Abstract
Simple Summary Allergic diseases are presenting a constant increase all over the world and caused by such different substances as food, drugs, and pollens. Anaphylactic shock is the more severe complication of allergy which can induce death if the treatment is not administered immediately. Some patients do not respond to the recommended treatment, intra venous or intramuscular epinephrine. The pathophysiology of anaphylactic shock is still under investigation. The mediators released after the activation of mast cells and basophiles act on endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, inducing the vasodilation responsible for hypotension and shock. Nitric oxide and hydrogen sulphide are both intracellular mediators that induce vasodilation. The role of potassium voltage dependent channels is suspected. We aimed to demonstrate the ability of a blocker of potassium voltage dependent channels, 4-aminopyridine, alone or in combination with inhibitors of cystathionine γ-lyase to restore blood pressure and improve survival in an ovalbumin rat anaphylactic shock model. The blockade of potassium voltage dependent channels alone or combined with inhibitors of cystathionine γ-lyase, dl-propargylglycine, or β-cyanoalanine restored blood pressure and improved survival. These findings suggest possible investigative treatment pathways for research concerning epinephrine-refractory anaphylactic shock in patients. Abstract The mechanism of anaphylactic shock (AS) remains incompletely understood. The potassium channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), the inhibitors of cystathionine γ-lyase (ICSE), dl-propargylglycine (DPG) or β-cyanoalanine (BCA), and the nitric oxide (NO) synthase produce vasoconstriction and could be an alternative for the treatment of AS. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the ability of L-NAME, ICSE alone or in combination with 4-AP to restore blood pressure (BP) and improve survival in ovalbumin (OVA) rats AS. Experimental groups included non-sensitized Wistar rats (n = 6); AS (n = 6); AS (n = 10 per group) treated i.v. with 4-AP (AS+4-AP), epinephrine (AS+EPI), AS+DPG, AS+BCA, or with L-NAME (AS+L-NAME); or AS treated with drug combinations 4-AP+DPG, 4-AP+BCA, 4-AP+L-NAME, or 4-AP+EPI. AS was induced by i.v. OVA (1 mg). Treatments were administered i.v. one minute after AS induction. Mean arterial BP (MAP), heart rate (HR), and survival were monitored for 60 min. Plasma levels of histamine, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and F2 (PGF2α), leukotriene B4 and C4, angiotensin II, vasopressin, oxidative stress markers, pH, HCO3, PaO2, PaCO2, and K+ were measured. OVA induced severe hypotension and all AS rats died. Moreover, 4-AP, 4-AP+EPI, or 4-AP+BCA normalized both MAP and HR and increased survival. All sensitized rats treated with 4-AP alone or with 4-AP+BCA survived. The time-integrated MAP “area under the curve” was significantly higher after combined 4-AP treatment with ICSE. Metabolic acidosis was not rescued and NO, ICSE, and Kv inhibitors differentially alter oxidative stress and plasma levels of anaphylactic mediators. The AS-induced reduction of serum angiotensin II levels was prevented by 4-AP treatment alone or in combination with other drugs. Further, 4-AP treatment combined with EPI or with BCA also increased serum PGF2α, whereas only the 4-AP+EPI combination increased serum LTB4. Serum vasopressin and angiotensin II levels were increased by 4-AP treatment alone or in combination with other drugs. Moreover, 4-AP alone and in combination with inhibition of cystathionine γ-lyase or EPI normalizes BP, increases serum vasoconstrictor levels, and improves survival in the Wistar rat model of AS. These findings suggest possible investigative treatment pathways for research into epinephrine-refractory anaphylactic shock in patients.

Abstract
Agonist-induced activation of the RhoA/Rho kinase (ROCK) pathway results in inhibition of myosin phosphatase and maintenance of myosin light chain (MLC20) phosphorylation. We have shown that RhoA/ROCKII translocates and associates with heat shock protein (HSP)27 in the particulate fraction. We hypothesize that inhibition of the 130-kDa regulatory myosin-binding subunit (MYPT) requires its association with HSP27 in the particulate fraction. Furthermore, it is not certain whether regulation of MYPT by CPI-17 or by ROCKII is due to cross talk between RhoA and PKC-alpha. Presently, we examined the cross talk between RhoA and PKC-alpha in the regulation of MYPT phosphorylation in rabbit colon smooth muscle cells. Acetylcholine induced 1) sustained phosphorylation of PKC-alpha, CPI-17, and MYPT; 2) an increase in the association of phospho-MYPT with HSP27 in the particulate fraction; 3) a decrease in myosin phosphatase activity (66.21+/-3.52 and 42.19+/-3.85% nM/ml lysate at 30 s and 4 min); and 4) an increase in PKC activity (298.12+/-46.60% and 290.59+/-22.07% at 30 s and 4 min). Inhibition of RhoA/ROCKII by Y-27632 inhibited phosphorylation of MYPT and its association with HSP27. Both Y27632 and a negative dominant construct of RhoA inhibited phosphorylation of MYPT and CPI-17. Inhibition of PKCs or calphostin C or selective inhibition of PKC-alpha by negative dominant constructs inhibited phosphorylation of MYPT and CPI-17. The results suggest that 1) acetylcholine induces activation of both RhoA and/or PKC-alpha pathways, suggesting cross talk between RhoA and PKC-alpha resulting in phosphorylation of MYPT, inhibition of myosin phosphatase activity, and maintenance of MLC phosphorylation; and 2) phosphorylated MYPT is associated with HSP27 and translocated to the particulate fraction, suggesting a scaffolding role for HSP27 in mediating the association of the complex MYPT/RhoA-ROCKII. Thus both pathways (PKC and RhoA) converge on the regulation of myosin phosphatase activities and modulate sustained phosphorylation of MLC20.

