Direct stimulation by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis in GH3 cell membranes by a guanine nucleotide-modulated mechanism

Direct stimulation by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis in GH3 cell membranes by a guanine nucleotide-modulated mechanism

Abstract

Polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis was examined in membranes from thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-responsive GH3 pituitary cells. [3H]Inositol phosphates (IP2 and IP3) were generated upon incubation of membranes from [3H]inositol-labeled cells indicating the presence of a membrane-associated polyphosphoinositide phosphodiesterase (PPI PDE). Membrane PPI PDE activity was found to be stimulated by TRH and by GTP-gamma-S in Ca2+-modulated manner. In addition, TRH-stimulated PPI hydrolysis was potentiated by GTP. These results demonstrate direct in vitro effects of a hormone on PPI turnover and suggest the involvement of a GTP-binding component in transmembrane signalling by TRH.
