Abstract
In the precedent research conducted by the same team, it concluded that the activities in C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/β-type phospholipase C (PLCβ) pathways of rat antral smooth muscle were changed due to diabetes, which was the key pathogenetic mechanism for diabetic gastric dysmotility. As the follow-on step, this study was designed to probe into the downstream signaling pathway of CNP/PLCβ. The results showed that level of α-type protein kinase C (PKCα),cell membrane to cytoplasm ratio of PKCα, cell membrane to cytoplasmic ratio of βI-type protein kinase C (PKCβI) and level of Phosphor-PKCα (P-PKCα) were significantly reduced in diabetes rat antral smooth muscle samples. The content of tetraphosphate inositol (IP4) in gastric antral smooth muscle of diabetic rats reduced, and the content of diacyl-glycerol (DG) was unchanged. CNP significantly decreased the content of IP4 and DG, this effect was more obvious in diabetic rats. Subsequent to the addition of protein kinase A (PKA) blocker N-[2- (p-Bromocin-namylamino)ethyl]-5 -isoquinolinesulfonamide dihydrochloride (H-89) before CNP treatment, the inhibitory effect of CNP was reduced; subsequent to the addition of protein kinase G (PKG) blocker KT5823 before CNP treatment, the inhibitory effect of CNP was also reduced. With the addition of the combination of H-89 and KT5823 before CNP treatment, the inhibition by CNP could be offset. These results were concluded that CNP inhibited the activity of PKC family in rat smooth muscle and reduced the levels of IP4 and DG through the PKG/PKA-PLCβ pathways, causing inhibited muscular contractions, which may be a key pathogenetic factor for diabetic gastroparesis.

Am J Obstet Gynecol 2015; 213:210.e1-210.e11. [PMID: 25891998 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2015.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2014] [Revised: 02/06/2015] [Accepted: 04/14/2015] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We assessed brain metabolite levels by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in 1-year-old infants born small at term, as compared with infants born appropriate for gestational age (AGA), and their association with neurodevelopment at 2 years of age. STUDY DESIGN A total of 40 infants born small (birthweight <10th centile for gestational age) and 30 AGA infants underwent brain MRS at age 1 year on a 3-T scanner. Small-born infants were subclassified as late intrauterine growth restriction or as small for gestational age, based on the presence or absence of prenatal Doppler and birthweight predictors of an adverse perinatal outcome, respectively. Single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) data were acquired from the frontal lobe at short echo time. Neurodevelopment was evaluated at 2 years of age using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition, assessing cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional, and adaptive behavior scales. RESULTS As compared with AGA controls, infants born small showed significantly higher levels of glutamate and total N-acetylaspartate (NAAt) to creatine (Cr) ratio at age 1 year, and lower Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition scores at 2 years. The subgroup with late intrauterine growth restriction further showed lower estimated glutathione levels at age 1 year. Significant correlations were observed for estimated glutathione levels with adaptive scores, and for myo-inositol with language scores. Significant associations were also noticed for NAA/Cr with cognitive scores, and for glutamate/Cr with motor scores. CONCLUSION Infants born small show brain metabolite differences at 1 year of age, which are correlated with later neurodevelopment. These results support further research on MRS to develop imaging biomarkers of abnormal neurodevelopment.

Biochemical Evidence for a Putative Inositol 1,3,4,5-Tetrakisphosphate Receptor in the Olfactory System of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar). NEUROSCIENCE JOURNAL 2013; 2013:460481.

Abstract
Olfactory receptor neurons in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) appear to use a phosphoinositide-directed phospholipase C (PLC) in odorant signal transduction. The consequences of odor-activated PLC depend on its product, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Therefore, a plasma membrane rich (PMR) fraction, previously characterized from salmon olfactory rosettes, was used to study binding sites for IP3 and its phosphorylation product, inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4). Binding sites for IP3 were present at the lower limit for detection in the PMR fraction but were abundant in a microsomal fraction. Binding sites for IP4 were abundant in the PMR fraction and thus colocalized in the same subcellular fraction with odorant receptors for amino acids and bile acids. Binding of IP4 was saturable and high affinity (Kd = 83 nM). The rank order for potency of inhibition of IP4 by other inositol polyphosphates (InsPx) followed the phosphorylation number with InsP6 > InsP5 > other InsP4 isomers > InsP3 isomers > InsP2 isomers, with the latter showing no activity. The consequences of PLC activity in this system may be dictated in part by a putative receptor for IP4.

Abstract
Stimulation of various cell surface receptors leads to the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) through phospholipase C (PLC) activation, and the IP3 and DAG in turn trigger Ca2+ release through IP3 receptors and protein kinase C activation, respectively. The amount of IP(3) produced is particularly critical to determining the spatio-temporally coordinated Ca(2+)-signaling patterns. In this paper, we report a novel signal cross-talk between DAG and the IP3-mediated Ca(2+)-signaling pathway. We found that a DAG derivative, 1-oleoyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerol (OAG), induces Ca2+ oscillation in various types of cells independently of protein kinase C activity and extracellular Ca2+. The OAG-induced Ca2+ oscillation was completely abolished by depletion of Ca2+ stores or inhibition of PLC and IP3 receptors, indicating that OAG stimulates IP3 production through PLC activation and thereby induces IP3-induced Ca2+ release. Furthermore, intracellular accumulation of endogenous DAG by a DAG-lipase inhibitor greatly increased the number of cells responding to agonist stimulation at low doses. These results suggest a novel physiological function of DAG, i.e. amplification of Ca2+ signaling by enhancing IP3 production via its positive feedback effect on PLC activity.

Abstract
Arginine is conditionally indispensable in the neonate, and its synthesis in the intestine is not sufficient to meet requirements. It is not known how neonatal endogenous arginine synthesis is regulated and the degree to which proline and glutamate are used as precursors. Primed, constant intraportal and intragastric infusions of L-[U-14C]proline and L-[3,4-3H]glutamate, and intragastric L-[guanido-14C]arginine were used to measure whole body and first-pass intestinal arginine synthesis in 10 neonatal piglets fed generous (1.80 g.kg(-1).day(-1)) or deficient (0.20 g.kg(-1).day(-1)) quantities of arginine for 5 days. Glutamate tracer was not detected in arginine, indicating a biologically insignificant conversion of <1% of arginine flux. Endogenous arginine synthesis from proline had obligatory (0.36 g.kg(-1).day(-1)) and maximal (0.68 g.kg(-1).day(-1)) levels (P < 0.05, pooled SE 0.05). Although first-pass gut metabolism is responsible for 42-63% of whole body arginine synthesis, the gut is incapable of upregulating proline to arginine conversion during arginine deficiency, compared with a more than threefold increase without first-pass gut metabolism. These data suggest that upregulation of proline-to-arginine conversion occurs via increased arterial extraction of proline by the gut or in nonintestinal tissues. This study demonstrates that dietary arginine is an important regulator of endogenous arginine synthesis in the neonatal piglet and that proline, but not glutamate, is an important precursor for arginine synthesis in the neonate.

