title: Early effects of beta-adrenergic and muscarinic secretagogues on lipid and phospholipid metabolism in guinea pig parotid acinar cells. Stimulation of 2,3-sn-diacylglycerol formation by isoproterenol.
abstract: The early effects (0-120 s) of the beta-adrenergic secretagogue isoproterenol (2.10(-5) M) and the muscarinic secretagogue carbamoylcholine (2.10(-6) M) on various parameters of lipid and phospholipid metabolism were studied in isolated guinea pig parotid acinar cells. Both agonists enhanced within 10-20 s the incorporation of radioactive palmitate into the diacylglycerol, the triglyceride, and the phosphatidylinositol fractions but significantly diminished radioactive palmitate recovered in the acyl-CoA fraction. Carbamoylcholine decreased and isoproterenol increased the recovery of radioactive palmitate in the free fatty acid fraction. All changes had returned almost to control levels after 120 s. In cells prelabeled with [3H]arachidonate, carbamoylcholine exerted similar effects, whereas isoproterenol was almost ineffective. Both agonists stimulated the incorporation of radioactive glycerol into diacylglycerols 2-3-fold, while only carbamoylcholine stimulated the incorporation of [32P]phosphate into phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidate. Both agonists induced an increase in total diacylglycerols, carbamoylcholine being about twice as effective as isoproterenol. A lower concentration of carbamoylcholine (6.5.10(-7) M) had the same quantitative effect as 2.10(-5) M isoproterenol on the increase of total diacylglycerols. Even under these conditions carbamoylcholine, but not isoproterenol led to a significant translocation of protein kinase C from the soluble to the particulate fraction. Isoproterenol remained ineffective in this respect also when intracellular free calcium was increased with a calcium ionophore. This is explained by the finding that isoproterenol stimulates preferentially the formation of 2,3-sn-diacylglycerol, and carbamoylcholine preferentially stimulates the formation of 1,2-sn-diacylglycerol. The results indicate that in the guinea pig parotid acinar cell the two agonists do not only lead to activation of a triglyceride lipase (isoproterenol) or phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase(s) (carbamoylcholine), but also to a rapid change of flux through a number of other enzyme-catalyzed reactions involved in diacylglycerol turnover.
