Abstract
Exercise is a key component of a healthy lifestyle as it helps maintain a healthy body weight and reduces the risk of various morbidities and co-morbidities. Exercise is an acute physiological stress that initiates a multitude of processes that attempt to restore physiological homeostasis and promote adaptation. A component of the stress response to exercise is the rapid release of hormones from the adrenal gland including glucocorticoids, the catecholamines and aldosterone. While each hormone targets several tissues throughout the body, skeletal muscle is of interest as it is central to physical function and various metabolic processes. Indeed, adrenal stress hormones have been shown to elicit specific performance benefits on the muscle. However, how the acute, short-lived release of these stress hormones during exercise influences adaptations of skeletal muscle to long-term training remains largely unknown. Thus, the objective of this review was to briefly highlight the known impact of adrenal stress hormones on skeletal muscle metabolism and function (Old Dog), and critically examine the current evidence supporting a role for these endogenous hormones in mediating long-term training adaptations in skeletal muscle (New Tricks).

Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes hydrolyze the plasma membrane (PM) lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P2) to generate the second messengers inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) in response to receptor activation in almost all mammalian cells. We previously found that stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in cardiac cells leads to the PLC-dependent hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) at the Golgi, a process required for the activation of nuclear protein kinase D (PKD) during cardiac hypertrophy. We hypothesized that GPCR-stimulated PLC activation leading to direct PI4P hydrolysis may be a general mechanism for DAG production. We measured GPCR activation-dependent changes in PM and Golgi PI4P pools in various cells using GFP-based detection of PI4P. Stimulation with various agonists caused a time-dependent reduction in PI4P-associated, but not PI4,5P2-associated, fluorescence at the Golgi and PM. Targeted depletion of PI4,5P2 from the PM before GPCR stimulation had no effect on the depletion of PM or Golgi PI4P, total inositol phosphate (IP) production, or PKD activation. In contrast, acute depletion of PI4P specifically at the PM completely blocked the GPCR-dependent production of IPs and activation of PKD but did not change the abundance of PI4,5P2 Acute depletion of Golgi PI4P had no effect on these processes. These data suggest that most of the PM PI4,5P2 pool is not involved in GPCR-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and that PI4P at the PM is responsible for the bulk of receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and DAG production.

Abstract
Two G proteins that regulate phosphoinositide phospholipase C in liver plasma membranes have been purified to homogeneity in both the heterotrimeric and dissociated forms. The heterotrimers contain a 42 kDa or 43 kDa alpha subunit and a 35 kDa beta subunit. The alpha subunits are not ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin and are closely related immunologically to members of the recently identified Gq class of G proteins. The specific phosphoinositide phospholipase C isozyme that responds to the G proteins has been determined to the beta 1 isozyme. GTP analogues stimulate phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis in rat liver plasma membranes. The nucleotide specificity and Mg2+ dependency of the response indicate that it is mediated by a G protein. Phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol, choline and phosphorylcholine are the products, indicating that both phospholipase D and C activities are involved. Activation of phospholipase D is also indicated by the enhanced production of phosphatidyl-ethanol in the presence of ethanol.

Abstract
Receptor desensitization progressively limits responsiveness of cells to chronically applied stimuli. Desensitization in the continuous presence of agonist has been difficult to study with available assay methods. Here, we used a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based live cell assay for the second messenger diacylglycerol to measure desensitization of a model seven-transmembrane receptor, the Gq-coupled angiotensin II type 1(A) receptor, expressed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. In response to angiotensin II, we observed a transient diacylglycerol response reflecting activation and complete desensitization of the receptor within 2-5 min. By utilizing a variety of approaches including graded tetracycline-inducible receptor expression, mutated receptors, and overexpression or short interfering RNA-mediated silencing of putative components of the cellular desensitization machinery, we conclude that the rate and extent of receptor desensitization are critically determined by the following: receptor concentration in the plasma membrane; the presence of phosphorylation sites on the carboxyl terminus of the receptor; kinase activity of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, but not of G protein-coupled receptor kinases 3, 5, or 6; and stoichiometric expression of beta-arrestin. The findings introduce the use of the biosensor diacylglycerol reporter as a powerful means for studying Gq-coupled receptor desensitization and document that, at the levels of receptor overexpression commonly used in such studies, the properties of the desensitization process are markedly perturbed and do not reflect normal cellular physiology.

Abstract
Phospholipids are major building blocks for biological membranes. In addition, metabolites derived from their degradation are important signals in major cellular events, such as proliferation and apoptosis. The concept of lipid signaling in cells is derived mainly from the measurement of change in the concentration of lipid molecules. However, these changes in concentration are only a small part of the underlying metabolic change induced by a perturbation in the cell. In contrast, metabolic kinetic studies documenting product-precursor relationships and turnover rates are useful in elucidating the responsible mechanisms. Historically, metabolic studies of phospholipids in cells have been carried out with pulse or pulse-chase methods using radioactive isotopes. While these studies provide valuable information, their scope is restricted by inherent limitations. In this paper we describe a method using [1,2,3,4-13C(4)]palmitate as the tracer for studying the metabolic kinetics of the molecular species of diacylglycerol, ceramide, phosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin. After growing cells in the presence of labeled palmitate complexed to serum albumin, the lipids are extracted and separated into lipid classes. After enzymatic hydrolysis, diacylglyerols and ceramides as bis-trimethylsilyl derivatives are determined quantitatively with capillary column gas chromatography. Internal standards for each lipid class are used in the procedure. In addition, the isotopic enrichments of the lipid molecular species are determined with gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry. We applied this method to the study of HL60 cells. Different turnover rates were found for various molecular species. In addition, the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl groups appear to be synthesized at different rates for different molecular species. Other information, such as chain elongation and desaturation, might also be derived through the use of this method.

