Pharmacology of phosphoinositides, regulators of multiple cellular functions.

Inositol phospholipids represent a small fraction of the phospholipids present in all cellular membranes with remarkable importance in regulating various cell functions. They are synthesized from phosphatidylinositol by sequential phosphorylations on the several hydroxyls of the inositol ring to create polyphosphoinositides that function either as docking sites to promote formation of molecular signaling complexes, or serve as precursors for soluble inositol polyphosphates that act as diffusible intracellular messengers. Phosphoinositides are involved in the control of many processes, including membrane traffic, endo- and exocytosis, mitogenesis and apoptosis. Pharmacological tools have helped to clarify many details of phosphoinositide metabolism and have unveiled the roles of these lipids in the control of specific signaling pathways. However, because of their pleiotropic functions it has been questionable whether pharmacological manipulation of inositide formation and metabolism can be of therapeutic value. This review briefly summarizes the means by which inositide functions have been pharmacologically manipulated, and discusses possibilities for specifically targeting certain aspects of their regulatory functions.

Activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C by transferrin in porcine cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells.

The effect of transferrin on phosphoinositide metabolism was investigated in smooth muscle cells isolated from the porcine basilar artery. Ferric iron-bound transferrin induced a rapid increase in the level of inositol phosphates, the metabolic products of phosphoinositides through the phospholipase C pathway. Neither transferrin free of ferric iron nor ferric iron alone caused the activation of phospholipase C. This study suggests that ferric iron-bound transferrin is capable of eliciting receptor-mediated signal transduction in porcine cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells, which could result in the contraction of smooth muscle cells. Transferrin may be involved with the cerebral arterial narrowing in pathological conditions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Cholecystokinin-induced alterations in beta-cell sensitivity. Duration, specificity, and involvement of phosphoinositide metabolism.

Prior exposure of isolated perifused rat islets to the sulfated gut hormone cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8S) dramatically increased their insulin secretory response to 7.5 mM glucose, 10 mM arginine, and 10 mM alpha-ketoisocaproate. In the case of glucose, the heightened secretory response was still apparent 60-80 min after CCK-8S removal from the perifusion medium. Prior exposure of perifused islets to arginine (10 mM), tolbutamide (25 microM), or forskolin (1.0 microM) did not sensitize them to 7.5 mM glucose. CCK-8S exposure increased 3H efflux from islets prelabeled with [3H]inositol, and the increase in 3H efflux was sustained after CCK-8S removal from the perifusion medium. The duration of this increase in 3H efflux paralleled the temporal characteristics of this sensitization process and was significantly attenuated by 25 microM asperlicin, a competitive antagonist of CCK binding to its membrane receptor. Arginine, tolbutamide, or forskolin treatment of islets did not increase 3H efflux from [3H]inositol-prelabeled islets. The results suggest that the turnover of membrane phosphoinositides induced by CCK-8S is largely responsible for this heightened state of secretory responsiveness to various stimulants. Second-messenger molecules generated during phosphoinositide turnover may be responsible for the phenomenon of sensitization displayed by islet tissue to CCK-8S addition.

Are disturbances of sorbitol, phosphoinositide, and Na+-K+-ATPase regulation involved in pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy?

Alterations in myo-inositol and phosphoinositide metabolism, induced by hyperglycemia and prevented by aldose reductase inhibitors, are implicated in impaired Na+-K+-ATPase regulation in peripheral nerve and other tissues prone to diabetic complications by an increasing range of scientific observations. However, the precise role of these related metabolic derangements in various stages of clinical complications is complex. For instance, it appears that these biochemical defects may play a role not only in the initiation of diabetic neuropathy but also in its later progression. Therefore, full appreciation of the potential pathogenetic role of altered phosphoinositide metabolism in diabetic complications requires detailed studies of both the earliest and the more mature stages of these disease processes.

Decreased platelet phosphoinositide turnover and enhanced platelet activation in IDDM.

