Possible regulatory functions of protein kinase C-alpha and -epsilon isoenzymes in rat renal mesangial cells. Stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis and feedback inhibition of angiotensin II-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis.

ABSTRACT: Short-term treatment of mesangial cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) decreases angiotensin II-induced InsP3 formation, but potentiates hormone-stimulated arachidonic acid release and prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis. Long-term treatment with PMA augments hormone-stimulated InsP3 generation (after 8 h treatment), but eliminates angiotensin II-induced arachidonic acid release and PGE2 formation (after 24 h treatment). By using specific antibodies it is observed that mesangial cells express two protein kinase C (PKC) isoenzymes, PKC-alpha and -epsilon. No PKC-beta and -gamma isoenzymes are detected. On exposure to PMA a complete depletion of PKC-alpha is observed within 8 h. In contrast, down-regulation of PKC-epsilon to 10-20% of that found in control cells requires a 24 h treatment with PMA. These results may imply that PKC-alpha mediates feedback inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis, whereas PKC-epsilon is a candidate for regulating PG synthesis in mesangial cells.

Pertussis toxin abolishes angiotensin II-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis and prostaglandin synthesis in rat renal mesangial cells.

Project description:Incubation of rat renal mesangial cells with angiotensin II (0.1 microM) resulted in transient breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, rapid generation of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid, increased 45Ca2+ influx, increased intracellular [Ca2+] as measured by quin 2, and increased prostaglandin E2 synthesis. All of these processes were markedly inhibited time- and dose-dependently by prior exposure of cells to pertussis toxin. In contrast, the effects of the ionophore A23187 on 45Ca2+ influx and prostaglandin E2 synthesis were not altered by the exposure of the cells to pertussis toxin. The action of the toxin was not associated with alterations in cellular concentrations of cyclic AMP. Incubation of membrane fraction of mesangial cells with pertussis toxin resulted in ADP-ribosylation of Mr-42,000 protein. From all these results, it is likely that a G protein is involved in receptor-mediated signal transduction in renal mesangial cells.

Phosphoinositide hydrolysis in mitogen-stimulated human peripheral-blood T lymphocytes.

Project description:Both phytohaemagglutinin and antibodies to the CD3 molecule induced proliferation and phosphoinositide hydrolysis in human peripheral-blood T lymphocytes, but the magnitude of the inositol phosphate response was small and the rate of accumulation slow [significant increases in Ins(1,4,5)P3 were observed only after 10 min]. Hence this response differs from the well-characterized Ins(1,4,5)P3 responses of many other systems. This slow response, its abrogation in Ca2+-depleted medium, the slow and maintained increase in Ca2+ as measured by Quin-2, and the ability of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 to stimulate Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation all suggest that the increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 occurs, at least in part, as a result of receptor-mediated Ca2+ influx in mitogen-stimulated T lymphocytes.

Small Peptides Able to Suppress Prostaglandin E? Generation in Renal Mesangial Cells.

Project description:Peptide drug discovery may play a key role in the identification of novel medicinal agents. Here, we present the development of novel small peptides able to suppress the production of PGE? in mesangial cells. The new compounds were generated by structural alterations applied on GK115, a novel inhibitor of secreted phospholipase A?, which has been previously shown to reduce PGE? synthesis in rat renal mesangial cells. Among the synthesized compounds, the tripeptide derivative 11 exhibited a nice dose-dependent suppression of PGE? production, similar to that observed for GK115.

Differential potentiation of mitogen-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis in protein kinase C-depleted Swiss 3T3 cells.

