    In permeabilized hepatocytes, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 4,5-bisphosphate induced rapid release of Ca2+ from an ATP-dependent, non-mitochondrial vesicular pool, probably endoplasmic reticulum. The order of potency was inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate greater than inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate greater than inositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The Ca2+-releasing action of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is not inhibited by high [Ca2+], nor is it dependent on [ATP] in the range of 50 microM-1.5 mM. These results suggest a role for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate as a second messenger in hormone-induced Ca2+ mobilisation, and that a specific receptor is involved in the Ca2+-release mechanism.

    Dispersed mouse pancreas acinar cells were prepared in which phosphatidylinositol had been labeled with myo[2-3H]inositol. During incubation with 0.3 microM cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) for 15 min, there was a loss of [3H]phosphatidylinositol radioactivity (23%) and a 3-fold gain in trichloroacetic acid-soluble radioactivity. Replacement of NaCl by up to 58 mM LiCl did not significantly affect the amount of CCK-8-stimulated [3H]phosphatidylinositol breakdown or the gain in acid-soluble radioactivity. However, in normal medium, the product of phosphatidylinositol breakdown was almost all inositol, whereas in Li+-containing medium, the product was almost all inositol 1-phosphate. Similar results were obtained with acetylcholine which, in the presence of Li+, gave a dose-responsive increase in inositol 1-phosphate over the concentration range of 0.1 to 10 microM. No increased accumulation of [3H]inositol diphosphate or [3H]inositol triphosphate was detected in stimulated cells. Time courses in the presence of Li+ indicated that the formation of inositol 1-phosphate preceded the formation of inositol. Addition of up to 50 mM myoinositol to the incubation medium showed no diluting effect on the amount of [3H]inositol 1-phosphate found. The accumulation of inositol 1-phosphate is presumably due to the known ability of Li+ to inhibit myoinositol 1-phosphatase. The results provide clear evidence that stimulated phosphatidylinositol breakdown involves a phospholipase C type of phosphodiesterase activity. 1.25 mM Li+ gave half-maximal inositol 1-phosphate accumulation. This is close to the range of plasma Li+ levels which is used therapeutically in psychiatric disorders. In unstimulated cells, [3H]inositol 1-phosphate accumulation in the presence of Li+ corresponded to a breakdown rate for [3H]phosphatidylinositol of 2 to 3%/h.

    The agonist-dependent hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids was investigated by studying the breakdown of prelabelled lipid or by measuring the accumulation of inositol phosphates. Stimulation of insect salivary glands with 5-hydroxytryptamine for 6 min provoked a rapid disappearance of [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] and [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) but had no effect on the level of [3H]phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). The breakdown of PtdIns(4,5)P2 was associated with a very rapid release of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], which reached a peak 5 1/2 times that of the resting level after 5 s of stimulation. This high level was not maintained but declined to a lower level, perhaps reflecting the disappearance of PtdIns(4,5)P2. 5-Hydroxytryptamine also induced a rapid and massive accumulation of inositol 1,4-bisphosphate [Ins(1,4)P2]. The fact that these increases in Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,4)P2 precede in time any increase in the level of inositol 1-phosphate or inositol provides a clear indication that the primary action of 5-hydroxytryptamine is to stimulate the hydrolysis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 to yield diacylglycerol and Ins(1,4,5)P3. The latter is then hydrolysed by a series of phosphomonoesterases to produce Ins(1,4)P2, Ins1P and finally inositol. The very rapid agonist-dependent increases in Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,4)P2 suggests that they could function as second messengers, perhaps to control the release of calcium from internal pools. The PtdIns(4,5)P2 that is used by the receptor mechanism represents a small hormone-sensitive pool that must be constantly replenished by phosphorylation of PtdIns. Small changes in the size of this small energy-dependent pool of polyphosphoinositide will alter the effectiveness of the receptor mechanism and could account for phenomena such as desensitization and super-sensitivity.

    Using [32P]Pi and [3H]inositol as precursors, we have detected the presence of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, and their derivatives inositol phosphate, inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate respectively, in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes. Using digitonin-permeabilized cells it was possible to detect a stimulation in the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate as well as an increased generation of diacylglycerol in the presence of 1 mM-CaCl2. These results are consistent with the operation of a functional inositol phosphate/diacylglycerol pathway in T. cruzi, and constitute the first demonstration of the presence and activation of this pathway in a parasitic protozoan. These results also indicate that this pathway is conserved during evolution from lower to higher eukaryotic organisms.

    Abstract We previously showed that high extracellular calcium (Ca2+) concentrations raise the levels of inositol phosphates in bovine parathyroid cells, presumably via the G protein-coupled, “receptor-like” mechanism through which Ca2+ is thought to regulate these cells. To date, however, there are limited data showing Ca2+-evoked hydrolysis of phosphoinositides with attendant increases in the levels of the biologically active 1,4,5 isomer of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) that would be predicted to arise from such a receptor-mediated process. In the present studies we used HPLC and TLC, respectively, to quantify the high Ca2+-induced changes in various inositol phosphates, including the isomers of IP3, and phosphoinositides in bovine parathyroid cells prelabeled with [3H]inositol. In the absence of lithium, high Ca2+ dose dependently elevated the levels of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate [I(1,4,5)P3], with a maximal, 4- to 5-fold increase within 5 s; the levels of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate [I(1,3,4)P3] first rose significantly at 5–10 s and remained 5- to 10-fold elevated for at least 30 minutes. These changes were accompanied by reciprocal 29–36% decreases in PIP2 (within 5–10 s, the earliest time points examined), PIP (within 60 s), and PI (within 60 s). These results document that, as in other cells responding to more classic “Ca2+-mobilizing” hormones, the high Ca2+-evoked increases in inositol phosphates in bovine parathyroid cells arise from the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides, leading to the rapid accumulation of the active isomer of IP3. The latter presumably underlies the concomitant spike in the cytosolic calcium concentration (Cai) in parathyroid cells.
