Vasopressin stimulated phospholipase C activity in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes maintained for 18-24 h under serum free conditions. Soluble and membrane-associated phospholipase C activity was determined using exogenous [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate ([3H]PIP2) in the presence of cholate, deoxycholate and NaCl. Exposure of hepatocytes for 5 s to vasopressin (100 nM) stimulated both membrane-associated and soluble phospholipase C activity by 30% and 40%, respectively. However, by 15 s this stimulation had disappeared. Addition of vasopressin to hepatocytes, previously labelled with [3H]inositol, stimulated inositol phosphate production within 5 s, but little further increase was seen over a 5-min incubation. These results indicate that vasopressin rapidly stimulates both soluble and membrane-associated phospholipase C activity.