Abstract
ACh-induced contraction of esophageal circular muscle (ESO) depends on Ca2+ influx and activation of protein kinase Cepsilon (PKCepsilon). PKCepsilon, however, is known to be Ca2+ independent. To determine where Ca2+ is needed in this PKCepsilon-mediated contractile pathway, we examined successive steps in Ca2+-induced contraction of ESO muscle cells permeabilized by saponin. Ca2+ (0.2-1.0 microM) produced a concentration-dependent contraction that was antagonized by antibodies against PKCepsilon (but not by PKCbetaII or PKCgamma antibodies), by a calmodulin inhibitor, by MLCK inhibitors, or by GDPbetas. Addition of 1 microM Ca2+ to permeable cells caused myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, which was inhibited by the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine, by D609 [phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C inhibitor], and by propranolol (phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase inhibitor). Ca2+-induced contraction and diacylglycerol (DAG) production were reduced by D609 and by propranolol, alone or in combination. In addition, contraction was reduced by AACOCF(3) (cytosolic phospholipase A(2) inhibitor). These data suggest that Ca2+ may directly activate phospholipases, producing DAG and arachidonic acid (AA), and PKCepsilon, which may indirectly cause phosphorylation of MLC. In addition, direct G protein activation by GTPgammaS augmented Ca2+-induced contraction and caused dose-dependent production of DAG, which was antagonized by D609 and propranolol. We conclude that agonist (ACh)-induced contraction may be mediated by activation of phospholipase through two distinct mechanisms (increased intracellular Ca2+ and G protein activation), producing DAG and AA, and activating PKCepsilon-dependent mechanisms to cause contraction.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined the effect of vasopressin on the induction of the low-molecular-weight heat shock proteins heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and alphaB-crystallin in an aortic smooth muscle cell line, A10 cells. Vasopressin induced a time-dependent accumulation of HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin. The stimulatory effects of vasopressin were dose-dependent over the range 0.1 nmol/L to 0.1 micromol/L. The EC50 values for vasopressin were 2 (HSP27) and 4 nmol/L (alphaB-crystallin). Vasopressin induced increases in the levels of the mRNAs for HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), a protein kinase C (PKC)-activating phorbol ester, induced an accumulation of HSP27 (EC50, 20 nmol/L) and alphaB-crystallin (EC50, 2 nmol/L). In contrast, 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, a non-PKC-activating phorbol ester, had no such effect. Staurosporine and calphostin C, inhibitors of PKC, significantly reduced the vasopressin-induced accumulation of HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin as well as that induced by TPA. BAPTA/AM and TMB-8, inhibitors of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, significantly reduced the vasopressin-induced accumulation of HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin. These results strongly suggest that vasopressin stimulates the induction of HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin via PKC activation in vascular smooth muscle cells and that this effect of vasopressin is dependent on intracellular Ca2+ mobilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS In esophageal circular muscle, acetylcholine activates phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipases C and D and phospholipase A2, producing diacylglycerol and arachidonic acid, which cause contraction by interacting synergistically to activate protein kinase C. In a model of acute esophagitis, leukotriene D4 (LTD4) contributes to acetylcholine-induced contraction. We examined intracellular signaling in LTD4-induced contraction. METHODS Esophageal and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) cells, isolated by enzymatic digestion, were contracted by LTD4 in the absence or presence of inhibitors. Permeabilization by saponin allowed use of G-protein antibodies and heparin. RESULTS Esophageal contraction was inhibited by pertussis toxin, Gi3 antibodies, D609 (phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C inhibitor), propranolol (phospholipase D pathway inhibitor), and chelerythrine (protein kinase C antagonist) but not W7 (calmodulin antagonist). LES contraction was unaffected by pertussis toxin. It was inhibited by Gq antibodies, U-73122 (phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C inhibitor), heparin (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate inhibitor), and W7 and reduced by D609. CONCLUSIONS In the esophagus, LTD4 activates a protein kinase C-dependent pathway through pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi3 proteins and phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase. In the LES, LTD4 activates a calmodulin-dependent pathway through pertussis toxin-insensitive Gq proteins and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. The intracellular pathways activated by LTD4 in the esophagus and the LES are similar to those activated by acetylcholine and other agonists.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinase (DG kinase) is activated by various stimuli in many types of cells. We reported earlier that carbachol (CCh) induced DG kinase translocation from the cytosolic fraction to the membrane fraction in guinea pig taenia coli (Biochem. Pharmacol., 50: 591-599, 1995). In this study, the regulation mechanisms of DG kinase translocation are reported, based on the following findings: 1) CCh sustained an increase in DG kinase in the membrane fraction and a decrease in the cytosolic fraction; 2) blocking calcium influx by removing extracellular calcium did not affect the CCh-induced sustained DG kinase translocation; 3) exposing purified protein kinase C (PKC) to DG kinase increased DG kinase affinity to octylglycoside micelles only with the enzyme extracted from the cytosolic fraction; and 4) CCh-induced DG kinase translocation was reversed by removing CCh, and the serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid, blocked the reversal of the translocation. These results suggest that CCh-induced DG kinase translocation is promoted by both a transient increase in intracellular calcium, which may be released from the intracellular store, and by DG kinase phosphorylation by PKC.

