Abstract
We previously reported the emerging role of CD137-CD137L interaction in inflammation and atherosclerosis. The mechanism of CD137-CD137L interaction may be related to a variety of signaling pathways. The most important signaling pathway involves the activation of phospholipase C(PLC) which induces the diacylglycerol-protein kinase C(DAG-PKC) and the inositol trisphosphate-intracellular free calcium (IP3-[Ca(2+)]i) pathway. In the current study, we investigated whether CD137-CD137L interaction can stimulate the PLC signaling pathway in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) levels in HUVEC were measured by radioenzymatic assay. The activity of protein kinase (PKC) was detected by its ability to transfer phosphate from [γ-(32)P]ATP to lysine-rich histone. The [Ca(2+)]i concentrations were measured by flow cytometric analysis. The DAG level and PKC activity were increased in a concentration-dependent, biphasic manner in HUVEC induced by anti-CD137. PKC activity was mainly in the cytosol at rest, and then translocated to the membrane when stimulated by anti-CD137. Similarly, rapid IP3 formation induced by anti-CD137 coincided with the peak of the DAG level. Moreover, anti-CD137 induced peak [Ca(2+)]i responses including the rapid transient phase and the sustained phase. However, anti-CD137L suppressed the activation of the DAG-PKC and IP3-[Ca(2+)]i signaling pathway, which was stimulated by anti-CD137 in HUVEC. In conclusion, the data suggested that CD137-CD137L interaction induces robust activation of the PLC signaling pathway in HUVEC.

Abstract
The effects of bradykinin on nicotine-induced responses were investigated in neurons dissociated from rat paratracheal ganglia using the nystatin-perforated patch-clamp recording technique. When bradykinin (10(-9) to 10(-8) M) was pretreated and then simultaneously applied with 10(-5) M nicotine, bradykinin potentiated the nicotine-induced currents. The potentiation was mimicked by [Hyp3]-bradykinin and inhibited by HOE-140, pertussis toxin, neomycin and U-73122, but not U-73433. These results suggest that bradykinin potentiates nicotinic currents via bradykinin B2 receptor, pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein and phospholipase C. Since bradykinin inhibits the M-current via bradykinin B2 receptor and pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein [Mochidome, T., Ishibashi, H., Takahama, K., 2001. Bradykinin activates airway parasympathetic ganglion neurons by inhibiting M-currents. Neuroscience 105, 785-791.], it seemed that bradykinin B2 receptor activated two distinct signal transduction pathways in the paratracheal ganglia neurons. This effect of bradykinin might cause enhanced synaptic transmission in paratracheal ganglia neurons and contribute to the aggravation of pathological conditions of the lower airway via enhanced acetylcholine release from the postganglionic nerve terminals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence shows that CD40-CD40L interaction plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. The mechanism of CD40-CD40L interaction might be related to signal transduction via receptor. The transduction pathway of the CD40 receptor may involve the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) which induces the production of inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)) leading to the increase of the intracellular free calcium on one hand, and of diacylglycerol (DAG) which stimulates the translocation to the membrane of protein kinase C (PKC). METHODS Endothelial cells were isolated from human umbilical vein and incubated with indicated concentrations of CD40 ligand (CD40L) for various periods. The DAG levels in HUVEC were studied with radioenzymatic assay. Quantitative measurements of 32P phosphatidic acid were performed by thin-layer chromatography and autoradiography. IP(3) was quantitatively measured by the radioreceptor binding assay. The activity of PKC and [Ca(2+)]i induced by CD40L were measured by its ability to transfer phosphate from [gamma-32P]ATP to lysine-rich histone and flow cytometric analysis loading with the Ca(2+) dye fluo3/Am, respectively. RESULTS The DAG levels were raised by CD40L in a dose-dependent, biphasic manner. The early phase was rapid and transient, peaking at 20 s; and the late phase reached the maximal level at 10 min and then decayed slowly. CD40L increased the PKC total activity in a dose-dependent manner with phase peaking at 12 min, then decreased slowly and maintained for at least 20 min. The results also showed that CD40L induced PKC activity translocation from the cytosolic to membrane. Similarly, the CD40L-induced transient IP(3) formation was coincident with the first peak of DAG formation. Moreover, CD40L also induced biphasic [Ca(2+)]i responses including the rapid initial transient phase and the sustained phase. Anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody can significantly suppress CD40L-induced DAG-PKC and IP(3)-[Ca(2+)]i signal pathway activation in HUVEC. CONCLUSIONS CD40-CD40 ligand interaction can induce a robust stimulation of the DAG-PKC and inositol trisphosphate-Ca(2+) signal transduction pathway in HUVEC.

Abstract
Using Fluo-3 calcium dye confocal microscopy and spontaneously contracting embryonic chick heart cells, bradykinin (10(-10) M) was found to induce positive chronotropic effects by increasing the frequency of the transient increase of cytosolic and nuclear free Ca2+. Pretreatment of the cells with either B1 or B2 receptor antagonists (R126 and R817, respectively) completely prevented bradykinin (BK) induced positive chronotropic effects on spontaneously contracting single heart cells. Using the whole-cell voltage clamp technique and ionic substitution to separate the different ionic current species, our results showed that BK (10(-6) M) had no effect on fast Na+ inward current and delayed outward potassium current. However, both L- and T-type Ca2+ currents were found to be increased by BK in a dose-dependent manner (10(-10)-10(-7) M). The effects of BK on T- and L-type Ca2+ currents were partially blocked by the B1 receptor antagonist [Leu8]des-Arg9-BK (R592) (10(-7) M) and completely reversed by the B2 receptor antagonist D-Arg[Hyp3,D-Phe7,Leu8]BK (R-588) (10(-7) M) or pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PTX). These results demonstrate that BK induced a positive chronotropic effect via stimulation of T- and L-type Ca2+ currents in heart cells mainly via stimulation of B2 receptor coupled to PTX-sensitive G-proteins. The increase of both types of Ca2+ current by BK in heart cells may explain the positive inotropic and chronotropic effects of this hormone.

Abstract
Human serotonin 5A (5-HT5A) receptors were stably expressed in undifferentiated C6 glioma. In 5-HT5A receptors-expressing cells, accumulation of cAMP by forskolin was inhibited by 5-HT as reported previously. Pertussis toxin-sensitive inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase was also observed, indicating a decrease of cyclic ADP ribose, a potential intracellular second messenger mediating ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ mobilization. On the other hand, 5-HT-induced outward currents were observed using the patch-clamp technique in whole-cell configuration. The 5-HT-induced outward current was observed in 84% of the patched 5-HT5A receptor-expressing cells and was concentration-dependent. The 5-HT-induced current was inhibited when intracellular K+ was replaced with Cs+ but was not significantly inhibited by typical K+ channel blockers. The 5-HT-induced current was significantly attenuated by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) in the patch pipette. Depleting intracellular Ca2+ stores by application of caffeine or thapsigargin also blocked the 5-HT-induced current. Blocking G protein, the inositol triphosphate (IP3) receptor, or pretreatment with pertussis toxin, all inhibited the 5-HT-induced current. IP3 showed a transient increase after application of 5-HT in 5-HT5A receptor-expressing cells. It was concluded that in addition to the inhibition of cAMP accumulation and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, 5-HT5A receptors regulate intracellular Ca2+ mobilization which is probably a result of the IP3-sensitive Ca2+ store. These multiple signal transduction systems may induce complex changes in the serotonergic system in brain function.

