Quantal Ca 2+ release mediated by very few IP 3 receptors that rapidly inactivate allows graded responses to IP 3. Cell Rep 2021; 37:109932. [PMID: 34731613 PMCID: PMC8578705 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are intracellular Ca2+ channels that link extracellular stimuli to Ca2+ signals. Ca2+ release from intracellular stores is "quantal": low IP3 concentrations rapidly release a fraction of the stores. Ca2+ release then slows or terminates without compromising responses to further IP3 additions. The mechanisms are unresolved. Here, we synthesize a high-affinity partial agonist of IP3Rs and use it to demonstrate that quantal responses do not require heterogenous Ca2+ stores. IP3Rs respond incrementally to IP3 and close after the initial response to low IP3 concentrations. Comparing functional responses with IP3 binding shows that only a tiny fraction of a cell's IP3Rs mediate incremental Ca2+ release; inactivation does not therefore affect most IP3Rs. We conclude, and test by simulations, that Ca2+ signals evoked by IP3 pulses arise from rapid activation and then inactivation of very few IP3Rs. This allows IP3Rs to behave as increment detectors mediating graded Ca2+ release.

Abstract
Ins(1,4,5)P(3) is a classical intracellular messenger: stimulus-dependent changes in its levels elicits biological effects through its release of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. The Ins(1,4,5)P(3) response is "switched off" by its metabolism to a range of additional inositol phosphates. These metabolites have themselves come to be collectively described as a signaling "family". The validity of that latter definition is critically examined in this review. That is, we assess the strength of the hypothesis that Ins(1,4,5)P(3) metabolites are themselves "classical" signals. Put another way, what is the evidence that the biological function of a particular inositol phosphate depends upon stimulus dependent changes in its levels? In this assessment, examples of an inositol phosphate acting as a cofactor (i.e. its function is not stimulus-dependent) do not satisfy our signaling criteria. We conclude that Ins(3,4,5,6)P(4) is, to date, the only Ins(1,4,5)P(3) metabolite that has been validated to act as a second messenger.

Abstract
Drought and salt stresses are major limiting factors for crop production. To identify critical genes for stress resistance in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we screened T-DNA mutants and identified a drought- and salt-hypersensitive mutant dsm3. The mutant phenotype was caused by a T-DNA insertion in a gene encoding a putative inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate 5/6-kinase previously named OsITPK2 with unknown function. Under drought stress conditions, the mutant had significantly less accumulation of osmolytes such as proline and soluble sugar and showed significantly reduced root volume, spikelet fertility, biomass, and grain yield; however, malondialdehyde level was increased in the mutant. Interestingly, overexpression of DSM3 (OsITPK2) in rice resulted in drought- and salt-hypersensitive phenotypes and physiological changes similar to those in the mutant. Inositol trisphosphate (IP3) level was decreased in the overexpressors under normal condition and drought stress. A few genes related to osmotic adjustment and reactive oxygen species scavenging were down-regulated in the mutant and overexpression lines. The expression level of DSM3 promoter-driven β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in rice was induced by drought, salt and abscisic acid. Protoplast transient expression assay indicated that DSM3 is an endoplasmic reticulum protein. Sequence analysis revealed six putative ITPKs in rice. Transcript level analysis of OsITPK genes revealed that they had different tempo-spatial expression patterns, and the responses of DSM3 to abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, cold, and high temperature, were distinct from the other five members in rice. These results together suggest that DSM3/OsITPK2 is an important member of the OsITPK family for stress responses, and an optimal expression level is essential for drought and salt tolerance in rice.

Abstract
Dopamine D(1)-like receptors consisting of D(1) and D(5) subtypes are intimately implicated in dopaminergic regulation of fundamental neurophysiologic processes such as mood, motivation, cognitive function, and motor activity. Upon stimulation, D(1)-like receptors initiate signal transduction cascades that are mediated through adenylyl cyclase or phosphoinositide metabolism, with subsequent enhancement of multiple downstream kinase cascades. The latter actions propagate and further amplify the receptor signals, thus predisposing D(1)-like receptors to multifaceted interactions with various other mediators and receptor systems. The adenylyl cyclase response to dopamine or selective D(1)-like receptor agonists is reliably associated with the D(1) subtype, while emerging evidence indicates that the phosphoinositide responses in native brain tissues may be preferentially mediated through stimulation of the D(5) receptor. Besides classic coupling of each receptor subtype to specific G proteins, additional biophysical models are advanced in attempts to account for differential subcellular distribution, heteromolecular oligomerization, and activity-dependent selectivity of the receptors. It is expected that significant advances in understanding of dopamine neurobiology will emerge from current and anticipated studies directed at uncovering the molecular mechanisms of D(5) coupling to phosphoinositide signaling, the structural features that might enhance pharmacological selectivity for D(5) versus D(1) subtypes, the mechanism by which dopamine may modulate phosphoinositide synthesis, the contributions of the various responsive signal mediators to D(1) or D(5) interactions with D(2)-like receptors, and the spectrum of dopaminergic functions that may be attributed to each receptor subtype and signaling pathway.

Abstract
Inositol polyphosphate kinases play important roles in diverse cellular processes. In this study, the function of an inositol polyphosphate kinase gene homolog named ThIPK2 from a dicotyledonous halophyte Thellungiella halophila was investigated. The deduced translation product (ThIPK2) shares 85% identity with the Arabidopsis inositol polyphosphate kinase AtIPK2beta. Transient expression of ThIPK2-YFP fusion protein in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) protoplasts indicates that the protein is localized to the nucleus and plasma membrane, with a minor localization to the cytosol. Heterologous expression of ThIPK2 in ipk2Delta (also known as arg82Delta), a yeast mutant strain that lacks inositol polyphosphate multikinase (Ipk2) activity, rescued the mutant's salt-, osmotic- and temperature-sensitive growth defects. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed ubiquitous expression of ThIPK2 in various tissues, including roots, rosette leaves, cauline leaves, stem, flowers and siliques, and shoot ThIPK2 transcript was strongly induced by NaCl or mannitol in T. halophila as exhibited by real-time PCR analysis. Transgenic expression of ThIPK2 in Brassica napus led to significantly improved salt-, dehydration- and oxidative stress resistance. Furthermore, the transcripts of various stress responsive marker genes increased in ThIPK2 transgenic plants under salt stress condition. These results suggest that ThIPK2 is involved in plant stress responses, and for the first time demonstrate that ThIPK2 could be a useful candidate gene for improving drought and salt tolerance in important crop plants by genetic transformation.

