Abstract
Naloxone (10(-5) -10(-9) M) significantly increased the K+ (30 mM)-induced release of [3H[noradrenaline when it was applied to cortical slices taken from morphine-dependent rats but did not change the release of transmitter when applied to slices prepared from non-dependent animals. Therefore, this preparation was considered suitable to study withdrawal-related events and was used to monitor the agonist-induced changes of phospholipase C activity in the withdrawal state. Noradrenaline (1-100 microM) and carbachol (50-500 microM), when applied to cortical slices preincubated with [3H]inositol or with [32P]orthophosphate, dose dependently increased the formation of labeled inositol phosphates or of phosphatidic acid. This confirmed that noradrenaline and carbachol increase phospholipase C activity. This increase was significantly enhanced by naloxone (10(-6) M) when the slices were taken from dependent animals. The results now reported show for the first time in mammalian tissues that opioid withdrawal is associated with changes of phosphoinositide metabolism.

Abstract
Specific, saturable and reversible binding of [3H]inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) was demonstrated to membranes prepared from autopsied cerebral cortices from 6 subjects who were free from psychiatric or neurological disease. The binding has an affinity of 27 +/- 8 nM (mean +/- S.E.M.); capacity (Bmax) of 1.09 +/- 0.18 pmol/mg protein and is reversible in the presence of an excess of unlabelled IP3. These [3H]IP3 binding sites are likely to be physiologically significant receptors which merit further characterization in the normal and diseased human brain.

Abstract
This study describes the specific alterations in phosphoinositide mass and fatty acid composition observed in brain essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD). These investigations were motivated by the observation that alterations in volatile anesthetic potency were associated with changes in brain arachidonyl-phosphatidylinositol (PI) content, and were aimed at defining whether EFAD might alter the generation of chemical second messengers via the PI cycle. Analyses of cerebral cortical phosphoinositide mass and fatty acid composition showed that EFAD results in specific and preferential depletion of arachidonate (20:4(n - 6); 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) from cerebral cortical polyphosphoinositides, and that this depletion is reversed by parenteral supplementation with linoleic acid (18:2(n - 6); 9,12-octadecadienoic acid). These analyses also showed that, while phosphoinositides containing 20:3(n - 9) (5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid) accumulated in EFAD, linoleate supplementation decreased 20:3(n - 9)-PI and 20:3(n - 9)-phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), but resulted in accumulation of 20:3(n - 9)-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Comparison of the fatty acid composition of brain polyphosphoinositides and 1,2-diacylglycerols between treatment groups showed that diacylglycerols contain a lower molar percentage of 20:3(n - 9) and a higher percentage of arachidonate than the corresponding polyphosphoinositides. The combined results of these studies suggest the existence of fatty acid substrate specificity for the hydrolysis of PIP2 by phospholipase C. The biological relevance of these findings is suggested by a strong correlation between the mass of cerebral cortical arachidonyl-PIP2 and the potency of the anesthetic halothane.

Abstract
The role of a GTP-binding protein in activation of phospholipase C in bovine corneal epithelium was determined by investigating the effects of non-hydrolyzable GTP analog, GTP-gamma-S, and NaF on breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in this tissue. GTP-gamma-S (2-50 microM), when introduced into the permeabilized corneal epithelial cells labeled with myo-[3H]inositol, dose-dependently increased the formation of myoinositol trisphosphate (IP3). Other guanine nucleotides and ATP were ineffective. Incubation of 32P-prelabeled corneal epithelium with NaF (2-50 mM) resulted in increased breakdown of PIP2 and increased synthesis of phosphatidic acid. In myo-[3H]inositol-labeled tissue, NaF dose-dependently increased the accumulation of IP3. Microsomal membrane fraction from corneal epithelium was found to contain phospholipase C activity towards endogenous phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and PIP2. The enzyme activity was stimulated by Ca2+ (100 microM). Addition of GTP-gamma-S to microsomal fraction containing phosphoinositides which were radiolabeled with 32Pi in situ or with [gamma-32P]ATP in vitro caused a dose dependent hydrolysis of PIP2. These data, taken collectively, suggest that a GTP-binding protein is involved in activation of phospholipase C towards PIP2 in bovine corneal epithelium, and that this guanine nucleotide regulatory protein may serve to couple norepinephrine and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors to phospholipase C during transmembrane signalling.