Individuals with diabetes mellitus may have increased in vivo platelet activity. Abnormal platelet function could contribute to the increased incidence of vascular disease in diabetes mellitus. The biochemical mechanism(s) for platelet hyperactivation is unknown. We examined the hypothesis that platelet phosphoinositide turnover, a key signal-transducing mechanism involved in platelet activation, was abnormal in diabetic subjects. Platelets were harvested from 16 subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 19 healthy, nondiabetic control subjects of comparable age. Plasma beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TBG), a specific marker of platelet activity in vivo, was increased in IDDM (67.1 +/- 7.3 ng/ml) compared with control (41.0 +/- 6.0 ng/ml) subjects (P less than .005). [32P]orthophosphate (32Pi) incorporation into the individual phosphoinositides and phosphatidic acid (PA) reached isotopic equilibrium by 120 min for IDDM and control subjects. Specific activity (dpm 32P/micrograms phosphorus) of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was not different between IDDM and control subjects. Under these conditions, basal 32Pi incorporation into PIP2 and PIP but not phosphatidylinositol (PI) or PA was significantly lower in IDDM subjects. There was significantly decreased [32P]PIP2 and [32P]PIP hydrolysis and decreased [32P]PA formation in IDDM after platelet stimulation with 4 U/ml human thrombin. There were no differences in [32P]PI hydrolysis between the two groups. The mass of PIP2 was reduced (P less than .005) in the platelets from IDDM (0.71 +/- 0.23 nmol/10(9) platelets) compared with control (1.65 +/- 0.53 nmol/10(9) platelets) subjects. Similarly, PIP was lower (P less than .001) in IDDM (0.66 +/- 0.09 nmol/10(9) platelets) than in control (2.92 +/- 0.43 nmol/10(9) platelets) subjects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Membrane phosphoinositides control insulin secretion through their effects on ATP-sensitive K+ channel activity.

ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (K(ATP) channels) of pancreatic beta-cells play key roles in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by linking metabolic signals to cell excitability. Membrane phosphoinositides, in particular phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphates (PIP(2)), stimulate K(ATP) channels and decrease channel sensitivity to ATP inhibition; as such, they have been postulated as critical regulators of K(ATP) channels and hence of insulin secretion in beta-cells. Here, we tested this hypothesis by manipulating the interactions between K(ATP) channels and membrane phospholipids in a beta-cell line, INS-1, and assessing how the manipulations affect membrane excitability and insulin secretion. We demonstrate that disruption of channel interactions with PIP(2) by overexpressing PIP(2)-insensitive channel subunits leads to membrane depolarization and elevated basal level insulin secretion at low glucose concentrations. By contrast, facilitation of channel interactions with PIP(2) by upregulating PIP(2) levels via overexpression of a lipid kinase, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5 kinase, decreases the ATP sensitivity of endogenous K(ATP) channels by approximately 26-fold and renders INS-1 cells hyperpolarized, unable to secrete insulin properly in the face of high glucose. Our results establish an important role of the interaction between membrane phosphoinositides and K(ATP) channels in regulating insulin secretion.

Enhanced T cell proliferation in mice lacking the p85beta subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase activation is important for lymphocyte proliferation and survival. Disrupting the gene that encodes the major phosphoinositide 3-kinase regulatory isoform p85alpha impairs B cell development and proliferation. However, T cell functions are intact in the absence of p85alpha. In this study, we test the hypothesis that the related isoform p85beta is an essential regulatory subunit for T cell signaling. Unexpectedly, T cells lacking p85beta showed a marked increase in proliferation and decreased death when stimulated with anti-CD3 plus IL-2. Both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells completed more cell divisions. Transcriptional profiling revealed reduced levels of caspase-6 mRNA in p85beta-deficient T cells, which was paralleled by reduced caspase-6 enzyme activity. Increased T cell accumulation was also observed in vivo following infection of p85beta-deficient mice with mouse hepatitis virus. Together, these results suggest a unique role for p85beta in limiting T cell expansion.

Activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinases by the CCR4 ligand macrophage-derived chemokine is a dispensable signal for T lymphocyte chemotaxis.

Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC/CC chemokine ligand 22 (CCL22)) mediates its cellular effects principally by binding to its receptor CCR4, and together they constitute a multifunctional chemokine/receptor system with homeostatic and inflammatory roles in the body. We report the CCL22-induced accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P(3)) in the leukemic T cell line CEM. CCL22 also had the ability to chemoattract human Th2 cells and CEM cells in a pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. Although the PI(3,4,5)P(3) accumulation along with the pertussis toxin-susceptible phosphorylation of protein kinase B were sensitive to the two phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors, LY294002 and wortmannin, cell migration was unaffected. However, cell migration was abrogated with the Rho-dependent kinase inhibitor, Y-27632. These data demonstrate that although there is PI(3,4,5)P(3) accumulation downstream of CCR4, phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity is a dispensable signal for CCR4-stimulated chemotaxis of Th2 cells and the CEM T cell line.

