Stimulation of splenic prostaglandin release by angiotensin and specific inhibition by cysteine8-AII
James R. Douglas Eugene M. Johnson Garland R. Marshall Bernard M. Jaffe Philip Needleman 《Prostaglandins & other lipid mediators》1973,3(1):67-74
The angiotensin induced release of prostaglandin E (PGE) like material from the isolated perfused rabbit spleen was studied. The PG releasing potency of angiotensin I (AI) was found to be 2–4 % that of angiotensin II (AII). The PG release by AI was shown not to be due to the conversion of AI to AII, but rather to the direct effect of AI. Both AI and AII induced PG release were found to be inhibited by cysteine8-AII. The PG release by epinephrine was not blocked by the angiotensin antagonist. Indomethacin (an inhibitor of PG biosynthesis) blocked the PG release induced by angiotensin or epinephrine. 相似文献

A protein fraction designated PF70 was isolated from human plasma and partially purified on Sephadex G-100. PF70 proteins, molecular weight 37, 000 to 41, 500, formed angiotensin I (AI) and angiotensin II (AII) from 14C-tetradecapeptide renin substrate (TDP) at 37 C. Hydrolysis was maximal at pH 6.9 but there was no change in the relative quantity of AI and AII formed at different pH values. Data indicate that AI was formed first and at a faster rate than AII, but typical converting enzyme activity was not detected. Radiolabeled AII was converted to Des-Asp1-angiotensin II (angiotensin III); [3H]AI was degraded to a single tritiated product, possibly the nonapeptide. These aspartyl hydrolase reactions were apparently inhibited by TDP and were not involved in AI or AII generation from TDP. It is concluded that these enzymic activities represent two or more enzymes that are associated with the renin-angiotensin system. 相似文献

Angiotensins I, II, and III (AI, AII, AIII) and Saralasin (Sar1-Ala8-AII) were labeled with 125I and separated from the nonlabeled forms on minicolumns (a Pasteur pipet) of chromatofocusing medium. At low ionic strength, 125I-labeled angiotensins could be eluted with Polybuffer or a piperazine-histidine buffer at their approximate isoelectric points, while nonlabeled angiotensins remained adsorbed to the column and required 1 mol · liter?1 NaCl for elution. The 125I-labeled angiotensins prepared by this method were bound by antibodies (AI) and adrenal receptors (AII, Saralasin) to an extent similar to angiotensins prepared by DEAE-Sephadex A-25 chromatography. This new method of preparing radioiodinated angiotensins is rapid (15 min), inexpensive, and requires no fraction-collecting equipment. 相似文献

AIKEN and Vane have reported1 the independent actions of angiotensin I (AI) and angiotensin II (AII) on various isolated smooth muscle preparations, including rat colon. Tney showed that the apparent contractile action of AI on these preparations depended primarily on its in situ conversion to All by “converting enzyme” and that when the activity of the enzyme was inhibited by a pentapeptide extracted from Bothrops jararaca venom, the residual contractile action, probably due to unchanged AI, was very small. I have investigated the action of synthetic tetradecapeptide renin substrates (TPRS) on rat colon, in the light of the known actions of AI and All. 相似文献

