor-G-protein coupling step.
