Stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by muscarinic receptor activation in the rat olfactory bulb.
The effect of muscarinic receptor activation on phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the rat olfactory bulb was investigated by determining either the inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) mass or the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates ([3H]InsPs). In miniprisms of rat olfactory bulb, carbachol produced an atropine-sensitive increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration. In a membrane preparation, the formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was stimulated by guanosine-5'-(3-O-thio) triphosphate (GTP gamma S), but not by carbachol. However, carbachol potentiated the GTP gamma S stimulation when the two agents were combined. In miniprisms prelabelled with [3H]myo-inositol, carbachol increased the accumulation of [3H]InsPs and this effect was significantly reduced by tissue treatment with either 1 microM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or 1 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Analysis of concentration-response curves indicated that carbachol (EC50 = 96 microM) and oxotremorine-M (EC50 = 8.2 microM) behaved like full agonists, whereas oxotremorine, BM5, arecoline and bethanechol were partial agonists. The carbachol stimulation of [3H]InsPs accumulation was counteracted with high affinity by the M1 antagonist pirenzepine (pA2 = 8.26), and less potently by the M3 antagonist para-fluorohexahydro-sila-difenidol (pA2 = 6.7) and the M2 antagonist AF-DX 116 (pA2 = 6.12). The biochemical and pharmacological properties of the muscarinic stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis were compared with those displayed by the muscarinic stimulation of adenylate cyclase in the rat olfactory bulb.
