Agonist-stimulated inositol polyphosphate formation in cerebellum.
The accumulation of inositol polyphosphates in the cerebellum in response to agonists has not been demonstrated. Guinea pig cerebellar slices prelabeled with [3H]inositol showed the following increases in response to 1 mM serotonin: At 15 s, there was a peak in 3H label in the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], decreasing to a lower level in about 1 min. The level of 3H label in the putative second-messenger inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4] increased rapidly up to 60 s and increased slowly thereafter. The accumulation of 3H label in various inositol phosphate isomers at 10 min, when steady state was obtained, showed the following increases due to serotonin: inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4)P3], eight-fold; Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, 6.4-fold; Ins(1,4,5)P3, 75%; inositol 1,4-bisphosphate [Ins(1,4)P2], 0%; inositol 3,4-bisphosphate, 100%; inositol 1-phosphate/inositol 3-phosphate, 30%; and inositol 4-phosphate, 40%. [3H]Inositol 1,3-bisphosphate was not detected in controls, but it accounted for 7.2% of the total inositol bisphosphates formed in the serotonin-stimulated samples. The fact that serotonin did not increase the formation of Ins(1,4)P2 could be due to the fact that Ins(1,4)P2 is rapidly degraded or that Ins(1,4,5)P3 is metabolized primarily by Ins(1,4,5)P3-3'kinase to form Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. In the presence of pargyline (10 microM), [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 levels were increased, even at 1 microM serotonin. Ketanserin (7 microM) completely inhibited the serotonin effect, indicating stimulation of serotonin2 receptors. Quisqualic acid (100 microM) also increased the levels of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3, [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, and [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3, but the profile of these increases was different.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