Abstract
Studies were carried out to define the relative affinities and intrinsic activities of excitatory amino acid agonists that activate receptor sites coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis in brain. Slices of rat hippocampus were prelabeled with myo-[3H]inositol, and agonist stimulation was indexed by measuring the accumulation of [3H]inositol monophosphate [( 3H]IP) in the presence of Li+. It was observed that ibotenic (IBO) and quisqualic (QUIS) acids both elicit highly significant, concentration-dependent stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Whereas maximal stimulation by IBO (10(-3) M) was four- to fivefold over basal values, the maximal effect of QUIS (10(-4) M) was less (about twofold). Based on the relative concentrations required for 50% maximal stimulation, QUIS was 20 times more potent than IBO. Stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by either IBO or QUIS was additive to the effects of nonexcitatory amino acid agonists (carbachol and norepinephrine) in this tissue. However, the stimulatory effects of IBO plus QUIS were not additive. At greater than or equal to 10(-4) M, QUIS significantly inhibited phosphoinositide hydrolysis by a maximal stimulatory concentration of IBO (10(-3) M) to a level observed with QUIS alone. Other excitatory amino acid agonists, including kainate, N-methyl-D-aspartate, and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), had no stimulatory effects at concentrations as high as 10(-3) M. The D,L or L forms of 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (AP4), but not D-AP4, significantly enhanced [3H]IP levels to approximately 135% of basal values.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Synaptosomes, purified from rat cerebral cortex, were prelabeled with [3H]inositol to study phosphatidylinositol turnover in nerve terminals. Labeled synaptosomes were either depolarized with 40 mM K+ or exposed to carbamoylcholine (carbachol). K+ depolarization increased the level of inositol phosphates in a time-dependent manner. The inositol trisphosphate concentration increased rapidly and transiently, reaching maximum (250% of control) in less than 3 sec and returning to near basal levels by 30 sec. The inositol bisphosphate level also increased rapidly, but its elevated level (220% of control) was sustained during continued depolarization. The elevated level of inositol bisphosphate was reversed upon repolarization of the synaptosomes. The level of inositol monophosphate increased slowly to 120-130% of control. These effects of K+ depolarization depended on the presence of Ca2+ in the incubation medium. Carbachol stimulated the turnover of phosphatidylinositol in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The level of inositol trisphosphate increased only slightly (120-130% of control) during carbachol stimulation. The level of inositol bisphosphate increased to 210% of control, and this maximal response was seen from 15 to 60 min. Accumulation of inositol monophosphate (250% of control) was larger than that of inositol bisphosphate, but its time course was slower. Atropine and pirenzepine inhibited the carbachol effect with high affinities of 0.8 nM and 16 nM, respectively, indicating that the effect of carbachol was mediated by activation of a M1 muscarinic receptor. Incubation of synaptosomes in Ca2+-free buffer reduced the response to carbachol by 30%, and addition of EGTA abolished it. These data show that both Ca2+ influx and M1 muscarinic receptor activation stimulate phospholipase C activity in synaptosomes, suggesting that phosphatidylinositol turnover may be involved in regulating neurotransmitter release from nerve terminals.

Abstract
The M1-selective (high affinity for pirenzepine) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antagonist pirenzepine displaced both N-[3H]methylscopolamine [( 3H]NMS) and [3H]quinuclidinylbenzilate from intact human SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells with a low affinity (Ki = 869-1,066 nM), a result indicating the predominance of the M2 or M3 (low affinity for pirenzepine) receptor subtype in these cells. Whereas a selective M2 agent, AF-DX 116 [11-2[[2-[(diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyl]- acetyl]-5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one) bound to the mAChRs with a very low affinity (Ki = 6.0 microM), 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP), an agent that binds with high affinity to the M3 subtype, potently inhibited [3H]NMS binding (Ki = 7.2 nM). 4-DAMP was also 1,000-fold more effective than AF-DX 116 at blocking stimulated phosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis in these cells. Covalent labeling studies (with [3H]propylbenzilycholine mustard) suggest that the size of the SK-N-SH mAChR (Mr = 81,000-98,000) distinguishes it from the predominant mAChR species in rat cerebral cortex (Mr = 66,000), an M1-enriched tissue. These results provide the first demonstration of a neural M3 mAChR subtype that couples to PPI turnover.