Abstract
The bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor (BKB2R) has been shown to interact with the G alpha(q) subunit family. However, it has remained unclear whether this receptor also interacts with the G alpha(i) subunit family. To further resolve this issue, two antisense expression plasmids were generated. In these, the 5'-untranslated regions of rat G alpha(i2) and G alpha(i3) cDNAs were used as specific antisense templates. The plasmids were transfected into Rat-1 cells, which expressed a stably transfected rat BKB2R cDNA and bound BK with a Kd of approximately 3 nM. In these cells, the transfected BKB2R was fully linked to inositol phosphate production, arachidonic acid (ARA) release, and Ca2+ flux. A number of cell lines, each a G alpha(i2) or G alpha(i3) knockdown, were isolated. Of these, two cell lines were chosen for study. One, designated 2-E3, displayed over a 70% decrease in the expression of G alpha(i2) without a change in the expression of G alpha(i3) or G alpha(q). Another, 3-G9, exhibited over a 70% decrease of G alpha(i3) protein without a change in G alpha(i2) or G alpha(q) expression. Knockdown of either G alpha(i2) or G alpha(i3) protein production did not affect the binding of bradykinin. In the G alpha(i2)-depleted 2-E3 cells, BK induced ARA release was reduced by more than 60%. Interestingly, the production of total inositol phosphate in response to BK was also reduced by approximately 35%. However, G alpha(i2) knockdown had no significant effect on BK-induced Ca2+ influx. In the G alpha(i3)-depleted 3-G9 cells, BK-induced ARA release was decreased by over 50%. In this case [Ca2+]i increase in response to BK was reduced by over 50%. This knockdown also resulted in reduced BK-activated total inositol phosphate production. Moreover, cAMP augmented the BK-induced ARA release. Depletions of G alpha(i2) and G alpha(i3) further enhanced this cAMP-dependent BK induction of ARA release. Taken together, these results delineate direct interaction of the BKB2R with both G alpha(i2) and G alpha(i3) subunits in addition to the heretofore described interaction of BKB2R with the G alpha(q) subunit family.

Abstract
Physiological and pathological Ca2+ loads are thought to be taken up by mitochondria via a process dependent on aerobic metabolism. We sought to determine whether human diploid fibroblasts from a patient with an inherited defect in pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) exhibit a decreased ability to sequester cytosolic Ca2+ into mitochondria. Mobilization of Ca2+ stores with bradykinin (BK) increased the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) to comparable levels in control and PDH-deficient fibroblasts. In normal fibroblasts transfected with plasmid DNA encoding mitochondrion-targeted apoaequorin, BK elicited an increase in Ca2(+)-dependent aequorin luminescence corresponding to an increase in the mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]mt) of 2.0 +/- 0.2 microM. The mitochondrial uncoupling agent carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone blocked the BK-induced [Ca2+]mt increase, although it did not affect the [Ca2+]c transient. Basal [Ca2+]c and [Ca2+]mt in control and PDH-deficient cells were similar. However, confocal imaging of the potential-sensitive dye JC-1 indicated that the percentage of highly polarized mitochondria was reduced from 30 +/- 1% in normal cells to 19 +/- 2% in the PDH-deficient fibroblasts. BK-elicited [Ca2+]mt transients in PDH-deficient cells were reduced to 4% of control, indicating that PDH-deficient mitochondria have a decreased ability to take up cytosolic Ca2+. Thus cells with compromised aerobic metabolism have a reduced capacity to sequester Ca2+.

Abstract
The gene coding for the G-protein alphaq subunit was interrupted by homologous recombination in murine embryonic stem cells (alphaq-null ES cells) as detected by Southern analysis and reverse-transcriptase PCR. The bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor was stably transfected into wild-type (WT) alphai-2-null and alphaq-null ES cells. The B2 receptor bound BK with high affinity and mobilized Ca2+. BK also activated phospholipase C (PLC), as determined by total inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation in a Bordetella pertussis toxin- and genistein-insensitive manner. In WT and alphai-2-null ES cells, BK increased IP levels approx. 4-fold above baseline. Most interestingly, in alphaq-null ES cells, BK increased IP accumulation approx. 9-fold above baseline. Re-expression of alphaq in alphaq-null ES cells resulted in normalization of the BK-stimulated IP accumulation (4-fold above baseline). These results suggest that the B2 receptor activates PLC through more than one member of the Gq family. Additionally, the absence of alphaq alters the kinetics of IP generation, which may reflect intrinsic characteristics of individual members of the Gq family or a decreased susceptibility to heterologous regulation in the alphaq-null ES cells, thus allowing for a more sustained generation of IP.

Abstract
To delineate ligand binding and functional characteristics of the human B1 kinin receptor, a stable clone of Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing a single class of binding sites for [3H]des-Arg10-lysylbradykinin with a Kd of 0.3 nM and a Bmax of 38 fmol/mg protein ( approximately 40,000 receptors/cell) was isolated. Studies with peptide analogs showed that a lysine residue at position 1 (based on the lysylbradykinin sequence) of ligands was essential for high affinity binding to the human B1 receptor. In marked contrast to cloned Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the human kinin B2 receptor, which internalized approximately 80% of the ligand within 5 min upon exposure to 2 nM [3H]bradykinin, exposure of cells expressing the B1 receptor to 1 nM [3H]des-Arg10-lysylbradykinin resulted in minimal ligand internalization. Stimulation of the B1 receptor led to inositol phosphate generation and transient increases in intracellular calcium, confirming coupling to phospholipase C, while immunoprecipitation of photoaffinity-labeled G-proteins from membranes indicated specific coupling of the receptor to Galphaq/11 and Galphai1,2. The B1, unlike the B2, receptor does not desensitize (as demonstrated by continuous phosphoinositide hydrolysis), enhancing the potential role of this receptor during inflammatory events.

Abstract
To better understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie the exaggerated bradykinin (BK)-stimulated release of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in fibroblasts from Alzheimer patients, the role of G-proteins, protein kinase C (PKC) and cyclic AMP in BK-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation was determined. A role for G-proteins in the coupling of the BK receptor to intracellular signals was indicated by guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) enhanced BK-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 release. The coupling of G-proteins to Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation was sensitive to cholera toxin (CTX), but not pertussis toxin (PTX), and was not altered by PKC activation. The inhibition by CTX appeared to be secondary to its ability to increase cyclic AMP, because forskolin also inhibited the BK-mediated Ins (1,4,5)P3 release. Activation of PKC with TPA diminished the number of BK receptors by 33% and proportionally decreased BK-mediated Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation by 28%. The latter response was abolished by PKC inhibitors. Depletion of PKC by prolonged TPA treatment did not further alter the number of BK receptors but further decreased the Ins(1,4,5)P3 response by 65%. Thus, changes in PKC probably do not underlie the enhanced BK-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation in AD fibroblasts, because both activation and depletion of the PKC diminished the Ins(1,4,5)P3 response.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid NG 108-15 and neuroblastoma x fibroblast hybrid NL308 cells possess endogenous bradykinin B2 receptors and m4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), which couple to phospholipase C and adenylate cyclase, respectively. Four genetic subtypes of mAChRs differed in their effects when stimulated in NG108-15 and NL308 cells overexpressing mAChRs. Broadly speaking, the principal effects fell into two categories: the odd-numbered receptors (m1 and m3) activated phospholipase C and increased inositol trisphosphate/Ca2+, as bradykinin did, whereas the even-numbered receptors (m2 and m4) inhibited adenylate cyclase via a pertussis toxin (PTx)-sensitive G-protein in NG108-15 cells. But all four types of NL308 cells overexpressing each m1, m2, m3 and m4 receptor activated phospholipase C, while keeping the PTx-sensitivity in m2/m4, but not in m1/m3 receptors. Coupling to ion channel effectors showed a comparable dichotomy in NG108-15 cells, while cross-activation occurred in NL308 cells.