Abstract
Arg8-vasopressin (AVP) is a potent inducer of myogenic differentiation stimulating the expression of myogenic regulatory factors. To understand the mechanism of its effect on myogenesis, we investigated the early signals induced by AVP in myogenic target cells. In the rat skeletal muscle cell line L6, AVP selectively stimulates phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) breakdown, through the activation of phospholipases C and D (PLC, PLD), as shown by the generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and phosphatidylethanol (PtdEtOH), respectively. AVP induces the biphasic increase of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) consisting in a rapid peak followed by a sustained phase, and the monophasic generation of phosphatidic acid (PA). Propranolol (a PA phosphatase inhibitor) and Zn2+ (a PLD inhibitor), abolish the sustained phase of DAG generation. Our data indicate that PtdIns-PLC activity is mainly responsible for the rapid phase of AVP-dependent DAG generation, whereas the sustained phase is dependent upon PtdCho-PLD activity and PA dephosphorylation, ruling out any significant role of DAG kinase. Modifications of PA level correlate with parallel changes of PLC activity, indicating a possible cross-talk between the two signal transduction pathways in the intact cell. PLD activation is elicited at AVP concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than those required for PLC activation. The differentiation of L6 myoblasts into multinucleated fibers is stimulated significantly by AVP at concentrations at which PLD, but not PLC, is activated. These data provide the first evidence for an important role of PLD in the mechanism of AVP-induced muscle differentiation.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of phospholipids in vasopressin-stimulated baby hamster kidney (BHK)-21 and H9c2 myoblastic cells was investigated. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in these cells were pulse labelled with [3H]glycerol, [3H]myristate, [3H]choline or [3H]ethanolamine, and chased with the non-labelled precursor until linear turnover rates were obtained. When cells labelled with [3H]glycerol or [3H]myristate were stimulated by vasopressin, no significant decrease in the labelling of phosphatidylcholine was detected, but the labelling of phosphatidic acid was elevated. However, the labellings of phosphatidylethanolamine and its hydrolytic product were not affected by vasopressin stimulation. When the cells were pulse labelled with [3H]-choline, vasopressin stimulation caused a decrease in the labelled phosphatidylcholine with a corresponding increase in the labelled choline. The apparent discrepancy between the two types of labelling might be explained by the recycling of labelled phosphatidic acid back into phosphatidylcholine, thus masking the reduction in the labelled phospholipid during vasopressin stimulation. Alternatively, the labelled choline produced by vasopressin stimulation was released into the medium, thus reducing the recycling of label precursor back into the phospholipid and making the decrease in the labelling of phosphatidylcholine readily detectable. Further studies revealed that vasopressin treatment caused an enhancement of phospholipase D activity in these cells. The presence of substrate-specific phospholipase D isoforms in mammalian tissues led us to postulate that the differential stimulation of phospholipid hydrolysis by vasopressin was caused by the enhancement of a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D in both BHK-21 and the H9c2 cells.

Abstract
These experiments were designed to learn the role of bradykinin induced changes in intracellular Ca2+ in the activation of phospholipase D activity in PC12 cells. Ionomycin at a concentration of 0.1 microM caused an increase in intracellular Ca2+ comparable to bradykinin, but had no effect on phospholipase D activity. Carbachol, ATP, and thapsigargin also increased intracellular Ca2+ but had no effect on phospholipase D activity. Increases in intracellular Ca2+ may be a necessary but not a sufficient factor in the activation of phospholipase D. To investigate this issue, the bradykinin induced increase in intracellular Ca2+ was blocked by preincubating the cells in Ca(2+)-free media plus EGTA or in media containing the intracellular Ca2+ chelator BAPTA/AM. These preincubations completely blocked the bradykinin induced increase in intracellular Ca2+ but only attenuated the bradykinin mediated activation of phospholipase D. Physiological increases in intracellular Ca2+ apparently do not mediate the effect of bradykinin on phospholipase D.