Abstract
Subcellular fractions isolated and purified from rat brain cerebral cortices were assayed for phosphatidylinositol (PI-), phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP-), and diacylglycerol (DG-) kinase activities in the presence of endogenous or exogenously added lipid substrates and [gamma-32P]ATP. Measurable amounts of all three kinase activities were observed in each subcellular fraction, including the cytosol. However, their subcellular profiles were uniquely distinct. In the absence of exogenous lipid substrates, PI-kinase specific activity was greatest in the microsomal and non-synaptic plasma membrane fractions (150-200 pmol/min per mg protein), whereas PIP-kinase was predominantly active in the synaptosomal fraction (136 pmol/min per mg protein). Based on percentage of total protein, total recovered PI-kinase activity was most abundant in the cytosolic, synaptosomal, microsomal and mitochondrial fractions (4-11 nmol/min). With the exception of the microsomal fraction, a similar profile was observed for PIP-kinase activity when assayed in the presence of exogenous PIP (4 nmol/20 mg protein in a final assay volume of 0.1 ml). Exogenous PIP (4 nmol/20 mg protein) inhibited PI-kinase activity in most fractions by 40-70%, while enhancing PIP-kinase activity. PI- and PIP-kinase activities were observed in the cytosolic fraction when assayed in the presence of exogenously added PI or PIP, respectively, but not in heat-inactivated membranes containing these substrates. When subcellular fractions were assayed for DG-kinase activity using heat-inactivated DG-enriched membranes as substrate, DG-kinase specific activity was predominantly present in in the cytosol. However, incubation of subcellular fractions in the presence of deoxycholate resulted in a striking enhancement of DG-kinase activities in all membrane fractions. These findings demonstrate a bimodal distribution between particulate and soluble fractions of all three lipid kinases, with each exhibiting its own unique subcellular topography. The preferential expression of PIP-kinase specific activity in the synaptic membranes is suggestive of the involvement of PIP2 in synaptic function, while the expression of PI-kinase specific activity in the microsomal fraction suggests additional, yet unknown, functions for PIP in these membranes.

Abstract
Ontogenetic changes of the total activity and the subcellular distribution of Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) were investigated in the cat visual cortex. Following homogenization of the tissue in Ca2+-free buffer and separation of membrane-bound and soluble protein kinase C, the enzyme was partially purified by diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatography. Total, membrane-bound and soluble enzyme activity were determined by measuring the phosphate incorporation into lysine-rich histone, a substrate for protein kinase C. It was found that the total activity level, while being low in the first 4 weeks, increased rapidly to peak values at 5 weeks of age and declined slightly thereafter. Although at all developmental stages most of the enzyme was recovered in the soluble fraction, the membrane-bound activity exhibited a considerable increase at 5 weeks of age, reflecting a relative shift of protein kinase C from the cytosol to the membranes. The increase and redistribution of protein kinase C activity coincide in time with the developmental phase during which the visual cortex is particularly susceptible to undergo use-dependent modifications. This finding is compatible with the hypothesis that protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation processes are involved in activity-dependent modifications of neuronal transmission.

Abstract
A rat genomic DNA clone was isolated by its homology with a conserved primary sequence among the mammalian and avian beta adrenergic and porcine muscarinic receptors. A gene identified in this clone was highly homologous to the rat M1 muscarinic receptor. Stable expression of this gene was achieved in an established murine fibroblast cell line, B82. The gene product exhibits M1 type muscarinic receptor characteristics, as it has high affinity for PZ but low affinity for AF-DX 116. Carbachol stimulated the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols in the transfected cells. Pirenzepine had a more potent inhibitory effect on this response than AF-DX 116 since their functional inhibition constants were 13 nM and 480 nM, respectively, which is consistent with an M1 pharmacological profile. These data suggest that the M1 muscarinic receptor encoded by the gene is coupled to the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols after transfecting this gene into the B82 cells.

