Abstract
The effects of increases in cellular adenosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) on 5-hydroxytryptamine-(5-HT-) induced generation of inositol phosphates (IPs) and increases in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+](i)) were investigated using canine cultured tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs). Cholera toxin and forskolin induced concentration- and time-dependent cAMP formation with half-maximal effects (-logEC50) produced at concentrations of 7.0 ± 0.5 and 4.9 ± 0.4 respectively. Pretreatment of TSMCs with either forskolin or dibutyryl cAMP inhibited 5-HT-stimulated responses. Even after treatment for 24 h, these agents still inhibited the 5-HT-induced Ca2+ mobilization. The inhibitory effects of these agents produced both depression of the maximal response and a shift to the right of the concentration response curves of 5-HT. The water-soluble forskolin analogue L-858051 [7-deacetyl-7β-(γ-N-methylpiperazino)-butyryl forskolin] significantly inhibited the 5-HT-stimulated accumulation of IPs. In contrast, the addition of 1,9-dideoxy forskolin, an inactive forskolin analogue, had little effect on this response. Moreover, SQ-22536 [9-(tetrahydro-2-furanyl)-9-H-purin-6-amine], an inhibitor of adenylate cyclase, and both H-89 [N-(2-aminoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide] and HA-1004[N-(2-guanidinoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide] , inhibitors of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), attenuated the ability of forskolin to inhibit the 5-HT-stimulated accumulation of IPs. These results suggest that activation of cAMP/PKA was involved in these inhibitory effects of forskolin. The AlF4--induced accumulation of IPs was inhibited by forskolin, suggesting that G protein(s) are directly activated by AlF4-- and uncoupled from phospholipase C by forskolin treatment. These results suggest that activation of cAMP/PKA might inhibit the 5-HT-stimulated phospohinositide breakdown and consequently reduce the [Ca2+](i) increase or inhibit both responses independently.