Project description:In Swiss 3T3 cells, depletion of protein kinase C (PKC) by prolonged incubation with phorbol esters potentiates the formation of total inositol phosphates in response to bombesin or vasopressin [Blakeley, Corps & Brown (1989) Biochem. J. 258, 177-185]. The characteristics of the accumulation of inositol phosphates in control and PKC-depleted cells stimulated by bombesin, vasopressin or prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) have now been compared. The potentiation of the PGF2 alpha response was greater than that of the vasopressin response which was, in turn, greater than that of the bombesin response. The time courses of the responses to all three agonists were biphasic, and both phases of the response were amplified in the PKC-depleted cells. These results provide further evidence for the involvement of a PKC-mediated negative-feedback loop regulating phosphoinositide hydrolysis in response to several 3T3 cell mitogens. The differential potentiation of the response to these agonists suggests that PKC might act at multiple sites within the signal transduction pathway.

Stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by oxytocin and the mechanism by which oxytocin controls prostaglandin synthesis in the ovine endometrium.

Project description:Slices of caruncular endometrium from steroid-treated ovariectomized sheep were incubated with myo-[2-3H]inositol to label tissue phosphatidylinositol. Effects of oxytocin were determined on the rate of incorporation of radioactivity into phosphatidylinositol and on the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides to inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol. Incorporation of radioactivity into phosphatidylinositol was linear during 2 h incubations; 10(-7) M (100 nM)-oxytocin caused a 2.8-fold increase in the rate of incorporation. In the presence of Li+, addition of 10(-7) M-oxytocin to slices in which phosphatidylinositol was pre-labelled caused mean increase of 40-fold in the incorporation of radioactivity into inositol mono-, bis- and tris-phosphates. Inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate was quantitatively the major trisphosphate formed. The action of oxytocin on phosphoinositide hydrolysis was dose- and time-dependent, occurring at concentrations within the range observed in plasma during episodes of secretion in vivo, and with a time course comparable with that of the action of oxytocin on uterine prostaglandin production. The effect of oxytocin on incorporation of radioactivity into inositol phosphates was not affected by inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis. Diacylglycerol 1- and 2-lipases in caruncular endometrium converted up to 72% of added 2-[3H]arachidonyldiacylglycerol into [3H]arachidonic acid during 30 min incubations at pH 7.0. Caruncular endometrium contained 1.49 mumol of phosphatidylinositol/g, representing approx. 0.2 mumol/g of phosphatidylinositol arachidonic acid. It is proposed that the stimulation of endometrial prostaglandin synthesis by oxytocin is accounted for by increased hydrolysis of phosphoinositides to diacylglycerol and inositol phosphates with subsequent release of arachidonic acid from diacylglycerol.

Developmental expression of a Trypanosoma cruzi phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in amastigotes and stimulation of host phosphoinositide hydrolysis.

Project description:Phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PI-PLC) plays an essential role in cell signaling. A unique Trypanosoma cruzi PI-PLC (TcPI-PLC) is lipid modified in its N terminus and localizes to the outer surface of the plasma membrane of amastigotes. We show here that TcPI-PLC is developmentally regulated in amastigotes and shows two peaks of surface expression during the developmental cycle of T. cruzi, the first immediately after differentiation of trypomastigotes into amastigotes and the second before differentiation of amastigotes into trypomastigotes. Surface expression of TcPI-PLC coincides with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) depletion in the host cell membrane and with an increase in the levels of its product, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. During extracellular differentiation, PI-PLC is secreted into the incubation medium. Maximal early expression of TcPI-PLC on the surface of amastigotes and PIP(2) depletion coincide with host cytoskeletal changes, Ca(2+) signaling, and transcriptional responses described previously. The presence of TcPI-PLC on the outer surface of the plasma membrane of the parasite and the capacity to be secreted and to alter host phospholipids are novel mechanisms of the host-parasite interaction.

Agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate generation by scaffolded phosphoinositide kinases.

Project description:Generation of the lipid messenger phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) is crucial for development, cell growth and survival, and motility, and it becomes dysfunctional in many diseases including cancers. Here we reveal a mechanism for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 generation by scaffolded phosphoinositide kinases. In this pathway, class I phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) is assembled by IQGAP1 with PI(4)KIII? and PIPKI?, which sequentially generate PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 from phosphatidylinositol. By scaffolding these kinases into functional proximity, the PtdIns(4,5)P2 generated is selectively used by PI(3)K for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 generation, which then signals to PDK1 and Akt that are also in the complex. Moreover, multiple receptor types stimulate the assembly of this IQGAP1-PI(3)K signalling complex. Blockade of IQGAP1 interaction with PIPKI? or PI(3)K inhibited PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 generation and signalling, and selectively diminished cancer cell survival, revealing a target for cancer chemotherapy.