Abstract
Phospholipase D belongs to a group of membrane associated phospholipases which have been shown to be activated by G-protein coupled neurotransmitter receptors. Phosphatidylcholine is the primary substrate for phospholipase D generating phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline. In the presence of 1% ethanol, phospholipase D catalyzes a transphosphatidylation reaction generating phosphatidylethanol (PEt) which is an indicator of phospholipase D activation. In the present study, we utilized Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with and expressing a rat V1a vasopressin receptor to study the regulation of phospholipase D by protein kinase C and calcium. Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) stimulated the release of 3H-PEt and 3H-PA in cells pre-labelled overnight with 3H-palmitic acid. The phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), stimulated the release of PEt and PA that was additive with AVP over 15 min. However, long-term stimulation with PMA, which desensitizes protein kinase C, decreased PEt production while simultaneously increasing PA production. Differential regulation of PEt and PA production by PMA suggests the existence of more than one phospholipase D isoenzyme. Though differentially regulated by protein kinase C, both AVP-stimulated PEt and PA production required extracellular and not intracellular calcium.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined the effect of vasopressin (AVP) on phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D activity in primary cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. AVP stimulation of choline formation was dose dependent. The time-course was quite different from those of inositol phosphates. The effect of AVP on the formation of inositol phosphates (EC50 was 3 nM) was more potent than that on the formation of choline (EC50 was 30 nM). 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), stimulated the formation of choline. However, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, which is inactive for PKC, had little effect. Staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinases, which inhibited the TPA-induced formation of choline, had little effect on the AVP-induced formation of choline. Neither calphostin C, a highly specific PKC inhibitor, nor PKC down-regulation with TPA affected AVP-induced formation of choline. A combination of AVP and TPA additively stimulated the formation of choline. The depletion of extracellular Ca2+ by (ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)tetraacetic acid significantly reduced the AVP-induced formation of choline. W-7, an antagonist of calmodulin, inhibited the AVP-induced formation of choline in a dose-dependent manner. NaF, an activator for GTP-binding protein (G-protein), stimulated the formation of choline. However, the formation of choline by a combination of AVP and NaF was not additive. Pertussis toxin had little effect on the AVP-induced formation of choline.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Changes in diacylglycerol kinase (DG kinase) activity in carbachol (CCh)-stimulated guinea pig taenia coli were investigated. In a mixed micellar assay system, added 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (diC8) and endogenous DG were competitively bound to common DG kinase isozymes from guinea pig taenia coli and phosphorylated, suggesting that diC8 is useful as a probe of agonist effects on DG kinase activity. In phosphorus-32 ([32P]Pi)- and diC8-prelabeled guinea pig taenia coli, diC8 was phosphorylated by DG kinase to [32P]dioctanoyl-phosphatidic acid ([32P]diC8-PA). CCh increased the accumulation of both [32P]diC8-PA and endogenous [32P]phosphatidic acid ([32P]PA) in a time- and dose-dependent manner (0.1-100 microM CCh). CCh-induced increases in [32P]diC8-PA and [32P]PA were inhibited by 1 microM atropine and 3 microM DG kinase inhibitor (R59022). These findings indicated the activation of DG kinase by muscarinic receptor stimulation in guinea pig taenia coli. Therefore, DG kinase activation may play an important role in CCh-induced PA formation. CCh-induced [32P]diC8-PA and [32P]PA accumulation was dependent on intracellular calcium concentrations. However, a KCl-induced increase in intracellular calcium, without receptor stimulation, was ineffective. Moreover, treatment with phorbol ester also increased accumulation of both PA species in KCl-treated tissues. These findings suggest that muscarinic receptor mediated activation of DG kinase may require both an increase in intracellular calcium and PKC activation in guinea pig taenia coli.

Abstract
We have investigated the mechanism of action by which insulin increases phosphatidate (PA) and diacylglycerol (DAG) levels in cultured rat hepatocytes. Insulin initially stimulated phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase D (PC-PLD) with a significant increase in both PA and intracellular as well as extracellular choline. The involvement of phospholipase D was confirmed by the formation of PC-derived phosphatidylethanol in the presence of ethanol. The DAG increase appeared to be biphasic. Only the early phase of DAG production was inhibited by propranolol, an inhibitor of the phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) responsible for the conversion of PA into DAG, suggesting that initially the DAG increase is due to the PLD-PAP pathway. The delayed DAG increase was in parallel with increased intracellular and extracellular phosphocholine and probably derived directly from PC-PLC activity. Experiments performed in the presence of 1 microM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) indicated that protein kinase C (PKC) mediated the insulin effect on PC-PLC, but not on PC-PLD. These findings were confirmed using the PKC inhibitors calphostin, H7 and staurosporine. The dual activation of these phospholipases with a biphasic elevation of DAG levels and activation of specific PKC isoenzymes could be necessary to elicit both early and delayed effects of insulin.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin mediates its effects through vasopressin receptor activation and second messenger production. Recent cloning of the V1a receptor provided the opportunity to investigate the possible signal transduction pathways associated with this single vasopressin receptor subtype. When stably expressed in CHO cells, vasopressin stimulated several signal transduction pathways simultaneously including calcium influx, phospholipase A2, phospholipase C, and phospholipase D. Vasopressin-stimulated release of arachidonic acid, IP3 formation, and phosphatidylethanol formation (in the presence of 1% ethanol) were used as indexes of phospholipase A2, phospholipase C, and phospholipase D activation, respectively. V1a receptor-activation stimulated a peak followed by a sustained plateau phase of intracellular calcium. The plateau phase was dependent on extracellular calcium, insensitive to blockers of voltage sensitive calcium channels, blocked by heavy metals, and quenched when MnCl2 was present in the extracellular media. Removal of extracellular calcium blunted the release of IP3, and blocked the release of arachidonic acid and phosphatidylethanol indicating that these responses were at least in part regulated by receptor-operated calcium influx. Vasopressin-stimulated release of arachidonic acid and phosphatidylethanol were augmented with the phorbol ester PMA, and this augmentation was blocked by inhibitors of protein kinase C and absent with long-term PMA treatment. Vasopressin-stimulated IP3 release was inhibited with PMA and the inhibition reversed with protein kinase C inhibitors.

