The addition of bradykinin to 32P-labeled neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid NGlOS-15 cells caused a sub-, stantial loss of radioactivity from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI-4,5-P,). The bradykinin-induced hydrolysis of PI-4,5-P, was almost equally observed even when extracellular Ca2+ was depleted with EGTA (1OOpM). On the other hand, high K+ depolarization of the cells, which allows Caz+ influx through voltage-dependent CaZ+ channels, failed to induce any significant decrease in the radioactivity of PI-4,5-P,. These data indicate that the bradykinin-stimulated PI-4,5-P, hydrolysis in NGlO&15 cells is independent of extracellular Ca2+ and also that PI-4,5-P, hydrolysis is not stimulated by an elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration.