Abstract
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and their turnover products have been implicated to play important roles in stress signaling in eukaryotic cells. In higher plants genes encoding inositol polyphosphate kinases have been identified previously, but their physiological functions have not been fully resolved. Here we expressed Arabidopsis inositol polyphosphate 6-/3-kinase (AtIpk2beta) in two heterologous systems, i.e. the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and tested the effect on abiotic stress tolerance. Expression of AtIpk2beta rescued the salt-, osmotic- and temperature-sensitive growth defects of a yeast mutant strain (arg82Delta) that lacks inositol polyphosphate multikinase activity encoded by the ARG82/IPK2 gene. Transgenic tobacco plants constitutively expressing AtIpk2beta under the control of the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S promoter were generated and found to exhibit improved tolerance to diverse abiotic stresses when compared to wild type plants. Expression patterns of various stress responsive genes were enhanced, and the activities of anti-oxidative enzymes were elevated in transgenic plants, suggesting a possible involvement of AtIpk2beta in plant stress responses.

Abstract
The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) inositol polyphosphate 6-/3-kinase gene (AtIpk2beta) is known to participate in inositol phosphate metabolism. However, little is known about its physiological functions in higher plants. Here, we report that AtIpk2beta regulates Arabidopsis axillary shoot branching. By overexpressing AtIpk2beta in the wild type and mutants, we found that overexpression of AtIpk2beta leads to more axillary shoot branches. Further analysis of AtIpk2beta overexpression lines showed that axillary meristem forms earlier and the bud outgrowth rate is also accelerated, resulting in more axillary shoot branches. The AtIpk2beta promoter/beta-glucuronidase (GUS) fusion (AtIpk2betaGUS) expression pattern is similar to that of the auxin reporter DR5GUS. Moreover, AtIpk2beta can be induced in response to exogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) treatments. In addition, AtIpk2beta overexpression plants exhibit IAA-related phenotypes and are more resistant to exogenous IAA treatments. Further analysis employing reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction shows that some genes, including auxin-biosynthesis (CYP83B1), auxin-transport (PIN4), and auxin-mediated branching genes (MAX4 and SPS), are regulated by AtIpk2beta. Taken together, our data provide insights into a role for AtIpk2beta in axillary shoot branching through the auxin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Inositol polyphosphates, such as inositol trisphosphate, are pivotal intracellular signaling molecules in eukaryotic cells. In higher plants the mechanism for the regulation of the type and the level of these signaling molecules is poorly understood. In this study we investigate the physiological function of an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) gene encoding inositol polyphosphate kinase (AtIPK2alpha), which phosphorylates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate successively at the D-6 and D-3 positions, and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate at D-6, resulting in the generation of inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate. Semiquantitative reverse transcription-PCR and promoter-beta-glucuronidase reporter gene analyses showed that AtIPK2alpha is expressed in various tissues, including roots and root hairs, stem, leaf, pollen grains, pollen tubes, the flower stigma, and siliques. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing the AtIPK2alpha antisense gene under its own promoter were generated. Analysis of several independent transformants exhibiting strong reduction in AtIPK2alpha transcript levels showed that both pollen germination and pollen tube growth were enhanced in the antisense lines compared to wild-type plants, especially in the presence of nonoptimal low Ca(2+) concentrations in the culture medium. Furthermore, root growth and root hair development were also stimulated in the antisense lines, in the presence of elevated external Ca(2+) concentration or upon the addition of EGTA. In addition, seed germination and early seedling growth was stimulated in the antisense lines. These observations suggest a general and important role of AtIPK2alpha, and hence inositol polyphosphate metabolism, in the regulation of plant growth most likely through the regulation of calcium signaling, consistent with the well-known function of inositol trisphosphate in the mobilization of intracellular calcium stores.

Abstract
The development of two novel ring conversions of sugar derivatives is described. The first is an efficient conversion of 5-enopyranosides and 6-O-acetyl-5-enopyranosides to the corresponding substituted cyclohexanones mediated by a catalytic amount of palladium dichloride. After a survey of various substrates, the reaction was confirmed to be general and useful. Syntheses of bioactive compounds utilizing this method were therefore investigated. Cyclophellitol, which is a potent beta-glucoidase inhibitor, and its diastereoisomer were efficiently synthesized. Furthermore, novel synthesis of all enantiomerically pure diastereoisomers of inositol starting with 6-O-acetyl-5-enopyranosides was investigated. Good accessibility of these enantiomerically pure inositol diastereoisomers results in the efficient syntheses of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. The second investigation involved novel and efficient conversion of D-glycono-1,5-lactones into the corresponding L-sugars. The important intermediate, delta-hydroxyalkoxamate, was provided by a practical alkoxyamination of D-glycono-1,5-lactones mediated by Me3Al. In contrast to the preparation of beta-lactam skeletons from beta-hydroxyalkoxamates, the cyclization of delta-hydroxyalkoxamates under Mitsunobu conditions resulted in O-alkylation rather than N-alkylation. It is noteworthy that delta-hydroxyalkoxamates derived from D-mannono-1,5-lactones afforded the O-alkylation product in 91% yield. No N-alkylation product was detected in this case. These O-cyclized oximes, in which the inversion of the configuration at C5 was secured, were efficiently converted into L-sugars.

Abstract
Elementary Ca2+ puffs form the basic building blocks of global Ins(1, 4,5)P3-evoked Ca2+ signals. In Xenopus oocytes, Ca2+ puffs evoked by the high-affinity agonist adenophostin were shorter and smaller than puffs evoked by Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the lower affinity analogue Ins(2,4, 5)P3. Agonist-specific mechanisms, therefore, play a role in shaping local Ca2+ release events, but termination of Ca2+ flux is not delimited simply by agonist dissociation.