Abstract
1. We examined whether or not caffeine caused an endothelium-dependent contraction (EDC) in canine mesenteric artery and whether the endothelium-dependent contracting factors (EDCF) were arachidonic acid metabolites. 2. Caffeine (1, 3 and 10 mM) caused a transient contraction in endothelium-intact arterial strips. Removal of the endothelium significantly attenuated the caffeine (1 and 3 mM)-induced contraction. 3. Caffeine (1 mM)-induced EDC was not affected by quinacrine and manoalide (phospholipase A2 inhibitors), indomethacin and aspirin (cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors), ONO-3078 and S-1452 (thromboxane A2 antagonists) or AA-861 and TMK-777 (lipoxygenase inhibitors). 4. Caffeine (1 mM)-induced EDC was also unaffected by 50-235 (an endothelin A receptor antagonist). In addition, catalase combined treatment with superoxide dismutase, or allopurinol (antioxidant) did not affect the EDC. 5. Gro-PIP and NCDC (phospholipase C inhibitors) did not affect the caffeine-induced EDC. However, wortmannin (a phospholipase D inhibitor) and staurosporine (a protein kinase C inhibitor) attenuated the caffeine-induced EDC. 6. The present experiments demonstrate that caffeine causes an EDC in canine mesenteric artery and suggest that the EDCF mediating this response is probably not arachidonic acid metabolites, endothelin or superoxide. Instead, caffeine-induced EDC may be due to activation of the phospholipase D pathway.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activity, as measured by the transphosphatidylation of cellular phospholipids, is elevated in BALB/c 3T3 cells transformed by v-Src. Phorbol esters that activate protein kinase C (PKC) also increase PLC activity in BALB/c 3T3 cells. v-Src-induced PLD activity could be distinguished from phorbol ester-induced PLD activity by differential radiolabelling of phospholipids, which are the substrates of PLD. Both v-Src- and phorbol ester-induced PLD activity could be detected when phospholipids were prelabelled with either radiolabelled myristate or palmitate; however, only phorbol ester-induced PLD activity could be detected when either arachidonate or 1-O-alkyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine (alkyl-lysoPC) was used to prelabel the phospholipids. The increased PLD activity in v-Src-transformed cells was not detected when the cells were prelabelled with either arachidonic acid or alkyl-lysoPC, which contains an ether linkage at sn-1 of the glycerol backbone. As both arachidonic acid and alkyl-lysoPC are incorporated into phosphatidylcholine (PC), the substrate for v-Src-induced PLD activity, these data suggest that the PLD activated by v-Src can distinguish PCs lacking arachidonic acid and ether linkages. Consistent with v-Src activating a PLD activity that is distinct from that activated by phorbol esters that activate PKC directly, neither depleting cells of PKC nor treatment with the protein kinase inhibitor, staurosporine, had any effect on v-Src-induced PLD activity, whereas both PKC depletion and staurosporine inhibited phorbol ester-induced PLD activity. Taken together, these data suggest that v-Src activates a PKC-independent PLD activity that is specific for a subpopulation of PC and distinct from the PLD activity induced by PKC activity induced by phorbol esters. The diacylglycerol produced from PC by the action of the v-Src-induced PLD may therefore be responsible for the activation of PKC by v-Src.

