title: Evidence that muscarinic cholinergic receptors selectively interact with either the cyclic AMP or the inositol phosphate second-messenger response systems.
abstract: The relative capacities of muscarinic cholinergic receptor (MR) and bradykinin (BK)-receptor activation to increase phosphoinositide hydrolysis and to increase cytosolic Ca2+ were compared in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma and 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. In 1321N1 cells, the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbachol and BK each stimulated a concentration-dependent accumulation of inositol phosphates (K0.5 approximately 10 microM and approximately 10 nM respectively) and a rapid increase in cytosolic Ca2+ as determined by quin2 fluorescence. In NG108-15 cells, BK alone stimulated a pertussis-toxin-insensitive accumulation of inositol phosphates (K0.5 approximately 10 nM) under conditions in which pertussis toxin completely inhibited MR-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase. BK also stimulated a rapid increase in cytosolic Ca2+ in NG108-15 cells. In contrast, no MR-mediated increase in phosphoinositide hydrolysis or change in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was observed in NG108-15 cells. These results support the idea that MR selectively interact with either the cyclic AMP or the inositol phosphate second-messenger systems.