Participation of the phosphoinositide metabolism in the hypersensitive response of Citrus limon against Alternaria alternata.

Lemon seedlings inoculated with Alternaria alternata develop a hypersensitive response (HR) that includes the induction of Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, E. C. 4.3.1.5) and the synthesis of scoparone. The signal transduction pathway involved in the development of this response is unknown. We used several inhibitors of the Phosphoinositide (PI) animal system to study a possible role of Inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) in the transduction of the fungal conidia signal in Citrus limon. The HR was only partially inhibited by EGTA, suggesting that not only external but internal calcium as well are necessary for a complete development of the HR. In this plant system, Alternaria alternata induced an early accumulation of the second messenger IP3. When lemon seedlings were watered long term with LiCl, an inhibitor of the phosphoinositide cycle, the IP3 production was reduced, and the LiCl-watered plants could neither induce PAL nor synthesize scoparone in response to fungal conidia. Furthermore, neomycin, a Phospholipase C (PLC, E. C. 3.1.4.3) inhibitor, also inhibited PAL induction and scoparone synthesis in response to A. alternata. These results suggest that IP3 could be involved in the signal transduction pathway for the development of the HR of Citrus limon against A. alternata.

Cytohesins and centaurins control subcellular trafficking of macromolecular signaling complexes: regulation by phosphoinositides and ADP-ribosylation factors.

The ADP-ribosylation factor family of small GTP-binding proteins are implicated in the regulation of vesicular transport and control of cytoskeletal and cell adhesion events. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase, phosphoinositide 4-P 5-kinase and phospholipase D signaling pathways are major regulators of ARF signaling cascades. Two families of ARF regulatory molecules, the cytohesin ARF-Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factors and the centaurin GTPase-Activating Proteins provide key targets for the action of these lipids signals. A critical feature of the regulation of ARF signaling is coordinated recruitment of exchange factors, ARFs and GAPs to appropriate subcellular locations. These complexes drive repetitive cycles of ARF activation and membrane association that underlie the processes of cell movement as well as endosomal uptake and intracellular redistribution of signaling molecules. Cytohesins and centaurins bind specifically to a variety of other signaling proteins and these interactions may provide routes for regulated recruitment to the sites of ARF activation. Through their ability to control endosomal trafficking/recycling of these supramolecular signaling complexes ARF and phospholipid signaling pathways may have consequences that reach as far as the regulation of gene transcription and control of cell fate.

Propofol inhibits veratrine-stimulated phosphoinositide breakdown in the rat brain.

The intravenous general anesthetic propofol was found to inhibit the phosphoinositide breakdown response to veratrine with an IC50 value of 79 microM. This inhibition was not affected by the addition of flurazepam (0.1, 1, 10 microM) to the assay. The responses to noradrenaline and carbachol were not affected by propofol. It is concluded that inhibition of veratrine-stimulated phosphoinositide breakdown can be used as a simple model system to investigate the potencies at sodium channels of general and as well as local anesthetics.

DAPP1: a dual adaptor for phosphotyrosine and 3-phosphoinositides.

We have identified a novel 280 amino acid protein which contains a putative myristoylation site at its N-terminus followed by an Src homology (SH2) domain and a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain at its C-terminus. It has been termed dual adaptor for phosphotyrosine and 3-phosphoinositides (DAPP1). DAPP1 is widely expressed and exhibits high-affinity interactions with PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and PtdIns(3,4)P(2), but not with other phospholipids tested. These observations predict that DAPP1 will interact with both tyrosine phosphorylated proteins and 3-phosphoinositides and may therefore play a role in regulating the location and/or activity of such proteins(s) in response to agonists that elevate PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and PtdIns(3,4)P(2).

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase forms a complex with platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib-IX-V complex and 14-3-3zeta.