Abstract
1. Hypotonic stimulation (180 +/- 5 mosmol l-1) increased [Ca2+]i in fura-2-loaded Green monkey kidney cells (COS-7 cells) and depolarized the membrane. 2. COS-7 cells were depolarized up to -3.5 +/- 4.4 mV from a resting membrane potential of -35.2 +/- 2.3 mV in response to hypotonic stimulation, when the patch electrode was filled with a 160 mM KCl-0.5 mM EGTA-based intracellular medium. 3. The increase in [Ca2+]i induced by hypotonic stimulation was divided into two phases. One was transient and oscillatory, and observed in Ca(2+)-free medium; the other was persistent, blocked by 100 microM La3+, and observed only in Ca(2+)-containing medium. 4. The increase in [Ca2+]i in Ca(2+)-free medium was blocked by pretreatment with 10 microM thapsigargin. The increase in [Ca2+]i induced by 10 microM thapsigargin was reduced after hypotonic stimulation which induced an increase in [Ca2+]i in Ca(2+)-free medium. 5. The increase in [Ca2+]i in Ca(2+)-free medium was not affected by treatment with 5 mM caffeine or 1-10 microM ryanodine. Neither caffeine nor ryanodine induced an increase in [Ca2+]i. 6. Adenosine 5'-O-2-thiodiphosphate (ADP-beta-S; a P2Y receptor agonist) induced an increase in [Ca2+]i in Ca(2+)-free medium and caused phosphoinositide breakdown in COS-7 cells. Exposure to 10 microM ADP-beta-S blocked the increase in [Ca2+]i induced in the Ca(2+)-free medium by hypotonic stimulation. The results of summary points 4, 5, and 6 suggest that the increase in [Ca2+]i induced by hypotonic stimulation is due to Ca2+ release from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive internal stores. 7. The hypotonic stimulation-activated hydrolysis of phosphoinositides was decreased by pertussis toxin (PTX) in a dose-dependent manner. 8. These observations strongly suggest that hypotonic stimulation induced an increase in [Ca2+]i in Ca(2+)-free medium through activation of cascades using PTX-sensitive guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein) and IP3.

Abstract
The effect of ethanol on muscarinic receptor-stimulated formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was studied in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Stimulation with carbachol induced a biphasic increase of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate with an initial peak after 10 sec declining to a plateau phase of elevation above basal levels, which was sustained for at least 5 min in the presence of agonist. The peak, but not the plateau phase, was concentration-dependently decreased by exposure to ethanol. Maximal inhibition was obtained within 30 sec of exposure to ethanol. Ethanol caused an increase in the EC50 value of carbachol for the initial rate of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation, measured after 10 sec of stimulation, from 98 microM in the absence to 196 microM in the presence of 100 mM ethanol. The potencies of pirenzepine and hexahydro-sila-difenidol hydrochloride for inhibiting [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate binding and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation suggest that both phases are mediated via the muscarinic M1 receptor. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate inhibited both phases of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation, whereas okadaic acid and modulators of cAMP-dependent protein kinase were without any effect. There was no inhibitory effect of ethanol when protein kinase C was inhibited by H7 and calphostin C, indicating that the ethanol effect is dependent on protein kinase C activity.

Abstract
The role of the ras oncogene in the signalling pathway triggered by platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) has been investigated in a cell line which normally differentiates into myotubes. Following the activation of the N-ras oncogene, however, the cells proliferate and form foci. PDGF-BB stimulated the phosphorylation of tyrosine in several cellular proteins of molecular weight 185, 160, 94, 54, 44, 42 kDa and furthermore Ca2+ was released from internal stores. Activation of the N-ras gene by treatment of cells with dexamethasone (DEX) inhibited these responses to PDGF-BB. On the other hand, both ras-induced and -non induced cells responded to bradykinin (BK), foetal calf serum (FCS) and ionomycin (ION) by releasing Ca2+ from intracellular stores. The inhibition of the response to PDGF-BB in ras-activated cells has been further investigated. The binding of [125I]-PDGF-BB to its receptors was low and western blotting showed a low level of PDGF-BB receptor protein. This was in marked contrast to the receptor number seen in cells grown in growth medium or fusion promoting medium. These results indicate that cells transformed with the N-ras oncogene fail to respond to platelet-derived growth factor and exhibit a very low level of PDGF receptors. This suggests a role for the ras oncogene in the earliest steps of the signalling pathway.

Abstract
1. Muscarinic and bradykinin receptor-mediated Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation, Ca2+ mobilization and Ca2+ entry have been examined in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. This has allowed both direct comparison of signalling events by two receptor types potentially linked to the same transduction pathway and an investigation of the interactions between the components of this pathway. 2. Stimulation of muscarinic receptors with carbachol produced biphasic accumulations of Ins(1,4,5)P3 consisting of a rapid peak followed by a lower sustained phase. Both phases were dose-dependent but the potency of elevation at peak was significantly less than that of the sustained phase. Bradykinin also dose-dependently stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation but responses were smaller and not sustained. 3. Lowering of [Ca2+]e reduced basal Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels. Peak Ins(1,4,5)P3 elevation in response to carbachol and bradykinin were lowered by an amount approximating this reduction over the entire dose-response curves. Sustained Ins(1,4,5)P3 elevation in response to carbachol showed a more marked absolute reduction. Agonist potencies were unaffected by lowering [Ca2+]e. Thus, a consistent but small amount of PLC activity during rapid activation appears to be sensitive to lowered [Ca2+]e, whilst activity during sustained stimulation is greatly facilitated by external Ca2+, probably through Ca2+ entry. 4. The temporal- and dose-dependency of carbachol-mediated Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulations were unaffected by loading cells with fura-2, thus allowing direct comparison of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and [Ca2+]i changes monitored by fura-2. 5. Changes in [Ca2+]i by both agonists revealed temporal patterns that were similar to Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulations. Only carbachol stimulated a marked sustained [Ca2+]i signal and this was fully dependent on external Ca2+. 6. All agonist-mediated [Ca2+]i elevations occurred with significantly greater potency than that of the respective Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulations. Further examination of peak elevations in response to carbachol indicated that this was independent of Ca2+ entry. Thus, a major site for amplification of the potency of rapid agonist-mediated responses lies at the level of the Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor. 7. The transient nature of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and [Ca2+]i peaks followed by either lower but sustained levels with carbachol or a return to basal levels with bradykinin suggests rapid but partial desensitization of the muscarinic receptor and complete desensitization of the bradykinin receptor. This indicates receptor-specific desensitization. Further analysis of this was provided by detecting accumulations of [3H]-inositol phosphates ([3H]-InsPs) in Li(+)-blocked, myo-[3H]-inositol labelled cells. Carbachol produced a rapid accumulation over the first minute, followed by a slower linear accumulation for at least 29 min. At this point accumulations were dose-related with a potency similar to that of sustained Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation.However, bradykinin produced a minor accumulation of [3H]-InsPs, maximal by 1 min. Thus,analysis of PLC activation by measurement of [3H]-InsPs over relatively long time frames will indicate the ability of agonists for predominantly sustained PLC activation, potentially driven by a partially desensitized receptor, as opposed to rapid activation by a fully sensitized receptor.8. These data provide quantitative comparisons between and within components of the receptor mediated phosphoinositide and Ca2+ signalling pathway, provide mechanistic insights into regulation of these components and characterize a model system in which heterologous interaction between two receptors linked to the same transduction pathway may be examined.

