Alterations in binding of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to subcellular structures of rat liver during chronic endotoxemia.
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) binding to, and Ca2+ uptake and release by plasma membrane- and endoplasmic reticulum-enriched fractions of rat liver were measured after continuous Escherichia coli endotoxin (ET) administration in vivo. IP3 binding to both fractions was significantly reduced by ET treatment. This was associated with decreased Ca2+ uptake and impaired IP3-dependent Ca2+ release. A decrease of 5'-nucleotidase specific activity of plasma membrane-enriched fraction was also observed in ET treated rats. The results suggest that previously observed impairments in the ability of hepatocytes to mobilize Ca2+, to activate glycogen phosphorylase and to respond--when saponin permeabilized--by Ca2+ release upon IP3 addition during chronic endotoxemia are due to alterations in both IP3 binding to the subcellular fractions that are imputed to be targets of IP3, and a decrease in the size of IP3-sensitive pool of releasable Ca2+.