Abstract
Microsomal triglyceride (TG) transfer protein (MTP) is involved in the secretion of TG-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), a process which leads to the generation of hypertriglyceridemia and atherosclerosis. We investigated the possible role of Ca(2+) on MTP activity in hepatocytes. Exogenous CaCl(2) and calmodulin increased MTP activity dose-dependently, and calcium ionophore A23187 (A23187) also increased total Ca(2+) level and MTP activity in hepatocytes. Moreover, MTP activity increased by CaCl(2) or A23187 was abrogated in the presence of EDTA, a Ca(2+) chelator. MTP activity was increased by the simultaneous addition of CaCl(2) and calmodulin. However, this increase was inhibited by N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulfonamide (W-7), a Ca(2+) antagonist. A23187 increased the release of TG and cholesterol from hepatocytes, and these were inhibited by EDTA. A23187 also increased the ratio of TG to HDL-cholesterol in hepatocytes culture medium, which indicates the release of TG is higher than that of HDL-cholesterol from hepatocytes. Thus, our findings demonstrate that hepatocellular Ca(2+) contributes directly or indirectly to MTP activation. In conclusion, the inhibition of MTP activity via the suppression of hepatocellular Ca(2+) may result in the inhibition of hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol (DAG) and protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms have been implicated in insulin signalling in muscle and fat cells. We evaluated the involvement of DAG and PKC in the action of insulin in adult rat hepatocytes cultured with dexamethasone, but in the absence of serum, for 48 h. Our results show that although insulin stimulated glycolysis and glycogen synthesis, it had no effect on DAG mass or molecular species composition. Epidermal growth factor showed the expected insulin-mimetic effect on glycolysis, whereas ATP and exogenous phospholipase C acted as antagonists and abolished the insulin signal. Similarly to insulin, epidermal growth factor had no effect on DAG mass or molecular species composition. In contrast, both ATP and phospholipase C induced a prominent increase in several DAG molecular species, including 18:0/20:4, 18:0/20:5, 18:0/22:5 and a decrease in 18:1/18:1. These changes were paralleled by an increase in phospholipase D activity, which was absent in insulin-treated cells. By immunoblotting or by measuring PKC activity, we found that neither insulin nor ATP translocated the PKCalpha, -delta, -epsilon or -zeta isoforms from the cytosol to the membrane in cells cultured for six or 48 h. Similarly, insulin had no effect on immunoprecipitable PKCzeta. Suppression of the glycogenic insulin signal by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, but not by ATP, could be completely alleviated by bisindolylmaleimide. Finally, insulin showed no effect on DAG mass or translocation of PKC isoforms in the perfused liver, although it reduced the glucagon-stimulated glucose output by 75%. Together these results indicate that phospholipases C and D or multiple PKC isoforms are not involved in the hepatic insulin signal chain.

Abstract
A tip-high cytoplasmic calcium gradient has been identified as a requirement for hyphal growth in the fungus Neurospora crassa. The Ca2+ gradient is less steep compared to wall vesicle, wall incorporation and vesicular Ca2+ gradients, but this can be explained by Ca2+ diffusion. Analysis of the relation between the rate of hyphal growth and the spatial distribution of tip-localized calcium indicates that hyphal growth rates depend upon the tip-localized calcium concentration. It is not the steepness of the calcium gradient, but tip-localized calcium and the difference in tip-localized calcium versus subapical calcium concentration which correlate closely with hyphal growth rate. A minimal concentration difference between the apex and subapical region of 30 nM is required for growth to occur. The calcium concentration dependence of growth may relate directly to biochemical functions of calcium in hyphal extension, such as vesicle fusion and enzyme activation during cellular expansion. Initiation of tip growth may rely upon random Ca2+ motions causing localized regions of elevated calcium. Continued hyphal expansion may activate a stretch-activated phospholipase C which would increase tip-localized inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Hyphal expansion, induced by mild hypoosmotic treatment, does increase diacylglycerol, the other product of phospholipase C activity. This is consistent with evidence that IP3-activated Ca2+ channels generate and maintain the tip-high calcium gradient.

Abstract
Progesterone has been shown to act at plasma membrane receptors on the amphibian oocyte to trigger a cascade of changes in membrane phospholipids and to initiate the G(2)/M transition of the first meiotic division. The earliest event (0-1 min) is the transient N-methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to form phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PME), demonstrated using [(3)H]glycerol to prelabel oocyte plasma membrane PE. [(3)H]Glycerol-labeled PME rises 10-fold within the 1-2 min after exposure to progesterone and accounts for conversion of about 50% of the [3H]Glycerol-labeled PE. [(3)H]PME levels slowly decline over the following 10-30 min. [(3)H] or [(14)C] labeled fatty acid experiments showed that newly formed PME is enriched in linoleic or palmitic, but not in arachidonic acid, indicating that specific PE pools undergo progesterone-induced N-methylation. Two plasma membrane changes: activation of serine protease, and Ca(2+) release from the oocyte surface coincide with PME formation; both are prevented by pretreatment of oocytes with the N-methylation inhibitor, 2-methylaminoethane. Media containing PME micelles release both protease and Ca(2+) from intact oocytes within the first 1-2 min. The immediate downstream metabolites of PME, PDE and PC, do not induce serine protease activity or Ca(2+) release. We conclude that progesterone initially activates N-methyltransferase in the oocyte plasma membrane, and that the first product, PME, is responsible for activation of serine protease in the plasma membrane and the release of Ca(2+) from the oocyte surface.

