title: Phorbol esters modulate the high Ca2(+)-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in bovine parathyroid cells.
abstract: We examined the effects of TPA on the high Ca2(+)-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in bovine parathyroid cells to determine whether protein kinase C modulates phosphoinositide turnover in a fashion similar to that observed in other cell types stimulated by more classic Ca2+ mobilizing hormones. Following exposure of parathyroid cells to TPA (10(-6) M) for 10 or 30 minutes, there was a time- and dose-dependent inhibition of the accumulation of inositol monophosphate (IP), inositol bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) stimulated by 3 mM Ca2+. Half the maximal observed inhibition took place at 1-10 nM TPA, with 50-60% inhibition of high Ca2(+)-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates at 10(-6) M TPA. The active phorbol ester, 4 beta-phorbol didecanoate, produced similar effects; the inactive derivative, 4 alpha-phorbol didecanoate, was without effect. When parathyroid cells were exposed to TPA (10(-6) M) for varying times and were then incubated with high (3 mM) Ca2+, inhibition of inositol phosphate accumulation was observed with 10 or 30 minutes preincubation. In contrast, preincubation of cells with TPA for 3 or 18 h markedly enhanced the high (3 mM) Ca2(+)-induced increase in inositol phosphates. In cells preincubated with TPA for 18 h, binding sites for [3H]phorbol dibutyrate and total protein kinase C (PKC) activity were reduced by greater than 95% and by 71%, respectively, consistent with downregulation of the enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