Abstract
Myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is a major integral membrane protein of central nervous system myelin and is considered to play a significant role in myelination. PLP has a four-transmembrane structure, judging from the hydropathy profile. In addition, it has InsP6 binding activity. Here, we have succeeded in producing PLP in large quantities of 3.9 pg/cell (6 mg/L) by using a baculovirus expression system and developing an efficient purification method, maintaining InsP6 binding activity. The recombinant PLP (rPLP) was purified by ion-exchange and immunoaffinity chromatography in a nonorganic solvent. The final yield of purified rPLP was 36%. The Kd and Bmax values for the InsP6-PLP binding were 55 nM and 33 pmol/microgram protein, respectively. The Kd value of purified rPLP is equal to that of mouse brain PLP. These results indicate that purified rPLP keeps its native conformation and binds InsP6 in an almost one-to-one ratio.

Abstract
A series of key amino acids involved in Ins(1,4,5)P3 (InsP3) binding and catalytic activity of rat brain InsP3 3-kinase has been identified. The catalytic domain is at the C-terminal end and restricted to a maximum of 275 amino acids [Takazawa and Erneux (1991) Biochem. J. 280, 125-129]. In this study, newly prepared 5'-deletion and site-directed mutants have been compared both for InsP3 binding and InsP3 3-kinase activity. When the protein was expressed from L259 to R459, the activity was lost but InsP3 binding was conserved. Another deletion mutant that had lost only four amino acids after L259 had lost InsP3 binding, and this finding suggests that these residues (i.e. L259DCK262) are involved in InsP3 binding. To further support the data, we have produced two mutants by site-directed mutagenesis on residues C261 and K262. The two new enzymes were designated M4 (C261S) and M5 (K262A). M4 showed similar Vmax and Km values for InsP3 and ATP to wild-type enzyme. In contrast, M5 was totally inactive but had kept the ability to bind to calmodulin-Sepharose. C-terminal deletion mutants that had lost five, seven or nine amino acids showed a large decrease in InsP3 binding and InsP3 3-kinase activity. One mutant that had lost five amino acids (M2) was purified to apparent homogeneity: Km values for both substrates appeared unchanged but Vmax was decreased approx. 40-fold compared with the wild-type enzyme. The results indicate that (1) a positively charged amino acid residue K262 is essential for InsP3 binding and (2) amino acids at the C-terminal end of the protein are necessary to act as a catalyst in the InsP3 3-kinase reaction.

The mRNA and protein expression of a 42-kDa inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate receptor (InsP4R) was investigated in cryostat and paraffin sections from rat, porcine and bovine retina. InsP4R mRNA was localized by in situ hybridization in the ganglion cell layer, the inner nuclear cell layer and the outermost part of the outer nuclear cell layer. For immunocytochemistry, we used an antibody raised against a 19-amino-acid peptide (peptide-3) derived from previous microsequencing of proteolytic fragments of the porcine InsP4R (Stricker et al., FEBS Lett., 370 (1995) 236). The distribution of immunoreactivity was similar in all species investigated. Two cell types, most likely wide-field amacrine and retinal ganglion cells, were intensely stained. Prominent immunoreactivity in the on/off sublaminae of the inner plexiform layer and in the optic nerve layer indicates a pre- and/or post-synaptic localization of the protein. Moreover, significant InsP4R protein expression in the inner segment of photoreceptors points to a putative role of the second messenger InsP4 in signaling processes related to phototransduction. However, also the endfeet of Müller glia cells in the optic nerve layer were intensely stained. Optic nerve crush caused only minor changes in retinal InsP4R mRNA levels whereas InsP4R immunoreactivity was attenuated for more than 4 weeks in the photoreceptor inner segments, wide-field amacrine cells, and in retinal ganglion cells. The immunopositive sublaminae of the inner plexiform layer appeared to have shrunken. However, the signal intensity gradually recovered after 10 weeks. Since in parallel sections stained with a monoclonal antibody directed against the vesicular protein synaptophysin no changes were found, the alterations in InsP4R immunoreactivity induced by nerve injury are not due to a general decline in the expression of pre-synaptic proteins. We, therefore, hypothesize that the InsP4R might be linked to altered intracellular Ca2+ signaling after neuronal injury.

Abstract
Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) control the mobilization of energy reserves from the insect fat body as fuels for flight activity. As a part of our investigations on AKH signal transduction, we demonstrate in this study that the inositol lipid cycle may be involved in the action of AKH-I on fat body of the migratory locust. We show that [3H]inositol is incorporated into fat body phosphoinositides in vitro, whose hydrolysis leads to the formation of the following inositol phosphates (InsPs): Ins(1 and/or 3)P, Ins(4)P, Ins(1,3)P2, Ins(1,4)P2, Ins(3,4)P3, Ins(1,3,4)P3, Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. AKH stimulates the formation of these isomers, eliciting an increase in radioactivity of total InsPs already after 1 min. Mass measurements show that Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels are substantially enhanced by AKH, which is indicative of hormonal activation of phospholipase C. In cell-free tissue preparations, Ins(1,4,5)P3 is metabolized through dephosphorylation as well as further phosphorylation. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 is dephosphorylated primarily to Ins(1,3,4)P3, although the ability for its reconversion to Ins(1,4,5)P3 suggests that in vivo Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 may function as a rapidly mobilizable pool for Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation. Metabolic pathways for the conversion of InsPs to inositol in the locust fat body are proposed.

Abstract
Gap1(IP4BP), one of a member of Ras GTPase-activating proteins, has been identified as a specific inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4)-binding protein (Cullen, P. J., Hsuan, J. J., Truong, O., Letcher, A. J., Jackson, T. R., Dawson, A. P., and Irvine, R. F. (1995) Nature 386, 527-530). In this paper we describe Gap1(m), which is closely related to Gap1(IP4BP), to also be an IP4-binding protein and show that the pleckstrin homology domain (PH) is the central IP4-binding domain by expressing fragments of the mouse Gap1(m) in Escherichia coli as fusion proteins and examining their activities. However, in addition to the PH domain, an adjacent GAP-related domain and carboxyl terminus are required for high affinity specific IP4 binding. The PH domain is highly conserved in the Gap1 family and also has striking homology to the amino-terminal region of Bruton's tyrosine kinase. Substitution of Cys for Arg at position 628 in the PH domain corresponding to the mutation of Bruton's tyrosine kinase observed in X-linked immunodeficiency mice results in a dramatic reduction of IP4 binding activity as well as phospholipid binding capacity of Gap1(m). This mutant also showed the GAP activity against Ha-Ras to be similar to that of the wild type Gap1(m). Our results suggest that the PH domain of Gap1(m) functions as a modulatory domain of GAP activity by binding IP4 and phospholipids.

