Abstract

Cyclic AMP Inositol‐phospholipids Muscarinic receptors
: Muscarinic receptor stimulation increased the accumulation of 3H‐inositol phosphates in PC12 cells whose phospholipids had been prelabeled with [3H]inositol. Muscarine also inhibited the increase in cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation caused by 5′‐N‐ethylcarboxamide adenosine or by vasoactive intestinal peptide. This effect of muscarine was apparently due to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase rather than to a stimulation of a cAMP specific phosphodiesterase. The muscarinic receptor antagonist pirenzepine inhibited both the stimulation of inositol‐phospholipid metabolism and the inhibition of cAMP production with Ki values of 0.34 μM and 0.36 μM, respectively. PC 12 cells contained a single class of N‐[3H]methylscopolamine ([3H]NMS) binding sites. Competition studies with muscarine (KD, 15 μM) and pirenzepine (Ki; 0.12 μM) revealed no evidence for multiple muscarinic receptors. The Ki of pirenzepine for the inhibition of [3H]NMS binding and the inhibition of muscarinic actions is consistent with the possibility that this is not an Mi receptor. Muscarine inhibited cAMP accumulation in cells made de ficient in protein kinase C; therefore, this protein kinase is probably not involved in mediating the inhibitory effect of muscarine. The phorbol ester 12‐O‐tetradecanoylphorbol 13‐acetate also inhibited cAMP accumulation in PC12 cells but the mechanism of this effect differed from that of muscarine. Bradykinin caused a large increase in the accumulation of3H‐inositol phosphates and [3H]diacylglycerol relative to muscarine but did not inhibit cAMP production. Oxotrem‐orine inhibited cAMP accumulation but it did not stimulate inositol‐phospholipid metabolism. These data indicate that increased inositol‐phospholipid metabolism and inhibition of cAMP production are two independent effects of muscarinic receptor stimulation in PC12 cells.
