The protein toxin present in Bordetella pertussis vaccine blocks the inhibition of adenylate cyclase by prostaglandins and adenosine which may be secondary to ADP-ribosylation of an inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding protein. The stimulatory effects of alpha 1-catecholamine agonists on 32P uptake into phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol in isolated rat adipocytes were virtually abolished by pertussis toxin treatment. In contrast, the stimulatory effects of insulin were increased in adipocytes after pertussis toxin treatment. Pertussis toxin treatment did not alter insulin stimulation of glucose oxidation and actually increased glucose conversion to lipid. Basal lipolysis was elevated in adipocytes by pertussis toxin treatment but not basal cyclic AMP. However, the increases in cyclic AMP and lipolysis due to low concentrations of catecholamines and forskolin were markedly potentiated by pertussis toxin treatment. The inhibitory effects of adenosine on cyclic AMP stimulation due to catecholamines were abolished by pertussis toxin. These data indicate that pertussis toxin selectively interferes with inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation in rat adipocytes by adenosine, potentiates the increases in cyclic AMP due to catecholamines, increases the stimulatory effects of insulin on adipocyte metabolism, and interferes with alpha 1-catecholamine stimulation of phosphatidylinositol turnover.
