Inhibition of basal and hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase in adipocyte ghosts by the prostaglandin endoperoxide prostaglandin H2

R. R. Gorman, M. Hamberg and B. Samuelsson

The prostaglandin endoperoxide PGH2 (15-hydroxy-9alpha, 11alpha-peroxidoprosta-5,13-dienoic acid), at a concentration of 2.8 x 10(-5) M inhibited basal adenylate cyclase activity 11% and epinephrine-stimulated activity 30 to 35%. PGH2 inhibited epinephrine-stimulated enzyme activity in the presence of 10 mM theophylline, 2.5 mM adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP), or in the absence of inhibitors or substrates of the cAMP phosphodiesterase. When the cAMP phosphodiesterase was assayed directly using 62 nM and 1.1 muM cAMP, PGH2 did not affect the 100,000 x g particulate cAMP phosphodiesterase from fat cells. The inhibition of adenylate cyclase by PGH2 was readily reversible. A 6-min preincubation of ghost membranes with PGH2, followed by washing, did not alter subsequent epinephrine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. During epinephrine stimulation, the PGH2 inhibition was apparent on initial rates of cAMP synthesis, and the addition of PGH2 to the enzyme system at any point during an assay markedly reduced the rate of cAMP synthesis. Between 2.8 x 10(-7) M and 2.8 x 10(-5) M, PGH2 inhibited epinephrine-stimulated enzyme activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The stimulation of adenylate cyclase by thyroid-stimulating hormone, glucagon, and adrenocorticotropic hormone as well as by epinephrine was antagonized by PGH2, suggesting that PGH2 may be an endogenous feedback regulator of hormone-stimulated lipolysis in adipose tissue.
