Abstract
Members of the beta isozyme subfamily of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) are stimulated by alpha subunits and betagamma dimers of heterotrimeric guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins). Myeloid differentiated human HL-60 granulocytes and bovine neutrophils contain a soluble phospholipase C, which is stimulated by the metabolically stable GTP analogue guanosine (5'-->O)-3-thiotriphosphate (GTP[S]). To identify the component(s) involved in mediating this stimulation, the relevant polypeptide(s) was resolved from endogenous phospholipase C and purified from bovine neutrophil cytosol by measuring its ability to confer GTP[S] stimulation to exogenous recombinant PLCbeta2. The resolved factor, which behaved as 48-kDa protein upon gel filtration, stimulated PLCbeta2 but not PLCbeta1 or PLCdelta1. Activation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase was not involved in this stimulation. The purified stimulatory factor consisted of two polypeptides of molecular masses of approximately 23 kDa and 26 kDa. The protein stimulated a deletion mutant of PLCbeta2 that lacked a carboxyl-terminal region necessary for stimulation by members of the alpha(q) subfamily of the G-protein alpha subunits. The results of this study suggest that a GTP-binding protein distinct from alpha(q) subunits, probably a low-molecular-mass GTP-binding protein associated with a regulatory protein, is involved in isozyme-specific activation of PLCbeta2.

Abstract
The regulation of phosphoinositidase C (PIC) activity by guanosine-5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) was characterized in a cholate-solubilized peripheral myelin-enriched fraction from rat sciatic nerve. The GTP analog maximally enhanced PIC-catalyzed hydrolysis of exogenous phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in a dose-dependent manner only within a narrow range of cholate concentrations. Maximal stimulation was attained at 0.6 microM GTP gamma S and could be completely prevented by 1 microM guanosine-5'-(2-O-thio)diphosphate. Neither adenylyl-imidodiphosphate nor adenosine triphosphate (ATP) enhanced PIC activity. Carbamoylcholine (1 mM) added together with GTP gamma S increased the extent of PIP2 hydrolysis over that elicited by GTP gamma S alone and this stimulation was blocked by the muscarinic receptor antagonist, atropine (50 microM). In detergent-solubilized myelin preparations from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, a higher concentration of the guanine nucleotide analog was required to achieve stimulation comparable to that obtained with corresponding preparations from normal animals. These results suggest that sciatic nerve myelin possesses muscarinic receptors coupled via a GTP-binding protein to PIC and that this system can be reconstituted in detergent-solubilized extracts. It is possible that the function of G proteins in cell signaling is impaired in experimental diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of exogenously added, [3H]inositol-labeled, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by rat parotid membranes was increased, dose-dependently, by the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbamylcholine (carbachol) in the presence of guanosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S). The stimulation was inhibited by atropine and guanosine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (GDP beta S). GTP gamma S alone stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis, with half-maximal activation at 0.1 microM. This was inhibited by GDP beta S but not by atropine. Agonist stimulation of PIP2 hydrolysis was dependent on the presence of lipids (phosphatidylserine:phosphatidylethanolamine:PIP2 = 1:1:1). When PIP2 was added as micelles with detergent (sodium deoxycholate) only, basal hydrolysis was elevated, thus decreasing the relative stimulation by GTP gamma S and carbachol. The water-soluble hydrolysis products formed under either condition were 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate, 1,4-inositol bisphosphate, and cyclic inositol trisphosphate. Hydrolysis of exogenous phosphatidylinositol (PI) was also stimulated by carbachol in the presence of GTP gamma S but the extent of PI hydrolysis was 44-fold lower than PIP2 hydrolysis. When [Ca2+] in the medium was increased from 100 nM to 1 microM, basal hydrolysis of both PI and PIP2 increased (9.3- and 19.2-fold, respectively). However, levels of basal and stimulated PIP2 hydrolysis were higher (37.9- and 29.6-fold, respectively) than those of PI hydrolysis. Antibodies (both polyclonal and monoclonal) raised against phospholipase C (PLC beta 1) from bovine brain did not react with any component in either rat parotid membranes or cytosol, although a reactivity was detected in rat brain membranes. A monoclonal antibody against bovine brain PLC gamma 1 detected a approximately 150-kDa protein only in the parotid cytosol, while antisera against bovine brain PLC delta 1 enzyme showed no reactivity with parotid membranes or cytosol. Together, these observations suggest that while there appears to be a protein similar to bovine brain PLC gamma 1 in parotid gland cytosol, the PLC which mediates PIP2 hydrolysis in rat parotid membranes and can be regulated by the muscarinic receptor via a G-protein is distinct from the well-characterized PLC enzymes gamma 1, delta 1, and beta 1.