Abstract
A low-density membrane fraction from human platelets contained the plasma membrane marker glycoprotein Ib (GpIb) and selective binding sites for InsP4 and InsP6. It was separated from the bulk of InsP3-receptor-containing membranes, but was heterogeneous, probably also containing surface-connected canalicular system and some lighter elements of the internal dense tubule system. After loading with calcium oxalate and re-centrifugation on Percoll gradients, this mixed fraction was subfractionated into light membranes containing all of the GpIb, high-affinity InsP4 binding sites (KD = 18 nM) and phosphate-stimulated Ca2+ transport activity. InsP4 (EC50 0.6 microM), but not InsP3 or InsP6, released up to 35% of the accumulated Ca2+ from these vesicles, which were shown to be inside-out plasma membrane vesicles by a biotinylation labelling technique and selective removal of right-side-out plasma membrane vesicles with streptavidin-agarose. Most of the InsP4, and all of the InsP6, binding was present in the much denser calcium oxalate-loaded subfractions, which were free of GpIb. InsP6 binding activity was chromatographically purified as a 116 kDa protein (KD for InsP6 = 5.9 nM), with an amino acid content and two internal peptide sequences identical to those of 116 kDa vinculin. A 104 kDa InsP4 binding protein (KD for InsP4 = 12 nM), probably identical to GAP1IP4BP described by Cullen, Hsuan, Truong, Letcher, Jackson, Dawson and Irvine [(1995) Nature (London) 376, 527-530], was also isolated. This InsP4 receptor may mediate Ca2+ influx in platelets that occurs subsequent to receptor-stimulated production of InsP3 and unloading of internal Ca2+ stores.

Abstract
The effects of a long-lasting stimulation with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) have been studied in monolayers of permeabilized A7r5 cells. When measured under unidirectional 45Ca2+ efflux conditions, i.e. in the presence of 2 microM thapsigargin, an initial fast release was observed which then progressively slowed down into a slow phase which persisted for up to 20 min. When measured under bidirectional 45Ca2+ flux conditions with functional Ca2+ pumps, a transient phase of re-uptake occurred between the initial fast and the subsequent slow release phase. These kinetics are compatible with intrinsic inactivation of the InsP3 receptor. However, this inactivation did not prevent the slow release component. The slow component was not due to the accumulation of an InsP3 metabolite nor to a GTP-dependent translocation of Ca2+ between stores. The slow release phase was more pronounced when the Ca2+ pumps were active than when they were inhibited. This observation is compatible with other findings indicating that the InsP3 receptor is controlled by luminal Ca2+. The decreasing effectiveness of a 20 min lasting InsP3 challenge in mobilizing Ca2+ from less filled stores is most likely due to a progressive depletion of the store and cannot be considered as an experimental artifact caused by a preferential emptying of InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores. We conclude that the InsP3 receptor can intrinsically inactivate but that this inactivation is unable to prevent the slow release, which is especially pronounced when Ca2+ pumps are active.

Abstract
It has been previously reported that parathyroid cells express endothelin (ET) receptors and secrete ET-1 in an extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]e)-dependent manner. Here, we examined the effects of ET-1 on intracellular signaling and parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion in dispersed bovine parathyroid (bPT) cells, which comprise several cell types including epithelial and endothelial cells, in two cell lines, the rat parathyroid epithelial (PT-r) and the bovine parathyroid endothelial (BPE-1) cells. An RNA-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that both ETA and ETB receptors are expressed in bovine parathyroid tissue and BPE-1 cells, and only the ETA receptor is expressed in PT-r cells. PT-r cells also expressed an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins[1,4,5]P3) receptor, and ionomycin induced an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in a Ca(2+)-deficient medium, indicating the presence of an operative intracellular Ca2+ pool in these cells. In cells bathed in 1 mM [Ca2+]e, ET-1 induced a rapid and transient increase in the Ins(1,4,5)P3 production, which was associated with a similar profile of increase in [Ca2+]i and with a peak response of about 800 nM. No changes in the profile of [Ca2+]i responses were observed in ET-1-stimulated cells in the presence of Ca2+ channel blockers, or in Ca(2+)-deficient medium, indicating that Ca2+ mobilization was not associated with Ca2+ entry. Furthermore, a sustained stimulation with ET-1 induced a decrease in [Ca2+]i below the prestimulatory level in a large population of cells, and the percentage of the cell population that shows the sustained decrease of [Ca2+]i increased in higher ET-1 concentrations. [Ca2+]i in PT-r cells was also controlled by a [Ca2+]e-dependent mechanism that changed [Ca2+]i from 28 to 506 nM in a 0.1-3 mM concentration range with an EC50 of 1.2 mM, which is comparable to that reported for bPT cells. In the same range of [Ca2+]e, PTH secretion from bPT cells was inhibited with an IC50 of 1 mM, and ET-1 increased PTH release in a dose-dependent manner but without affecting the IC50 for the [Ca2+]e-dependent inhibition. Thus, the parathyroid epithelial cells appear to respond to ET-1 in a unique way, and the ET autocrine system can be regarded as a possible mechanism to modulate the sensitivity of [Ca2+]e-dependent PTH release.

