Phorbol esters inhibit agonist-induced (/sup 3/H) inositol-1-phosphate accumulation in rat hippocampal slices

Journal Article · · Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.; (United States)

In rat hippocampal slices, carbachol and norepinephrine induce an accumulaton of (/sup 3/H)-inositol-1-phosphate which is markedly amplified in the presence of lithium. The tumor-promoting agents phorbol 12, dilat 13 dibutyrate (PDB) and 4..beta.. phorbol, 12..beta..-myristate, 13 ..cap alpha..-acetate (PMA) have no effect on (/sup 3/H) inositol-1-phophate accumulation alone, but when preincubated with hippocampal slices significantly inhibit the accumulation of (/sup 3/H)-inositol-1-phosphate induced by carbachol and norepinephrine. The IC/sub 50/ values of PDB and PMA are 0.2 ..mu..M and 25..mu..M respectively. In contrast, the weak tumor promoting agents 4-O-methylphorbol 12 myristate 13 acetate (MPMA) and phorbol 13,20-diacetate (P 13,20 DA) only slightly attenuate the agonist-induced response at concentrations less than or equal to100..mu..M, whereas 4..cap alpha..-phorbol (4..cap alpha..-PHR), a biologically inactive phorbol, has no effect. These data suggest that phorbol ester receptor-mediated events may be negatively coupled to agonist-induced phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. 17 references, 3 figures.