Abstract
Mouse keratinocytes are induced to differentiate in vitro by elevating the level of extracellular calcium from 0.05 mM, where keratinocytes express a basal cell phenotype, to greater than 0.10 mM, where they express the differentiated phenotype. This process has been associated with a rapid, sustained increase in inositol phosphate (InsP) turnover, which precedes the expression of differentiation-specific proteins. In 0.05 mM Ca2+ medium, aluminum and fluoride salts (AIF4-), which combine to activate nonspecifically heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding (G) proteins, cause a concentration-dependent increase in InsP metabolism in keratinocytes, and generate elevated intracellular diacylglycerol levels. This is associated with an inhibition of cell growth. Treatment with both AIF4- and Ca2+ greater than 0.10 mM resulted in an additive increase in InsP turnover, implying the presence of at least two responsive InsP pools. AIF4- inhibited the expression of differentiation markers induced by Ca2+ greater than 0.10 mM and altered the morphology of keratinocytes from squamous to dendritic, which was reversible upon withdrawal of AIF4-. Neoplastic keratinocytes, in which basal levels of InsP metabolism are higher than in normal cells, do not differentiate in response to Ca2+. Neoplastic keratinocytes responded to AIF-4 treatment with an even greater rise in InsP metabolism. AIF-4 also inhibited cell growth and reversibly altered morphology in neoplastic keratinocytes. These data suggest that InsP metabolism in keratinocytes is at least partially regulated by a G protein mechanism. Furthermore, an increase in InsP metabolism is not sufficient to stimulate differentiation and may be inhibitory to differentiation if exceeding limited increases. However, these observations cannot exclude the possibility that other AIF-4 stimulated pathways involving G or non-G proteins can also influence keratinocyte biology.

Abstract
Exposure of pig epidermis to adenylate cyclase stimulators results in receptor-specific desensitization. We investigated the nature of the agonist-induced desensitization, which was compared with the phorbol ester-induced, receptor-nonspecific desensitization. Both phorbol ester-induced desensitization and the agonist-induced desensitization were accompanied by an increase in forskolin- and cholera toxin-induced cyclic AMP accumulations. The magnitude of the increase in the agonist-induced desensitization was parallel to the degree of the initial cyclic AMP accumulation; histamine and adenosine, which increase more cyclic AMP than epinephrine, resulted in a more marked increase in forskolin- and cholera toxin-induced cyclic AMP accumulations. Similarly, epidermis desensitized to multiple receptors revealed more marked forskolin- and cholera toxin-induced cyclic AMP accumulations than epidermis desensitized to a single receptor. In contrast to the phorbol ester-induced desensitization, agonist-induced desensitization was not affected by the protein kinase C inhibitors H-7 and staurosporin. Further, agonist-induced desensitization was still inducible in phorbol ester-desensitized epidermis and vice versa. In contrast to the agonist-induced desensitization, which is accompanied by the preceding adenylate cyclase stimulation, no evidence for the stimulation of the adenylate cyclase during phorbol ester treatment was obtained. Neither agonist-induced desensitization nor phorbol ester-induced desensitization affected the content of inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein of the epidermis, which was monitored by the pertussis toxin (IAP)-catalyzed ADP ribosylation reaction. Our results indicate that agonist-induced desensitization and the phorbol ester-induced desensitization are independent of each other. Although both processes are characterized by increased forskolin- and toxin-induced cyclic AMP accumulations, the former is accompanied by initial cyclic AMP accumulation; the latter is not.