Abstract
The synergistic action of cytosolic Ca2+ and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) in releasing intracellular Ca2+ stores has been suggested to be responsible for the complex intracellular Ca2 signals observed during hormonal stimulation of many cell types. However, the ability of cytosolic Ca2+ to potentiate Ca2+ release has recently been questioned because of the observed inhibitory effects of Ca2+ chelators used in previous studies. In the present study, EGTA and BAPTA [1,2-bis-(2-amino-phenoxy)ethane- NNN'N'-tetra-acetic acid] poorly inhibited InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from permeabilized A7r5 smooth-muscle cells. Additionally, stimulatory effects of cytosolic and luminal Ca2+ were observed either in the complete absence of Ca2+ chelator or at constant Ca(2+)-free chelator concentration. These data suggest that potentiation of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release by Ca2+ in A7r5 cells reflects an interaction between Ca2+ and InsP3 receptors, rather than a decrease in chelator-dependent inhibition. The EC50 for activation of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release by cytosolic Ca2+ was unaffected by ATP, or by changing InsP3 concentration, although InsP3-induced Ca2+ release became less sensitive to the inhibitory effects of cytosolic Ca2+ as the InsP3 concentration was elevated. Increasing H+ or Mg2+ concentration shifted the Ca(2+)-activation curve towards higher Ca2+ concentrations. These data suggest that, in addition to the InsP3-binding site, the affinity of the Ca(2+)-binding site(s) on InsP3 receptors can be modulated by intracellular cations.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 (InsP3) to Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 (InsP4) is catalysed by InsP3 3-kinase. Molecular-biological data have shown the presence of two human isoenzymes of InsP3 3-kinase, namely InsP3 3-kinases A and B. We have isolated from a rat thymus cDNA library a 2235 bp cDNA (clone B15) encoding rat InsP3 3-kinase B. Northern-blot analysis of mRNA isolated from rat tissues (thymus, testis, brain, spleen, liver, kidney, heart, lung and intestine) revealed that a rat InsP3 3-kinase B probe hybridized to a 6 kb mRNA in lung, thymus, testis, brain and heart. In contrast, Northern-blot analysis of the same tissues probed under stringent conditions with a rat InsP3 3-kinase A probe hybridized to a 2 kb mRNA only in brain and a 1.8-2.0 kb mRNA species in testis. Northern-blot analysis of three human cell lines (HL-60, SH-SY5Y and HTB-138) probed with a human InsP3 3-kinase B probe showed the presence of a 6 kb mRNA in all cell lines, except in the human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y), where two mRNA species of 5.7 and 6 kb were detected. Using the same blot, no hybridization signal could be seen with a human InsP3 3-kinase A probe. Altogether, our data are consistent with the notion that the two InsP3 3-kinase isoenzymes, A and B, are specifically expressed in different tissues and cells.

Abstract
To identify the Ca2+ influx pathway responsible for maintaining Ca2+ oscillations in hamster eggs, changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were recorded using the Fura-2 fluorescent imaging technique during iontophoretic injection of inositol phosphates under voltage clamp. Both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4) caused repetitive Ca2+ transients when injected continuously into eggs, although the latter was much less effective. These Ca2+ transients were inhibited by the monoclonal antibody 18A10 to the InsP3 receptor/Ca2+ channel. In Ca(2+)-free medium, InsP4-induced Ca2+ transients were absent or much less frequent than in normal medium. A small but persistent increase in [Ca2+]i during InsP4 injection was revealed when Ca2+ uptake into InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores was suppressed by thapsigargin. This Ca2+ rise is due to Ca2+ entry, but not Ca2+ release, because it was: (i) increased by raising the extracellular Ca2+ concentration and abolished in Ca(2+)-free medium; (ii) larger at more negative membrane potentials which provide greater electrical driving force for Ca2+ entry; and (iii) not affected by 18A10. A moderate dose of InsP3 did not cause substantial Ca2+ entry, as tested in thapsigargin- and 18A10-treated eggs. InsP4 facilitated the restoration of Ca2+ stores after Ca2+ releases induced by pulsatile InsP3 injections. Thus, we obtained evidence for a Ca2+ influx pathway activated by InsP4 which provides Ca2+ to refill InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores in intact cells.

Abstract
A series of 32P-labeled D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4] analogues was enzymically prepared from the corresponding D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] analogues using recombinant rat brain Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. Ins(1,4,5)P3 analogues with bulky groups at the 2-OH position, substitutions of phosphates by thiophosphates and D-6-deoxy-myo-Ins(1,4,5)P3 were tested. Using [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 and ATP gamma S, a [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 analogue with a thiophosphate at the D-3 position was prepared. The D-4 and/or D-5 phosphate group seemed to be important for 3-kinase activity, while the OH group at position 6 was not crucial. The addition of bulky groups at the 2-OH position did not prevent phosphorylation. The labeled Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 analogues were purified and their degradation by type-I Ins(1,4,5)P3/Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 5-phosphatase was compared with the degradation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Substitution of the phosphate group at positions 1 or 3 by a thiophosphate, or the addition of bulky groups at the 2-OH position did not prevent degradation. D-6-Deoxy-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate could not be degraded by the 5-phosphatase, indicating the importance of the 6-OH group for 5-phosphatase action. D-6-Deoxy-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate could be an important tool in elucidating the cellular functions of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [InsP3(1,4,5)] is a major second messenger regulating Ca2+ signaling in excitable and nonexcitable cells. InsP3(1,4,5) is extensively metabolized through a network of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation steps to products with potential second messenger function. Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [InsP4(1,3,4,5)], the direct metabolite of InsP3(1,4,5), has also been associated with Ca2+ signaling, but whether InsP4(1,3,4,5) acts in combination with InsP3(1,4,5) or whether it regulates Ca2+ signaling directly and independently is unclear, particularly in neurons. We report that olfactory receptor neurons in the lobster (Panulirus argus) express an InsP4(1,3,4,5) receptor in the plasma membrane that is a functional channel. The channel differs in conductance, kinetics, and voltage sensitivity from two plasma membrane InsP3(1,4,5)-gated channels previously reported in these neurons. In close spatial proximity, the InsP4(1,3,4,5)-and InsP3(1,4,5)-gated channels interact reciprocally to alter the channels' open probabilities in what may be a novel mechanism for regulating Ca2+ entry in neurons.

Abstract
Numerous circulating and locally produced hormones bind to specific cell-surface receptors and activate a variety of second-messenger pathways that evoke characteristic phenotypic responses in their target cells. One of the most ubiquitous signal transduction mechanisms is the phosphoinositide-calcium messenger system, which is activated by hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors. Stimulation of these receptors by their ligands causes a characteristic change in the metabolism of membrane phospholipids with production of diacylglycerol and a rapid increase in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration, due to the release of stored intracellular Ca(2+) and stimulated Ca(2+) entry from the extracellular space. These intracettular signals act in concert to activate protein kinases that phosphorylate a variety of regulatory proteins. The link between phosphoinositide turnover and Ca(2+) mobilization is inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, the major Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger, which is produced from membrane phosphoinositides by activated phospholipase C enzymes. The mechanisms of ligand-regulated Ca(2+) influx and the additional regulatory role(s) of phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates are still being unfolded. This review and the following article summarize some recent developments and unsolved issues about this major signal transduction cascade that links calcium-mobilizing hormone receptors to the regulation of endocrine cell function.

