title: Adenosine inhibits histamine-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis mediated via pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein in human astrocytoma cells.
abstract: The effect of adenosine on phosphoinositide hydrolysis was examined in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Adenosine, L-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (L-PIA), and 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA) inhibited histamine-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in a concentration-dependent manner. The potency order of adenosine analogues for inhibition of inositol phosphate accumulation was L-PIA greater than adenosine greater than NECA, a finding indicating that A1-class adenosine receptors are involved in the inhibition. The reduction in inositol phosphate accumulation by L-PIA was blocked by an adenosine receptor antagonist, 8-phenyltheophylline. Stimulation of A1-class adenosine receptors inhibited isoproterenol-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation as well as histamine-induced inositol phosphate accumulation. Both inhibitory effects were blocked by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin [islet-activating protein (IAP)]. L-PIA also inhibited guanosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S)-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in membrane preparations, and 8-phenyl-theophylline antagonized the inhibition. L-PIA could not inhibit GTP gamma S-induced accumulation of inositol phosphates in IAP-treated membranes. Gi/Go, purified from rabbit brain, inhibited GTP gamma S-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in a concentration-dependent manner in membrane preparations. These results suggest that stimulation of A1-class adenosine receptors interacts with the IAP-sensitive G protein(s), resulting in the inhibitions of phospholipase C as well as adenylate cyclase in human astrocytoma cells.
