Activation of muscarinic receptors in rat parotid cells results in breakdown of polyphosphoinositides liberating inositol phosphates, including inositol trisphosphate. Formation of inositol trisphosphate appears independent of agonist-induced Ca2+ mobilization, since neither formation nor degradation of inositol trisphosphate are appreciably altered in low-calcium media, and elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ with a calcium ionophore does not cause an increase in cellular inositol trisphosphate. Further, activation of substance P receptors and alpha 1-adrenoreceptors, but not beta-adrenoreceptors, increases inositol trisphosphate formation. The dose-response curve for methacholine activation of inositol trisphosphate formation more closely approximates the curve for receptor occupancy than for Ca2+-activated K+ release. These results are all consistent with the suggestion that inositol trisphosphate could function as a second messenger linking receptor occupation to cellular Ca2+ mobilization.

The metabolism of phosphatidate in rat parotid acinar cells was investigated, particularly with regard to the actions of agonists known to act by mobilizing Ca2+. When cells were incubated in medium containing 10 microM-[32P]Pi, phosphatidate was rapidly labelled, approaching an apparent steady-state with a half-time of approx. 20 min. Methacholine provoked a more than doubling of phosphatidate radioactivity, which was reversed by the muscarinic antagonist atropine. These results suggest that phosphatidate labels to near steady-state rapidly and that in cells prelabelled for 60 min the increase in radioactivity induced by agonists probably reflects net synthesis rather than an increase in specific radioactivity. Phosphatidate synthesis in response to methacholine was rapid and occurred, within the resolution of a few seconds, with no measurable latency. Adrenaline and substance P also stimulated phosphatidate synthesis but both agonists were less efficacious than methacholine. A Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, did not provoke phosphatidate synthesis. By using a protocol that eliminates the receptor-regulated Ca2+ pool, it was demonstrated that methacholine-induced phosphatidate formation does not come about as a consequence of Ca2+ influx nor of Ca2+ release. These results indicate that the phosphatidate synthesis response has characteristics compatible with its previously suggested role as a primary mediator of membrane Ca2+-gating.

The ryanodine receptor mediates intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in muscle and nerve, but its physiological role in nonexcitable cells is less well defined. Like adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, cyclic ADP-ribose (0.3–5 μM) and ADP (1–25 μM) produced a concentration-dependent rise in cytosolic Ca2+ in permeabilized rat parotid acinar cells. Adenosine and AMP were less effective. Ryanodine markedly depressed the Ca2+-mobilizing action of the adenine nucleotides and forskolin in permeabilized cells and was likewise effective in depressing the action of forskolin in intact cells. Cyclic ADP-ribose-evoked Ca2+ release was enhanced by calmodulin and depressed by W-7, a calmodulin inhibitor. A fluorescently labeled ligand, 4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3,4-diaza-s-indacene-3-propionic acid-glycyl ryanodine, was synthesized to detect the expression and distribution of ryanodine receptors. In addition, ryanodine receptor expression was detected in rat parotid cells with a sequence highly homologous to a rat skeletal muscle type 1 and a novel brain type 1 ryanodine receptor. These findings demonstrate the presence of a ryanodine-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store in rat parotid cells that shares many of the characteristics of stores in muscle and nerve and may mediate Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release or a modified form of this process.

In rat parotid acinar cells prelabelled with [3H]inositol, substance P (100 nM) induced the formation of [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]. Ins(1,4,5)P3 reached a maximum 7 s after substance P stimulation, and thereafter decreased and reached a stable value at 60 s. When the cells were exposed to substance P for 10, 30, 60, or 300 s, washed, and re-exposed to this peptide, the formation of [3H]inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) was attenuated in a time-dependent manner. In the cells pretreated as described above, the number of [3H]substance-P-binding sites (Bmax) was also decreased. Possible role(s) of Ca2+ and protein kinase (protein kinase C) control mechanisms in regulating substance P responses were investigated. Desensitization of substance P-induced InsP3 was not affected by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin, nor was it dependent on Ca2+ mobilization. On the other hand, in the presence of 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-4 beta-phorbol 13-acetate, known activators of protein kinase C, substance P-induced InsP3 formation was inhibited. However, PDBu had no effect on [3H]substance P binding, whether present during the assay or when cells were pretreated. The persistent desensitization of InsP3 formation induced by substance P was not affected by PDBu. These results suggest that the persistent desensitization of InsP3 formation induced by substance P is a homologous process involving down-regulation of the substance P receptor; the mechanism does not appear to involve, or to be affected by, the Ca2+ or protein kinase C signalling systems. Protein kinase C activation can, however, inhibit substance P-induced InsP3 formation, which may indicate the presence of a negative-feedback control on the substance P pathway.