Abstract
Signal transduction at a diverse range of pharmacologically distinct receptors is effected by the enhanced turnover of inositol phospholipids, with the attendant formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Although considerable progress has been made in recent years towards the identification and characterization of the individual components of this pathway, much less is known of mechanisms that may underlie its regulation. In this review, evidence is presented for the potential regulation of inositol lipid turnover at the level of receptor, phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C and substrate availability in response to either homologous or heterologous stimuli. Available data indicate that the extent of receptor-stimulated inositol lipid hydrolysis is regulated by multiple mechanisms that operate at different levels of the signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
Intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) were measured in subclones of NL308 neuroblastoma x fibroblast hybrid cells expressing each of the individual muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes m1, m2, m3 and m4. Application of 100 microM acetylcholine (ACh) increased [Ca2+]i in all four subclones. The increased [Ca2+]i levels were significantly higher in m1- and m3-transformed cells than those in m2- and m4-transformed cells. In more than 95% of m2- and m4-transformed cells, [Ca2+]i showed sinusoidal oscillations. ACh-induced increases in [Ca2+]i were not observed in cells treated with an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA). Removal of extracellular Ca2+ with ethylene-glycol-bis-(beta- aminoethyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (EGTA) did not affect the initial [Ca2+]i increases, but reduced the late phases of delta [Ca2+]i in ml- and m3-transformed cells by 20-30%. Oscillations in m2- and m4-transformed cells persisted in EGTA solution (though sometimes slowed in frequency), suggesting that they were of intracellular origin. ACh-induced delta [Ca2+]i and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation was completely suppressed by pre-treatment with 50-100 ng ml-1 Pertussis toxin (PTX) for 12 h in m2- and m4-transformed cells, but not in m1- and m3-transformed cells. In all cells, extracellular application of caffeine and ryanodine, or intracellular application of cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cAD-PR) produced a rise in [Ca2+]i. ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations were not observed in ryanodine-treated m2-transformed cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Bradykinin exerts a broad spectrum of cellular effects on different tissues. It is believed that these effects are predominantly mediated by the recently cloned B2 receptor. The mechanism of post-receptor signal transduction is not known in detail. Involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) was suggested and activation of the classical PKC isoforms alpha and beta was recently demonstrated. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the B2 receptor also activates new (delta, epsilon) and atypical (zeta) PKC isoforms. To investigate this, chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, stably transfected with human B2 receptor, were used. In these cells the PKC isoforms alpha, delta, epsilon and zeta were detected by immunoblotting with specific antibodies. To monitor hormone-induced PKC translocation plasma membranes were prepared. Stimulation of the cells with bradykinin resulted in a rapid (30-60 s) translocation of the PKC isoforms alpha, epsilon, and zeta. Translocation of PKC delta was not detected. The effect of bradykinin was reduced by simultaneous addition of the receptor antagonist HOE 140, a bradykinin-related decapeptide. The data show that the B2 receptor in this cell model is able to activate, in addition to the classical PKC isoform alpha, the new PKC isoform epsilon and the atypical PKC isoform zeta. To test whether these effects are as well observed in a non-transfected cell, the experiments were repeated in human foreskin fibroblasts which naturally express high levels of B2 receptors. In this cell system similar results on PKC alpha, epsilon, and zeta were observed, suggesting that all three PKC isoforms are involved in signal transduction of the B2 receptor.

Abstract
Vasopressin and bradykinin bind to receptors coupled to GTP-binding proteins and rapidly induce polyphosphoinositide breakdown leading to Ca2+ mobilization and activation of protein kinase C. Both peptides are known to induce mitogenesis in the presence of growth factors that act through receptors with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Surprisingly, addition of a combination of vasopressin and bradykinin to Swiss 3T3 cells synergistically stimulates DNA synthesis in the absence of any other growth factors. This effect is induced at nanomolar concentrations of the peptides and could be inhibited by addition of specific receptor antagonists or broad spectrum neuropeptide antagonists. Bradykinin, which stimulates transient activation of protein kinase C, induces DNA synthesis in synergy with substances that cause long-term activation of protein kinase C, like vasopressin or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate. Down-regulation of protein kinase C inhibited the induction of mitogenesis by the combination of vasopressin and bradykinin, thus demonstrating the importance of long-term activation of this enzyme for DNA synthesis. Analysis of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins of M(r) = 110,000-130,000 and M(r) = 70,000-80,000 revealed a biphasic response after stimulation with bradykinin, whereas the response induced by vasopressin declined after the initial maximum. The combination of bradykinin with vasopressin caused an enhanced and prolonged increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins as compared with the individual peptides. Inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation by tyrphostin was paralleled by inhibition of DNA synthesis. Together, these results demonstrate synergistic stimulation of DNA synthesis by bradykinin and vasopressin via prolonged stimulation of multiple signaling pathways and imply that the interactive effects of Ca(2+)-mobilizing peptides on mitogenesis may be more general than previously thought.

Abstract
Acetylcholine (ACh) is considered as the most likely candidate for a neurotransmitter of the efferent synapse onto hair cell. In this paper, the nature of this cholinergic receptor mechanism on dissociated bullfrog saccular hair cell was examined by using whole cell recording and Ca2+ sensitive fluorophotometric technique. Both the ACh-induced current and the increase of [Ca2+]i were observed in an oscillatory manner, and were the largest around the basal part of the cell where the efferent synapse is thought to make a contact with the membrane. The reversal potential of ACh-induced current indicated that ACh activated a K+ conductance. The ACh-induced current was reversibly blocked by atropine, d-tubocurarine (dTC), apamin, tetraethylammonium (TEA) and quinine. Neither muscarine nor nicotine mimicked the ACh-induced current. When GTP gamma S was injected into a hair cell, the first ACh application induced an outward current of transient kinetics, but in subsequent trials ACh-induced current lost its decay phase. Intracellularly injected D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) generated outward currents. Intracellularly injected heparin suppressed ACh-induced currents, and lithium (Li+) increased ACh-induced currents. These results indicate that ACh activates a receptor coupled with a guanine nucleotide binding protein (G-protein) which triggers metabolic cascades of InsP3 and Ca2+ leading to the activation of the Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel.

Abstract
M3 muscarinic receptors expressed on SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells are linked to phosphoinositide turnover and rises in [Ca2+]i. The rise in [Ca2+]i is biphasic with the peak phase being due to release from an intracellular Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive site and the plateau phase being due to Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane. Ca2+ entry does not appear to involve voltage sensitive Ca2+ channels, a pertussis toxin sensitive G-protein-operated Ca2+ channel or Ins(1,4,5)P3/Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-operated Ca2+ channel. We suggest that carbachol-stimulated Ca2+ entry in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells occurs via receptor operated Ca2+ channels and through capacitive refilling.