Abstract
Cyclin D1 protein expression is regulated by mitogenic stimuli and is a critical component in the regulation of G(1) to S phase progression of the cell cycle. Angiotensin II (Ang II) binds to specific G protein-coupled receptors and is mitogenic in Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the rat vascular Ang II type 1A receptor (CHO-AT(1A)). We recently reported that in these cells, Ang II induced cyclin D1 promoter activation and protein expression in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-, SHP-2-, and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK)-dependent manner (Guillemot, L., Levy, A., Zhao, Z. J., Béréziat, G., and Rothhut, B. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 26349-26358). In this report, transfection studies using a series of deleted cyclin D1 promoters revealed that two regions between base pairs (bp) -136 and -96 and between bp -29 and +139 of the human cyclin D1 promoter contained regulatory elements required for Ang II-mediated induction. Mutational analysis in the -136 to -96 bp region provided evidence that a Sp1/early growth response protein (Egr) motif was responsible for cyclin D1 promoter activation by Ang II. Gel shift and supershift studies showed that Ang II-induced Egr-1 binding involved de novo protein synthesis and correlated well with Egr-1 promoter activation. Both U0126 (an inhibitor of the MAPK/ERK kinase MEK) and wortmannin (an inhibitor of PI3K) abrogated Egr-1 endogenous expression and Egr-1 promoter activity induced by Ang II. Moreover, using a co-transfection approach, we found that Ang II induction of Egr-1 promoter activity was blocked by dominant-negative p21(ras), Raf-1, and tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 mutants. Identical effects were obtained when inhibitors and dominant negative mutants were tested on the -29 to +139 bp region of the cyclin D1 promoter. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that Ang II-induced cyclin D1 up-regulation is mediated by the activation and specific interaction of Egr-1 with the -136 to -96 bp region of the cyclin D1 promoter and by activation of the -29 to +139 bp region, both in a p21(ras)/Raf-1/MEK/ERK-dependent manner, and also involves PI3K and SHP-2.

Abstract
The effects of Gö-6976, a Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) isozyme inhibitor, and rottlerin, a PKC-delta isozyme/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase III inhibitor, on responses to vasopressor agents were investigated in the feline pulmonary vascular bed. Injections of angiotensin II, norepinephrine (NE), serotonin, BAY K 8644, and U-46619 into the lobar arterial constant blood flow perfusion circuit caused increases in pressure. Gö-6976 reduced responses to angiotensin II; however, it did not alter responses to serotonin, NE, or U-46619, whereas Gö-6976 enhanced BAY K 8644 responses. Rottlerin reduced responses to angiotensin II and NE, did not alter responses to serotonin or U-46619, and enhanced responses to BAY K 8644. Immunohistochemistry of feline pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells demonstrated localization of PKC-alpha and -delta isozymes in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and angiotensin II. Localization of PKC-alpha and -delta isozymes decreased with administration of Gö-6976 and rottlerin, respectively. These data suggest that activation of Ca(2+)-dependent PKC isozymes and Ca(2+)-independent PKC-delta isozyme/CaM-dependent kinase III mediate angiotensin II responses. These data further suggest that Ca(2+)-independent PKC-delta isozyme/CaM-dependent kinase III mediate responses to NE. A rottlerin- or Gö-6976-sensitive mechanism is not involved in mediating responses to serotonin and U-46619, but these PKC isozyme inhibitors enhanced BAY K 8644 responses in the feline pulmonary vascular bed.

Abstract
The fungus Neurospora crassa is a model organism for investigating the biochemical mechanism of circadian (daily) rhythmicity. When a choline-requiring strain (chol-1) is depleted of choline, the period of the conidiation rhythm lengthens. We have found that the levels of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) increase in proportion to the increase in period. Other clock mutations that change the period do not affect the levels of DAG. Membrane-permeant DAGs and inhibitors of DAG kinase were found to further lengthen the period of choline-depleted cultures. The level of DAG oscillates with a period comparable to the rhythm of conidiation in wild-type strains, choline-depleted cultures, and frq mutants, including a null frq strain. The DAG rhythm is present at the growing margin and also persists in older areas that have completed development. The phase of the DAG rhythm can be set by the light-to-dark transition, but the level of DAG is not immediately affected by light. Our results indicate that rhythms in DAG levels in Neurospora are driven by a light-sensitive circadian oscillator that does not require the frq gene product. High levels of DAG may feed back on that oscillator to lengthen its period.

