This report describes the rapid effects of GnRH and an agonist [D-Ala6, des-Gly10] GnRH ethylamide (GnRHa) on polyphosphoinositide metabolism in rat granulosa cells. As indicated by the depletion of cellular levels of 32P-prelabeled triphosphoinositide (TPI) and diphosphoinositide (DPI), GnRHa rapidly stimulated the hydrolysis of TPI and DPI. The effect of GnRHa was maximal at the earliest time point examined (30 sec) and preceded GnRHa-induced increases in labeling of phosphatidylinositol. A specific GnRH antagonist had no effect on TPI or DPI levels, but prevented the polyphosphoinositide depletion induced by GnRH. LH did not stimulate depletion of 32P-polyphosphoinositides. The rapid and specific effects of GnRH on polyphosphoinositide depletion may represent an early and possibly initiating event in the action of GnRH.
