The addition of 5-hydroxytryptamine to the isolated blowfly salivary gland stimulates fluid secretion, transepithelial calcium transport and the breakdown of 32P- or 3H-labelled phosphatidylinositol The breakdown of [32P]phosphatidylcholine and [32P]-phosphatidylethanolamine was not stimulated by 5-hydroxytryptamine. In salivary glands incubated with myo-[2-3H]inositol for 1--3 h, more than 95% of the label retained by the tissue was in the form of phosphatidylinositol. The addition of 5-hydroxytryptamine resulted in an increase in the accumulation of label in intracellular inositol 1:2-cyclic phosphate, inositol 1-phosphate and free inositol along with an increase in the release of [3H]inositol to the medium and saliva. The release of [3H]inositol to the medium served as a sensitive indicator of phosphatidylinositol breakdown. The release of [3H]inositol was not increased by cyclic AMP or the bivalent-cation ionophore A23187 under conditions in which salivary secretion was accelerated. The stimulation of fluid secretion by low concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine was potentiated by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, which had no effect on inositol release. The stimulation of fluid secretion by 5-hydroxytryptamine was greatly reduced in calcium-free buffer, but the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol continued at the same rate in the absence of calcium. These results support the hypothesis that breakdown of phosphatidylinositol by 5-hydroxytryptamine is involved in the gating of calcium.