Abstract
The role of diacylglycerol (DAG) in hormonal induction of S phase was investigated in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. In this model, several agonists that bind to G protein-coupled receptors act as comitogens when added to the cells soon after plating (i.e., in Go/early Gl phase), while the cells are most responsive to the mitogenic effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) at 24-48 h of culturing (i.e., mid/late Gl). It was found that the cellular concentration of DAG rose markedly and progressively during the first 24 h of culturing. Exposure of the hepatocytes at 3 h to alpha1-adrenergic stimulation (norepinephrine with timolol), vasopressin, or angiotensin II further increased this rise, producing a sustained increase in the DAG level. Norepinephrine, which was the most efficient comitogen, produced the most prolonged DAG elevation. In contrast, no significant increase of DAG was found in response to EGF, neither at 3 nor at 24 h, using concentrations that markedly stimulated the ERK subgroup of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and DNA synthesis. Addition of Bacillus cereus phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) strongly elevated DAG, while Streptomyces phospholipase D (PLD) increased phosphatidic acid (PA) but not DAG. B. cereus PC-PLC and the protein kinase C (PKC) activator tetradecanoyl phorbol-acetate (TPA), like norepinephrine, vasopressin, and angiotensin II, stimulated MAPK and enhanced the stimulatory effect of EGF on DNA synthesis. The PKC inhibitor GF109203X did not diminish the effect of EGF on MAPK or DNA synthesis, but strongly inhibited the effects of norepinephrine, vasopressin, angiotensin II, TPA and B. cereus PC-PLC on MAPK and almost abolished the enhancement by these agents of EGF-stimulated DNA synthesis. These results suggest that although generation of DAG is not a direct downstream response mediating the effects of the EGF receptor in hepatocytes, a sustained elevation of DAG with activation of PKC markedly increases the responsiveness to EGF. Mechanisms involving DAG and PKC seem to play a role in the comitogenic effects of various agents that bind to G protein-coupled receptors and activate the cells early in Gl, such as norepinephrine, angiotensin II, and vasopressin.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that while vasopressin and angiotensin II are markedly more effective than norepinephrine and prostaglandin F2alpha in eliciting an acute elevation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), norepinephrine and prostaglandin F2alpha produce larger enhancement of DNA synthesis. This suggests that the initial activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C is not a common factor for the growth response to these agonists, but does not exclude a role of the integral of phospholipase C activity over a prolonged part of the prereplicative period, during which agonist-specific changes in responsiveness might occur. We show that vasopressin and angiotensin II also cause a prolonged elevation of cellular IP3 levels. which remain elevated for at least 60 min., while norepinephrine and prostaglandin F2alpha elevate IP3 levels slightly and transiently For vasopressin the dose-effect curves for IP3 accumulation and stimulation of DNA synthesis were closely parallel, while this was not the case for angiotensin II, norepinephrine, or prostaglandin F2alpha. After cultivation of the hepatocytes, hormone-stimulated IP3 accumulation rapidly declined, particularly in response to norepinephrine and prostaglandin F2alpha. When the IP3 response to norepinephrine and prostaglandin F2alpha was completely down-regulated, these agonists still enhanced the DNA synthesis. These results suggest that other mechanisms in addition to IP3 accumulation and Ca2+ release are likely to be involved in the growth stimulatory effects of the Ca2+-mobilizing agonists studied here, in particular for angiotensin II, norepinephrine, and prostaglandin F2alpha.

Abstract
Endothelin (ET) is a vasoconstrictor peptide released from endothelial cells that is known to cause prostaglandin (PG) release. The mechanism remains unclear. To determine whether the protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathway is stimulated by endothelin, we pretreated rat aortic endothelial cells with either PKC activator or inhibitors and measured the release of prostacyclin (PGI2) by radioimmunoassay. ET (10(-9) M) produced a 10-fold increase in PGI2 release. Pretreatment with 10(-9) M of three different PKC inhibitors: 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl) piperazine (CL), staurosporine, and 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl-methyl) piperazine (H7) blocked ET induced PGI2 release. ET induced prostacyclin release was also blocked by pretreatment with inhibitors of either phospholipase A2 (7,7,dimethyleicosadienoic acid or trifluoromethyl ketone analogue) (10(-9) M) or cyclooxygenase (indomethacin) (10(-9) M). We conclude that ET activates PKC which activates phospholipase A2 which liberates arachidonic acid which increases PGI2 production and release.

Abstract
Distinct, structurally different forms of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol are found in cells, these are polyunsaturated, mono- or di-unsaturated and saturated. The pathways that generate or metabolise sn-1, 2-diacylglycerol are reviewed. The evidence that it is the polyunsaturated forms of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol, but the more saturated forms of phosphatidate which function as intracellular signals is considered.

Abstract
In vitro studies with smooth muscle cells from rat aorta and dog cerebral blood vessels indicate that variation in free Mg2+, within the pathophysiological range of Mg2+ concentrations, found in human serum, causes sustained changes in membrane phospholipids and lipid second messengers. Incorporation of [3H]palmitic acid into phosphatidylcholine (PC) and sphingomyelin (SM) was altered within 15-30 min after modifying the extracellular Mg2+ ion level ([Mg2+]o). Decreased Mg2+ produced a fall in both [3H]SM and [3H]PC over the first 2 h. After an 18-h incubation, the [3H]PC/[3H]SM ratio changed from about 20:1 to about 50:1. Increased [Mg2+]o resulted in a 2- to 3-fold increase in [3H]SM compared to only a small increase in [3H]PC over the same period. There was a reciprocal relationship between [3H]ceramide and [3H]1,2-DAG levels with highest [3H]ceramide and lowest [3H]-1,2-DAG levels seen at lowest [Mg2+]o. The results indicate that a fall in extracellular ionized Mg2+ concentration produces a rapid and sustained decrease in membrane sphingomyelin and a moderate rise in intracellular ceramide. A major effect of lowering [Mg2+]o appears to be a down-regulation of SM synthase. The increased membrane SM content and a concomitant decrease in cell ceramide, in the presence of elevated [Mg2+]o, may be relevant to the apparent protective role of adequate Mg intake on vascular function in humans.

