Metabolism of inositol phosphates in alpha 1-adrenoceptor-stimulated and homogenized cardiac myocytes of adult rats.
Previous studies demonstrated the accumulation of inositol mono- and poly-phosphates in carbamoylcholine-stimulated cultured cardiac ventricular myocytes of adult rats [Berg, Guse & Gercken (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1010, 100-107]. Stimulation with noradrenaline (50 microM) in the presence of propranolol (10 microM) led to a time-dependent pattern of inositol mono- and poly-phosphates in cultured cardiac-ventricular myocytes. Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 increased in a rapid initial phase. The degradation products of Ins(1,4,5)P3, namely Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(4)P, accumulated between 1 and 15 min. Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was rapidly dephosphorylated to Ins(1,3,4)P3, which was then metabolized to Ins(1,3)P2 and Ins(3,4)P2. The last two InsP2 isomers and their degradation products, Ins(1)P and Ins(3)P (determined as an enantiomeric mixture), increased at extended stimulation periods. To confirm the pathway of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 degradation, homogenates of isolated ventricular myocytes were incubated with [3H]INs(1,3,4,5)P4. The subsequent products were Ins(1,3,4)P3, Ins(3,4)P2, Ins(1,3)P2 and InsP. The effect of noradrenaline was antagonized by prazosin (0.1 microM), but not by yohimbine (0.1 microM), indicating phosphoinositidase activation via the alpha 1-adrenoceptor.
