Pathway of phospholipase C activation initiated with platelet-derived growth factor is different from that initiated with vasopressin and bombesin

The mode of phospholipase C activation initiated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has been studied in comparison with that initiated with vasopressin and bombesin in a rat fibroblast line, WFB. Stimulation of WFB cells by PDGF, vasopressin, and bombesin elicites rapid hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides and an increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). On stimulation by PDGF, there was a lag period of about 10 s before an increase in [Ca2+]i. No measurable lag period was observed in the [Ca2+]i response induced by vasopressin or bombesin. Pretreatment of WFB cells with phorbol 12- myristate 13-acetate profoundly inhibited inositol phosphate formation evoked by vasopressin and bombesin, but enhanced to some extent inositol phosphate formation stimulated by PDGF. In membranes prepared from WFB cells, GTP markedly augmented inositol polyphosphate formation induced by vasopressin and bombesin. It was not successful in showing the PDGF-stimulated formation of inositol phosphates in the membrane preparation. The effects of GTP, guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S), and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) on polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis stimulated by growth factors were studied in WFB cells made permeable to nucleotides by treatment with either saponin or Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytotoxin. PDGF, vasopressin, and bombesin elicited inositol phosphate production in the permeabilized WFB cells in the absence of added GTP. GDP beta S, a competitive inhibitor of GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins), markedly reduced the bombesin- and vasopressin-stimulated production of inositol phosphates. However, the PDGF-stimulated production of inositol phosphates was not affected by the addition of GDP beta S. GTP gamma S, an agonist of G-proteins, largely enhanced the vasopressin- and bombesin-stimulated hydrolysis of inositol lipids when added at 10-100 microM. In the presence of GTP gamma S, the PDGF-stimulated hydrolysis of inositol lipids was not enhanced, but was reduced: 100 microM GTP gamma S reduced the stimulated hydrolysis to about a half of the control level. Only GTP gamma S, and no other nucleoside triphosphates, was found to have these effects. Activation of G-proteins in WFB cells by fluoroaluminate resulted in the inhibition of inositol phosphate production elicited with not only PDGF, but also with vasopressin and bombesin. These results indicate that a G-protein couples vasopressin and bombesin receptors to the activation of phospholipase C. Moreover, these results suggest that coupling of the PDGF receptor to phospholipase C is not mediated through a G-protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