Abstract
The effects of exogenous phosphatidic acid (PA) on Ca2+ transients and contractile activity were studied in cardiomyocytes isolated from chronic streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In control cells, 25 microM PA induced a significant increase in active cell shortening and Ca2+ transients. PA increased IP3 generation in the control cardiomyocytes and its inotropic effects were blocked by a phospholipase C inhibitor. In cardiomyocytes from diabetic rats, PA induced a 25% decrease in active cell shortening and no significant effect on Ca2+ transients. Basal and PA-induced IP3 generation in diabetic rat cardiomyocytes was 3-fold lower as compared to control cells. Sarcolemmal membrane PLC activity was impaired. Insulin treatment of the diabetic animals resulted in a partial recovery of PA responses. Our results, therefore, identify an important defect in the PA-PLC signaling pathway in diabetic rat cardiomyocytes, which may have significant implications for heart dysfunction during diabetes.

Abstract
The expression of regucalcin, a regulatory protein of Ca(2+) signaling, and its effect on Ca(2+) pump activity in the microsomes (sarcoplasmic reticulum) of rat heart muscle was investigated. The expression of regucalcin mRNA was demonstrated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis in heart muscle using rat regucalcin-specific primers. Results with Western blot analysis showed that regucalcin protein was present in the cytoplasm, although it was not detected in the microsomes. Microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase activity was significantly increased in the presence of regucalcin (10(-10)-10(-8) M) in the enzyme reaction mixture. This increase was not seen in the presence of thapsigargin (TP) (10(-5) M), a specific inhibitor of the microsomal Ca(2+) pump enzyme. Regucalcin (10(-10)-10(-8) M) significantly stimulated ATP-dependent (45)Ca(2+) uptake by the microsomes. The effect of regucalcin (10(-8) M) in increasing microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase activity was completely prevented in the presence of digitonin (10(-3) or 10(-2)%), which has a solubilizing effect on membranous lipid, or N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), a modifying reagent of sulfhydryl (SH) groups. Dithiothreitol (DTT; 5 mM), a protecting reagent of SH groups, increased markedly Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. In the presence of DTT (5 mM), regucalcin could not significantly enhance the enzyme activity. Also, the effect of regucalcin in increasing Ca(2+)-ATPase activity was completely inhibited by the addition of vanadate (1 mM), an inhibitor of phosphorylation of enzyme. In addition, the effect of regucalcin on Ca(2+)-ATPase activity was not significantly modulated in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10(-4) M), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (10(-3) M), or calmodulin (5 microg/ml) which is an intracellular signaling factor. The present study demonstrates that regucalcin can activate Ca(2+) pump activity in rat heart microsomes, and that the protein may act the SH groups of Ca(2+)-ATPase by binding to microsomal membranes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We have previously demonstrated that calcium channel antagonists inhibit the growth of human meningiomas in culture after stimulation with growth factors. This study examined the effects of these drugs on signaling transduction pathways in an attempt to elucidate potential mechanisms by which this growth inhibition is mediated. METHODS Primary cell cultures from patients with intracranial meningiomas were established. Cell growth studies were performed with inhibitors and stimulators of tyrosine kinase signal transduction. Intracellular calcium changes and inositol phosphate production were measured after growth factor exposure, with or without pretreatment by calcium channel antagonists. RESULTS The growth of meningiomas in culture can be inhibited by tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitors. Inhibitors and stimulators of phospholipase C can stimulate or inhibit the growth of in vitro meningiomas, respectively. Calcium channel antagonists inhibit intracellular calcium changes induced by serum and epidermal growth factor. Inositol phosphate production is increased after growth factor stimulation, and calcium channel antagonists potentiate this effect. CONCLUSION Calcium channel antagonists interfere with intracellular signaling pathways of cultured meningioma cells. This inhibition is unrelated to voltage-sensitive calcium channels. The findings of this project may aid in the understanding of the signal transduction mechanisms involved in growth factor-mediated meningioma proliferation and may lead to clinically relevant strategies for growth inhibition.

Abstract
Altered hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function has been shown to be associated with changes in mood and behavior. The enzyme phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), an important component of the PI signal transduction system, plays a major role in mediating various physiological functions. In the present study, we investigated the effects of a single dose and of repeated administration (0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg for 10 days) of dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic glucocorticoid, on PI-PLC activity and on expression of PLC isozymes (beta1, delta1, and gamma1) in rat brain. Repeated administration of DEX (1.0 mg/kg) caused a significant increase in PI-PLC activity and in protein expression of the PLC beta1 isozyme in both membrane and cytosol fractions of cortex and hippocampus; however, the repeated administration of a smaller dose of DEX (0.5 mg/kg) caused these changes only in hippocampus but not in cortex. The increase in PLC beta1 protein was associated with an increase in its mRNA level, as measured by competitive RT-PCR. A single administration of DEX (0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg) to rats had no significant effects on PI-PLC activity or on the protein expression of PLC isozymes. These results suggest that DEX up-regulates PI-PLC in rat brain, which presumably is due to a selective increase in expression of the PLC beta1 isozyme, and that these changes in PI-PLC may be related to HPA axis-mediated changes in mood and behavior.

Abstract
Estrogens and growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) act as mitogens promoting cellular proliferation in the breast and in the reproductive tract. Although it was considered originally that these agents manifested their mitogenic actions through separate pathways, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the EGF and estrogen-mediated signaling pathways are intertwined. Indeed, it has been demonstrated recently that 17beta-estradiol (E2) can induce a rapid activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in mammalian cells, an event that is independent of both transcription and protein synthesis. In this study, we have used a pharmacological approach to dissect this novel pathway in MCF-7 breast cancer cells and have determined that in the presence of endogenous estrogen receptor, activation of MAPK by E2 is preceded by a rapid increase in cytosolic calcium. The involvement of intracellular calcium in this process was supported by the finding that the presence of EGTA and Ca2+-free medium did not affect the activation of MAPK by E2 and, additionally, that this response was blocked by the addition of the intracellular calcium chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate. Cumulatively, these data indicate that the estrogen receptor, in addition to functioning as a transcription factor, is also involved, through a nongenomic mechanism, in the regulation of both intracellular calcium homeostasis and MAPK-signaling pathways. Although nongenomic actions of estrogens have been suggested by numerous studies in the past, the ability to link estradiol and the estrogen receptor to a well defined signaling pathway strongly supports a physiological role for this activity.