Abstract
Lithium enhances excitatory synaptic transmission in CA1 pyramidal cells, but the mechanisms remain unclear. The present study demonstrates that lithium enhances the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptor-mediated components of the excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC). Lithium decreased the magnitude of paired-pulse facilitation and presented an inverse correlation between the lithium-induced enhancement of synaptic transmission and initial paired-pulse facilitation, which is consistent with a presynaptic mode of action. The enhancement of synaptic strength is likely to act, at least in part, by increasing the amplitude of the presynaptic Ca2+ transient. One mechanism which could account for this change of the presynaptic Ca2+ transient is an increase in the duration of the action potential. We investigated action potential in hippocampal pyramidal neurons and found that lithium (0.5-6 mM) increased the half-amplitude duration and reduced the rate of repolarization, whereas the rate of depolarization remained similar. To find out whether the lithium synaptic effects might be explained by spike broadening, we investigated the field recording of the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) in hippocampal slices and found three lines of evidence. First, the prolongation of the presynaptic action potential with 4-aminopyridine and tetraethylammonium blocked or reduced the synaptic effects of lithium. Second, the lithium-induced synaptic enhancement was modulated when presynaptic Ca2+ influx was varied by changing the external Ca2+ concentration. Finally, both effects, the synaptic transmission increment and the action potential broadening, were independent of inositol depletion. These results suggest that lithium enhances synaptic transmission in the hippocampus via a presynaptic site of action: the mechanism underlying the potentiating effect may be attributable to an increased Ca2+ influx consequent to the broadening effect of lithium on the action potential.

Abstract
Cell surface receptors play a central role in the regulation of both cellular and systemic physiology by mediating intercellular communication, facilitating protein trafficking, and regulating virtually all intracellular processes. Receptor expression is often cell specific and is determined by cellular lineage, genetics, and a variety of factors in the extracellular milieu. As receptors are generally localized on the plasma membrane and differentially expressed in certain cell types and tissues, they provide a potential target for drug delivery. However, since most receptors are integrally connected with intracellular signal transduction networks, targeting via these receptors may elicit a biological response. This review describes some established and emerging concepts regarding the structure and functions of receptors. In addition, some aspects related to the regulation and crosstalk between receptors are discussed.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulation of vascular smooth muscle results in a myriad of intracellular signals that interact to produce the final physiologic response of the cell. We used rat aortic rings to investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in Ang II-induced contractions and in the concomitant release of endothelin (ET) and prostacyclin (PGI2). Ang II (10(-9) M) produced a rapid contraction which was sustained for 10 min. When aortic rings were pretreated with graded concentrations of each of the four different inhibitors of PKC, that is, (i) 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonylmethyl) piperazine (H7); (ii) 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl) piperazine(CL); (iii) staurosporine; or (iv) calphostin C, inhibition of Ang II-induced contractions began at 10(-9) M, and was nearly complete at 10(-6) M. Ang II-induced contractions were associated with a 10-fold increase in the release of both ET and PGI2. Pretreatment with 10(-6) M of any one of the same four PKC inhibitors blocked Ang II-induced release of both ET and PGI2. Pretreatment with a blocker of the endothelin-A receptor, BQ123 (10(-6) M), inhibited, by approximately 50%, Ang II-induced contractions, and the release of both ET and PGI2. In aortic rings denuded of endothelium, Ang II-induced contractions, and the release of both ET and PGI2 were significantly reduced, compared to intact rings. We conclude that PKC mediates Ang II-induced contractions in rat aortic rings and that the secondary release of both ET and PGI2 during Ang II-induced contractions is mediated, at least in part, by PKC. In addition, approximately half of Ang II-induced contractile force and of PGI2 release is dependent upon the ET released from endothelial cells.

Abstract
Chronic treatment with the immunosuppressive drug, Cyclosporine A (CsA), is associated with increased intracellular calcium in vascular smooth muscle cells, which may cause vasoconstriction and/or activate phospholipase A2. We used rat aortic rings to investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in CsA-induced contractions and secondary prostacyclin (PGI2) release. CsA (10(-9) M) produced a sustained contraction in rat aortic rings. Both CsA-induced contractions and PGI2 release were inhibited 84 to 89% by 10(-9) M, and 99 to 100% by 10(-6) M pretreatment doses of any of three different PKC inhibitors, i.e. 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonylmethyl) piperazine (H7), staurosporine or 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl) piperazine. Pretreatment with (10(-9) M) of diltiazem (a voltage-sensitive L-type calcium channel blocker) completely inhibited both CsA-induced contractions and PGI2 release. Conversely, pretreatment with (10(-9) M) of thapsigargin (an intracellular calcium channel blocker) did not alter the action of CsA. These results strongly suggest that PKC, in association with an influx of extracellular calcium mediates CsA-induced contractions and secondary PGI2 release in rat aortic rings.