Abstract
We sought to relate norepinephrine (NE) stimulation of phosphatidic acid (PA) production to functional responses of rat aorta and pathways for PA production. The time course for changes in PA was closely related to Ca-dependent tonic responses in 42K efflux and contraction. NE (30 microM for 1 min) increased PA and reduced phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylinositol (PI) based on Pi analyses and 32P labeling of phospholipids. The 32P-to-Pi ratio in PA (0.8 +/- 0.2, n = 13) was similar to PC (0.8 +/- 0.1, n = 14) but was significantly lower (P < 0.001) than PI (4.6 +/- 0.5, n = 14). The 32P-to-Pi ratio in PA was also lower (P < 0.02) than phosphatidylinositol phosphate and phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate. NE also increased [3H]PA twofold (P < 0.05) when PC was selectively labeled with [3H]myristic acid. These observations are more consistent with PA being formed from the hydrolysis of PC by phospholipase D (PLD) than by the phosphorylation of diacylglycerol produced by the action of phospholipase C. PLD was assayed by the formation of phosphatidylethanol (PEt) via a transphosphatidylation reaction with ethanol (half-maximal stimulation at 0.4-0.5% vol/vol). The time course for PLD stimulation by NE was similar to PA, with significant increases (P < 0.002) during 10 s to 30 min exposure. Once formed, PEt was degraded slowly, with a half time > 3 h. It is concluded that NE stimulates PLD in rat aorta, which forms a significant amount of PA from the hydrolysis of PC.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have compared the properties of a rat aorta-derived protein kinase C substrate (p75) with those of 80 kDa kinase C substrates from rat brain (MARCKS) and rabbit aorta (p80). Rat aortic p75 appeared to be closely related to rat brain MARCKS on the basis of: solubility in perchloric acid and trichloroacetic acid, heat stability, isoelectric point (pI approximately 4.2), overall V8 protease phosphopeptide map, and immunocrossreactivity with an antibody directed against the N-terminal domain of MARCKS. However, p75 could be distinguished from rat brain MARCKS and from the rabbit aorta-derived p80 on the basis of its consistently more rapid electrophoretic mobility in SDS-containing gels, and in terms of a unique proteolytic phosphopeptide found in MARCKS but not in aortic p75. We conclude that p75 probably belongs to the family of protein kinase C substrates represented by MARCKS, and that differences in post-translational processing (glycosylation) or mRNA processing may account for the unique properties of the p75 protein in rat aortic tissue.

Abstract
The stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD) activity by endothelin-1 (ET1) was investigated in rabbit iris sphincter prelabelled with [3H]myristic acid. In the presence of 0.5% ethanol, ET1 caused a time- and dose-dependent increase in the production of [3H]phosphatidylethanol ([3H]PEt). Within 30 s the peptide increased PEt formation by 30% and after 5 min increased it by 140%. The EC50 value for ET1-stimulated PEt formation was found to be 30 nM. This value is appreciably lower than the EC50 we previously obtained for ET1-induced inositol trisphosphate production (45 nM), but considerably higher than that for arachidonic acid release (1 nM). PEt formation was significantly stimulated by prostaglandin F20, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), chloroform, A23187 and A1F4-, but it was not affected by carbachol or the platelet-activating factor. PDBu-stimulated PEt formation was blocked by staurosporine and it was not potentiated by A23187. Staurosporine had no effect on ET1-stimulated PEt formation. Our data indicate that ET1 stimulation of PLD occurs independently of protein kinase C activation, phospholipase C activation and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, and phospholipase A2 activation. In this tissue the ET1 receptor is probably coupled to the three phospholipases through several G-proteins, and this appears to be species and receptor type specific.

Abstract
1. The characteristics of vasopressin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCh) hydrolysis were examined in A10 vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), by assessing the formation of [3H]-inositol phosphates ([3H]-IP) and the accumulation of the phospholipase D (PLD) specific product, [3H]-phosphatidylbutanol ([3H]-PtdBuOH). 2. Vasopressin ([Arg8]-VP) and a number of related analogues stimulated the accumulation of [3H]-IP and [3H]-PtdBuOH with similar EC50 values, generating the same rank order of potency for each response (Arg8-VP = vasotocin = Lys8-VP much greater than oxytocin). 3. Inhibition of vasopressin-stimulated [3H]-IP and [3H]-PtdBuOH accumulation by the V1a receptor antagonists, Des-Gly9[beta-mercapto-beta,beta,-cyclopentamethylene propionyl, O-Et-Tyr2,Val4,Arg8]-vasopressin generated similar IC50 values suggesting that both these responses are mediated through the activation of a single V1a receptor subtype. 4. The onset of vasopressin-stimulated inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) mass formation preceded [3H]-PtdBuOH accumulation indicating that PtdCh hydrolysis was activated subsequent to PtdIns(4,5)P2 breakdown. 5. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator, tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA) also stimulated [3H]-PtdBuOH accumulation. Preincubation with the PKC inhibitor Ro-31-8220 abolished both TPA- and vasopressin-stimulated [3H]-PtdBuOH, suggesting that the intermediate activation of protein kinase C is involved in the regulation of PLD by vasopressin. 6. Pretreatment of the A10 VSMC with Ro-31-8220 (100 microM) also potentiated vasopressin-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 mass formation.Therefore stimulation of PKC may have opposing roles in the regulation of agonist activation of PLC and PLD.7. Preincubation of the cells with EGTA, verapamil, or the receptor-operated calcium channel antagonist, SK&F 96365, reduced vasopressin-stimulated [3H]-PtdBuOH accumulation by approximately 30%, suggesting that influx of calcium has a significant role to play in the regulation of vasopressinstimulated PLD activity.

