This study describes phosphoinositide metabolism in resting and noradrenaline-stimulated resistance arterioles and identifies a novel inositol-containing compound.
Extends phosphoinositide signaling data to resistance arterioles; leaves open the novel lipid's relevance to human vascular function or therapy.
Five inositol phosphates were extracted from adult rat resistance arterioles and separated by ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography. 2. By use of this technique, inositol phosphates liberated were identified as inositol 1-phosphate, inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. Stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis with noradrenaline produced increases in inositol phosphate production. 3. Three inositol-containing phospholipids extracted from resistance arterioles were measured as their glycerol esters following deacylation, thereby permitting an analysis of both membrane and cytosolic components of the phosphoinositide signalling system. 4. A substantial agonist-sensitive pool of a previously undescribed inositol but not glycerol-containing lipid extract component was also identified in this tissue. 5. These experiments for the first time allow a precise description of phosphoinositide metabolism in resting and agonist-stimulated resistance arterioles and provide data on a novel compound possibly similar to that recently described in other tissues.