The binding of von Willebrand factor (vWF) to glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V stimulates transmembrane signaling events that lead to platelet adhesion and aggregation. Recent studies have revealed that the signaling protein 14-3-3 zeta binds directly to the cytoplasmic domain of GP Ib alpha. In this study, the dynamic association of 14-3-3 zeta with GP Ib-IX, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), or both, was investigated in resting, thrombin, or vWF and botrocetin-stimulated platelets by analysis of discrete subcellular fractions. Results of this study demonstrate maximal coimmunoprecipitation of 14-3-3 zeta with GP Ib-IX in the nonstimulated cytosolic fraction and in the actin cytoskeletal fraction of thrombin- or vWF-stimulated human platelets. Immunoprecipitated 14-3-3 zeta or GP Ib from cytosolic fractions contained PI 3-kinase enzyme activity and an 85-kd polypeptide recognized by antibodies to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase. After platelet activation, the level of association between these species decreased in the cytosolic fraction. However, increased complex formation between 14-3-3 zeta and GP Ib-IX and between PI 3-kinase and GP Ib-IX was detected in actin cytoskeletal fractions derived from thrombin- or vWF-stimulated platelets. Recombinant glutathione S-transferase-14-3-3 zeta fusion protein (14-3-3 zeta-GST) inhibited affinity-captured PI 3-kinase enzyme activity up to 70% at 2 mcmol/L 14-3-3 zeta-GST. However, increasing concentrations up to 5 mcmol/L 14-3-3 zeta-GST resulted in the 3-fold enhancement of PI 3-kinase enzyme activity. We propose that the association between PI 3-kinase and 14-3-3 zeta with GP Ib-IX serves to promote the rapid translocation of these signaling proteins to the activated cytoskeleton, thereby regulating the formation of 3-position phosphoinositide-signaling molecules in this subcellular compartment.

Substrates of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase co-operate with vanadate to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin-receptor-substrate proteins, phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity and GLUT4 translocation in adipose cells.

It has been shown that the combination of benzylamine or tyramine and low concentrations of vanadate markedly stimulates glucose transport in rat adipocytes by a mechanism that requires semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity and H(2)O(2) formation. Here we have further analysed the insulin-like effects of the combination of SSAO substrates and vanadate and we have studied the signal-transduction pathway activated in rat adipocytes. We found that several SSAO substrates (benzylamine, tyramine, methylamine, n-decylamine, histamine, tryptamine or beta-phenylethylamine), in combination with low concentrations of vanadate, stimulate glucose transport in isolated rat adipocytes. Furthermore, SSAO substrates together with vanadate stimulated the recruitment of GLUT4 to the cell surface in isolated rat adipocytes. Benzylamine plus vanadate also stimulated glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Benzylamine or tyramine in combination with vanadate potently stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of both insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and IRS-3. In contrast, benzylamine and vanadate caused only a weak stimulation of insulin receptor kinase. Benzylamine or tyramine in combination with vanadate also stimulated phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity; wortmannin abolished the stimulatory effect of benzylamine and vanadate on glucose transport in adipose cells. Furthermore, the administration of benzylamine and vanadate in vivo caused a rapid lowering of plasma glucose levels, which took place in the absence of alterations in plasma insulin. On the basis of these results we propose that SSAO activity regulates glucose transport in adipocytes. SSAO oxidative activity stimulates glucose transport via the translocation of GLUT4 carriers to the cell surface, resulting from a potent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and IRS-3 and phosphoinositide 3-kinase activation. Our results also indicate that substrates of SSAO might regulate glucose disposal in vivo.

Enhancement by sphingosine 1-phosphate in vasopressin-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis in aortic smooth-muscle cells: involvement of p38 MAP kinase.

