Abstract
Cultured pituitary cells prelabeled with myo-[2-3H] inositol were permeabilized by ATP4-, exposed to guanine nucleotides and resealed by Mg2+. Addition of guanosine 5'-0-(3-thio triphosphate) (GTP gamma S) to permeabilized cells, or gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) to resealed cells, resulted in enhanced phospholipase C activity as determined by [3H] inositol phosphate (Ins-P) production. The effect was not additive, but the combined effect was partially inhibited by guanosine 5'-0-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) or by neomycin. Surprisingly, addition of GDP beta S (100-600 microM) on its own resulted in a dose-related increase in [3H]Ins-P accumulation. Several nucleoside triphosphates stimulated phospholipase C activity in permeabilized pituitary cells with the following order: UTP greater than GTP gamma S greater than ATP greater than CTP. The stimulatory effect of UTP, ATP and CTP, but not GTP gamma S or GDP beta S, could also be demonstrated in normal pituitary cells suggesting a receptor-activated mechanism. GTP and GTP gamma S decreased the affinity of GnRH binding to pituitary membranes and stimulated LH secretion in permeabilized cells. These results suggest the existence of at least two G-proteins (stimulatory a...Continue Reading