The octapeptide angiotensin II mediates the physiological actions of the renin-angiotensin system through activation of several angiotensin II receptor subtypes; in particular the AT1. In many tissues, the presence of multiple angiotensin II receptor subtypes, together with a low number of receptors, makes it difficult to study biological responses to physiological concentrations (10–11–10–9 M) of angiotensin II. Also, cultured cells show diminished angiotensin II receptor binding with respect to time in culture and passage number. To address these problems, we expressed the recombinant AT1A receptor in CHO-K1 cells. The stably transfected receptor was characterized using radioligand binding studies and functional coupling to cytosolic free calcium. Radioligand binding of [125I] angiotensin II to the angiotensin II receptor was specific, saturable, reversible and modulated by guanine nucleotides. Like the endogenous AT1A receptor, reported in a variety of tissues, the specific, noncompetitive, nonpeptide AII receptor antagonist, EXP3174, blocked binding of [125I] angiotensin II to the transfected receptor. Scatchard analysis demonstrated that the transfected receptor had a dissociation constant of 1.9 nM with a density of 3.4 pmol/mg protein.An important feature of many of the responses to angiotensin II is the rapid desensitization that occurs following agonist occupancy and the development of tachyphylaxis. In AT1A receptor transfected CHO-K1 cells, angiotensin II (10–9 M) stimulated a rapid increase in cytosolic free calcium that was completely desensitized within 50 sec following receptor occupancy. Agonist induced desensitization was unaffected when receptor internalization was blocked by pretreatment with concanavalin A or incubation at 4°C, and no changes in AT1A receptor affinity or number were observed. Receptor desensitization was also unaffected by inhibition or activation of protein kinase C. Thus, we have established a permanent, high-level transfectant of the AT1A receptor in CHO-K1 cells and have shown that these receptors rapidly desensitize following exposure to physiological concentrations of agonist. The mechanism of rapid desensitization is not related to receptor sequestration, internalization or controlled by PKC phosphorylation. This provides an excellent model for studying AII actions mediated through a specific receptor subtype, at subnanomolar concentrations. 相似文献

Conversion of AI to AII has been studied in the mesenteric circulation of the isolated perfused cat terminal ileum. Infusion of AI through the mesenteric circulation induced a significantly potentiated response when the venous return was superfused over the rat colon and the rabbit aortic strip. Addition of converting-enzyme inhibitor, SQ 20881 to the perfusion medium competitively prevented the potentiation of AI on the assay organs without altering its direct effects. The percent conversion of AI to AII was found to be 68 in the mesenteric circulation. In contrast, infusion of AII through the mesenteric circulation has lost about 40% of its biological activity as measured on the same assay organs. SQ 20881 abolished the inactivation of AII in the mesenteric circulation. It is concluded that the mesenteric circulation of the isolated perfused cat terminal ileum is one of the major conversion areas of AI to AII. SQ 20881 prevented the conversion of AI to AII as well as abolishing the inhibition of AII passing through the mesenteric circulation. 相似文献

Octopamine and an agonist, chlordimeform, increase the responsiveness of adult and pharate adult Manduca sexta to gentle mechanical stimulation of the wing. Higher doses of chlordimeform elicit almost continuous production of the flight motor pattern in both adults and pharate adults, and the effect persists for more than 24 h. The dose of chlordimeform necessary for this effect increases with age. Mechanical stimulation of the wing of pharate adults elicits several cycles of flight motor pattern, but with repeated stimulation the animal habituates. Habituation is slower in chlordimeform-treated animals than in controls. Injection of octopamine (1–8 × 10?8 mol) or chlordimeform (3 × 10?9 mol) into the mesothoracic ganglion elicits the flight motor pattern. The excitatory actions of both compounds can be blocked by cyproheptidine. Chlordimeform (5 × 10?8 mol) in acetone applied to the wing does not cause a noticeably greater increase in the electrical activity of sensory neurons than does acetone applied alone; this result suggests that chlordimeform does not act on these peripheral sites or on axonal membranes in general. We suggest that chlordimeform and octapamine act on the thoracic ganglia to alter the level of excitation on reffectiveness of synaptic transmission among central neurons, including those involved in producing the flight motor pattern. 相似文献

In perfused human umbilical arteries both angiotensin I and II induced vasoconstriction with a monophasic response. Angiotensin I and II induced vasoconstrictions at doses ≥10?8M and 10?9 M respectively. Captopril inhibited the angiotensin I response while the angiotensin II receptor blocker Sar1-Ala8 AII inhibited the effect of both angiotensins. PGI2 attenuated the angiotensin II response in a dose dependent pattern. PGE2 and PGF2α in concentrations below the critical levels for creating pressure responses , also attenuated the angiotensin II response. The cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin potentiated the angiotensin II response indicating that endogenous production of prostanoids is of importance in the modulation of angiotensin effects. 相似文献

