一氧化氮在血管紧张素Ⅱ激活蛋白激酶C中的作用

实验在培养新生大鼠心肌细胞中检测NO前体L－精氨酸（L－Arg）和NO供体硝普钠（SNP）对血管紧张素Ⅱ（AngⅡ）激活蛋白激酶C（PKC）的作用,以探讨心肌细胞PKC水平的信号转导途径,实验结果如下：（1）无血清DMEM培养心肌细胞24h后加入AngⅡ,PKC活性呈剂量依赖性增高;（2）培养基中加入L－Arg,PKC活性呈剂量依赖性降低;（3）用L－Arg100μmol/L进行预处理,30min后分别加入AngⅡ0.1μmol/L或PMA10μmol/L,PKC活性均明显降低,与单纯AngⅡ组和单纯PMA组相比均有显著性差异;用NOS抑制剂L－NAME预处理后,再加入L－Arg,可明显阻断L－Arg对上述两个效应的影响;（4）培养液中加入NO供体SNP,PKC活性呈剂量依赖性地降低;（5）用SNP10μmol／L预处理心肌细胞,5min后分别加入AngⅡ或PMA,PKC活性分别与单纯AngⅡ和单纯PMA组相比均明显降低。以上结果表明,AngⅡ能剂量依赖性激活PKC,而NO可剂量依赖性抑制PKC活性;NOS参与L－Arg抑制AngⅡ或PMA激活PKC的作用。这些观察提示,NO抑制AngⅡ对心肌细胞的作用可能是通过抑制PKC活性实现的,PKC可能是NO和AngⅡ在心肌细胞内信号转导的交汇点（cross talk）。

Influence of nitric oxide on the angiotensin II-activated protein kinase C activity in cultured neonatal rat cardiomycytes

We examined the effect of endogenous and exogenous nitric oxide (NO) on protein kinase C (PKC) activity induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. The results are as follows. The activity of PKC was increased by Ang II (0.01-10 micromol/L) in a dose-dependent manner, but decreased by NO precursor L-arginine (L-Arg) (10 micromol/L-10 mmol/L) in a dose-dependent manner in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Pretreatment with L-Arg (100 micromol/L) decreased significantly Ang II -activated PKC activity and PKC activity induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) ( 10 micromol/L), a PKC activator. Pretreatment with N(G)-nitro-L-argingie methyl ester (L-NAME), a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) blocker, may inhibit significantly the role of L-Arg on Ang II - and PMA-activated PKC activity. The activity of PKC was also decreased by NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) (10 micromol/L-1 mmol/L) in a dose-dependent manner in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Pretreatment with SNP (10 micromol/L) decreased significantly Ang II - and PMA-activated PKC activity. These results indicate that PKC was controlled by both NO and Ang II. PKC may be a cross talk between Ang II and NO in cardiomyocytes. NO abolished the activity of PKC and impaired PKC downstream signaling transduction pathway cascades.
