title: Involvement of decreased myo-inositol transport in lipopolysaccharide-induced depression of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in vascular smooth muscle.
abstract: The mechanism underlying lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression of phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis was investigated using rat aortas. In LPS-pretreated aortas, the 5-hydroxytryptamine-stimulated accumulation of inositol monophosphate and incorporation of exogenous myo-inositol into PIs were significantly less than those in control aortas. Both sodium-myo-inositol cotransporter (SMIT) and phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) genes were constituently expressed in rat aortas. The mRNA level of SMIT was remarkably lower in LPS-pretreated aortas, while that of PITP mRNA was not affected by LPS. These results suggest that LPS-induced depression of SMIT expression is involved in inhibition of agonist-stimulated PI hydrolysis by LPS.