Abstract
The kinetics of vasopressin-stimulated PtdIns(4,5)P2 and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) hydrolysis in relation to sustained diacylglycerol (DAG) formation was investigated in A10 vascular-smooth-muscle cells in culture. Vasopressin stimulated a transient increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 mass formation, which was mirrored by a decrease in PtdIns(4,5)P2 mass levels. Vasopressin stimulated sustained accumulation of total [3H]inositol phosphates ([3H]IP) in the presence of Li+; however, this was significantly decreased by adding a vasopressin-receptor antagonist at different times after initial stimulation. Vasopressin-stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) activity was found to be a transient phenomenon lasting approx. 2 min. Experiments involving agonist preincubation with subsequent addition of butanol confirmed that vasopressin-stimulated PLD activity was desensitized. Vasopressin stimulated an increase in formation of choline, but not of phosphocholine, suggesting that PLD was the major catalytic route of PtdCho hydrolysis in this cell line. The roles of choline and inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in the prolonged phase of DAG formation was examined by comparing vasopressin-stimulated changes in DAG levels in the presence of butanol, the protein kinase C inhibitor Ro-31-8220 or a V1a-receptor antagonist. Vasopressin-stimulated DAG formation was decreased by 40-50% in the presence of butanol between 1 and 10 min; however, during more prolonged stimulation butanol was without significant effect. In cells pretreated with Ro-31-8220, vasopressin-stimulated DAG formation was decreased by approx. 30% at 2 min, but was significantly potentiated at later times. This coincided with an enhancement of vasopressin-stimulated [3H]IP accumulation. In cells exposed to the V1a-receptor antagonist 5 min after addition of vasopressin, subsequent DAG formation was significantly decreased, indicating that sustained formation of DAG, like [3H]IP accumulation, was dependent on continual agonist receptor activation. The results are discussed in terms of different phospholipid-hydrolytic pathways providing DAG generation.

Abstract
In cultured rat aorta-derived A-10 cells, epidermal growth factor-urogastrone (EGF-URO) acts synergistically with arginine vasopressin (AVP) to augment the AVP-mediated release of 3H-arachidonate (3H-AA) from 3H-AA prelabeled cells. On its own, EGF-URO had no effect on AA release and had no effect on calcium influx or efflux either in the absence or presence of AVP. The synergistic action of EGF-URO was not affected by actinomycin D, cycloheximide, indomethacin, by the diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor U-57,908, or by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein (GS) and tyrphostin (TP). TP did, nonetheless, completely abrogate 3H-thymidine incorporation triggered in the presence of EGF-URO. Although EGF-URO stimulated an increase in calpactin-II (lipocortin-I) phosphorylation in permeabilized cells, no such increase was detected in intact cells exposed to EGF-URO either alone or in combination with AVP, under conditions where EGF-URO augmented the action of AVP. The phospholipase A2 inhibitor, mepacrine, had no effect on AVP-mediated AA release, but abolished the synergistic action of EGF-URO. We conclude that in contrast with our previous results with gastric smooth muscle strips, wherein EGF-URO acts via the diacylglycerol lipase-mediated metabolism of diacylglycerol, and in keeping with observations with cultured mesangial cells, EGF-URO acts synergistically with AVP in A-10 cells via the activation of phospholipase A2. This synergistic action of EGF-URO does not appear to be due to increased levels of cyclooxygenase and would appear not to require increased tyrosine kinase activity.

Abstract
This study investigated the cellular mechanisms underlying the endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced contraction of rat aorta with focus on the involvement of phospholipase D (PLD). Preincubating rat aorta in Ca(2+)-free solution reduced the contraction by 80%, whereas diltiazem (10 microM), a voltage-operated Ca2+ channel blocker, caused only a small reduction (27%, P less than 0.05) of the contraction. In myo-[3H]inositol-labeled aorta, ET-1 stimulated the formation of [3H]inositol bisphosphate and [3H]inositol trisphosphate, indicating the activation of phospholipase C (PLC). In aorta labeled with 32PO4, [3H] myristic acid or [32P]lyso-platelet-activating factor followed by exposure to ethanol (0.5%), ET-1 stimulated phosphatidylethanol (PEt) production, suggesting that ET-1 activates PLD. The PEt response was not attenuated by staurosporine (ST, 0.1 microM), an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC) but was inhibited by removal of Ca2+. The ET-1-induced PEt response was at least additive to that induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (1 microM). ET-1 also stimulated the release of 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) into the tissue medium. Unlike the PEt responses, the 6-keto-PGF1 alpha response could be inhibited by ST. Removal of Ca2+ abolished the response. These results suggest that 1) ET-1 activates multiple cellular mechanisms including PLC, PLD, and the arachidonate cascade; 2) PKC activation may not be essential for the ET-1 activation of PLD but may play an important role in the ET-1 stimulation of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release; and 3) Ca2+ is an important factor in the ET-1-induced PLD activity and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release.

