ANP stimulates phospholipase C in cultured RIMCT cells: roles of protein kinases and G protein.

We examined the possibility that, in addition to stimulation of guanylate cyclase (GC), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) also activates phospholipase C (PLC) in cultured rat inner medullary collecting tubule (RIMCT) cells. ANP (10(-12)M) causes marked release of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) at a concentration that does not stimulate GC. Concentrations of ANP that stimulate GC (greater than or equal to 10(-10) M) result in attenuated IP3 release. Similarly, exogenous dibutyryl guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (10(-6) M) markedly inhibits the response to 10(-10) M ANP. Inhibition of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase by H 8, but not inhibition of protein kinase C by H 7, restores the response to 10(-8) and 10(-6) M ANP. Therefore, activation of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase inhibits ANP-stimulated PLC activity. Activation of protein kinase C by phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) decreases ANP-stimulated IP3 production. Pretreatment with H 7, but not H 8, prevents inhibition by PMA. To explore a potential role for G proteins, we examined the effect of guanine nucleotide analogues on ANP-stimulated IP3 production in saponin-permeabilized cells. ANP-stimulated IP3 production is enhanced by GTP gamma S and is inhibited by GDP beta S. Similarly, preincubation with pertussis toxin prevents ANP-stimulated IP3 release. We conclude that ANP stimulates PLC in RIMCT cells via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. Stimulation of PLC is inhibited on activation of either cyclic nucleotide or Ca2+-phospholipid dependent protein kinases.