Somatostatin inhibits vasopressin-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and influx of extracellular calcium in clonal hamster beta (HIT) cells.

Project description:Vasopressin (VP) stimulates insulin secretion and inositol phosphate (InsP) production in clonal hamster beta cells (HIT) via a cyclic AMP-independent V1-receptor-mediated signal-transduction pathway. Somatostatin (SRIF) inhibited VP-stimulated insulin secretion, and the effects of SRIF were abolished by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. The Ca(2+)-channel blockers verapamil and nifedipine also inhibited VP-stimulated insulin secretion during 20 min incubations, but verapamil was ineffective at 2 min, and the effects of SRIF and nifedipine together were not addictive. SRIF failed to inhibit further the attenuated insulin response to VP in Ca(2+)-free medium. VP-stimulated InsP production was also inhibited by SRIF in a pertussis-toxin-sensitive manner. Whereas VP-stimulated insulin secretion was almost completely inhibited by SRIF at an equimolar concentration, VP-stimulated InsP production was much less sensitive to inhibition by SRIF, even at a 100-fold excess concentration. VP increased cytosolic Ca2+ in HIT cells loaded with fura 2, the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator. The increase was biphasic, with an initial rapid spike increase followed by a prolonged second phase. Both SRIF, at a concentration which inhibited VP-stimulated insulin secretion but not InsP production, and verapamil failed to inhibit the rapid spike increase in intracellular Ca2+, but did inhibit the second phase. We conclude that VP induces biphasic changes in cytosolic Ca2+, secondary to mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and influx of extracellular Ca2+. SRIF inhibits insulin secretion by interrupting influx of extracellular Ca2+, likely by inhibiting Gi-subunit activity. Inhibition of VP-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, which is also pertussis-toxin-sensitive, may represent an additional mechanism of action of SRIF.

Insulin-dependent contractility of glomerular mesangial cells in response to angiotensin II, platelet-activating factor and endothelin is attenuated by prostaglandin E2.

Project description:Culture of glomerular mesangial cells in the absence of insulin decreased the degree of contraction of individual cells in response to vasoconstrictive agonists, angiotensin II, platelet-activating factor and endothelin 1, as compared with cells cultured in the presence of insulin (0.7 nM). This change was associated with a decreased sensitivity of the intracellular Ca2+ response to vasoactive agents in fura-2-loaded cells and with an increase in the basal level of prostanoid [prostaglandins (PG) E1 and E2] production estimated by radioimmunoassay. Addition of exogenous PGE2 to insulin-exposed cells decreased the contractile response to that observed in insulin-deficient cells. Inclusion of 8-bromo cyclic AMP had a similar effect. In 45Ca2(+)-release studies it was shown that, in saponin-permeabilized insulin-exposed cells, preincubation with exogenous PGE2 or 8-bromo cyclic AMP decreased the sensitivity of 45Ca2+ release in response to Ins(1,4,5)P3, as demonstrated by an increase in the EC50 (concn. giving half-maximal effect) to 0.182 +/- 0.024 microM and 0.457 +/- 0.031 microM respectively, as compared with untreated permeabilized cells (EC50 0.091 +/- 0.021 microM). A similar decrease in Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive 45Ca2+ release was seen in permeabilized cells from insulin-free conditions of culture (EC50 0.20 +/- 0.061 microM). As altered glomerular haemodynamics are found in insulinopaenic diabetic conditions, it is proposed that a decrease in intracellular Ca2+ availability in response to vasoactive agonists and consequent decrease in mesangial-cell contractility contributes to the hyperfiltration seen in this condition.
