Abstract：
:The role of calcium in the stimulation of phosphoinositide (PIn) hydrolysis by norepinephrine and the calcium ionophore A23187 was investigated in chopped cerebral cortex in which the PIns had been labeled previously with ([3H]myo-inositol. The accumulation of the newly formed [3H]inositol phosphate ([3H]IPs) was used as an index of PIn hydrolysis. Norepinephrine produced a concentration-related increase in the accumulation of [3H]inositol-phosphates ([3H]IP), and this effect was only partially antagonized by omission of calcium from the incubation medium. Norepinephrine had relatively little effect on the accumulation of [3H]inositol 1,4-bisphosphate [3H]IP2 and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and/or inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate ([3H]IP3). A23187 also increased the accumulation of [3H]IP but this effect was not antagonized by omission of calcium from the incubation medium. When the tissue had been washed extensively with EGTA, the basal levels of [3H]IP, [3H]IP2 and [3H]IP3 were decreased markedly, and the effects of both norepinephrine and A23187 were antagonized. Addition of calcium back to the depleted tissue led to an increase in the basal level of [3H]IPs as well as restoration of the stimulation produced by norepinephrine and A23187. The calcium threshold for the PIn effect was 0.1 microM. Additional calcium did not affect markedly the stimulation of accumulation of [3H]IP produced by norepinephrine and A23187. The results suggest that there is an absolute calcium requirement for PIn phosphodiesterase which is attained at 0.1 microM Ca2+. A23187 can stimulate the accumulation of [3H]IP perhaps by providing access of another form of the enzyme to artificially high concentrations (millimolar range) of calcium.