Abstract
1. myo-Inositol monophosphatase (E.C. 3.1.3.25) hydrolyzes inositol monophosphate to form free myo-inositol, the precursor for the inositol phospholipid second-messenger signaling systems. The biochemical properties of the enzyme were examined in detail. 2. The enzyme exhibited significant hydrolytic activity only on phosphotyrosine among physiological substrates tested in the presence of Zn2+ ions in an acidic environment. 3. The enzyme was recognized and immunoprecipitated with polyclonal antibodies developed against the Zn2+-dependent tyrosine phosphatase of bovine brain. 4. These results indicate that myo-inositol monophosphatase exhibits Zn2+-dependent tyrosine phosphatase activity in an acidic environment and has immunological identity with a Zn2+-dependent tyrosine phosphatase.

Abstract
Interaction of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) with its receptors leads to stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and/or phospholipase C (PLC). While regulation of adenylyl cyclase is thought to involve the G-protein Gs, it is not known whether activation of PLC results from coupling the receptor to Gq family proteins or whether beta gamma subunits released from receptor-activated Gs activate PLC. We used human bone cells OHS-4 bearing CGRP receptors in which CGRP activates only the PLC signaling pathway to determine how CGRP acts. CGRP increased the concentration of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) within 5 s via a Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated calcium channels and by mobilizing calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum. The activation of effectors, like PLC coupled to G-proteins, is the early event in the pathway leading to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation, which is responsible for Ca2+ mobilization. Western blotting demonstrated a range of PLC-beta isoforms (beta1, beta3, beta4, but not beta2) and G-proteins (Galphaq/11 and Galphas). Only phospholipase C-beta1 is involved in the mobilization of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum of Fura-2-loaded confluent OHS-4 cells and the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by CGRP; PLC-gamma have no effect. Activation of PLC-beta1 by CGRP involves the Galphaq/11 subunit, which is insensitive to pertussis toxin, but not Gbeta gamma subunits. We therefore believe that CGRP causes the activation of two separate G-proteins.

Abstract
The kinetics of Ca2+ release from canine cerebellum and rabbit skeletal muscle microsomes, mediated by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IRC) and the ryanodine receptor (RyRC), respectively, were analyzed by a model, which considers that Ca2+ release channels undergo spontaneous inactivation. We found that: (i) both the initial rate of release (Vo) and the rate of inactivation (Vi) were saturable functions of the activating ligand concentration (CL); and (ii) the ratio of Vi/Vo, termed the relative tendency for inactivation, decreased with increasing CL. Equilibrium [3H]-IP3 binding studies, on the other hand, revealed the presence of one single class of non-co-operative IP3 sites in cerebellum membranes (Kdeq = 47 nM and Hill coefficient = 1.1). Based on the above Vi-Vo relationship and the IP3-binding data, we propose that quantal Ca2+ release through IRCs might be a result of spontaneous channel inactivation, whose rate is controlled by the ratio of IP3-occupied/free monomers in the tetrameric release channel units. Furthermore, because of the kinetic similarities between the IRC- and RyRC-mediated Ca2+ release processes, as well as between quantal Ca2+ release and channel adaptation, the same mechanism is also proposed to apply to the RyRC-mediated Ca2+ release as well as to constitute the basis of release channel adaptation.

Abstract
We have shown that estrogens and calcitriol, the hormonally active form of vitamin D, increase the concentration of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) within 5 s by mobilizing calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum and the formation of inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Because the activation of effectors as phospholipase C (PLC) coupled to G-proteins is the early event in the signal transduction pathway leading to the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation and to [Ca2+]i increase, we described different PLC isoforms (beta1, beta2, gamma1, and gamma2, but not beta4) in female rat osteoblasts using Western immunoblotting. The data showed that phospholipase C beta was involved in the mobilization of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum of Fura-2-loaded confluent osteoblasts by calcitriol and 17beta estradiol, and PLC gamma was ineffective. The data also showed that only a PLC beta1 linked to a Pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein and a PLC beta2 coupled to a Pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein are involved in the effects of calcitriol and 17beta estradiol on the mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca2+ stores. In conclusion, these results may be an important step toward understanding membrane effects of these steroids and may be an additional argument in favor of membrane receptors to steroid hormones.

Abstract
We investigated the early effects (5-60 s) of progesterone (1 pM-0.1 microM) on cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) formation in nonluteinized and in vitro luteinized porcine granulosa cells (pGCs). Progesterone increased [Ca2+]i and InsP3 formation within 5 s in both cell types. Progesterone induced calcium mobilization from the endoplasmic reticulum via the activation of a phospholipase C linked to a pertussis-insensitive G-protein. This process was controlled by protein kinases C and A. In contrast, only nonluteinized pGCs showed a Ca2+ influx via dihydropyridine-insensitive calcium channel. In both cell types, the nuclear progesterone receptor antagonist RU-38486 did not inhibit the progesterone-induced increase in [Ca2+]i, progesterone immobilized on bovine serum albumin, which did not enter the cell, increased [Ca2+]i within 5 s and was a full agonist, but less potent than the free progesterone; pertussis toxin did not inhibit progesterone effect on InsP3. In conclusion, progesterone may interact with membrane unconventional receptors that belong to the class of membrane receptors coupled to a phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein. The source of the Ca2+ for the progesterone-induced increase in [Ca2+]i also depends on the stage of cell luteinization.

Abstract
The influences on the depth of extinction of the inward current induced by acetylcholine (the ACh-current) of a number of compounds affecting the mobilization of stored Ca2+ and the intracellular level of Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messengers, namely, inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), inositol hexakisphosphate, TMB-8 (an inhibitor of (IP3)-dependent Ca2+ mobilization), tetracaine (an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-dependant mobilization of Ca2+), as well as phospholipase D, which leads to the formation of phosphatidic acid through the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine, were investigated in identified RPa3 and LPa3 neurons of the common snail using the two-electrode voltage clamp technique for the recording of the potential on the membrane. The participation of IP3, of IP3-dependant, and Ca(2+)-dependant mobilized intracellular Ca2+, as well as phosphatidic acid in the regulation of the plasticity of the cholinoreceptors of the neurons was demonstrated.