Abstract
A lesion of the entorhinal cortex produces a loss of more than 80% of the synapses in the outer molecular layer of the hippocampus in the rat. However, this synaptic loss is transient. Beginning a few days after denervation, new synapses are formed, virtually replacing the lost inputs within two months. Synaptic remodelling induced by entorhinal cortex lesion is associated with specific modifications of various neurotransmitters, hormones and growth factors. Many of these substances act at membrane bound-receptors to induce the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols generating various inositol phosphates. Some of the key members of this family include inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and inositol hexakisphosphate which are all associated with the maintenance Ca2+ homeostasis. To investigate the potential roles and/or alterations of inositol phosphates in entorhinal cortex lesions-induced neuronal plasticity, we quantified specific receptor sites for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and inositol hexakisphosphate using their respective tritiated ligands, at different periods post-lesion corresponding to the degenerative and subsequent reinnervation phases. [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding sites are maximally increased (30%) between two and eight days post-lesion in the hippocampal formation on both sides of the lesion. In the cortex, [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding increased also bilaterally following the lesion. Changes in [3H]inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate binding are delayed and reduced (20% increase) in magnitude compared to these seen for [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding. The maximal peak in [3H]inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate binding is observed between eight and 14 days after the lesion in the hippocampal formation and the cortex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The aminosteroid U73122 inhibited phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated intracellular Ca2+ release in differentiated and undifferentiated NG108-15 cells, as well as rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons grown in primary culture. 1 microM U73122 blocked bradykinin (BK)-induced increases in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) measured in single cells with indo-1-based dual emission microfluorimetry. A close structural analog, U73343, was without effect. The effects of U73122 were time and concentration-dependent. 1 microM drug produced half maximal inhibition in approximately 3 min. The IC50 for a 20-min exposure was approximately 200 nM. The effects of the compound were irreversible for the duration of experiments as long as 1 h. Treatment with 1 microM U73122, but not U73343 produced a small but significant increase in [Ca2+]i which resulted from Ca2+ release from an intracellular store. It is not clear whether this [Ca2+]i increase resulted from inhibition of PLC or an action on the store directly. In differentiated NG108-15 cells U73122 blocked completely depolarization-induced Ca2+ influx. In contrast, in DRG neurons U73122 inhibited only slightly voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels. Thus, we caution that U73122 may not be selective at concentrations required for maximal block of PLC and that the selectivity of U73122 is dependent on cell type. Overall, our results are consistent with U73122 inhibiting PLC in neuronal cells and indicate that under the appropriate conditions, this compound is a useful tool for studying inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated Ca2+ mobilization.

Abstract
It is well established that the inositol lipids mediate signal transduction in several cellular populations. Many neurotransmitters, hormones and growth factors act at plasma membrane receptors to induce the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols and hence the generation of various inositol phosphates (IP). The best known member of this family is 1,4,5-IP3, which is associated with the release of Ca2+ from intracellular pools. It has also been proposed that two others inositides, 1,3,4,5-IP4 and IP6, may be involved in Ca2+ homeostasis. In order to study the possible relevance of these various inositides in neuronal tissues, we have localized the respective receptors in rat and human brain under both acidic and basic pH conditions. In the hippocampal formation, [3H]1,3,4,5-IP4 binding sites are concentrated in the hilus and the molecular layer while a clearly different pattern of distribution is seen for [3H]1,4,5-IP3, its highest concentration of labelling being concentrated in the oriens and radiatum laminae. This contrasting profile of distribution is also observed in other brain areas such as the caudate-putamen, the septo-hippocampal area, and the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellum. Moreover, while highest amounts of specific [3H]1,4,5-IP3 binding are obtained at pH 8.5, the opposite is found for [3H]1,3,4,5-IP4, with high binding levels seen under acidic conditions. [3H]IP6 binding sites are broadly distributed with specific labelling concentrated in areas enriched with neuronal perikarya such as the granular cell layer of the dentate gyrus, the pyramidal cell layers of the hippocampus and the granular cell layer of the cerebellum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This study examined the effects of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3)- and D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4)-loaded liposomes upon the contractile activity of vascular smooth muscle, using the isolated (endothelium removed) rat aortic ring as in vitro model. While control liposomes had no effect, the administration of Ins(1,4,5)P3-containing liposomes contracted the smooth muscle preparation. Furthermore, a similar effect was seen with the administration of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-filled liposomes but, in this case, the rings developed a significantly higher level of active tension. Pretreatment of the aortic preparation with heparin-loaded liposomes blocked the contractions induced by both Ins(1,4,5)P3- and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-containing liposomes.

