Summary
In the present studies, we have investigated the effect of angiotensin (Ang) II on guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (G protein) expression and functions in A-10 vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Ang II treatment of VSMC enhanced the levels of inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (Gi) as well as Gi mRNA in a concentration-dependent manner as determined by immunoblot and Northern blot analysis, respectively. However, the GTPγS-mediated inhibition of forskolin (FSK)-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity and the receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase by Ang II and C-ANP4-13 [des(Gln18, Ser19, Gln20, Leu21, Gly22) ANF4-23-NH2] (C-ANP4-23) were attenuated in Ang II-treated cells. On the other hand, Gs protein expression and functions were not altered by Ang II treatment. Losartan treatment of the cells was able to partially restore the Ang II induced enhanced expression of Gi protein as well as the attenuated responsiveness of adenylyl cyclase to Ang II and C-ANP4-23 inhibition. The results suggest the implication of AT1 receptor in Ang II-induced increases of Giα protein expression in vascular smooth muscle cells.