Abstract
Activation of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in neonatal cardiac myocytes results in changes in contractile activity and the induction of hypertrophic growth. The biochemical mechanisms responsible for these diverse effects are not yet established, but presumably involve the associated alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis, with concomitant generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3 and diacylglycerol. This study examined whether alpha 1-adrenergic generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3 in intact, quiescent, neonatal cardiac myocytes resulted in a Ca2+ signal. Stimulation of myocytes with norepinephrine in the presence of propranolol caused accumulation of inositol mono-, bis and trisphosphates. However, alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation did not alter cytosolic free Ca2+ levels in 85% of the myocytes examined. Direct generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3, by photolysis of microinjected caged Ins 1,4,5-P3, was also unable to alter cytosolic free Ca2+ levels, despite the presence of Ins 1,4,5-P3 receptors. Taken together, these data indicated that alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation did not initiate Ca2+ signaling because Ins 1,4,5-P3-induced Ca2+ mobilization was not operative in quiescent neonatal cardiac myocytes. Normal excitation-contraction Ca2+ handling mechanisms were present in these cells, as illustrated by depolarization- and caffeine-induced Ca2+ transients. Analysis of these same myocytes following 48 h in the presence of norepinephrine and propranolol showed a 40% increase in the ratio of protein to DNA and a 350% increase in release of atrial naturietic factor, compared to control cells, indicating the normal operation of alpha 1-adrenergic-induced hypertrophic growth. Therefore, the assumption that Ca(2+)-dependent processes will be activated by receptor signaling pathways coupled to enhanced phosphatidylinositol turnover in cardiac cells must be avoided. In addition, the data presented in this study clearly indicated that an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ was not necessary for the induction of alpha 1-adrenergic-mediated cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
By virtue of their biological simplicity and widespread availability, platelets frequently have been used as a model system to study signal transduction. Such studies have revealed that changes in intracellular free calcium concentration are central to platelet functioning. The following article reviews current concepts of platelet structure and function, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms involved in platelet Ca2+ signalling.

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
For many years the main strategies in the development of anticancer drugs were focused on killing tumour cells by means of agents which are blockers of transcription or translocation. However, it is evident that the currently available anticancer drugs, mainly antimetabolites and alkylating agents, cannot cure the most common types of cancer in adults. Therefore, totally new approaches are necessary in cancer chemotherapy research; one of these is disturbing cell signalling pathways involved in growth and malignant transformation. Several studies have concentrated on mechanisms of cell growth and differentiation, control through growth factor receptors and their ligands, oncogenes, proto-oncogenes and other membrane-associated signaling mechanisms. This paper discusses the potential targets in these signaling pathways for novel anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Estrogen deficiency is associated with bone loss, and estrogen replacement is an effective treatment of this osteoporotic process. This study examines the early (5-120 s) effects of 17 beta-estradiol on the intracellular calcium and phospholipid metabolism in confluent female rat osteoblasts. The cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was determined using fura-2/AM as Ca2+ probe. Cells were labeled with myo-[2-3H]inositol or [14C]arachidonic acid for inositol or lipid determination. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) production were determined by either mass measurement or anion-exchange chromatography or by thin-layer chromatography, respectively. 17 beta-Estradiol (1 pM to 1 nM) increased [Ca2+]i in a biphasic manner within 10 s via Ca2+ influx from the extracellular milieu, as shown by the effects of the calcium chelator EGTA and the Ca2+ channel blockers nifedipine and verapamil, and via Ca2+ mobilization from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as shown by the effects of thapsigargin. 17 beta-Estradiol (1 pM to 1 nM) induced a biphasic and concomitant increase in IP3 and DAG formation. Estradiol immobilized on bovine serum albumin (BSA) [E-(O-carboxymethyl)oxime BSA] and its derivative (O-carboxymethyl)oxime rapidly increased ([Ca2+]i, IP3, and DAG and were full agonists, although they were less potent than the free estradiol. They had the same action time course and acted via Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ mobilization from ER. Tamoxifen, a potent inhibitor of genomic steroid responses, did not block the rapid increase in Ca2+, IP3, and DAG induced by estradiol. Finally, inhibitor of phospholipase C (neomycin) and pertussis toxin abolished the effects of 17 beta-estradiol on IP3 and DAG formation. These results suggest that female rat osteoblasts bear non-genomic unconventional cell surface receptors for estradiol, belonging to the class of the membrane receptors coupled to a phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein.

Abstract
For the last 5 years, attention has focused on the nongenomic effects of 1,25-(OH)2D3, but considerably less is known about the mechanisms of the nonnuclear actions of 24,25-(OH)2D3. The present study examines and compares the rapid (5-90 s) effects of 100 pM to 10 nM 24,25-(OH)2D3, 10 pM to 1 nM 1,25-(OH)2D3, and 1-100 nM 25-OHD3 on the formation of inositol phosphates and lipids in confluent mouse osteoblasts. 24,25-(OH)2D3 and 25-OHD3 effects were dose dependent; those of 1,25-(OH)2D3 were dose dependent in a bell-shaped manner. The two dihydroxylated metabolites induced a multiphasic response in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) formation with three stimulation peaks; the IP3 response to 25-OHD3 was monophasic. The amplitude of the IP3 response to 24,25-(OH)2D3 was greater and its oscillation period was slower than that induced by 1,25-(OH)2D3. The diacylglycerol (DAG) responses to secosteroids showed two stimulation peaks that appeared at different times depending on the secosteroid used. Pretreatment with neomycin totally inhibited the first DAG response; neomycin had no effect on the second peak of DAG induced by 25-OHD3, whereas it partially blocked the second response of DAG to 24,25-(OH)2D3 and 1,25-(OH)2D3. These data show for the first time that 24,25-(OH)2D3 can modulate phospholipid metabolism in confluent mouse osteoblasts as early as 5-10 s. The first pathway used by all three secosteroids is that of the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate via phospholipase C activation, leading to the formation of the two second messengers, IP3 and DAG, since neomycin totally blocked the response. Thus, the action of these secosteroids on the osteoblast membrane may also implicate several steps of the phosphatidylcholine cycle, according to the metabolite tested. Finally, these data point to a direct interaction of vitamin D metabolites with specific membrane recognition moieties.