Abstract
This review covers the recent developments gained in the exploration of V1-vascular vasopressin (AVP) receptors. We examine the different radioligands available for the pharmacological characterization of these receptors. The immediate transmembrane signaling of V1-vascular AVP receptors involves ligand-receptor complex formation, receptor lateral mobility and internalization, coupling to a Gq protein, activation of phospholipases A2, C and D, translocation and activation of protein kinase C, production of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol, mobilization of intracellular calcium, alteration of intracellular pH with activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger, calmodulin activation and myosin light chain phosphorylation. The secondary nuclear signal mechanisms triggered by activation of V1-vascular AVP receptors includes tyrosine phosphorylation, induction of gene expression and protein synthesis.

Abstract
We have previously reported that endothelin-1 stimulates phospholipase C-induced hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. Other signal transduction pathways that hydrolyze alternative phospholipids through phospholipase D may also mediate endothelin-stimulated cellular responses. We initially evaluated endothelin-dependent generation of 32P-phosphatidic acid as an indirect indication of phospholipase D activity in rat mesangial cells. Endothelin (10(-7) M) induced an elevation of phosphatidic acid that was maximal at 15 min and persisted upward of 60 min. Pretreatment with the diacylglycerol-kinase inhibitor, R59022, did not reduce formation of endothelin-stimulated 32P-phosphatidic acid, demonstrating that the sequential actions of phospholipase C/diacylglycerol kinase do not contribute to endothelin-stimulated phosphatidic acid formation. We next conclusively identified a role for phospholipase D in the generation of phosphatidic acid by assessing the formation of 3H-phosphatidylethanol from 3H-alkyl lyso glycerophosphocholine and exogenous ethanol. Endothelin stimulated 3H-alkyl phosphatidylethanol formation in the presence but not the absence of 0.5% ethanol. Also, endothelin induced a concomitant elevation of 3H-alkyl-phosphatidic acid that was significantly reduced when the cells were exposed to exogenous ethanol, reflecting the formation of phosphatidylethanol. In addition, endothelin stimulated the release of 3H-choline and 3H-ethanolamine, demonstrating that additional phospholipids may serve as substrates for phospholipase D. Phorbol esters and synthetic diglycerides mimicked the effects of endothelin to stimulate phospholipase D and inhibitors of protein kinase C significantly reduced endothelin-stimulated phospholipase D. In addition, endothelin did not stimulate phosphatidylethanol formation in protein kinase C down-regulated cells. The calcium ionophore, ionomycin, did not stimulate phospholipase D and mesangial cells pretreated with BAPTA to chelate cytosolic calcium did not show a diminished endothelin-stimulated phospholipase D. Thus these data demonstrate that mesangial cells possess a protein kinase C-regulated phospholipase D activity that can be stimulated with endothelin.

Abstract
Activating the protein-tyrosine kinase of v-Src in BALB/c 3T3 cells results in rapid increases in the intracellular second messenger, diacylglycerol (DAG). v-Src-induced increases in radiolabeled DAG were most readily detected when phospholipids were prelabeled with myristic acid, which is incorporated predominantly into phosphatidylcholine. Consistent with this observation, v-Src increased the level of intracellular choline. No increase in DAG was observed when cells were prelabeled with arachidonic acid, which is incorporated predominantly into phosphatidylinositol. Inhibiting phosphatidic acid (PA) phosphatase, which hydrolyzes PA to DAG, blocked v-Src-induced DAG production and enhanced PA production, implicating a type D phospholipase. Consistent with the involvement of a type D phospholipase, v-Src increased transphosphatidylation activity, which is characteristic of type D phospholipases. Thus, v-Src-induced increases in DAG most likely result from the activation of a type D phospholipase/PA phosphatase-mediated signaling pathway.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (BB dimer; PDGF-BB) stimulates a mitogenic response in A-10 vascular smooth muscle cells. In addition, PDGF-BB stimulates phospholipase D activity against phosphatidylcholine in A-10 cells. This response was observed as a rapid metabolism of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidate and choline; a subsequent metabolism generates sustained levels of diacylglycerol. The accumulation of phosphatidylethanol, a transphosphatidylation product of phospholipase D, was obvious in PDGF-treated cells. PDGF-BB also stimulates a chemotactic response in A-10 cells. The concentrations of PDGF-BB required to stimulate mitogenesis, phospholipase D activity and chemotaxis are similar. This finding shows that PDGF induces a variety of cellular responses and suggests that these responses may share common metabolic pathways. That conception was tested by investigating the activity of the different PDGF dimers. PDGF-AA had little or no activity in A-10 cells for any of the responses measured. PDGF-AB and PDGF-BB were equally potent in stimulating mitogenic responses. However, the AB heterodimer was only half as active as PDGF-BB with respect to activation of phospholipase D and chemotactic responses. These results demonstrate that PDGF stimulates phospholipase D in vascular smooth muscle cells. In addition, the data indicate that different PDGF dimers can transduce varying signals and suggest a link between the mechanisms by which PDGF-BB activates phospholipase D and the chemotactic response.