Abstract
The effects of the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors thapsigargin (Tg) and 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBuBHQ) were examined by using Ca(2+)-regulatory systems of platelet mixed membranes, saponin-permeabilized and intact platelets. Both agents inhibit Ca(2+)-ATPase activities of platelet mixed membranes, without any effect on the basal Mg(2+)-ATPase activity. Tg is more effective (EC50 = 35 nM) than tBuBHQ (EC50 = 580 nM). The effect of the two inhibitors on 45Ca2+ release from saponin-permeabilized platelets has also been characterized. 45Ca2+ uptake into non-mitochondrial intracellular stores occurs via an ATP-dependent mechanism, and if added at equilibrium the second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P3 releases 50% of the accumulated 45Ca2+. Maximally effective concentrations of Tg (1 microM) and tBuBHQ (50 microM) release 77% and 68% of the accumulated 45Ca2+. Addition of Ins(1,4,5)P3 together with either Tg or tBuBHQ resulted in a non-additive release which was the same as with either Tg or tBuBHQ alone, indicating that the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool was a subset of the pool that is sensitive to the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors. Release of 45Ca2+ by either Tg or tBuBHQ was not affected by heparin, which totally blocked Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release, and Tg was found not to affect [32P]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding to its receptor on mixed membranes. Thus both Tg and tBuBHQ release Ca2+ from a pool that totally overlaps the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive pool without affecting Ins(1,4,5)P3 function. In intact indomethacin-treated Fura 2-loaded platelets, Tg and tBuBHQ cause Ca2+ elevation, arising from release from intracellular stores and influx from the outside. Both Tg and tBuBHQ elevated Ca2+ to similar levels, which were less and slower than those observed with thrombin. Addition of thrombin to cells already treated with Tg or tBuBHQ produced further elevation of Ca2+, indicating agonist utilization of a Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor-insensitive pool. In aggregation experiments Tg and tBuBHQ showed different functional effects. In indomethacin-treated cells Tg induces slow aggregation and secretion responses, whereas tBuBHQ only induces shape change. Both agents show synergistic secretory responses with the protein kinase C activator dioctanoylglycerol (DiC8). Tg also showed greater ability than tBuBHQ to release [3H]arachidonic acid (AA) from [3H]AA-labelled platelets. Additionally, in [32P]Pi-labelled platelets both Tg and tBuBHQ induced phosphorylation of myosin light chain, a 27 kDa protein and the 45 kDa protein pleckstrin, but Tg showed a greater ability than tBuBHQ to cause phosphorylation of pleckstrin. These studies indicate that Tg and tBuBHQ are effective in releasing the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool in platelets.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was able to mobilize the entire Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store in saponin-permeabilized SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner, yielding an EC50 value of 2.05 +/- 0.45 microM, compared with 0.14 +/- 0.03 microM for Ins(1,4,5)P3. However, L-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 [= D-Ins(1,3,5,6)P4] failed to cause mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ at concentrations up to 100 microM. Binding studies using pig cerebellar membranes as a source of both Ins(1,4,5)P3/Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-specific binding sites have revealed a marked contrast in their stereospecificity requirements. Ins(1,4,5)P3-receptors from pig cerebella exhibited stringent stereospecificity, L-Ins(1,4,5)P3 and L-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 were > 1000-fold weaker, whereas Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 (IC50 762 +/- 15 nM) was only about 40-fold weaker than D-Ins(1,4,5)P3 (IC50 20.7 +/- 9.7 nM) at displacing specific [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding from an apparently homogeneous Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor population. In contrast, the Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-binding site exhibited poor stereoselectivity. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 produced a biphasic displacement of specific [32P]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 binding, with two-site analysis revealing KD values for high- and low-affinity sites of 2.1 +/- 0.5 nM and 918 +/- 161 nM respectively. L-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 also produced a biphasic displacement of specific [32P]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 binding which was less than 10-fold weaker than with D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 (IC50 values for the high- and low-affinity sites of 17.2 +/- 3.7 nM and 3010 +/- 542 nM respectively). Therefore, although L-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 appears to be a high-affinity Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-binding-site ligand in pig cerebellum, it is a very weak agonist at the Ca(2+)-mobilizing receptors of permeabilized SH-SY5Y cells. We suggest that the ability of D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 to access intracellular Ca2+ stores may derive from specific interaction with the Ins(1,4,5)P3- and not the Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-receptor population.

Abstract
1. We have previously demonstrated that activation of M3 muscarinic receptors increases inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4) accumulation in colonic smooth muscle. 2. In the present study, we demonstrate the existence of InsP3 and InsP4 binding sites in colonic circular smooth muscle by use of radioligand binding methods. Both [3H]-InsP3 and [3H]-InsP4 bound rapidly and reversibly to a single class of saturable sites in detergent-solubilized colonic membranes with affinities of 5.04 +/- 1.03 nM and 3.41 +/- 0.78 nM, respectively. The density of [3H]-InsP3 binding sites was 335.3 +/- 19.3 fmol mg-1 protein which was approximately 2.5 fold greater than that of [3H]-InsP4 sites (127.3 +/- 9.1 fmol mg-1 protein). 3. The two high affinity inositol phosphate binding sites exhibited markedly different pH optima for binding of each radioligand. At pH 9.0, specific [3H]-InsP3 binding was maximal, whereas [3H]-InsP4 binding was only 10% that of [3H]-InsP3. Conversely, at pH 5.0, [3H]-InsP4 binding was maximal, while [3H]-InsP3 binding was reduced to 15% of its binding at pH 9.0. 4. InsP3 was about 20 fold less potent (KI = 50.7 +/- 8.3 nM) than InsP4 in competing for [3H]-InsP4 binding sites and could compete for only 60% of [3H]-InsP4 specific binding. InsP4 was also capable of high affinity competition with [3H]-InsP3 binding (KI = 103.5 +/- 1.5 nM), and could compete for 100% of [3H]-InsP3 specific binding. 5. [3H]-InsP3 binding in subcellular fractions separated by discontinuous sucrose density gradients followed NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity, suggesting an intracellular localization for the majority of InsP3 receptors in this tissue, whereas [3H]-InsP4 binding appeared to be equally distributed between plasma membrane and intracellular membrane populations.6. These results suggest the existence of distinct and specific InsP3 and InsP4 binding sites which may represent the physiological receptors for these second messengers; differences in the subcellular distribution of these receptors may contribute to differences in their putative physiological roles.

