GABAB receptor-mediated inhibition of histamine H1-receptor-induced inositol phosphate formation in slices of rat cerebral cortex.

Histamine-stimulated accumulation of [3H]inositol monophosphate ([3H]IP1) in lithium-treated slices of rat cerebral cortex was inhibited by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (IC50 0.30 +/- 0.03 mM). The maximum level of inhibition was 69 +/- 2%. GABA alone caused a small stimulation of basal accumulation of [3H]IP1. The inhibitory action of GABA on the response to histamine was mimicked by the GABAB agonist (-)-baclofen, IC50 0.69 +/- 0.04 microM, which was 430-fold more potent as an inhibitor than the (+)-isomer. (-)-Baclofen also inhibited histamine-induced formation of [3H]inositol bisphosphate ([3H]IP2) and [3H] inositol trisphosphate ([3H]IP3). Inhibition curves for GABA and for (-)-and and (+)-baclofen had Hill coefficients greater than unity. (-)-Baclofen, at concentrations that caused inhibition of histamine-induced [3H]IP1 accumulation, did not alter the basal level of [3H]IP1 or the incorporation of [3H]inositol into total inositol phospholipids. Isoguvacine, a GABAA agonist, had no effect on either the histamine-stimulated or basal accumulation of [3H]IP1. GABA had no effect on carbachol-stimulated [3H]IP1 formation.

Leukotriene B4 induces formation of inositol phosphates in rat peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) induced rapid breakdown of prelabeled inositol phospholipids in rat peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Formation of [3H]inositol triphosphate ([3H]IP3) was rapid, with a peak of 250-300% of the control level, after 5-15 sec of exposure to LTB4. Accumulation of [3H]inositol bisphosphate was rapid, peaking after 30 sec of treatment. Accumulation of [3H]inositol monophosphate was also rapid in the presence of LiCl. The kinetics of [3H]IP3, [3H]inositol bisphosphate, and [3H]inositol monophosphate accumulation suggest that LTB4 may interact with receptors in PMNs and activate phospholipase C which in turn induces hydrolysis of inositol-phospholipids. The agonist activities of several LTB4 analogs were employed to investigate the structure-activity relationships of LTB4 receptor-mediated activation of phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. Increases in [3H]IP3 formation were dependent upon the concentration of LTB4 and the agonist analogs. The rank order potency of these analogs was equivalent to that of the pharmacological activity of LTB4 agonists in the PMN chemotaxis assay. Furthermore, the islet activation protein isolated from Bordetella pertussis inhibited LTB4-induced [3H]IP3 formation. The tumor-promoting phorbol myristate acetate also inhibited LTB4-induced [3H]IP3 formation. The LTB4 receptors on a partially purified PMN membrane were characterized. LTB4 binding to the receptors was stereoselective and specific. The binding affinity (Kd) of [3H] LTB4 to the receptors was 1.3 +/- 0.2 nM. The maximum density of binding was 5.5 +/- 1.8 pmol/mg of protein. The rank order potency of binding affinities of several LTB4 analogs was equivalent to that of the induction of IP3 response induced by LTB4 and analogs. These results suggest that LTB4 may interact with receptors in rat PMNs, activate G protein-regulated phospholipase C, and induce [3H]IP3 formation.

Carbachol and sodium fluoride, but not TSH, stimulate the generation of inositol phosphates in the dog thyroid.

In dog thyroid slices prelabeled with myo-[2-3H]inositol, carbachol (10(-7)-10(-4) M) and NaF (10-20 mM) stimulated IP1, IP2 and IP3 generation. These effects did not require the presence of extracellular calcium. Atropine and PDBu inhibited the action of the cholinergic agonist. No effect of TSH (1-100 mU/ml) could be detected on PIP2 hydrolysis and IP production. These results suggest that IP3 could play a role in the metabolic actions of carbachol in the thyroid; a G-protein coupling the hormone-receptor binding to phospholipase C activation exists in the thyroid membrane; the well known TSH-induced increased PI turnover does not result in IP3 accumulation.

'Quantal' Ca2+ release and the control of Ca2+ entry by inositol phosphates--a possible mechanism.