Abstract
Bradykinin (BK) and its analogs (1 nM-100 microM) stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) turnover in murine fibrosarcoma (HSDM1C1) cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The relative potencies (EC50) were: BK = 48 +/- 4 nM; Lys-BK = 39 +/- 3 nM; Met-Lys-BK = 158 +/- 33 nM, Des-Arg9-BK = 2617 +/- 598 nM (means +/- SEM, n = 3-14). All these analogs were full agonists and they produced up to 5.4 +/- 0.4-fold stimulation of PI turnover at the highest concentration (10-100 microM) of the peptides. In contrast, the analogs [D-Arg0-HYP3-Thienyl5,8-D-Phe7]-BK (HYP3-antagonist), [D-Arg0-HYP3-Thienyl,5,8-D-Phe7]-BK (Thienyl antagonist) and Des-Arg9-Leu8-BK were inactive, as agonists, at 0.1 nM-1 microM in this system. These data suggested that BK-induced PI turnover in these cells was mediated via B2-type of BK receptors. This was confirmed further by the fact that both the B2-selective Hyp3- and Thienyl-antagonists inhibited BK-induced PI turnover with KBS of 369 +/- 51 nM and 368 +/- 118 nM respectively while the B1-selective antagonist, Des-Arg9-Leu8-BK, was inactive at 1 microM. [3H]BK receptor binding studies revealed two binding sites, one with high affinity (Kd = 0.24 +/- 0.06 nM; Bmax = 1.4 +/- 0.4 pmol/g tissue) and the other with low affinity (Kd = 18.5 +/- 0.95 nM; Bmax = 25.1 +/- 0.52 pmol/g tissue), on HSDM1C1 cell homogenates. The rank order of affinity of BK analogs at inhibiting specific [3H]BK binding was similar to that found for PI turnover.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have investigated coupling between the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and the phospholipase C (PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC) signal-transduction system in normal skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes, for which EGF and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) are mitogenic. EGF and TGF-alpha induced a rapid increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor, in both fibroblasts and keratinocytes, but failed to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 or detectable phosphoinositide hydrolysis, as measured by two sensitive assays. In fibroblasts, EGF induced phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis, resulting in increased diacylglycerol (DAG). In contrast, in keratinocytes, there was no detectable PC hydrolysis or elevation of DAG in response to EGF or TGF-alpha. EGF and TGF-alpha activated PKC in fibroblasts, as evidenced by increased phosphorylation of a specific cellular PKC substrate (myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate, 'MARCKS'). In keratinocytes, TGF-alpha and EGF induced only a modest increase in MARCKS protein phosphorylation. This apparent modest activation of PKC, in the absence of detectable DAG formation, may have been mediated by arachidonic acid, which was released from keratinocytes in response to TGF-alpha, and has been shown to stimulate PKC activity in vitro. These data demonstrate that (1) in dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes, which express normal levels of EGF receptors, EGF receptor activation is not coupled to tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 or PtdIns hydrolysis, suggesting that these events are not required for the mitogenic activity of EGF or TGF-alpha in these cells, (2) coupling of EGF receptor to PC hydrolysis is cell-type specific, and (3) in skin fibroblasts, DAG, formed through EGF-induced PC hydrolysis, is capable of activating PKC.

Abstract
1. Acetylcholine (ACh) produces two membrane current changes when applied to NG108-15 mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma hybrid cells transformed (by DNA transfection) to express m1 muscarinic receptors: it activates a Ca(2+)-dependent K+ conductance, producing an outward current, and it inhibits a voltage-dependent K+ conductance (the M conductance), thus diminishing the M-type voltage-dependent K+ current (IK(M)) and producing an inward current. The present experiments were undertaken to find out how far inhibition of IK(M) might be secondary to stimulation of phospholipase C, by recording membrane currents and intracellular Ca2+ changes with indo-1 using whole-cell patch-clamp methods. 2. Bath application of 100 microM ACh reversibly inhibited IK(M) by 47.3 +/- 3.2% (n = 23). Following pressure-application of 1 mM ACh, the mean latency to inhibition was 420 ms at 35 degrees C and 1.79 s at 23 degrees C. Latencies to inhibition by Ba2+ ions were 148 ms at 35 degrees C and 92 ms at 23 degrees C. 3. The involvement of a G-protein was tested by adding 0.5 mM GTP-gamma-S or 10 mM potassium fluoride to the pipette solution. These slowly reduced IK(M), with half-times of about 30 and 20 min respectively, and rendered the effect of superimposed ACh irreversible. Effects of ACh were not significantly changed after pretreatment for 24 h with 500 ng ml-1 pertussis toxin or on adding up to 10 mM GDP-beta-S to the pipette solution. 4. The role of phospholipase C and its products was tested using neomycin (to inhibit phospholipase C), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4), heparin, and phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu) and staurosporin (to activate and inhibit protein kinase C respectively). Both neomycin (1 mM external) and InsP3 (100 microM intrapipette) inhibited the ACh-induced outward current and/or intracellular Ca2+ transient but did not block ACh-induced inhibition of IK(M). Intrapipette heparin (1 mM) blocked activation of IK(Ca) and reduced Ach-induced inhibitions of IK(M), but also reduced inhibition of ICa via endogeneous m4 receptors. PDBu (with or without intrapipette ATP) and staurosporin had no significant effects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Cells of the osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 were shown to contain at least three phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) isoenzymes (PLC-beta, PLC-gamma and PLC-delta) by Western blotting analysis with various anti-PLC antibodies. Stimulation of inositol phosphate production in MC3T3-E1 cells by bradykinin (BK) occurred via a GTP-binding protein. Inositol phosphate formation on stimulation by BK was not affected by pretreatment with pertussis toxin, whereas it was potentiated by cholera toxin pretreatment. Elevation of cellular cyclic AMP levels by brief pretreatment with dibutyryl cyclic AMP or forskolin failed to enhance the BK-mediated generation of inositol phosphates, but long-term preincubation with these agents partially mimicked the action of the cholera toxin. Cholera toxin also caused an increase in BK receptor number. Cycloheximide, a protein biosynthesis inhibitor, prevented the potentiating actions of the cholera toxin and the cyclic AMP-elevating agents on BK-induced inositol phosphate production, and also inhibited the increase in BK receptor number. The specific binding of [3H]BK to the whole MC3T3-E1 cells in the presence or absence of cholera toxin was completely inhibited by the B2 BK receptor antagonist D-Arg[Hyp3,Thi5,8,D-Phe7]BK, but not by the B1 BK receptor agonist des-Arg9-BK. These data suggest that the activation of PI-PLC induced by cholera toxin in BK-stimulated MC3T3-E1 cells was caused by an enhancement of the synthesis of BK receptor protein(s), at least part of which was mediated by a sustained increase in the intracellular level of cyclic AMP.

Abstract
Extracellularly applied acetylcholine (ACh) induced outward currents in isolated outer hair cells of a guinea-pig cochlea. The ACh induced current was carried by K+ ions. The current amplitude was ACh dose dependent with a KD of 12 microM. The ACh induced outward current was reversibly blocked by extracellularly applied atropine (1 microM), d-tubocurarine (d-TC, 1 microM), apamin (1 microM) and strychnine (0.1-10 microM). D-TC (10 microM) not only blocked the ACh induced outward current, but also reduced the amplitude of depolarization induced outward current. ACh induced a rise of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). D-TC (10 microM) reduced but did not totally block the increase of [Ca2+]i. In a low Ca2+ (0.1 mM) extracellular medium, the amplitude of ACh induced current was reduced rapidly and was recovered gradually to the normal level after the extracellular Ca2+ concentration was resumed. It is probable that ACh hyperpolarizes the guinea-pig outer hair cell membrane by activation of a Ca(2+)-activated K+ conductance.