Abstract
Histologic and clinical improvement of sun-exposed skin following topical treatment with retinoic acid has been reported. Daily application of retinoic acid typically results within 2-5 d in an erythematous scaling reaction, which lessens with continued usage. The cellular, immunologic, and biochemical basis of this retinoid reaction and its role in the repair of photodamaged skin are not known. To investigate the retinoid reaction in man, we have treated non-sun-exposed skin with 0.1% retinoic acid cream (Retin-A, Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, Raritan, NJ) under occlusion for 4 d to induce erythema and then examined changes in 1) histology, 2) expression of cell-surface molecules, 3) the enzymes and second messengers of the phospholipase C/protein kinase C signal-transduction system, 4) levels of eicosanoids, and 5) levels of interleukin-1 protein and mRNA. These parameters were chosen for measurement both because they are indicators of epidermal function and previous studies suggest they may be responsive to retinoic acid treatment. Epidermal cell growth as judged by increased epidermal thickness and mitotic figures was significantly increased in retinoic acid-treated skin compared to vehicle-treated controls. Increased numbers of CD4+ T cells accompanied by prominence of dermal dendrocytes in the papillary dermis and focal keratinocyte expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 were observed in retinoic acid-treated biopsies. Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activity and 1,2-diacylglycerol content were also elevated in retinoic acid-treated epidermis. Protein kinase C activity was reduced by one third in both the soluble and membrane fraction, suggesting down-regulation. Surprisingly, in view of the inflammatory nature of the retinoid reaction, no increases were observed in arachidonic acid, its metabolites, interleukin-1 alpha, or interleukin-1 beta. To examine the specificity of the retinoid reaction, subjects were treated with the irritant sodium lauryl sulfate, under conditions that resulted in a reaction clinically similar to that observed with retinoic acid. The histologic alterations induced by sodium lauryl sulfate were found to be indistinguishable from those induced by retinoic acid. These data indicate that, although a wide range of cellular and molecular alterations occur in retinoic acid-treated skin, these changes may not be necessarily specific or unique for retinoic acid.

Abstract
A major impetus for further investigation of cellular immunologic mechanisms in psoriasis has been the discovery that cyclosporine, a potent immunosuppressive, is highly effective in the treatment of psoriasis. Cyclosporine has significant inhibitory effects on the ability of T cells to become activated. However, a direct activity of this drug on human keratinocyte signal transduction or growth has been difficult to demonstrate at relevant concentrations. Nevertheless, treatment of psoriasis or of 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate-treated murine skin with cyclosporine does reverse many epidermal abnormalities that are common to these two systems. This suggests that the compound exerts an indirect effect on epidermal keratinocytes in vivo, perhaps through immunocyte inhibition. During treatment of psoriasis patients, cyclosporine therapy resulted in selective changes in the numbers and functions of certain antigen-presenting cell subsets (which were distinct from Langerhans cells) and T-cell subsets. These changes were accompanied by indirect evidence of decreased T-cell lymphokine release. Lesional activity of cyclosporine-treated psoriasis patients was closely correlated with the degree of T-cell activation caused by antigen-presenting cells. Cyclosporine inhibition of lymphokine or cytokine release may result in decreased recruitment of non-Langerhans antigen-presenting cells into the epidermis and thus decreased immunoreactivity in the lesion.