Abstract
Cells expand energy to lower the concentration of free calcium in the cytosol ([Ca2+]i) to a very low level. Extracellular Ca2+ entering via channels situated in the plasma membrane is expelled into the extracellular medium by a Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-ATPase or by Na(+)-Ca2+ exchangers. The Ca2+ that enters the cell is sequestered, once inside the cytosol, by a Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-ATPase, which concentrates Ca2+ in specialized domains of the endoplasmic reticulum. The nucleus and the mitochondria also concentrate Ca2+, but less efficiently. The stimulation of numerous receptors by hormones, growth factors and neurotransmitters coupled to GTP-binding proteins provokes a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i by mobilizing Ca2+ from intra- and extracellular compartments. Membrane coupling is ensured by the activation of a phospholipase C-beta, which hydrolyses a doubly phosphorylated phosphoinositide, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). The inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (InsP3) consequently formed binds to a receptor consisting in 4 homologous of 250 kDa each. The InsP3 receptor has been localized to a specialized region, rich in Ca2+, of the endoplasmic reticulum. The receptor has been purified and its sequence obtained. Reincorporated into planar bilayers, it displays the properties of a channel. In the cell, opening of the InsP3 receptor-channel provokes the release of the Ca2+ accumulated within the endoplasmic reticulum. Analyzing the kinetics of channel opening by the methods of rapid mixing, rapid filtration or flash photolysis of caged InsP3 has revealed that InsP3 opens the channel within a very short time, probably less than 30 msec. The InsP3 receptor-channel is autoregenerative. With the sustained stimulation of a Ca2+ influx the release of Ca2+ leads to an augmentation of [Ca2+]i, which is responsible for triggering cellular responses. The complexity of Ca2+ signals produced by stimulated cells has been revealed by studies in which highly effective techniques have been used to detect Ca2+ ions in the cytosol, such as bioluminescent proteins, fluorescent indicators or ionic currents sensitive to Ca2+. It appears that variations in [Ca2+]i induced by stimulation consist of oscillations of which the frequency, but not the amplitude, depends on the concentration of the hormone. Moreover, by summing the images picked up with a video recorder, it has been possible to demonstrate the changes in [Ca2+]i at the subcellular level and the waves of Ca2+ in stimulated cells.

1. The rapid and transient redistribution of Ca2+ from intracellular membrane-bound compartments (stores) is a key event of cell activation. 2. The cytological nature and molecular composition of such Ca2+ stores have been the object of intense investigation in recent years. 3. Here we review: (a) the current knowledge on intracellular Ca2+ stores of Purkinje neurons at the functional, biochemical, molecular, morphological and ultrastructural level; and discuss: (b) the relationship between Ca2+ stores and the endoplasmic reticulum, and (c) the occurrence of multiple/heterogeneous Ca2+ stores.

Abstract
The accumulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) after hormonal stimulation has a physiological role, possibly by alteration of Ca2+ levels in cardiac myocyte. However, this accumulation has not been studied under pathophysiological conditions. In this report, we examine phosphatidylinositol metabolism during cellular response to norepinephrine in pressure-overloaded hypertrophic rat heart. After stimulation with norepinephrine, the accumulations of IP3 and diacylglyceride significantly increased in isolated myocytes from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) heart, indicating phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activity increased in SHRSP heart cells. Protein kinase C activity was also enhanced in SHRSP, with a marked increase in particulate activity. We determined the intracellular calcium concentration and found it to be higher in SHRSP than in Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats at 30-40 weeks of age. Ca2+ influx was also elevated in SHRSP stimulated by norepinephrine. In SHRSP heart, cytosolic Ca2+ concentration may rise quickly in response to some stimuli, such as alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation, which is shown to be one of the pathways that increases cytosolic Ca2+ levels in hypertrophied rat heart. These data suggest that a part of the phosphatidylinositol-turnover pathway, such as the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-IP3-Ca2+ pathway or the diacylglyceride-protein kinase C pathway, may play an important role in the development of hypertrophy in SHRSP heart.

Abstract
The control exerted by intralumenal and cytosolic Ca2+ on InsP3-induced release of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca2+ pools in suspensions of saponin-permeabilised rat hepatocytes was investigated by combined Quin-2 and 45Ca2+ measurements at 20 degrees C. We failed to detect a major effect of intralumenal Ca2+ in regulating this release, as various manipulations in which the load of the Ca2+ pools was varied by a factor of two did not significantly affect the apparent relative efficiency of InsP3 in releasing Ca2+; these manipulations included loading the Ca2+ pools up to various steady state levels by preliminary equilibration at various external free Ca2+ concentrations, as well as emptying them progressively through the blockade of pump-mediated Ca2+ uptake. As regards Ca2+ on the cytosolic side, in contrast with recent results obtained with other systems, we found that, at maximal doses, InsP3-induced Ca2+ release was not stimulated by raising Ca2+ from very low to submicromolar or micromolar concentrations, and that only relatively high concentrations of free Ca2+ inhibited this release (half-maximal inhibition was between 3 and 15 microM). Such elevated Ca2+ concentrations reduced the size of the InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ pool. We also noted that the apparent cooperativity of InsP3 activation of release at pCa 5 was noticeably less than that observed at pCa 7. As a result, at low InsP3 concentrations, a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ from pCa 7 to pCa 5 stimulated InsP3-mediated Ca2+ release. These results are discussed in the context of the current speculations about tissue specificity, heterogeneity, quantal release, oscillations, and the several different mechanisms that may control InsP3-induced Ca2+ release.

Abstract
Fura-2 loaded rat hepatocytes were used to determine whether the L-type channel blockers, verapamil and diltiazem, affect receptor-operated calcium channels (ROCCs). The flux through ROCCs was followed by quenching of fura-2 fluorescence due to the influx of extracellular Mn2+ induced by vasopressin. Verapamil as well as diltiazem inhibited vasopressin-stimulated Mn2+ influx in a dose-dependent manner up to 60% at concentrations of 200-400 microM. Furthermore, both inhibitors decreased significantly the frequency of phenylephrine-induced oscillation of [Ca2+]i. The experimental findings indicate that L-type channel blockers inhibit ROCCs in rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
1. MgATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake by microsomes obtained from various non-hepatic tissues, namely rat brain, rat solid Morris hepatoma 3924A and human platelets, was measured in the presence of P(i) at low, cytosol-like, concentrations. 2. Increasing P(i) concentrations (0.5-3 mM) caused a progressive enlargement of the 45Ca(2+)-storage capacity of all the microsomal fractions. 3. As a result of P(i) stimulation of Ca2+ uptake, 45Ca2+ and [32P]P(i) were co-accumulated by the three microsomal fractions. 4. The time course for 45Ca2+ and [32P]P(i) accumulation in brain microsomes revealed a biphasic 45Ca2+ uptake: a rapid phase was followed by a second, slower, phase, which depended on the presence of P(i). During the P(i)-dependent phase, the uptake of 45Ca2+ was paralleled by the uptake of [32P]Pi. 5. The passive efflux of Ca2+ was paralleled by the efflux of P(i) and vice versa. In fact, the inhibition of active Ca2+ uptake by excess EGTA, or lowering the P(i) concentration of the incubation system by dilution, caused the release of 45Ca2+ and [32P]P(i) from 45Ca2+ or [32P]P(i) pre-loaded brain microsomes. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 also released 45Ca2+ and [32P]P(i). 6. Ca2+ efflux by A23187 was rapid (t 1/2 approx. 2 s) and independent of the extent of intravesicular Ca2+ loading, which indicates that Ca2+ and P(i) do not form intravesicular insoluble complexes. 7. The progressive increase in Ca2+ accumulation, depending on P(i) stimulation, resulted in a proportional increase in the amount of Ca2+ releasable by InsP3 in the three non-hepatic microsomal fractions and in digitonin-permeabilized platelets. 8. Concomitantly to Ca2+, microsomal P(i) was also released by InsP3.

