The mechanism underlying lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression of phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis was investigated using rat aortas. In LPS-pretreated aortas, the 5-hydroxytryptamine-stimulated accumulation of inositol monophosphate and incorporation of exogenous myo-inositol into PIs were significantly less than those in control aortas. Both sodium-myo-inositol cotransporter (SMIT) and phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) genes were constituently expressed in rat aortas. The mRNA level of SMIT was remarkably lower in LPS-pretreated aortas, while that of PITP mRNA was not affected by LPS. These results suggest that LPS-induced depression of SMIT expression is involved in inhibition of agonist-stimulated PI hydrolysis by LPS.
利用大鼠主动脉研究了脂多糖(LPS)诱导磷酸肌醇(PI)水解降低的机制。在经LPS预处理的主动脉中,5-羟色胺刺激的肌醇单磷酸积累以及外源性肌醇掺入PI中的量均显著低于对照主动脉。钠-肌醇共转运体(SMIT)和磷脂酰肌醇转移蛋白(PITP)基因在大鼠主动脉中均持续表达。经LPS预处理的主动脉中SMIT的mRNA水平显著降低,而PITP mRNA水平不受LPS影响。这些结果表明,LPS诱导的SMIT表达降低与LPS抑制激动剂刺激的PI水解有关。
