The results presented here demonstrate that bradykinin, acting through a B2 subtype receptor, induces a unique pattern of early signals in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. Bradykinin caused a rapid mobilization of calcium from internal stores, as judged by measurements of intracellular Ca2+ concentration in fura-2-loaded cells and by 45Ca2+ efflux from radiolabeled cells. Analysis of phosphoproteins from 32P-labeled Swiss 3T3 cells by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that bradykinin stimulated transient phosphorylation of an acidic cellular protein migrating with an apparent Mr = 80,000 (termed 80K), identified as a major and specific substrate of protein kinase C. Down-regulation of protein kinase C by pretreatment with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) completely abolished the increase in 80K phosphorylation. In contrast to the sustained effect induced by bombesin, vasopressin, or PDBu, the stimulation of 80K phosphorylation by bradykinin reached a maximum after 1 min of incubation, and then it rapidly decreased to almost basal levels. Furthermore, bradykinin did not induce protein kinase C-mediated events such as inhibition of 125I-epidermal growth factor binding or enhancement of cAMP accumulation. Bombesin and vasopressin elicited both responses in parallel cultures. Bradykinin induced rapid accumulation of total inositol phosphates in cells labeled with myo-[3H]inositol. In contrast to bombesin and vasopressin which stimulated a linear increase in inositol phosphate accumulation over a 10-min period, the effect of bradykinin reached a plateau after 2.5 min of incubation with no further increase up to 10 min. The results demonstrate that the early signaling events triggered by bradykinin can be distinguished from those elicited by bombesin and vasopressin in Swiss 3T3 cells.