Abstract
The addition of Ca2+ or a variety of divalent cations increases intracellular Ca2+ in parathyroid cells and suppresses secretion. Since 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,3,4,5-inositol tetrakisphosphate (IP4) mediate Ca2+ mobilization in other systems, we examined high Ca(2+)- and Sr(2+)-induced accumulation of IP3 and IP4 isomers by anion-exchange HPLC and measured 1,4,5-IP3 mass in parathyroid cells. Raising extracellular [Ca2+] from 0.5 to 3.0 mM increased 3H-1,4,5-IP3 within 5 s, which was confirmed by mass measurements. 3H-1,3,4-IP3 rose gradually by 10 s and increased for 60 s after the addition of Ca2+. Although we detected no change in 3H-1,3,4,5-IP4, the increase in 3H-1,3,4-IP3 suggests that 3H-1,3,4,5-IP4 was being formed. The addition of 4 mM SrCl2 produced similar changes in 1,4,5-IP3, which were confirmed by mass assay. 3H-1,3,4,5-IP4 did not change. However, Sr2+ induced a gradual increase in 3H-1,3,4-IP3, which remained above control levels for 5 minutes. Isotopic labeling studies in this system may underestimate changes in 1,4,5-IP3 mass, but both mass and radioisotopic analyses indicate that high extracellular Ca2+ and Sr2+ stimulate substantial increases in 1,4,5-IP3 without significant accumulation of 1,3,4,5-IP4. These studies suggest a role for 1,4,5-IP3 in intracellular Ca2+ mobilization by divalent cations in parathyroid cells.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of increasing concentrations of myo-inositol (inositol) on receptor stimulated [3H]inositol polyphosphate formation in the absence of lithium, slices of rat cerebral cortex were incubated with various concentrations of [3H]inositol (1 to 30 microM). Carbachol stimulated formation of [3H]inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) and [3H]inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4) increased several fold when the inositol concentration was increased reaching a plateau at approximately 12 microM inositol. Time course studies revealed that in the presence of low concentrations of inositol (1 microM), [3H]InsP3 and [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 formation in response to carbachol stimulation increased slowly over a 10 to 20 min time period, whereas in the presence of 4 and 12 microM inositol, carbachol stimulated [3H]InsP3 and [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 formation was rapid and essentially complete within 3 to 5 min after carbachol addition. Although the carbachol dose response in 12 microM inositol had a much greater maximal efficacy, there was no change in potency. Similar to the effects of carbachol on [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 formation from prelabeled phosphoinositides, muscarinic receptor stimulation increased Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 mass formation by seven fold. Furthermore, Li+ (8 mM) completely inhibited carbachol stimulated increases in Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 mass formation. In contrast to the effects of increasing inositol on carbachol stimulated formation of radiolabeled inositol phosphates, increasing inositol had no effect upon mass formation of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. These results show that when measuring inositol polyphosphate formation by the radiolabeling technique in the absence of Li+, increasing the inositol concentration greatly increases the stimulated component of [3H]InsP3 and [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 formation. However, this inositol induced increase in agonist stimulated Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 formation is not reflected as an increase in mass formation.

Abstract
In the human T-lymphocyte cell lines Jurkat and HPB.ALL and the human monocytoid cell line U937, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 triggers a dose-dependent release of Ca2+ from crude microsomal preparations, with a half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of 1.2-2.3 microM. Similar results were obtained with enriched vesicular plasma membranes from U937 cells. However, in permeabilized preparations of the same cell types only Ins(1,4,5)P3 was able to release Ca2+ from intracellular stores, with EC50 values in the range 0.11-0.84 microM. In crude microsomes the effects of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and Ins(2,4,5)P3, a non-metabolizable InsP3 isomer, occurred independently of each other, indicating subpopulations of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4- and Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive vesicles. The Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 preparation used for the Ca(2+)-release experiments contains neither Ca2+ nor contaminating Ins(1,4,5)P3 and was not metabolized to Ins(1,4,5)P3 during the Ca(2+)-release experiments. We conclude that Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 independently of Ins(1,4,5)P3 induces a Ca2+ flux via a membrane compartment, most likely the plasma membrane, that is functionally destroyed during the permeabilization of the cells.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of inositol trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release from the internal Ca2+ store, we examined the effects of heparin, phorbol ester and cyclic nucleotides on Ca2+ release induced by carbachol or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3). For monitoring changes of Ca2+ we used the fluorescent indicator, fura-2, in electropermeabilized rat pancreatic acini. An amount of 100 micrograms/ml heparin inhibited the Ca2+ release induced by 1 microM 1,4,5-IP3 in permeabilized acini. Pretreatment with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for 10 min reduced the release of Ca2+ induced by 10 microM carbachol and 1 microM 1,4,5-IP3 in permeabilized acini. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, blocked the inhibitory effect of TPA. Cytosolic calcium concentration was restored by staurosporine in TPA-treated acini. Although cyclic AMP exaggerated the amylase release induced by carbachol, cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP had no effect on the carbachol-induced release of Ca2+ in permeabilized acini. These findings suggest that protein kinase C may act at the level of the IP3 receptors or the IP3-operated Ca2+ channels of the internal Ca2+ store and indicate that cyclic nucleotides do not affect the IP3-induced release of Ca2+ in rat pancreatic acini.

Abstract
The zones of the adrenal cortex contain distinct populations of cells which share a common developmental origin and steroidogenic template. In the rat, zona glomerulosa cells respond to angiotensin II (Ang II) with increased steroidogenesis while zona fasciculata/reticularis cells do not. We have examined Ang II-mediated signal transduction in homogeneous cellular sub-populations derived from either the zona glomerulosa (GLOM) or the zona fasciculata (FASC). In both of these sub-populations Ang II treatment significantly increased the levels of 3H-labelled inositol phosphates as well as the total mass of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate. In contrast, the two cell types exhibited very different Ang II-mediated changes in free intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i). Ang II (10 nM), induced [Ca2+]i increases of > 50 nM in 90% of individual GLOM cells (53/58), but in only 28% of FASC cells (11/39). These [Ca2+]i responses occurred after a transient Ang II stimulation ( < 1 min), in the presence of verapamil and in the absence of extracellular calcium, indicating an intracellular release. In small groups of 10-30 cells, stimulation with 1, 10 and 100 nM Ang II induced [Ca2+]i increases of 78, 178 and 215 nM respectively in GLOM cultures compared to only 35, 64, and 65 nM in FASC cultures. Thapsigargin treatment, which releases intracellular calcium in an inositol phosphate independent manner, elicited [Ca2+]i increases in both populations. Importantly, a calcium ionophore induced elevation of [Ca2+]i increased steroidogenesis in both cell types. These results suggest that an interruption of the signaling cascade at the level of intracellular calcium release contributes to the lack of a steroidogenic response to Ang II by the FASC cells. Therefore, in the rat adrenal cortex, divergent differentiation of related cell types may involve alterations within signal transduction pathways distal to initial receptor-mediated events (i.e. inositol phosphate production) and proximal to downstream effector events (i.e. steroidogenesis).
