  • Title: Bradykinin-induced generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in fibroblasts and neuroblastoma cells: effect of pertussis toxin, extracellular calcium, and down-regulation of protein kinase C.

    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1988 Dec 30; 157(3):1429-35. PubMed ID: 2849940.
    Abstract:
    The net content of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] was measured in bradykinin (BK)-stimulated NIH3T3 fibroblasts and neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cells (NG108-15). BK-mediated production of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was not affected by replacing the medium with Ca2+-free medium, but addition of EGTA (1mM) to Ca2+-free medium markedly prevented production of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Although pertussis toxin (PT) treatment caused ADP-ribosylation in both NIH3T3 cells and NG108-15 cells, the BK-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation was considerably reduced in the former cells but not in the latter cells, suggesting that PT-sensitive and PT-insensitive GTP-binding proteins are involved in phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activation in fibroblasts and neuroblastoma cells, respectively. In NG108-15 cells down-regulated in protein kinase C (PKC) by long-term exposure to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), BK-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation was significantly enhanced compared to control cells.
