  • To elucidate the effect of antipsychotics and antidepressants on phosphoinositide(Pl) second massenger system, we studied the dose-dependent inhibition of the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C(PLC) isozymes, ${\beta}_1,\;{\gamma}_1$ and${\delta}_1,$ by fluphenazine and haloperidol as antipsychotics, and amitriptyline, maprotiline and mianserin as antidepressants. All the antipsychotics and antidepressants tested showed inhibition on at least one of the PLC isozymes with $IC_{50}$ at the concentration between 25 and $250 {\mu}M.$ Maprotiline, mianserin and amitriptyline inhibited 80 to 90% of the activities of all three PLC isozymes at the concentration of $250{\mu}M,$ while haloperidol and fluphenazine inhibited PLC ${\beta}_1$ and${\gamma}_1$ But baclofen didn't inhibit any PLC isozyme. These results suggested that PLC isozymes are inhibited by antipsychotics and antidepessants even though the concentration is high, and these drugs may affect PI signal transduction system by direct inhibition of PLC isozymes.

  • The phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated intracellular signal transduction pathway is considered to be involved in the regulation of blood pressure. However, little information is available concerning the distributional and functional significance of PLC in the genetic hypertensive rats. As the first step of knowing the role of PLC on hypertension, we investigated the distribution of 6 PLC isozymes $(PLC-{\beta}1,\;-{\beta}3,\;-{\beta}4,\;-{\gamma}1,\;-{\gamma}2\;and\;-{\delta}1)$ in the heart and brain, which are concerned with hypertension, in the normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) using the western blotting and immunocytochemistry. The immunoreactivities of PLC isozymes in brain were detected, but there were no distributional and quantitative differences between the WKY and SHR. In the heart, but the immunoreactivities to $PLC-{\beta}1$ and $-{\gamma}2$ in the SHR were higher than those in WKY. In immunocytochemistry to confirm these western blotting data, $PLC-{\beta}1$ and $-{\gamma}2$ were localized in cardiac myocytes and the intensities of immunoreactivity in SHR were stronger than that in WKY. These results suggest that $PLC-{\beta}1$ and $-{\gamma}2$ would have possibility to concern with the establishment of spontaneous hypertension.

  • We checked the presence of phospholipase $A_2(PLA)_2$ which could split the ester bond at the position 2 in the glycerol backbone of glycerophospholipids, in the cells of hyperthermophiles of Pyrococcus horikoshii and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The results obtained are as follows; (1). Pyrococcus horikoshii cells were grown in obligate anaerobic conditions at $95^{\circ}C$ and they needed sulfur as energy source instead of oxygen, while Sulfolobus acidocaldarius species grew well in the aerobic medium (pH 2.5) containing yeast and sucrose at $75^{\circ}C$. (2). Pyrococcus horikoshii cells produced phospholipase $A_2$ in the cell culture media although this species did not show lipase activity at least in the pH range of 1.5 ${\sim}$ 3.5. Sulfolobus acidocaldarius cells produced lipase hydrolyzing triacylglycerols such as triolein, but did not split any kind of phospholipids used as substates. (3). The compound of 1-decanoyl-2-(p-nitrophenylglutaryl) phosphatidylcholine was not suitable for a substrate in this experiment, though frequently used as a subtrate for checking presence of phospholipase $A_2$, for its decomposi-tion in this experiment. The L-${\alpha}$-phosphatidylcholine-${\beta}$-[N-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diazol]aminohexanoyl-${\gamma}$-hexadecanoyl labelled with a fluorescent material, did not show any migration of acyl chains in the molecule during the reaction with phospholipase $A_2$ under a hot condition. (4). Phospholipase $A_2$ in the cells of Pyrococcus horikoshii, showed the optimum activity at $pH6.7{\sim}7.2$ and $95{\sim}105^{\circ}C$, respectively, and was activated by addition of calcium chloride solution. Andthe phospholipase $A_2$ specifically hydrolyzed glycero-phospholipids such as phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl inositol, but could not split phospholipid containing ether bonds in the molecule such as DL -${\alpha}$-phosphatidylcholine-${\beta}$-palmitoyl-${\gamma}$-O-hexadecyl, DL-${\alpha}$-phosphati- dylcholine-${\beta}$- oleoyl-${\gamma}$-O-hexadecyl, DL-phosphatidylcholine-dihexadecyl.

  • Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C-${\gamma}1$ (PLC-${\gamma}1$) is a pivotal mediator in the signal transduction cascades induced by many growth factors. Using a yeast two-hybrid system, heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) was identified as a PLC-${\gamma}1$-binding protein. A co-immunoprecipitation experiment, using anti-PLC-${\gamma}1$ antibody, demonstrated an in vivo interaction between Hsp90 and PLC-${\gamma}1$ in the NIH-3T3 cells. The interaction in NIH-3T3 was unaffected by the PDGF treatment, inducing phosphorylation and activation of PLC-${\gamma}1$. Direct interaction between Hsp90 and PLC-${\gamma}1$ was confirmed by in vitro binding experiments using purified Hsp90 and PLC-${\gamma}1$. Furthermore, Hsp90 increased the $PIP_2$-hydrolyzing activity of PLC-${\gamma}1$ up to 2-fold at $0.1{\mu}M$ in vitro. Taken together, we show for the first time, the interaction of PLC-${\gamma}1$ with Hsp90, both in vivo and in vitro. We suggest that Hsp90 may play a role in PLC-${\gamma}1$-mediated signal transduction.

