title: Glutamate-stimulated, guanine nucleotide-mediated phosphoinositide turnover in astrocytes is inhibited by cyclic AMP.
abstract: The potential for cross-talk between the adenyl cyclase and phosphoinositide (PPI) lipid second messenger system was investigated in astrocytes cultured from neonatal rat brain. Glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover, measured by the formation of total inositol phosphates from myo-[3H]inositol-labeled lipids, was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by the elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP levels produced either by stimulation of the isoproterenol receptor linked to adenyl cyclase or by its direct activation by forskolin. N6,2'-O-Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, an analogue that can also activate cyclic AMP-dependent kinase, inhibited glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover in a concentration-dependent manner as well, a result suggesting that cyclic AMP-dependent kinase is involved in mediating the inhibition. Inclusion of an inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent kinase, 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2 methylpiperazine dihydrochloride or N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide hydrochloride, blocked the cyclic AMP-mediated inhibition in a concentration-dependent manner, a finding further supporting this hypothesis. The site of inhibition of the phosphoinositol lipid pathway by cyclic AMP was probed using a digitonin-permeabilized cell system. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), a nonhydrolyzable analogue of GTP, stimulated PPI turnover and potentiated glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover, and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiodiphosphate) inhibited glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover in these cells, results providing evidence that glutamate receptors are coupled to phospholipase C by a guanine nucleotide binding protein in astrocytes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