Abstract
1. The acetylcholine (ACh)-induced currents (IACh) in dissociated outer hair cells (OHCs) of guinea-pig cochlea were investigated using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique, in both conventional and nystatin perforated-patch configurations. 2. ACh and carbamylcholine (CCh) induced outward currents at a holding potential (VH) of -60 mV in the perforated-patch configuration. The IACh increased in a sigmoidal fashion over the concentration range between 3 x 10(-6) and 10(-3) M. The dissociation constant (KD) was 1.7 x 10(-5) M and the Hill coefficient (n) was 2.7. The KD and n for CCh were 8.7 x 10(-5) M and 2.2, respectively. Neither nicotine nor muscarine induced any detectable current up to a concentration of 10(-3) M. 3. Various muscarinic agonists such as oxotremorine-M, McN-A-343 and oxotremorine could also induce the outward currents, although these current amplitudes were about one-third that of ACh, indicating that they were partial agonists. 4. The muscarinic antagonists atropine, 4-DAMP, AF-DX 116 and pirenzepine inhibited the IACh in a concentration-dependent manner. The half-inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for atropine, 4-DAMP, AF-DX 116 and pirenzepine were 4.8 x 10(-6), 6.2 x 10(-6), 2.1 x 10(-5) and 2.9 x 10(-4) M, respectively. 5. When the extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+])o) was reduced to lower than 1 mM, the amplitude of IACh, abruptly decreased. In a nominally Ca(2+)-free external solution ACh did not induce any current. The increase of [Ca2+]o beyond 1 mM did not change the IACh. 6. When OHCs were perfused intracellularly with a pipette solution containing 10 mM BAPTA in the conventional whole-cell mode, ACh could not induce outward K+ currents. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 induced an outward current. These results indicate that intracellular Ca2+ is involved in the ACh response. 7. Calmodulin inhibitors such as chlorpromazine, W-7 and trifluoperazine inhibited the IACh in a concentration-dependent manner. 8. When OHCs were dialysed with either 100 microM GDP beta S or 1 micrograms/ml pertussis toxin (PTX) through the patch pipette at a VH of -60 mV, the IACh diminished within 10 min, whereas the IACh of the control remained steady for over 20 min, suggesting that a PTX-sensitive G-protein is involved in the ACh response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
IK(Ca) activated by intracellular ionophoresis of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) or pressure-applied acetylcholine was inhibited by bradykinin and acetylcholine in NG108-15 cells transfected with m1 receptors. The inhibition of the IP3-evoked current was complete at 10 microM acetylcholine. This inhibition was not seen if the current was evoked by intracellular ionophoresis of calcium ions. Only receptors the activate the phosphoinositide system in these cells produced this inhibition, i.e. transfected muscarinic m1 and m3 and bradykinin receptors, but not muscarinic m2, m4 or adrenergic alpha 2 receptors. This inhibition was not sensitive to pertussis toxin or staurosporine. The concentrations of acetylcholine needed to inhibit the evoked current were identical to those needed to raise intracellular calcium but tenfold less than those needed for the agonist to activate IK(Ca). In a normal calcium-containing superfusate, recovery from inhibition required around 8 min (half-time 4 min) after removal of acetylcholine. When the experiment was performed in calcium-free medium no recovery was seen after 8 min washing in drug-free solution, but complete recovery was seen within 3 min (half-time 1.5 min) after adding calcium. Responses to repeated pressure applications of acetylcholine could be reversibly inhibited by acetylcholine and bradykinin. It seems, then, that there is no direct action of acetylcholine or bradykinin on the IK(Ca) channels themselves but that concentrations below those needed to activate IK(Ca) can empty and inhibit the IP3-sensitive calcium store. This may provide a mechanism for heterologous desensitization for phospholipase-C-linked receptor-mediated responses.

Abstract
The cloned pulp-cell line RDP4-1 increases cAMP production, hydrolyses phosphoinositide (PI) and mobilizes calcium in response to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and PGF2-alpha. The effect of bradykinin (BK) on intracellular signalling systems and DNA synthesis was studied in these cells. BK (10 microM) transiently increased cytoplasmic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) both in the presence and absence of external calcium. After stimulation with BK (10 microM), cells did not respond significantly to PGE2 (0.5 microgram/ml). Pretreatment with indomethacin (30 microM) inhibited the [Ca2+]i increment by BK (10 microM), but not by the subsequent addition of PGE2 (0.5 micrograms/ml). Also, pretreatment with PGE2 (0.5 microgram/ml) blocked the action of BK (10 microM), BK (0.1-100 microM) stimulated PI hydrolysis and cAMP production in a dose-dependent manner. Both the PI and the cAMP responses were inhibited by indomethacin (30 microM), as was the calcium response. BK (0.01-10 microM) also stimulated release of arachidonic acid and its metabolites dose-dependently. However, prolonged exposure to BK in serum-deficient medium did not exert any effect on DNA synthesis. RDP 4-1 cells, therefore, appear to respond to BK with increased cAMP production. PI hydrolysis and calcium mobilization. The inhibition of these effects of BK by indomethacin raises the possibility that cyclo-oxygenase product(s), especially PGE2 or PGE2-like compounds, may be responsible for evoking these effects. These results indicate that BK may stimulate or modulate cell metabolism in the dental pulp.

Abstract
1. Bronchoconstriction and thromboxane B2 (TxB2) release following the intra-tracheal administration of the secretagogue N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMLP) to lungs from pertussis toxin-treated guinea-pigs in vivo and in vitro were inhibited as compared to saline-treated animals, under conditions where the responses to PAF were modified less effectively. 2. The cell target accounting for bronchoconstriction by fMLP and for inhibition by pertussis toxin is located in the airways and is probably the alveolar macrophage. Indeed (a) fMLP-induced superoxide anions and TxB2 formation by alveolar macrophages were inhibited by pertussis toxin given in vivo; (b) Gi proteins of membranes from alveolar macrophages were ADP-ribosylated in vivo by pertussis toxin and (c) bronchoconstriction and TxB2 release in response to the intra-tracheal administration of fMLP to lungs from pertussis toxin-treated animals were restored when alveolar macrophages from control guinea-pigs were transferred into the airways of pertussis toxin-treated animals before lung isolation. 3. Pertussis toxin administered to guinea-pigs in vivo, reduced the subsequent TxB2 formation and superoxide anion release by alveolar macrophages stimulated with PAF, but failed to inhibit PAF-induced bronchoconstriction. 4. Formation of TxB2 by alveolar macrophages following the intra-tracheal administration of fMLP accounts for bronchoconstriction and requires pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi proteins. PAF operates via a different mechanism, which is independent of Gi-like protein and involves mediators other than TxB2 and superoxide anions.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide hydrolysis was studied in primary cultures of rat cerebellar astrocytes prelabeled with [3H]myo-inositol. Among the agonists examined, the rank order of efficacies in causing phosphoinositide hydrolysis was bradykinin > endothelin-1 > ATP > norepinephrine. The bradykinin response was robust (24-fold increase) with EC50 value of 30 nM and saturating concentration of 1 microM. Preincubation of cells with pertussis toxin did not affect the activation of phosphoinositide turnover by bradykinin. Although short-term (within 90 min) treatment of cells with phorbol dibutyrate attenuated bradykinin-induced phosphoinositide breakdown, the inhibitory effect was lost after 3-6 h of phorbol dibutyrate treatment. Extended (24 h) preincubation resulted in a potentiation of bradykinin response. Homologous desensitization of bradykinin response was observed in cells prestimulated with bradykinin for up to 6 h. However, similar to the effect of phorbol dibutyrate, 24-h pretreatment with bradykinin selectively sensitized the response to bradykinin. Up-regulation of the bradykinin response was also observed in cells prestimulated with endothelin-1 or norepinephrine for 24 h, although these treatments resulted in only homologous desensitization to their own response. Our results suggest that cultured cerebellar astrocytes express bradykinin receptors coupled to phospholipase C and in these cells protein kinase C plays a more prominent role in the negative-feedback regulation of bradykinin-evoked phosphoinositide response.

Abstract
Kinins contribute to the acute inflammatory response and are implicated in the pathophysiology of inflammatory disease. The development of therapeutically viable agents that counteract the effects of kinins is, therefore, potentially very rewarding. Since kinin actions are generally mediated via an interaction with cell-surface receptors, one approach is the development of site-specific receptor antagonists. The emphasis in this review is to outline our current understanding of the properties of bradykinin receptors and the potential therapeutic applications for drugs acting at these sites. As a result of the recent introduction of potent bradykinin receptor antagonists and the cloning of bradykinin receptor genes, considerable advances in kinin research can now be confidently anticipated.

