-cells HIT-T15
In the presence of arginine vasopressin (AVP), somatostatin (SS) increases [Ca2+]i, leading to a transient increase in insulin release from clonal
-cells HIT-T15 via Gi/o and phospholipase C (PLC) pathway (Cheng et al., 2002a). The present study was to elucidate the mechanisms underlying SS-induced [Ca2+]i increase in the presence of AVP. We found the effect of SS was mediated by 
subunits, but not by
subunit of Gi/o. Since SS alone failed to increase [Ca2+]i, we hypothesized that SS increases PIP2 synthesis, providing extra substrate for preactivated PLC-
to generate IP3. SS alone did not increase IP3 levels, but AVP + SS did. SS increased PIP2 levels, but decreased PIP levels. We further hypothesized that PLD mediates SS-induced changes in PIP2 levels. Both the phospholipase D (PLD) inhibitors and antibody vs. PLD1 antagonized AVP-SS-induced increases in [Ca2+]i. PLD inhibitor also antagonized SS-induced increase in PIP2 levels. In addition, SS increased PLD activity. These results suggested that activation of SS receptors that are coupled to the 
dimer of Gi/o leads to PLD1 activation, thus promoting the synthesis of phosphatidic acid. Since phosphatidic acid activates PIP-5 kinase, this evokes an increase in PIP2 synthesis. The PIP2 generated by SS administration increases substrate for preactivated PLC-
, which hydrolyzes PIP2 to form IP3, leading to an increase in [Ca2+]i. The regulation of PIP2 synthesis by Gi/o-coupled receptors via PLD activation represents a novel signaling mechanism for SS and a novel concept in the crosstalk between Gq- and Gi/o-coupled receptors in
-cells.