Abstract
Short-term activation of microsomal cholesterol ester hydrolase by glucagon, cAMP analogues, and vasopressin in isolated rat hepatocytes is described. Glucagon led to a dose- and time-dependent activation of cholesteryl oleate hydrolysis, but values returned to basal levels within 120 min. Exposure of isolated hepatocytes to 0.5 mM concentrations of dibutyryl-cAMP or 8-[4-chlorophenylthio]-cAMP, or 25 microM forskolin caused persistent activation of cholesterol ester hydrolase activity after a lag period of 30 min. The three agents resulted in early marked intracellular accumulation of cAMP that declined progressively, and moderate and sustained reductions in the diacylglycerol content. The actions of glucagon on hepatocytes were inhibited by pretreatment of cells with 10 nM [8-arginine] vasopressin. Vasopressin elicited a consistent and sustained increase in cholesterol ester hydrolase activity and diacylglycerol without affecting cAMP while reducing the effect of glucagon on cAMP. Furthermore, the effects of glucagon and vasopressin on the activation of cholesterol ester hydrolase were not additive despite the similarity of their stimulation of diacylglycerol formation. Blockade of vasopressin-mediated activation of cholesterol ester hydrolase and diacylglycerol content were induced by excess prazosin. These data suggest that stimulation of microsomal cholesterol ester hydrolase in isolated liver cells may involve at least two signal transduction systems.

Abstract
Sciatic nerve phospholipids obtained from insulin-treated streptozocin-induced diabetic, non-treated streptozocin-induced diabetic, and healthy, control male Sprague-Dawley rats after eighteen weeks of diabetes were studied by 31P NMR spectrometry. Eleven phospholipids resonances were identified as follows: Phosphatidic acid (Chemical shift, 0.30 ppm), dihydrosphingomyelin (0.13 ppm), ethanolamine plasmalogen (0.07 ppm), phosphatidylethanolamine (0.03 ppm), phosphatidylserine (-0.05 ppm), sphingomyelin (-0.09 ppm), lysophosphatidylcholine (-0.28 ppm), phosphatidylinositol (-0.30 ppm), alkylacylglycerophosphorylcholine (-0.78 ppm), choline plasmalogen (-0.80 ppm), and phosphatidylcholine (-0.84 ppm). Diabetic rats showed that phosphatidylcholine was significantly elevated (p < 0.05), and ethanolamine plasmalogen and choline plasmalogen were significantly lower when compared with both control and insulin treated rats. The choline ratio (choline-containing phospholipids over noncholine phospholipids) was significantly elevated in the diabetic group, when compared with both control and insulin-treated groups. The ethanolamine ratio (ethanolamine-containing phospholipids over nonethanolamine phospholipids) and the ratio of the ethanolamine ratio over the choline ratio, was significantly elevated in the control and the insulin-treated groups when compared with the diabetic group. The presence of phosphatidic acid and the significance in phosphatidylcholine and ethanolamine plasmalogen, suggested that insulin had a role in the phosphatidylcholine metabolism in the rat nerve.

Abstract
In rat luteal cells labeled with [3H]oleic acid, PGF2 alpha-stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) activation was investigated. The PLD activity was detected by measuring the accumulation of [3H]phosphatidylethanol (PtdEt) in the presence of ethanol. PGF2 alpha stimulated PtdEt accumulation at concentrations of more than 100 nM in the presence of ethanol. However, PtdEt accumulation did not change in the absence of ethanol. PGF2 alpha (1 microM) increased PtdEt accumulation after 1 min, and the accumulation reached a plateau by 2-3 min. These results indicate that PGF2 alpha activates PLD in rat luteal cells. U-73122, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, and staurosporine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, did not inhibit PGF2 alpha-stimulated [3H]PtdEt accumulation. These results suggest that PGF2 alpha-induced PLD activation is different from PLC-PKC systems. We reported previously that PGF2 alpha stimulated the release of arachidonic acid. The effects of indomethacin, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), and 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA), inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism, on PGF2 alpha-stimulated PtdEt accumulation were examined. Pretreatment with indomethacin enhanced PGF2 alpha-induced PtdEt accumulation. In contrast, pretreatment with NDGA and ETYA inhibited PGF2 alpha-induced PtdEt accumulation. It is suggested that PGF2 alpha-stimulated PLD activation is mediated via lipoxygenase products.

