Human TRPC6 expressed in HEK 293 cells forms non-selective cation channels with limited Ca2+ permeability.
TRPC6 is thought to be a Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel activated following stimulation of G-protein-coupled membrane receptors linked to phospholipase C (PLC). TRPC6 current is also activated by exogenous application of 1-oleoyl-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) or by inhibiting 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) lipase activity using RHC80267. In the present study, both OAG and RHC80267 increased whole-cell TRPC6 current in cells from a human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK 293) stably expressing TRPC6, but neither compound increased cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) when the cells were bathed in high-K(+) buffer to hold the membrane potential near 0 mV. These results suggested that TRPC6 channels have limited Ca(2+) permeability relative to monovalent cation permeability and/or that Ca(2+) influx via TRPC6 is greatly attenuated by depolarization. To evaluate Ca(2+) permeability, TRPC6 currents were examined in extracellular buffer in which Ca(2+) was varied from 0.02 to 20 mm. The results were consistent with a pore-permeation model in which Ca(2+) acts primarily as a blocking ion and contributes only a small percentage ( approximately 4%) to whole-cell currents in the presence of extracellular Na(+). Measurement of single-cell fura-2 fluorescence during perforated-patch recording of TRPC6 currents showed that OAG increased [Ca(2+)](i) 50-100 nm when the membrane potential was clamped at between -50 and -80 mV, but had little or no effect if the membrane potential was left uncontrolled. These results suggest that in cells exhibiting a high input resistance, the primary effect of activating TRPC6 will be membrane depolarization. However, in cells able to maintain a hyperpolarized potential (e.g. cells with a large inwardly rectifying or Ca(2+)-activated K(+) current), activation of TRPC6 will lead to a sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i). Thus, the contribution of TRPC6 current to both the kinetics and magnitude of the Ca(2+) response will be cell specific and dependent upon the complement of other channel types.

Arachidonate activation of protein kinase C may be involved in the stimulation of protein synthesis by insulin in L6 myoblasts.
Insulin stimulated protein synthesis in L6 myoblasts but did not increase the labelling of DAG or the release of phosphocholine from phosphatidylcholine. The DAG lipase inhibitor, RHC 80267, more than doubled the amount of label appearing in DAG but did not stimulate protein synthesis. Even in the presence of the DAG lipase inhibitor insulin failed to have any effect on DAG labelling, and conversely RHC 80267 did not modify the insulin-induced increase in protein synthesis. These results suggest that endogenous DAG production is not involved in the stimulation of protein synthesis by insulin. However, exogenous diacylglycerols (1-oleoyl-2-acetyl glycerol and 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl glycerol) both stimulated protein synthesis in L6 myoblasts. The efficacy of the former (arachidonate-free) DAG suggested that their action was by activation of protein kinase C rather than by arachidonate release and prostaglandin formation. Ibuprofen, an inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase failed to block the effects of insulin whereas a second cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin had only a partial inhibitory effect. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, RO-31-8220, totally blocked the effect of insulin. Since indomethacin is also recognised to inhibit phospholipase A2, the data suggests that insulin acts on protein synthesis in myoblasts by arachidonate activation of PKC.

New patterns of diacylglycerol metabolism in intact cells.
The metabolism of di[1-14C]octanoylglycerol metabolism was examined in four cell lines: NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, BHK cells, Pam 212 keratinocytes and WEHI 3BD+ cells. We found the direct conversion of 1,2-di[1-14C]octanoyl-sn-glycerol ([14C]diC8) into dioctanoylphosphatidylcholine and dioctanoylacylglycerol, but no formation of phosphatidylinositol. The [14C]diC8 also underwent lipolytic breakdown. In contrast, 1-[1-14C]oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol was metabolized exclusively by lipolysis. Our findings support a new scheme for the metabolic termination of diacylglycerol signals.

Release of arachidonic acid by complement C5b-9 complex in glomerular epithelial cells.
In experimental membranous nephropathy, C5b-9 induces noncytolytic glomerular epithelial cell (GEC) injury and proteinuria, which in some models is partially mediated by metabolites of arachidonic acid. In cultured GEC, sublytic C5b-9 increases cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), activates phospholipase C (PLC), and releases arachidonic acid and eicosanoids. This study examined mechanisms of arachidonic acid production by C5b-9. In GEC labeled with [3H]arachidonate C5b-9 increased free [3H]arachidonic acid and 1,2-[3H]-arachidonoyl-diacylglycerol (DAG), an endogenous activator of protein kinase C (PKC). Elevated [Ca2+]i was not sufficient to account for increased free arachidonic acid. Moreover, in GEC that had been depleted of PKC by preincubation for 18 h with 2 microM phorbol myristate acetate, the C5b-9-induced arachidonate release was inhibited by greater than 75%. Reacylation of phospholipids was not decreased by C5b-9. Homogenates of GEC that had been stimulated with C5b-9 released more [14C]arachidonate from exogenously added 2-[14C]arachidonoyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine or 2-[14C]arachidonoyl-phosphatidylcholine than homogenates of unstimulated cells (assayed at a Ca2+ concentration of 2 mM). These experiments demonstrate directly that C5b-9 increased phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity. PLA2 appeared to be stimulated as a result of PKC activation (probably secondary to increased DAG) in association with elevated [Ca2+]i. The C5b-9-induced activation of PLA2 may lead to release of eicosanoids, which may contribute toward impaired glomerular capillary wall permselectivity in experimental membranous nephropathy.

Comparison of the effects of indomethacin, RHC80267 and R59022 on superoxide production by 1,oleoyl-2,acetyl glycerol and A23187 in human neutrophils.
1 Indomethacin (10(-4)M) causes marked augmentation of O-2 release from human neutrophils when these are stimulated by either 1,oleoyl-2,acetylglycerol or the divalent cation ionophore, A23187, the concentration-response curve for each agent being shifted to the left and the maximum response to each increased. 2 The diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor, R59022 (10(-5)M) has effects very similar to those of indomethacin on both the 1,oleoyl-2,acetylglycerol-induced and the A23187-induced concentration-response curves for O-2 generation. 3 The diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor, RHC80267 (10(-5 M) on the other hand, has a similar effect to indomethacin on 1,oleoyl-2,acetylglycerol-induced O2- generation but, unlike indomethacin, has no effect on A23187-induced O2- generation. Comparison of the effects of these three agents provides a clue to the locus of the action of indomethacin in increasing superoxide release, suggesting that it may act as a diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor. A component of diacylglycerol lipase inhibition may also be present. It is suggested that these results could have relevance for the use of indomethacin as an anti-inflammatory agent in chronic rheumatoid diseases.