Abstract
Signal transduction pathways from bradykinin (BK) receptors were investigated in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells by buffering the intracellular calcium (Ca2+) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), a Ca2+ chelator. BK increased inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1, 4,5)P3) formation at the same rate in the control and in BAPTA-acetoxy methyl ester (AM)-treated NG108-15 cells. However, a transient increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in response to BK was significantly suppressed in Ca(2+)-buffered hybrid cells. Accordingly the BK-induced outward current was inhibited in BAPTA-AM-treated hybrid cells, while the subsequent inward current associated with a fall in membrane conductance was apparently increased. The initial phase of acetylcholine release from NG108-15 cells in response to BK was markedly inhibited in BAPTA-AM-treated coculture dishes when detected as miniature end-plate potentials of myotubes, though the late phase of acetylcholine secretion was observed. These results indicate that BK induces two distinct responses in NG108-15 cells: Ins(1,4,5)P3-dependent intracellular Ca2+ rise-sensitive and -insensitive components.

Abstract
We have examined the cross talk between adenosine and bradykinin receptors in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. Both adenosine and bradykinin mobilized intracellular free calcium via the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Adenosine exerted its actions via adenosine A1 receptors as demonstrated by the observations that N6-cyclopentyladenosine, a selective A1 receptor agonist, had an EC50 in the low nanomolar range and that a selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, counteracted adenosine-mediated responses at concentrations typical for signaling via adenosine A1 receptors. Adenosine A1 receptors were coupled to phospholipase C via pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein(s) [G protein(s)], whereas bradykinin responses were unaffected by pertussis toxin. When adenosine or N6-cyclopentyladenosine was combined with bradykinin, the resulting formation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate was more than additive, and the EC50 value for adenosine and N6-cyclopentyladenosine was shifted to the left by bradykinin, the affinity of which was unaltered. Combining N6-cyclopentyladenosine and bradykinin also synergistically raised intracellular free calcium both at subthreshold levels and at maximal concentrations of the two agonists. The interaction was not dependent upon cAMP. In conclusion, stimulation of adenosine A1 receptors coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein(s) and bradykinin receptors coupled to pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein(s) synergistically mobilizes intracellular free calcium and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation.

Abstract
A number of lines of evidence indicate that the Ca2+ and cyclic AMP signalling systems interact in NCB-20 cells. However, to date, the regulation of [Ca2+]i homeostasis has not been studied in this cell line. The present study aimed to clarify our understanding of [Ca2+]i homeostasis in these cells and to evaluate tools that manipulate [Ca2+]i, independently of protein kinase C effects. Bradykinin, by a B2-receptor, elevated [Ca2+]i by a pertussis-toxin-insensitive mechanism. The BK-stimulated [Ca2+]i rise originated from intracellular sources, without a contribution from Ca2+ entry mechanisms. The effect of BK was precluded by pretreatment with thapsigargin and ionomycin--compounds that elevated [Ca2+]i independent of phospholipase C activation. Both compounds, however, exerted effects in addition to stimulating release of Ca2+ from BK-sensitive stores; the BK-sensitive Ca2+ pool was a subset of the thapsigargin-sensitive pool; ionomycin strongly stimulates Ca2+ entry. Activation of protein kinases A and C attenuated the duration of the BK-induced rise in [Ca2+]i, without affecting the peak [Ca2+]i, suggesting interference with the BK response at a step downstream of the activation of phospholipase C. Application of these approaches should enhance the delineation of the consequences of Ca2+ mobilization on cyclic AMP accumulation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of cell culture on the bradykinin receptor of rabbit colon myocytes. In longitudinal muscle strips prepared from distal colon, bradykinin stimulated dose-dependent contraction that was 62% of the maximal response to bethanecol. At 4 degrees C, [3H]bradykinin binding to fresh muscle homogenates from the distal colon was time dependent, saturable, and linearly related to tissue concentration. Specific binding of 0.6 nmol/L [3H]bradykinin was 80% +/- 2% of total binding. In competitive binding studies, Hill coefficients approached unity, suggesting the presence of a single class of receptors. The order of potency was bradykinin greater than [D-Phe7]bradykinin much greater than des-Arg9, [Leu8]bradykinin, which is consistent with results of a B2 receptor subclass. Colon myocytes from the longitudinal muscle layer achieved confluence and were harvested for studies after 12-14 days in culture. Bradykinin receptors were of high affinity [disassociation constant (Kd) = 672 pmol/L] and numbered 10,217 +/- 2567/cell. To show that the receptors on cultured myocytes were functional, the effect of bradykinin was measured (a) on intracellular calcium concentration using Fura 2 and (b) on prostaglandin E2 concentration in the culture media using radioimmunoassay. In cells grown to confluence on cover slips and preloaded with Fura 2, bradykinin stimulated the threshold response at 1 nmol/L and maximal response (increased intracellular calcium concentration from 229 to 633 nmol/L) at 1 mumol/L. Bradykinin, 100 nmol/L, increased Prostaglandin E2 in the culture media threefold. In summary, colon myocytes express functioning bradykinin receptors, which, unlike muscarinic receptors, persist in culture. Bradykinin appears to be a suitable agonist for studies of receptor-mediated intracellular events in cultured colon myocytes.

Abstract
Endothelin-1 (ET-1)- and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-stimulated PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis has been studied in Rat-1 fibroblasts. Although both agonists caused the dose-dependent accumulation of inositol phosphates, a number of differences were observed. LPA induced a transient increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 mass which returned to basal levels within 90 s, whereas the response to ET-1 did not desensitize, with levels remaining at 3-4 times basal values for up to 15 min. Stimulated decreases in mass levels of PtdIns(4,5)P2 mirrored Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation for both agonists. Experiments with electropermeabilized cells demonstrated that the effects of both agonists are stimulated by a phospholipase C controlled by a guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory protein; however, there are differences in the nature of these interactions. The inositol phosphate response to ET-1 is poorly potentiated by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and markedly inhibited by guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]), whereas that to LPA is potentiated by GTP[S] but is relatively insensitive to GDP[S]. In addition, LPA decreased the lag time for the onset of GTP[S]-stimulated [3H]InsP3 accumulation, whereas ET-1 was without effect. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate treatment of the cells inhibited LPA-stimulated, but not ET-1-stimulated, inositol phosphate formation in both intact and permeabilized cells, suggesting that the site of protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation may be blocked in ET-1-stimulated Rat-1 cells. The results indicate that the receptor-G-protein-phospholipase C interaction for the two agonists may not conform to the same model.

Abstract
There is a critical need for new targets, in addition to DNA, for anticancer drug development. A recently discovered target is the intracellular signalling pathways that mediate the actions of growth factors and oncogenes on cell proliferation. Two important pathways, the myo-inositol and protein tyrosine kinase signalling pathways are reviewed. Three classes of compounds that modulate myo-inositol signalling are discussed. These are: 1) the D-3-substituted-3-deoxy-myo-inositol analogues that act as antimetabolites of myo-inositol and show selective growth inhibition of some transformed cells; 2) the alkaloid staurosporine that acts as a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C and of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity; 3) the ether lipid analogues that block growth factor signalling at several points by acting as inhibitors of protein kinase C, phosphoinositide specific phospholipase C and inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ release. It is suggested that inhibition of signalling pathways may explain the growth inhibitory effects of these compounds. Other potential signalling target sites for anticancer drug development are discussed.

Abstract
The effect of bradykinin on the activation production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was examined in the murine osteoblastic cell line, MC3T3-E1. Bradykinin, at concentrations ranging from 1 to 1000 nM, stimulated the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 2.5- to 3-fold within 10 s, and elevated cytosolic-free Ca2+, even in the absence of external Ca2+. This process is mediated through the activation of phospholipase C. Bradykinin at the same concentration also stimulated the production of PGE2 and caused a release of 3H radioactivity from the cells prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid, probably via the activation of phospholipase A2. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin inhibited the stimulation of PGE2 production and 3H radioactivity release, while the elevation in cytosolic Ca2+ and the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate were not altered by toxin-pretreatment. The addition of an unhydrolyzable analog of GTP, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S) to the beta-escin-permeabilized cells prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid enhanced the release of 3H radioactivity. The simultaneous presence of bradykinin with GTP gamma S further activated the 3H radioactivity release in the beta-escin-permeabilized cells. These results provide evidence that receptors for bradykinin in the MC3T3-E1 couple stimulating arachidonate release, probably via the activation of phospholipase A2, through a guanine nucleotide binding protein sensitive to pertussis toxin.