Abstract
A causal or supportive relationship between 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) content and the maintenance of tonic vasoconstriction was sought in canine basilar arteries treated in vitro with various agents reported to increase DAG levels in other tissues (platelet-derived growth factor, vasopressin, angiotensin II, and endothelin-1) and, conversely, with agents known to activate sustained constriction (high K+, phorbol ester, hemolysate, and endothelin-1). Multiple segments from individual isolated arteries were prepared. Some segments were immediately frozen as controls and others incubated in physiological saline solution at 37 degrees C for either 5 minutes or 30 minutes in the presence or absence of different concentrations of the test materials. Segments were then quickly frozen until homogenized for lipid extraction and DAG assay. The DAG content of samples incubated up to 2 hours in physiological saline solution alone did not significantly differ from that of immediately frozen control samples. Resting DAG content expressed relative to total protein measured in each sample averaged 3.82 +/- 0.26 (standard error of the mean) pmol DAG/microgram of protein (74 samples from 37 arteries). Endothelin at 2 x 10(-7) mol/L led to a statistically significant increase in DAG content of approximately 40% of basal content at 5 and 30 minutes. A smaller increase in DAG attributable to hemolysate (approximately 25%) was statistically significant at 30 minutes, whereas vasopressin provoked a notable decrease in DAG content. The other agents had no effect. No differences in these results were noted between normal canine basilar arteries and arteries constricted in vivo by subarachnoid blood clot before isolation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested the importance of phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis in the control of cell growth. Because of the different replicative behavior between retinal pericytes and endothelial cells in early diabetic retinopathy, we have compared PC metabolism of these two types of cells under high-glucose conditions. Both types of cells growing in controlled glucose conditions were prelabeled with [32P]P(i) for testing phosphatidylethanol (PEt), a unique product of PC-specific phospholipase D, with [14C]glycerol for determining 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) de novo synthesis and labeled with selective fatty acids for PC-derived and phosphoinositide (PI)-derived DAG. The prelabeled cells were stimulated with ATP, a purinergic agonist. Analyses of products of PI and PC hydrolysis were carried out by TLC and/or HPLC. In both types of cells, ATP activated PI and PC hydrolysis. The dose and time dependencies of IP3 and PI-derived DAG formation with respect to ATP were essentially identical. When the level of IP3 and PI-derived DAG returned toward the baseline, a second increase in DAG mainly derived from PC occurred, lasting at least 1 h. High glucose altered DAG kinetics: in pericytes it suppressed both PI- and PC-derived DAG formation; in endothelial cells it stimulated the PC-derived DAG increase, but kept the PI-derived DAG unchanged. DAG de novo synthesis was stimulated in endothelial cells growing in high glucose, but was left unchanged in pericytes. Contrast to endothelial cells, in pericytes, subsequent mitogenic process may be negatively regulated by the inhibitory effects of high glucose on PI and PC hydrolysis, resulting in reduced levels of PC-derived DAG.

Abstract
The effect of modulation of the content of unsaturated free fatty acids on GTP-dependent fusion of stripped rough microsomes from rat liver was determined. Cytidine monophosphate, CDP and CTP were all observed to be able to stimulate free fatty acid accumulation and coincident membrane fusion. GTP was required for membrane fusion in the presence of cytidine nucleotide but was not required for free fatty acid accumulation. In the presence of GTP and cytidine nucleotide, the addition of ATP and CoA led to the synthesis of triacyglycerol and marked inhibition of both free fatty acid accumulation and membrane fusion. Delipidated bovine serum albumin also inhibited both free fatty acid accumulation and membrane fusion. Analysis by gas chromatography indicated that linoleic acid and arachidonic acid were the most actively fluctuating of the accumulated free fatty acids. Comparison by quantitation indicated a high correlation between GTP-dependent membrane fusion and changes in amount of unesterified linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. The results suggest that polyunsaturated free fatty acids may be required for GTP-dependent membrane fusion.

Abstract
The potential role of phospholipases in mediating melatonin-dependent inhibition of adenylyl cyclase was investigated in pars tuberalis (PT) cultures. The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) stimulated the release of choline metabolites and increased the transphosphatidylation reaction. The calcium ionophore A23187 stimulated the release of arachidonic acid from cultures. These observations demonstrate phospholipase A and D activities within PT. Phosphatidic acid inhibited forskolin-stimulated production of cyclic AMP both in PT cells and in membrane preparations. This indicates that melatonin could inhibit adenylyl cyclase by increasing phosphatidic acid levels through activation of cellular phospholipases. Melatonin did not stimulate the release of arachidonic acid or choline from PT cultures, nor did it increase intracellular levels of hydrophobic second messengers or stimulate transphosphatidylation. Therefore melatonin does not stimulate phospholipase A and D pathways in PT cells. However, these pathways are present in the PT and their activation could potentially modulate the cellular actions of melatonin.

Abstract
The peptide hormone angiotensin II (AngII) has clearly defined physiologic roles as a regulator of vasomotor tone and fluid homeostasis. In addition AngII has trophic or mitogenic effects on a variety of target tissues, including vascular smooth muscle and adrenal cells. More recent data indicate that AngII exhibits many characteristics of the 'classical' peptide growth factors such as EGF/TGF alpha, PDGF and IGF-1. These include the capacity for local generation ('autocrine or paracrine' action) and the ability to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation, to activate MAP kinases and to increase expression of nuclear proto-oncogenes. The type 1 AngII receptor, which is responsible for all known physiologic actions of AngII, has been cloned. Activation of this receptor leads to elevated phosphoinositide hydrolysis, mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and diacylglycerol, and activation of Ca2+/calmodulin and Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent Ser/Thr kinases, as well as Ca2+ regulated tyrosine kinases. The existence of other AngII receptor subtypes has been postulated, but the function(s) of these sites remains unclear. In vascular smooth muscle, AngII can promote cellular hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia, depending in part on the patterns of induction of secondary factors that are known to stimulate (PDGF, IGF-1, basic FGF) or inhibit (TGF-beta) mitosis. Together, these findings have suggested that AngII plays important roles in both the normal development and pathophysiology of vascular, cardiac, renal and central nervous system tissues.