We previously reported that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S-1-P), a sphingomyelin metabolite, activates p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and p38 MAP kinase in aortic smooth-muscle A10 cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of sphingomyelin metabolites on phospholipase C-catalyzing phosphoinositide hydrolysis induced by arginine vasopressin (AVP) in A10 cells. C(2)-ceramide and sphingosine had little effect on inositol phosphate (IP) formation stimulated by AVP. S-1-P, which alone slightly stimulated the IPs formation, dose-dependently amplified the AVP-induced formation of IPs. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha enhanced the AVP-induced formation of IPs. However, S-1-P did not enhance the formation of IPs by NaF, a heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein activator. Pertussis toxin inhibited the effect of S-1-P. PD98059, an inhibitor of the upstream kinase that activates p44/p42 MAP kinase, had little effect on the enhancement by S-1-P. SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, suppressed the effect of S-1-P on the formation of IPs by AVP. SB203580 inhibited the AVP-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase. Pertussis toxin suppressed the phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase by S-1-P. These results indicate that S-1-P amplifies AVP-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis by phospholipase C through p38 MAP kinase in vascular smooth-muscle cells.

Cadmium accumulation augments contraction and phosphoinositide hydrolysis of vascular smooth muscles.

Effects of cadmium accumulation in blood vessels on vasoconstriction and hydrolysis of phosphoinositides were investigated using aortas isolated from rats. The aortic strips were incubated with cadmium chloride (10 microM) for 24 hr and then washed out (cadmium accumulation). In the cadmium-accumulated aortas, contractile responses to KCl and 5-hydroxytryptamine were augmented compared to the control incubated with a vehicle. The degree of the augmentation by cadmium was higher in 5-hydroxytryptamine contraction than in KCl contraction. The level of 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced contraction relative to KCl-induced contraction (expressed as percent of maximum KCl contraction in each strip) was also significantly increased in the cadmium-accumulated aortas as compared to the control. Cadmium pretreatment augmented 5-hydroxytryptamine-stimulated inositol monophosphate accumulation, while there was no difference in the basal level of inositol monophosphate between the cadmium-accumulated aortas and the control. These results suggest that cadmium accumulation increases vasocontractility, in part because of the facilitation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis.

Insulin-like growth factor receptor I mediates resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy in primary human glioblastoma cells through continued activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling.

Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been shown previously to correlate with enhanced malignant potential of many human tumor types, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Anti-EGFR targeting has been demonstrated to enhance apoptosis and reduce both cellular invasion and angiogenic potential. It remains unclear whether absolute EGFR expression levels are sufficient to predict which tumors will respond best to anti-EGFR therapy. We have identified two primary GBM cell lines with equivalent EGFR expression levels with very different sensitivities to the EGFR receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, AG1478. This was apparent despite similar reductions in EGFR signaling in both cell lines, as measured by phospho-EGFR levels. AG1478 enhanced both spontaneous and radiation-induced apoptosis and reduced invasive potential in the GBM(S), but not in the GBM(R), cell line. The resistant GBM(R) cell line demonstrated an up-regulation of insulin-like growth factor receptor I (IGFR-I) levels on AG1478 administration. This resulted in sustained signaling through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway, resulting in potent antiapoptotic and proinvasion effects. Cotargeting IGFR-I with EGFR greatly enhanced both spontaneous and radiation-induced apoptosis of the GBM(R) cells and reduced their invasive potential. Akt1 and p70(s6k) appeared to be important downstream targets of IGFR-I-mediated resistance to anti-EGFR targeting. These findings suggest that IGFR-I signaling through phosphoinositide 3-kinase may represent a novel and potentially important mechanism of resistance to anti-EGFR therapy.

Effects of histamine on phosphoinositide metabolism in chick cerebral cortex.

Effects of histamine (HA) and agonists of HA receptors on phosphoinositide metabolism in chick cerebral cortex have been studied using two approaches - measurement of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) level by a specific and sensitive IP3 receptor radioassay, and analysis of [3H]inositol phosphates accumulation in cortical slices prelabeled with myo-[3H]inositol. HA concentration-dependently elevated IP3 levels in slices of chick cerebral cortex. The effect of HA was mimicked by 2-methylHA, a selective agonist of H1-HA receptors, and blocked by mepyramine, an H1 receptor antagonist. 4-MethylHA and Ralpha-methylHA, selective agonists of H2- and H3-HA receptors, respectively, did not affect IP3 level in the chick cerebrum. In cerebral cortical slices prelabeled with myo-[3H]inositol, 2-methylHA significantly stimulated [3H]inositol phosphates accumulation, whereas HA only slightly and non-significantly increased phosphoinositide metabolism. It is suggested that phospholipase C-coupled H1-HA receptors are present in the chick cerebral cortex, yet their number seems to be a small one.