Abstract
Protein 4.1 is a multifunctional structural protein occupying a strategic position in the erythrocyte membrane. It is present in the erythrocyte membrane skeleton and in many nonerythroid cells. This report describes a novel method for purifying this protein based on its selective interaction with inositol hexaphosphate dimagnesium tetrapotassium salt. This interaction was discovered in the course of chromatography of high-salt extract of inside-out membrane vesicles on Procion orange MX-2R-Sepharose. The new procedure is simple and selective and produces protein 4.1 with better yield than that obtained with a previously published procedure. The purified protein 4.1 has the same immunoreactivity and the same alpha-chymotryptic digest profile as protein 4.1 purified by published methods and is fully functional in enhancing the interaction between F-actin and spectrin dimers.

Abstract
When segments of rat tail artery were labeled with [3H]inositol and then stimulated with norepinephrine (NE), the inositol phosphates produced were primarily IP and IP2, together with a small but significant amount of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and a very small amount of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. It has been unclear in many studies whether or not the relatively large levels of IP and IP2 produced in [3H]inositol-labeled tissue represent indirect products of phosphatidyl inositol(4,5)bis phosphate breakdown (through Ins(1,4,5)P3) or direct products of phosphatidyl inositol 4 monophosphate and phosphatidyl inositol breakdown. In order to answer this question tail artery segments were prelabeled with [3H]inositol and then permeabilized with beta escin and stimulated with norepinephrine and GTP gamma S, so that increases in IP, IP2, and Ins(1,4,5)P3 were still observed. If these permeable segments were stimulated with agonist in the presence of compounds known to inhibit Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase, such as glucose 6P, (2,3)diphosphoglycerate, or Ins(1,4,5)P3, the levels of labeled Ins(1,4,5)P3 and labeled IP2 were increased, while the level of stimulated labeled IP was unchanged. This indicated that some of the IP2 and IP formed in these cells was produced from PIP2 but that some of these compounds might be formed from PIP or PI. When the isomers of inositol monophosphate, Ins 1P and Ins 4P, were separated by HPLC, it was shown that after prelabeled tail artery was stimulated by norepinephrine for periods of 1-2 min, the predominant isomer formed was Ins 4P, indicating either PIP2 or PIP as the source. However, after 5-20 min stimulation, both Ins 1P and Ins 4P were formed in equal amounts, suggesting that during sustained stimulation of smooth muscle PI itself was broken down directly. Therefore it appears that within 1-2 min of norepinephrine addition to vascular smooth muscle the bulk of the IP and IP2 produced are derived from PIP2 via IP3, while after 20 min of norepinephrine treatment much of the IP comes directly from PI. This suggests that the regulation of PLC in this tissue is more complicated than has been previously believed.

Abstract
In A-431 cells, platelet-activating factor (PAF) induces the expression of c-fos and TIS-1 genes in both the absence and the presence of cycloheximide in a structurally specific and receptor-coupled manner. We have now investigated the molecular mechanisms of this response, particularly in relation to the role of protein kinases. Pretreatment of cells with genistein or methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) or staurosporine (a protein kinase C inhibitor) for 20 min abolished the c-fos expression induced by PAF. Interestingly, when genistein was added 90 s after addition of PAF, no inhibition was observed. Similarly, staurosporine did not inhibit c-fos expression when added 8 min after PAF addition to the cells. These inhibitions were dose-dependent (IC50 for staurosporine was 180 nM, and for genistein 50 microM). Simultaneous addition of PAF and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) did not give a synergistic effect on c-fos expression. Pretreatment of cells with PMA had no effect on [3H]PAF binding, but abolished the PAF-induced gene expression. PAF-stimulated gene expression was desensitized if cells were pretreated with PAF. Interestingly, epidermal growth factor was able to stimulate c-fos expression in PAF-desensitized cells, and thus indicated involvement of distinct mechanisms for the two stimuli. Forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, did not induce c-fos expression and had no effect on the PAF response. Exposure of cells to PAF for as little as 1 min, followed by its removal, was sufficient to activate the gene expression and demonstrated the rapidity and the exquisite nature of the signalling involved in this process. It is concluded that activation of PAF receptor (a proposed G-protein-coupled receptor) causes rapid production of signals which induce the expression of c-fos gene and that this is mediated via tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C.

Abstract
1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-allyl-myo-inositol was converted into the 2,5-di-O-benzyl- and 2,5-di-O-p-methoxybenzyl ethers, and the products were deallylated to give the 2,5-di-O-benzyl (and p-methoxybenzyl) ethers of myo-inositol, which were converted into the mono-O-isopropylidene derivatives. Both the 2,5-di-O-benzyl ether and its mono-O-isopropylidene derivative were converted into the crystalline octa(2-cyanoethyl) ester of 2,5-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate. (+-)-1,3,4,5-Tetra-O-allyl-myo-inositol was converted into (+-)-2,4-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol which gave a separable mixture of the 1,6- and 5,6-O-isopropylidene derivatives. The 1,6-O-isopropylidene derivative was resolved via (-)- and (+)-omega-camphanates and was also converted into (+-)-2,6-di-O-benzyl-1,5-di-O-p-methoxybenzyl-myo-inositol, which was resolved via the (-)-omega-camphanates. The 5,6-O-isopropylidene derivative and 1,3-di-O-allyl-myo-inositol were converted into (+-)-1,3-di-O-allyl-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol, which was resolved as the (-)-omega-camphanates. 1D-1,3,4,5-Tetra-O-allyl-myo-inositol and the above described, relevant diaste reoisomers were converted into 1D-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol which gave the syrupy octabenzyl ester of 1D-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate.

