Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells stably expressing the human m3 subtype leads to stimulation of both phospholipase C (PLC) and D (PLD). mAChR-stimulated PLD was turned off after 2 min of receptor activation with either the full (carbachol) or partial agonist (pilocarpine) and remained completely suppressed for at least 4 h. Partial recovery was observed 24 h after agonist removal. This rapid arrest of PLD response was not due to a loss of cell surface receptors and was also not caused by negative feedback due to concomitant activation of protein kinase C, tyrosine phosphorylation, increase in cytosolic calcium, or activation of G proteins. Furthermore, PLD stimulation by directly activated protein kinase C and GTP-binding proteins was unaltered in carbachol-pretreated cells. Finally, neither prevention of PLD stimulation during carbachol pretreatment by genistein nor inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide, added before or after carbachol challenge, resulted in recovery of mAChR-stimulated PLD. The short term carbachol pretreatment nearly completely abolished agonist-induced binding of guanosine 5`-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) to membranes or permeabilized adherent cells. Full recovery of this response was achieved after 4 h. Similar to transfected m3 mAChR, PLD stimulation by endogenously expressed purinergic receptors was also fully blunted after 2 min of agonist (ATP) treatment. Preexposure of HEK cells to either receptor agonist partially, but not completely, reduced PLD stimulation by the other agonist. In contrast to desensitization of PLD stimulation, 2 min of carbachol treatment led to a sensitization, by up to 2-fold, of mAChR-stimulated inositol phosphate formation. This supersensitivity was also observed with pilocarpine, which acted as a full agonist on PLC. On the basis of these results, we conclude that the m3 mAChR stimulates PLD and PLC in HEK cells with distinct efficiencies and with very distinct durations of each response. The rapid and long lasting desensitization of the PLD response is apparently not due to a loss of cell surface receptors or PLD activation by GTP-binding proteins, but it may involve, at least initially, an uncoupling of receptors from GTP-binding proteins and most likely a loss of an as yet undefined essential transducing component.