Abstract
There are conflicting data about the effect of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) on protein kinase C (PKC) enzyme activity. The aim of our study was to find out which type of phospholipids [phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate PI4,5P2 or the other phospholipids-phosphatidylcholine (PC) or phosphatidic acid (PA)] could be the source of 1,2-diacylglycerol (1,2-DAG) in PKC activation. In colon carcinoma cells (HT29) we observed a more than 2-fold increase in the PC pool and at the same time decreased tyrosine kinase activity (50%). With increasing incubation time EGF affects the pools of both phosphatidylinositols and other phospholipids parallel with the activation of the tyrosine kinase activity. EGF increases the activity of PKC in the HT29 cell line and PC could be the source of 1,2-DAG which may stimulate PKC activity.

Abstract
Membrane and cytosol fractions from hepatocytes of both normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic animals were probed with a panel of polyclonal anti-peptide antisera in order to identify protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms. Immunoreactive species were noted with antisera specific for alpha (approximately 81 kDa), beta-II (approximately 82 kDA), epsilon (approximately 95 kDa) and epsilon (approximately 79 kDa). In addition, a species migrating with an apparent size of approximately 94 kDa was also detected in cytosol fractions using an antiserum specific for PKC-alpha. Each of these species was specifically displaced when the PKC-isoform specific peptide was included in the immunodetection system. No immunoreactive species consistent with the presence of the beta-I, gamma, delta and eta isoforms of protein kinase C was observed. Induction of diabetes using streptozotocin invoked selective alterations in the expression of PKC isoforms which were reversed upon insulin therapy. In the cytosol fraction, marked increases of approximately 3-fold occurred in levels of the beta-II isoform and the approximately 90 kDa (upper) form of PKC-alpha, with no apparent/little change in the levels of the approximately 81 kDa (lower) form of PKC-alpha and those of PKC-zeta. Diabetes induction also appeared to have elicited the translocation of PKC-beta-II and the approximately 81 kDa (lower) form of PKC-alpha to the membrane fraction where immunoreactivity for these species was now apparent. The level of PKC-epsilon, which was noted only in membrane fractions, was also increased upon induction of diabetes. It is suggested that the selective alterations in the expression of PKC isoforms occurring upon streptozotocin-induced diabetes may lead to altered cellular functioning and underly defects in inhibitory G-protein functioning and insulin action which characterise this animal model of diabetes.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that in the neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell line NG108-15 lithium is able to induce an increase in diacylglycerol levels. This effect was shown to be enhanced by the presence of bradykinin. Another striking effect of lithium was a marked gain in the level of the liponucleotide phosphatidyl-CMP. Increased phosphatidyl-CMP levels were detected in the presence of lithium alone but were considerably more pronounced in the presence of both lithium and bradykinin. These results are consistent with the inhibitory action of lithium on key enzymes of the degradation pathway of inositol phosphates, resulting in a decrease in cellular inositol content and in an elevation in levels of phosphorylated inositols. Comparison of the mass of the inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol showed that the lithium-induced diacylglycerol levels were substantially greater than would be expected from phosphoinositide hydrolysis alone. One possible reason for the increase in the level of diacylglycerol through the action of lithium is the reversal of the reaction for the formation of phosphatidyl-CMP. The resulting phosphatidic acid would then need to be further dephosphorylated to diacylglycerol. The lithium-induced elevation of phosphatidyl-CMP was prevented by addition of myo-inositol (10-30 mM), suggesting that the increase in liponucleotide level was due to depletion of cellular inositol. Under the same conditions the elevated diacylglycerol concentration remained unchanged. Consequently, phosphatidyl-CMP is not its source, and diacylglycerol may arise through an effect of lithium on the degradation of phospholipids other than phosphoinositides. The action of phospholipase C or D on phosphatidylcholine is the most likely mechanism.

Abstract
The rate of vanadate-sensitive 22Na+ uptake by isolated liver membrane vesicles, reflecting transport by Na+/K(+)-ATPase, was measured to study the role played by phospholipase C and protein kinase C in the regulation of this process by vasopressin. Na+ uptake was enhanced 2-3-fold by 100 nM [Arg8]vasopressin and the hormone effect was mimicked by 0.1 microM inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate as well as by 1.0 microM myo-inositol. The stimulation by vasopressin was potentiated by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from Bacillus thuringiensis (5-10 mU/ml). No effect of the bacterial enzyme was observed in the absence of the hormone. Phorbol myristate acetate (0.5-1 microM) suppressed the stimulation by vasopressin but had no effect in the absence of the hormone. High concentrations of bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (50-100 mU/ml) also antagonized the hormone stimulation. Staurosporine (50-100 nM) prevented the antagonistic effect of bacterial phospholipase C (50 mU/ml) and EGTA (1 mM) partially protected the hormonal stimulation in the presence of phorbol myristate acetate. Our results suggest that the stimulatory effect of vasopressin on Na+ transport is mediated by phospholipase C and products derived from the inositol moiety of membrane phospholipids. Membrane-associated protein kinase C appears to be at least partially responsible for the desensitization to stimulation by vasopressin.

The synthesis of 1-O-alkyl-2-(R)-hydroxypropane-3-phosphonocholine is described. An efficient alkylation procedure using (NaH/DMSO) catalysis is also described and applied to the synthetic scheme. The key intermediate 1-O-alkyl-2-(R)-O-benzyl-3-bromopropane was phosphonylated using tris(methylsilyl)phosphite; the resulting phosphonic acid was coupled to choline using trichloroacetonitrile/pyridine or triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride/pyridine followed by catalytic hydrogenation to yield 1-O-alkyl-2(R)-hydroxypropane-3-phosphonocholine.