Abstract
The protein precursors of the schistosome eggshell are synthesized and packaged into secretory vesicles in the vitelline cells. These vesicles appear to contain an emulsion of eggshell precursor material. Evidence is presented to show that these secretory vesicles are acidic as in other systems and that this acidity stabilizes the emulsion and prevents the eggshell cross-linking reactions from occurring. Alkalinizing treatments trigger eggshell formation within the secretory vesicles as shown by (1) the induction of autofluorescence and (2) by electron microscopy which shows that the eggshell precursors have aggregated within the secretory vesicles into spherical particles bearing microspines. These aggregates formed in the secretory vesicles were isolated and shown to have the same protease resistance and amino acid composition as authentic eggshell. The calcium ionophore A23187 induces scattered autofluorescence in intact female worms which electron micrographs show to be due to exocytosis of eggshell material. Based on these observations we propose a model for the formation of schistosome eggshell and suggest that it may apply to all trematodes in which the eggshell precursors are present as stable emulsions in the secretory vesicles of the vitelline cells.

Abstract
Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 induced a rapid sequestration of Ca2+ into both secretory vesicles and microsomes of bovine adrenal medulla. The Ca(2+)-sequestering role of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 contrasts with the Ca(2+)-releasing role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in adrenal-medullary secretory vesicles and microsomes. The Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-induced Ca2+ sequestration into secretory vesicles was not inhibited by heparin (50 micrograms/ml), whereas Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release was completely inhibited, indicating two different receptors for Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Furthermore, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was as effective at 4 degrees C as at 24 degrees C in sequestering Ca2+ into secretory vesicles, implying Ca2+ sequestration through receptor-operated Ca2+ channels or activation of the Ca(2+)-exchange mechanism by Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. The Ca(2+)-sequestering activity of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 has also been demonstrated with 45Ca2+; 10 microM-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 induced rapid uptake of 45Ca2+ into secretory vesicles optimized for Ca2+ uptake, whereas 10 microM-Ins(1,4,5)P3 induced 45Ca2+ release from secretory vesicles in similar experiments.

Abstract
1. The modulation by Ca2+ of the activation by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) of Ca2+ channels present in native sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes from frog skeletal muscle was studied after channel incorporation into planar phospholipid bilayers in the presence of Ca2+ or Ba2+ as current carrier species. 2. Channel activity expressed as fractional open time (Po) was low (less than or equal to 0.15) in the presence of varying free Ca2+ concentrations bathing the myoplasmic face of the channel (cis side), and did not increase significantly between 0.01 and 30 microM-Ca2+. 3. Channel activation mediated by IP3 could be elicited from free Ca2+ levels similar to those of resting skeletal muscle (about 0.1 microM) and was found to be strongly regulated by the free Ca2+ concentration present at the myoplasmic moiety of the channel. 4. Channel activation by 10 microM-IP3 depended on the Ca2+ concentration on the cis side. Po reached a maximum between pCa 7.0 and 6.0, but decreased at higher concentrations of free Ca2+. Thus, Ca2+ exerted a modulatory influence on IP3-mediated activation in a concentration range where the channel was insensitive to Ca2+. 5. The results indicate that Ca2+ ions act as modulators of IP3 efficacy to open the channel. This could arise from an interaction of Ca2+ with the channel gating mechanism or with the agonist binding site.

Abstract
The relationship between gastrin-stimulated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) content and [14C]aminopyrine ([14C]AP) uptake (an index of in vitro acid secretion) was investigated in a population of highly enriched rabbit parietal cells (90 +/- 5%). Gastrin induced a rapid rise in Ins(1,4,5)P3 content which was maximal within 15 s of stimulation (2- to 2.5-fold basal level) followed by a rapid decrease within 30 s; a high Ins(1,4,5)P3 level could also be observed after a longer time of hormone stimulation (180 s). Gastrin dose-dependently induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation and [14C]AP uptake; both dose-response curves were similar (EC50 approximately 0.1 nM). Furthermore, L-365,260 (3-(acylamino)benzodiazepine), a selective gastrin/CCK-B receptor antagonist, dose-dependently inhibited Ins(1,4,5)P3 production and [14C]AP accumulation induced by 10 nM gastrin with a similar potency (IC50 approximately 1-2 nM). These results led us to conclude that Ins(1,4,5)P3 is involved in gastrin-stimulated acid secretory activity of gastric parietal cells.

Abstract
1. The properties of specific Ins(1,4,5)P3- and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-binding sites have been compared in a crude 'P2' cerebellar membrane fraction. 2. A homogeneous population of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding sites was present (KD 23.1 +/- 3.6 nM) at high density (Bmax. 11.9 +/- 1.8 pmol/mg of protein); whereas data obtained for [32P]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 specific binding were best fitted to a two-site model, the high-affinity binding component (KD 2.6 +/- 0.7 nM) constituted 64.2 +/- 4.3% of the total population and was present at relatively low density (Bmax. 187 +/- 27 fmol/mg of protein). 3. The two high-affinity inositol polyphosphate-binding sites exhibited markedly different pH optima for radioligand binding, allowing the two sites to be independently investigated. At pH 8.0, [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding was maximal, whereas [32P]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 specific binding was very low; conversely, at pH 5.0, [32P]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 binding was maximal, whereas [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding was undetectably low. 4. Both inositol polyphosphate-binding sites exhibited marked positional and stereo-specificity. Of the analogues studied, only phosphorothioate substitution to form inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphorothioate was tolerated at the Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding site, with only a 2-3-fold loss of binding activity. Addition of a glyceroyl moiety at the 1-phosphate position or addition of further phosphate substituents at the 3- or 6-positions caused dramatic losses in displacing activity. Similarly, complete phosphorothioate substitution of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 caused an approx. 6-fold loss of binding activity at the [32P]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-binding site, whereas Ins(1,4,5,6)P4, Ins(1,3,4,6)P4, Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 were bound at least 100-fold weaker at this site. Therefore, only the phosphorothioate derivatives retained high affinity and selectivity for the two inositol polyphosphate-binding sites. 5. Heparin and pentosan polysulphate were potent but non-selective inhibitors at Ins(1,4,5)P3- and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-binding sites. N-Desulphation (with or without N-reacetylation) of heparin decreased inhibitory activity at the Ins(1,4,5)P3-, but not at the Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-binding site; however, the selectivity of this effect was only about 4-fold. O- and N-desulphated N-reacetylated heparin was essentially inactive at both sites. 6. The results are discussed with respect to the separate identities of the inositol polyphosphate-binding sites.