  • Phospholipase C-${\gamma}l$ (PLC-${\gamma}l$) expression is associated with cellular transformation. Notably, PLC-${\gamma}$ is up-regulated in colorectal cancer tissue and breast carcinoma. Because exotoxins released by Clostridium botulinum have been shown to induce apoptosis and promote growth arrest in various cancer cell lines, we examined here the potential of Clostridium difficile toxin A to selectively induce apoptosis in cells transformed by PLC-${\gamma}l$ overexpression. We found that PLC-${\gamma}l$-transformed cells, but not vector-transformed (control) cells, were highly sensitive to C. difficile toxin A-induced apoptosis and mitotic inhibition. Moreover, expression of the proapoptotic Bcl2 family member, Bim, and activation of caspase-3 were significantly up-regulated by toxin A in PLC-${\gamma}l$-transformed cells. Toxin A-induced cell rounding and paxillin dephosphorylation were also significantly higher in PLC-${\gamma}l$-transformed cells than in control cells. These findings suggest that C. difficile toxin A may have potential as an anticancer agent against colorectal cancers and breast carcinomas in which PLC-${\gamma}l$ is highly up-regulated.

  • Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase $C-{\gamma}\;1\; (PLC-{\gamma}\;1)$ has pivotal roles in cellular signaling by producing second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate $(IP_3)$ and diacylglycerol (DG). Tubulin is a main component of microtubules and mitotic spindle fibers, which are composed of ${\alpha}-$ and ${\beta}-tubulin$ heterodimers in all eukaryotic cells. In humans, six ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotypes have been identified which display a distinct pattern of tissue expression. Previously we found that $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ and one of four ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotypes including ${\beta}1$, ${\beta}2$, ${\beta}3$ and ${\beta}6$, colocalized in COS-7 cells and cotranslocated to the plasma membrane to activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ upon agonist stimulation. In the present study, we demonstrate that the remaining two, tubulin ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$, also showed a potential to activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$. The phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate $(PIP_2)$ hydrolyzing activity of $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ was substantially increased in the presence of purified ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$ tubulin in vitro, whereas the activity was not promoted by bovine serum albumin, suggesting that tubulin ${\beta}4$ and ${\beta}5$ also activate $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$. Taken together, our results suggest that all the ${\beta}-tubulin$ isotype activates $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$ activity to regulate cellular signaling.

  • In order to investigate whether phospholipase C (PLC) activity in oat celIs is regulated by Gprotein, we have characterized PLC in plasma membranes of oat tissues. To identify the purified plasma membrane, $K^+$-stimulated, $Mg^{2+}$-dependent ATPase activity was measured. The activity of ATPase was shown to be proportional to the concentration of membrane protein. To examine the PLC activity regulated by G-protein, we used the inside-out and outside-out plasma membrane mixture isolated from the oat cells. The plasma membrane mixture showed higher PLC activity than the one of the outside-out plasma membrane. This suggests that PLC activity is located at the cytoplasmic surface of plasma membrane. PLC activity in plasma membrane mixture was dependent on $Ca^{2+}$ with maximum activity at 100 ${\mu}m$ $Ca^{2+}$ and it was inhibited by 1 mM EGTA. Using Sep-pak $Accell^{TM}$ Plus QMA chromatography, we found that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate ($IP_3$) was produced in the presence of 10 ${\mu}m$ $Ca^{2+}$. The PLC activity in the membrane was enhanced by an activator of G-protein ($GTP{\gamma}S$) and not by an inhibitor ($GDP{\beta}S$). This indicates that a G-protein is involved in the activation of PLC in the plasma membrane of oat cells.

  • Imperatorin has been known to exert many biological functions including anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of imperatorin on the production of inflammatory mediators in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC). Imperatorin inhibited degranulation and the generation of eicosanoids (leukotriene $C_4$ ($LTC_4$) and prostaglandin $D_2$ ($PGD_2$) in IgE/antigen (Ag)-stimulated BMMC. To elucidate the molecular mechanism involved in this process, we investigated the effect of imperatorin on intracellular signaling in BMMC. Biochemical analyses of the IgE/Ag-mediated signaling pathway demonstrated that imperatorin dramatically attenuated degranulation and the production of 5-lipoxygenase-dependent $LTC_4$ and cyclooxygenase-2-dependent $PGD_2$ through the inhibition of intracellular calcium influx/phospholipase $C{\gamma}1$, cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$/mitogen-activated protein kinases and/or nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ pathways in BMMC. These results suggest that the effects of imperatorin on inhibition of degranulation and eicosanoid generation through the suppression of multiple steps of IgE/Ag-mediated signaling pathways would be beneficial for the prevention of allergic inflammation.