Abstract
The effects of bradykinin on activation of phosphoinositide turnover, 1,2-diglyceride formation, and growth of cultured adult human keratinocytes were investigated. Keratinocytes specifically bound [3H]bradykinin with high affinity (kd = 3.4 nM) and displayed 1.5 X 10(5) binding sites/cell. Bradykinin caused a rapid dose-dependent increase in inositol trisphosphate (IP3) inositol bisphosphate, and inositol monophosphate. IP3 was maximally increased (fivefold) at 30 s and remained elevated for at least 10 min. Half maximal stimulation of IP3 formation was observed at 27 nM bradykinin. IP3 accumulation was equally elevated by bradykinin and lys-bradykinin but was not stimulated by des-Arg9-bradykinin, indicating that phospholipase C in cultured keratinocytes is coupled to B2 bradykinin receptors. Treatment of keratinocytes with active phorbol ester (TPA) caused a significant inhibition (50%) of bradykinin-induced IP3 accumulation, suggesting negative regulation of phospholipase C by protein kinase C. Bradykinin also caused a significant elevation in 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) content. DAG content was maximally elevated (twofold) at 1 min and remained elevated for at least 10 min. Bradykinin also caused a significant (twofold, p less than 0.02) increase in keratinocyte growth. These data demonstrate that bradykinin is a potent agonist of the phospholipase C/protein kinase C signal transduction system in cultured adult human keratinocytes and that activation of this pathway by bradykinin is associated with increased keratinocyte growth.

Abstract
Myeloid differentiated human leukaemia (HL-60) cells contain a soluble phospholipase C that hydrolysed phosphatidylinositol 4.5-bisphosphate and was markedly stimulated by the metabolically stable GTP analogue guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]). Half-maximal and maximal (up to 5-fold) stimulation of inositol phosphate formation by GTP[S] occurred at 1.5 microM and 30 microM respectively. Other nucleotides (GTP, GDP, GMP, guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate. ATP, adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, UTP) did not affect phospholipase C activity, GTP[S] stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation was inhibited by excess GDP, but not by ADP. The effect of GTP[S] on inositol phosphate formation was absolutely dependent on and markedly stimulated by free Ca2+ (median effective concn. approximately 100 nM). Analysis of inositol phosphates by anion-exchange chromatography revealed InsP3 as the major product of GTP[S]-stimulated phospholipase C activity. In the absence of GTP[S], specific phospholipase C activity was markedly decreased when tested at high protein concentrations, whereas GTP[S] stimulation of the enzyme was markedly enhanced under these conditions. As both basal and GTP[S]-stimulated inositol phosphate formation were linear with time whether studied at low or high protein concentration, these results suggest that (a) phospholipase C is under an inhibitory constraint and (b) GTP[S] relieves this inhibition, most likely by activating a soluble GTP-binding protein.

Abstract
Islet-activating protein (IAP), one of the pertussis toxins, serving [alpha-32P]nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as a substrate for ADP ribosylation, radiolabelled a specific pig epidermal membrane protein. The IAP-specific substrate was detectable by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a single band corresponding to a molecular weight of 40 kDa. The ADP ribosylation catalysed by IAP was inhibited by the addition of Mg2+ to the reaction mixture. IAP is known to work on intact cell systems resulting in the ADP ribosylation using intracellular NAD as the ADP ribose donor. Following IAP pretreatment of intact pig epidermis, the epidermal receptor adenylate cyclase responses were markedly increased; all the stimulatory receptor adenylate cyclase responses (beta-adrenergic, prostaglandin E, adenosine and histamine responses) were significantly increased. Cholera toxin-induced cyclic AMP accumulation was also significantly increased. Forskolin-induced cyclic AMP accumulation was slightly increased after IAP pretreatment, but this was not statistically significant. The IAP-dependent ADP ribosylation of the epidermal 40 kDa membrane protein, which was prepared from the IAP pretreated epidermis, was significantly decreased. It is known that the tumour promoter, phorbol 12-myristate,13-acetate (PMA), decreases stimulatory receptor adenylate cyclase responses of the epidermis. Following the PMA pretreatment, IAP-dependent ADP ribosylation of the epidermal membrane protein was unaffected. Furthermore, following the PMA pretreatment, the IAP-induced increase in the epidermal receptor adenylate cyclase responses still remained. Our results indicate that pig epidermis contains 40 kDa membrane substrate for IAP-dependent ADP ribosylation, which has an inhibitory tonus on the epidermal adenylate cyclase until its ADP ribosylation by IAP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