The release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores by sub-optimal doses of inositol trisphosphate has been shown to be dose-related ('quantal'), and a simple model is proposed here to account for this phenomenon. It is suggested that there is a regulatory Ca2(+)-binding site on, or associated with, the luminal domain of the InsP3 receptor, which allosterically controls Ca2+ efflux, and the affinity for Ca2+ of that site is modulated by InsP3 binding to the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor; a similar mechanism applied to the ryanodine receptor might also explain some aspects of Ca2(+)-induced Ca2+ release. The stimulated entry of Ca2+ into a cell which occurs upon activation of inositide-linked receptors has been variously and confusingly proposed to be regulated by InsP3, InsP4, and/or a 'capacitative' Ca2+ pool; the mechanism of InsP3 receptor action suggested here is shown to lead to a potential reconciliation of all these conflicting proposals.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone inhibits angiotensin II-stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells.

Rat adrenal glomerulosa cells labelled for 18 h with [3H]inositol responded to angiotensin II with a dose-dependent stimulation of the accumulation of inositol monophosphate, inositol bisphosphate and inositol trisphosphate. Addition of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (10(-7)M) reduced the maximum responses without altering the EC50 values for angiotensin II. Thus, ACTH acted as a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to angiotensin II. No inhibition was observed in cells labelled for 2 h with [3H]inositol. Detailed examination of the inhibition showed that ACTH(1-24) was the most potent inhibitor, with ACTH(1-39) being 10-fold less potent. A mixture of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) (ACTH(1-13] and corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide (ACTH(18-39] was similarly inactive. ACTH(5-24) did not produce detectable inhibition. In terms of specificity, the receptor mediating ACTH inhibition of phosphatidylinositol turnover was similar to the receptor which mediated stimulation of aldosterone synthesis. Inhibition by ACTH was additive with inhibition produced by dibutyryl cAMP demonstrating that it was not mediated by rises in intracellular cAMP. ACTH inhibition also was additive with inhibition by the calcium channel blocker, nifedipine. These results demonstrate an interaction between ACTH receptors and angiotensin II receptors in adrenal glomerulosa cells at the level of their receptor-second messenger pathways.

Chemistry and biology of deoxy-myo-inositol phosphates: stereospecificity of substrate interactions within an archaeal and a bacterial IMPase.

Six enantiomerically pure myo-inositol-monophosphates, including four deoxygenated analogues, have been synthesized by employing catalytic asymmetric phosphorylation methodology. These compounds were then evaluated as substrates for the direct interrogation of the stereospecificity of enzyme-substrate interactions with two inositol-monophosphatases (IMPases), one of which (from Archaeoglobus fulgidus) is characterized by an X-ray crystal structure with its substrate (d-I-1P) bound. The kinetic results lead to the finding that certain hydroxyl group contacts are actually destabilizing, while others have little effect. These new probes also allow a prediction of the active site binding mode of the substrate for the Escherichia coli IMPase for which no crystal structure exists.

Pathogenicity of Salmonella: SopE-mediated membrane ruffling is independent of inositol phosphate signals.

Studies [Zhou, D., Chen, L.-M., Hernandez, L., Shears, S.B., and Galán, J.E. (2001) A Salmonella inositol polyphosphatase acts in conjunction with other bacterial effectors to promote host-cell actin cytoskeleton rearrangements and bacterial internalization. Mol. Microbiol. 39, 248-259] with engineered Salmonella mutants showed that deletion of SopE attenuated the pathogen's ability to deplete host-cell InsP5 and remodel the cytoskeleton. We pursued these observations: In SopE-transfected host-cells, membrane ruffling was induced, but SopE did not dephosphorylate InsP5, nor did it recruit PTEN (a cytosolic InsP5 phosphatase) for this task. However, PTEN strengthened SopE-mediated membrane ruffling. We conclude SopE promotes host-cell InsP5 hydrolysis only with the assistance of other Salmonella proteins. Our demonstration that Salmonella-mediated cytoskeletal modifications are independent of inositolphosphates will focus future studies on elucidating alternate pathogenic consequences of InsP5 metabolism, including ion channel conductance and apoptosis.