Abstract
Slices of rat brainstem that had been prelabeled by in vivo injection of [3H]inositol were stimulated with carbachol in the presence of lithium and changes measured in the radioactivity of inositol lipids and water-soluble inositol phosphates. For the latter, significant increases were seen for inositol mono- and bisphosphate but not inositol trisphosphate. Analysis of whole tissue phosphoinositides revealed significantly reduced radioactivity in phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, whereas myelin showed decreases in those as well as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. These effects were blocked by atropine. Stimulation of the tissue slices with elevated K+ resulted in increased formation of inositol phosphate and decreased radioactivity in phosphatidylinositol. The effect was not blocked by atropine and in the presence of this agent, which reduced background reaction, all 3 phosphoinositides showed significant K+-induced loss of label. Elevated K+ and carbachol thus function through different mechanisms in this system. Carbachol is believed to affect myelin phosphoinositides through direct interaction with muscarinic receptors which were recently shown to be present in this membrane.

Abstract
In primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells, protein kinase C (PKC) translocation and activation can be triggered by the stimulation of excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter receptors. Glutamate evokes a dose-related translocation of 4-beta-[3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate ([3H]-P(BtO)2) binding sites from the cytosol to the neuronal membrane and stimulates the incorporation of 32P into a number of membrane proteins, particularly protein bands in the range of 80, 50, and 40 kDa. The glutamate-evoked PKC translocation is Mg2+ sensitive, is prevented by 2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate and phencyclidine, is not inhibited by nitrendipine (a voltage-dependent Ca2+-channel blocker) but is abolished by the removal of Ca2+ from the incubation medium, suggesting that glutamate-mediated Ca2+ influx is operative in the redistribution of PKC. Exposure of granule cells to the gangliosides trisialosylgangliotetraglycosylceramide (GT1b) or monosialosylgangliotetraglycosylceramide (GM1) inhibits the translocation and activation of PKC evoked by glutamate. These glycosphingolipids fail to interfere with glutamate binding to its high-affinity recognition site or with the [3H]P(BtO)2 binding, nor do they affect the Ca2+ influx. These gangliosides may prevent PKC translocation by interfering with the PKC binding to the neuronal membrane phosphatidylserine.

Abstract
Two distinct categories of dopamine receptors, termed D1 and D2, have been identified on the basis of pharmacological and biochemical criteria. Some of the progress made in our understanding of the subunit structure, function and signal transduction properties of these important membrane proteins are reviewed.

Abstract
Glial cells in the central nervous systems (CNS) have complex functions which are difficult to decipher because of the intimate intertwining of glial cells with neurons. We have therefore developed an essentially neuron-free preparation of CNS astrocytes in the kainic acid lesioned hippocampal slice. With this preparation we have examined the effect of activating protein kinase C in astrocytes with a phorbol ester, TPA (12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate). In most cells, TPA induced rhythmic oscillations (0.1-3.0 Hz) of membrane potential which were typically 5-10 mV in amplitude and were associated with increases of up to eightfold in input resistance during the depolarizing phase. These large changes in membrane conductance are the first reported observations of endogenously generated conductance changes in astrocytes of the mammalian CNS and they could influence excitability of surrounding neurons, possibly by altering extracellular ion concentrations.

Abstract
Syntheses of a metabolite of the second messenger myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, myo-inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, and an analogue, the 1,4-bisphosphorothioate, are reported, by using phosphite chemistry on (+/-)-1,2:4,5-di-isopropylidene-myo-inositol. The synthesis of (+/-)-1,2:4,5-di-isopropylidene 3,6-bis[di-(2-cyanoethyl)]phosphite provides an intermediate that can be oxidized to either the corresponding bisphosphate or bisphosphorothioate. myo-Inositol phosphorothioates are proposed as novel analogues of myo-inositol phosphates; their resistance to phosphatase-catalysed breakdown is reported.