Abstract
The M current, IM, a voltage-dependent non-inactivating K current, was recorded in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells, using the whole-cell mode of the patch-clamp technique. We studied inhibition of the M current by bradykinin, phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), and methylxanthines. Focal application of 0.1-5 microM bradykinin inhibited IM by about 60%; 5 nM bradykinin inhibited by about 40%. Bath application of 0.1 microM and 1 microM PDBu diminished IM to about half of the control value. Staurosporine, a PKC inhibitor, applied for 35-43 min in a concentration of 0.3 microM significantly reduced the effect of 1 microM PDBu. M current blockage by PDBu could be partly reversed by bath application of H-7 (51-64 microM), another PKC inhibitor. These observations suggest that the PDBu effect is really due to activation of PKC. The findings are compatible with the view [Brown DA, Higashida H (1988) J Physiol (Lond) 397:185-207] that the bradykinin effect on IM is mediated by PKC. However, three further observations suggest that this is only true for part of the bradykinin effect. When the suppression of IM by 1 microM PDBu was fully developed, 0.1 microM bradykinin produced a further inhibition of IM. Down-regulation of PKC by long-term treatment with PDBu reduced the effect of 0.1 microM bradykinin significantly but did not abolish it. Staurosporine (0.3 microM, applied for 31-46 min) failed to reduce the effect of 5 nM bradykinin significantly. The M current could be reversibly blocked by methylxanthines (caffeine, isobutyl-methylxanthine, theophylline) in the millimolar range, probably because of a direct action on the M channels.

Abstract
The effects of Pertussis toxin (PTx) and extracellular Ca2+ were investigated on gastrin-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 mass level in isolated gastric parietal cells. Basal Ins(1,4,5)P3 content was 5.48 +/- 0.49 pmol/500,000 cells. Gastrin (10 nM) induced a rapid increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 content which was maximal after 15 s and corresponded to 2-2.5-fold basal level; this Ins(1,4,5)P3 content then decreased within 30 s. After a longer time of gastrin exposure (greater than 1 min), a sustained and unexpected increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation was observed which was maximal at 7.5 min (corresponding to 2.3-2.8-fold basal value) and slightly decreased thereafter. PTx treatment of cells (200 ng/ml) for 3 h or removal of extracellular Ca2+ did not affect the rapid rise, but drastically reduced the sustained increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 content (60-100% inhibition); this inhibition was not evident after 10 min of hormone stimulation. Furthermore, diltiazem, a Ca2+ channel blocker, led to a similar inhibition of the sustained increase. We concluded that: (i) gastrin induced a rapid increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 content via a mechanism insensitive to PTx and to extracellular Ca2+, and (ii) gastrin induced a sustained increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 level via a mechanism sensitive to PTx and to extracellular Ca2+. Even though the rapid rise in Ins(1,4,5)P3 content may be involved in the intracellular Ca2+ mobilization occurring after the first seconds of hormone stimulation, the physiological role of the sustained Ins(1,4,5)P3 increased level remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
The 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) mass content was measured in thrombin-stimulated human platelets. Thrombin stimulates a biphasic accumulation of DAG, with an early phase reaching a peak at 10 s and a later phase reaching a peak at 2-3 min. The time course of first-phase DAG production corresponded well to that of Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation, which was rapid and transient. The second phase of DAG accumulation occurred after the level of Ins(1,4,5)P3 returned to nearly basal. Thrombin stimulated the decrease in PtdIns and phosphatidylcholine contents. The source of second-phase DAG was examined in platelets prelabelled with three radioactive fatty acids, i.e. arachidonic, palmitic and myristic. Thrombin stimulated the increase in radioactivity of DAG with decline of PtdIns in platelets labelled with [3H]arachidonic acid or [3H]palmitic acid, in which PtdIns was considerably labelled. In contrast, significant accumulation of [3H]DAG was not observed in [3H]myristic acid-labelled platelets, in which PtdIns was poorly labelled. In platelets prelabelled with [3H]inositol, an increase in InsP in response to thrombin was seen for more than 5 min. In contrast, upon stimulation, significant increases in [3H]phosphocholine and [3H]choline were not observed in [methyl-3H]choline-labelled platelets. Thrombin induced a small production of phosphatidylethanol, when ethanol was present during stimulation. However, the formation of DAG and phosphatidic acid was not significantly affected by ethanol. These results suggest that thrombin stimulates a biphasic accumulation of DAG, initially from PtdInsP2 and later from PtdIns in human platelets.

Abstract
1. Using [125I-Tyr0]-BK, as radiolabelled ligand, and various agonists and antagonists of bradykinin (BK) we identified a single class of specific BK2-binding sites in mesangial cell membranes (Bmax = 73 fmol mg-1 protein and Kd = 3.7 nM). 2. Following the addition of 0.1 microM BK, inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (IP3) formation increased within 20 s from a basal level of 64 to a maximal value of 175 pmol mg-1 protein. 3. Incubation in a Ca(2+)-free medium did not change IP3 production but a 5 min preincubation with 1 mM EGTA completely prevented the BK-induced IP3 formation, suggesting that IP3 formation is partly dependent on extracellular calcium. 4. The BK2 antagonist D-Arg-Hyp3-D-Phe7-BK (10 microM) but not the BK1 antagonist (des-Arg9-Leu8-BK) abolished IP3 production in response to 0.1 microM BK. Pretreatment of mesangial cells with pertussis toxin was without effect on BK-induced IP3 formation, whereas phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate significantly enhanced (by 25%) BK-induced IP3 formation. 5. The present data demonstrate that inositol phosphate breakdown in rat mesangial cells can be mediated via activation of a BK2-kinin receptor and is under negative control of protein-kinase C.

Abstract
To clarify the mechanism of contractive effects in arteries caused by oxyhemoglobin, changes in the concentration of cytosolic calcium [( Ca++]i) before and after exposure to oxyhemoglobin were measured in vitro in cultured vascular smooth-muscle cells obtained from rat aorta. This was accomplished by preloading these cells with a fluorescent intracellular Ca++ probe fura-2/AM. Oxyhemoglobin induced a significant elevation of [Ca++]i in vascular smooth-muscle cells which was sustained for 10 minutes. This response was completely abolished by chelating extracellular calcium with ethyleneglycol-bis (beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetra-acetic acid (EGTA). Oxyhemoglobin induced no accumulation of mass content of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3(1,4,5]. The oxyhemoglobin-induced elevation of [Ca++]i was not blocked by verapamil, a calcium antagonist. Serotonin induced a rapid, transient increase of [Ca++]i followed by a sustained elevation above baseline for 5 minutes. Additions of EGTA or verapamil had a small effect on the peak height of serotonin-induced [Ca++]i elevation, but the [Ca++]i level declined more quickly to the basal level in treated compared with control cells. These results indicate that oxyhemoglobin-induced [Ca++]i elevation is caused by the influx of extracellular calcium, which is independent of the verapamil-blocked voltage-gated calcium channel. The long-lasting high elevation of [Ca++]i caused by oxyhemoglobin suggests that oxyhemoglobin may contribute to the production of abnormal contractions and/or irreversible damage in vascular smooth-muscle cells.