Abstract
1. The actions of the putative second messenger inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4) were studied by injecting it into voltage-clamped oocytes while recording Ca(2+)-dependent chloride membrane currents and, in some experiments, fluorescence signals from Ca2+ indicators. 2. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 evoked a rise in intracellular Ca2+ and associated chloride current in oocytes bathed in normal or Ca(2+)-free Ringer solutions. The fluorescence Ca2+ signal showed a prolonged rise with superimposed oscillations, whereas the current reflected only the oscillatory component. 3. Injections of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) evoked currents showing an initial transient, followed by oscillations. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 evoked similar oscillations, but the transient component was usually small or absent. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was about 20-fold less potent than Ins(1,4,5)P3, as measured by comparing doses required to elicit currents with the same integral. The most sensitive oocytes responded to about 1 fmol Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and 0.1 fmol Ins(1,4,5)P3. 4. Injections of Ins(2,4,5)P4 evoked oscillatory currents, with a potency about three times greater than Ins(1,4,5)P3. Ins(1,3,4)P4 was ineffective in some oocytes even at doses of several picomoles, but in other oocytes evoked small transient and oscillatory currents with a potency 100 times or more less than Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. 5. Injections of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 made into the animal hemisphere of the oocyte evoked larger currents than injections into the vegetal hemisphere. 6. Photo-release of Ins(1,4,5)P3 from caged Ins(1,4,5)P4 loaded into the oocyte was used to examine interactions between Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Injection of low (ca 1 fmol) doses of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 shortly before a light flash greatly facilitated currents evoked by photo-release of near-threshold amounts of Ins(1,4,5)P3. This facilitation was unaffected by removal of extracellular Ca2+ and arose because Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 reduced the threshold amount of Ins(1,4,5)P3 required to evoke a response. 7. Larger amounts (several femtomoles) of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 depressed responses evoked by photo-release of Ins(1,4,5)P3. This may arise because Ca2+ liberated by Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 inhibits the ability of Ins(1,4,5)P3 to release further Ca2+. 8. We conclude that Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 liberates intracellular Ca2+ in the oocyte in a manner similar to that of Ins(1,4,5)P3, and suggest that a physiological role for Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 may be to facilitate responses to Ins(1,4,5)P3.

Abstract
Recent studies at the single cell level have demonstrated hitherto unsuspected complexities in the organization of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in both the temporal and spatial domains. Activation of receptors coupled to the phosphoinositide signalling system has been shown to generate [Ca2+]i oscillations in many cell types. These oscillations display diverse patterns, with variations in oscillation amplitude, latency and frequency which are often tissue and/or agonist dose specific. Furthermore, increases in [Ca2+]i can either occur uniformly or originate from a specific region and propagate throughout the cell in the form of a Ca2+ wave. The significance and underlying mechanisms responsible for these phenomena are discussed.

Abstract
1. MgATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by rat liver microsomal preparations and permeabilized hepatocytes was measured in the presence or absence of Pi. 2. Monitoring of free Ca2+ in incubation systems with a Ca2+ electrode in the presence of Pi (2-7 mM) revealed a biphasic Ca2+ uptake, with the onset of a second, Pi-dependent, Ca2+ accumulation. 3. Increasing Pi concentrations (up to 10 mM) caused a progressive enlargement of 45Ca2(+)-loading capacity of microsomal fractions. 4. As a result of Pi stimulation of active Ca2+ uptake, [32P]Pi and 45Ca2+ were co-accumulated. 5. Experiments with permeabilized hepatocytes revealed that the amount of Ca2+ releasable by myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is unaffected by Pi.

Abstract
Inositol-polyphosphate-induced Ca2+ mobilization was investigated in saponin-permeabilized SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. Ins(1,4,5)P3 induced a dose-related release from intracellular Ca2+ stores with an EC50 (concn. giving half-maximal effect) of 0.1 microM and a maximal release of 70%. Ins(1,3,4)P3, DL-Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 and Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 did not evoke Ca2+ mobilization in these cells when used at concentrations up to 10 microM. However, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was found to release Ca2+ in a dose-related manner, but the response was dependent on the source of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 used. When commercially available D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was used, the EC50 and maximal response values were 1 microM and 50% respectively, compared with values for chemically synthesized DL-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 of 2 microM and 25%. The enhanced maximal response of commercial D-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was decreased by pretreatment with rat brain crude Ins(1,4,5)P3 3-kinase and was therefore concluded to be indicative of initial Ins(1,4,5)P3 contamination of the Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 preparation. When metabolism of DL-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 (10 microM) in these cells at 25 degrees C was investigated by h.p.l.c., substantial amounts of Ins(1,4,5)P3 (0.2 microM) and Ins(1,3,4)P3 (0.8 microM) were found to be produced within 3 min. Analysis of DL-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 incubation with cells at 4 degrees C, however, indicated that metabolism had been arrested ([3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 detection limits were estimated to be approx. 0.01 microM). When chemically synthesized DL-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and incubation conditions of low temperature were used, the Ca2(+)-releasing properties of this compound were established to be 1 microM and 19% for the EC50 and maximal response values respectively. The results obtained strongly suggest that Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 alone has the ability to release intracellular Ca2+. However, in the presence of sub-maximal concentrations of Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ca2+ release appears to be synergistic with Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, but at supramaximal concentrations not even additive effects are observed.

Abstract
The discovery of the second-messenger functions of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol, the products of hormone-stimulated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis, marked a turning point in studies of hormone function. This review focuses on the myo-inositol moiety which is involved in an increasingly complex network of metabolic interconversions, myo-Inositol metabolites identified in eukaryotic cells include at least six glycerophospholipid isomers and some 25 distinct inositol phosphates which differ in the number and distribution of phosphate groups around the inositol ring. This apparent complexity can be simplified by assigning groups of myo-inositol metabolites to distinct functional compartments. For example, the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase pathway functions to generate inositol phospholipids that are substrates for hormone-sensitive forms of inositol-phospholipid phospholipase C, whilst the newly discovered phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway generates lipids that are resistant to such enzymes and may function directly as novel mitogenic signals. Inositol phosphate metabolism functions to terminate the second-messenger activity of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, to recycle the latter's myo-inositol moiety and, perhaps, to generate additional signal molecules such as inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, inositol pentakisphosphate and inositol hexakisphosphate. In addition to providing a more complete picture of the pathways of myo-inositol metabolism, recent studies have made rapid progress in understanding the molecular basis underlying hormonal stimulation of inositol-phospholipid-specific phospholipase C and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated Ca2+ mobilisation.