Effects of an orally active angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor, SQ 14225, on the actions of angiotensin I (AI) infused intravenously for 120 to 390 min were studied in 5 normal men. When 20 ng/kg/min of AI infusion was started immediately after a single oral administration of 100 mg of SQ 14225, a significant rise in blood pressure (BP) was observed for the first 15 min, but BP began to fall from 17 min and returned to the pretreatment level at 45 min. This BP level continued at least to 120 min and in one subject to 180 min. In this subject BP began to rise again from 185 min and reached the level of 15 min at 390 min. Plasma AI level increased gradually from 45 min. At 15 min plasma renin activity (PRA) decreased and plasma aldosterone (PA) increased, but then PRA began to increase and PA began to decrease. At 120 min the values of PRA and PA were similar to the pretreatment values. In one subject plasma AI and PRA began to decrease and PA began to increase after 120 or 180 min. On the other hand, in the 5 men sole AI infusion caused a continued BP rise, PRA decrease and PA increase, and sole SQ 14225 administration caused increases in plasma AI and PRA and a decrease in PA but no BP change. From these results it was concluded that complete blockade and partial inhibition of AI conversion by 100 mg of oral SQ 14225 lasted for about 2.5 and 6.5 hr, respectively and that BP rise, PRA suppression and aldosterone stimulation after AI infusion were entirely due to the actions of angiotensin II converted from AI. 相似文献

Summary Slices from the kidneys of the rainbow trout which were exposed to 10-6 or 10-5 M angiotensin II (AII) and isolated glomeruli exposed to 10-7 or 10-5 M AII showed ultrastructural changes compared to control tissues incubated without AII. The studies indicate that angiotensin II has a direct action on glomerular ultrastructure, flattening the epithelial podocytes and broadening the primary processes with fusion of pedicels in extreme cases. These changes suggest a probable effect of AII on water permeability of the trout glomerulus, an intrarenal action which is believed to form an essential part of the antidiuretic adaptation to increased environmental salinities. 相似文献

To ascertain the mechanism of interaction between angiotensins (AI and AII) and the liver, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (captopril) and a receptor antagonist (losartan) were used. Monovascular or bivascular liver perfusion was used to assess both hemodynamic (portal and arterial hypertensive responses) and metabolic (glucose production and oxygen consumption) effects. Microphysiometry was used for isolated liver cell assays to assess AII or losartan membrane receptor-mediated interaction. Captopril abolishes portal hypertensive response (PHR) to AI but not the AII effect. AII infused via the portal pathway promotes calcium-dependent PHR but not a hypertensive response in the arterial pathway (AHR); when infused into the arterial pathway AII promotes calcium-dependent PHR and AHR. Losartan infused into the portal vein abolishes PHR to AII but not the metabolic response; when infused via both pathways it abolishes the hypertensive responses and inhibits the metabolic effects. Isolated liver cells specifically respond to AII. Sinusoidal cells, but not hepatocytes, respond to 10 nM losartan. We conclude that AI has to be converted to AII to produce PHR. Quiescent stellate cells interacts in vitro with AII and losartan. Hemodynamic responses to AII are losartan-dependent but metabolic responses are partially losartan-independent. AII hemodynamic actions are mainly presinusoidal. 相似文献

1. Administration of SQ20881 diminished pressor responses to intravenous (i.v.) injections of angiotensin I (AI), but not those to injections of angiotensin II (AII), in Pekin ducks, indicating the occurrence of a mechanism similar to the mammalian angiotensin-converting enzyme reaction. 2. Pressor responses to AII were enhanced by general anaesthesia with phenobarbital, pentobarbital, or a combination of both phenobarbital and pentobarbital. 3. Ganglionic blockade with mecamylamine enhanced the pressor responses to AII and NE, but not those to tyramine, in anaesthetized ducks. 4. It is proposed that the potentiating effects of general anaesthesia and ganglionic blockade on pressor responses were due both to a lowering of baseline blood pressure (BP) and an inhibition of the neural reflexes which normally buffer BP. Furthermore, it is suggested that the augmented responsiveness of anaesthetized, ganglion-blocked ducks shows that the pressor effect of AII is predominantly of peripheral, rather than central nervous system (CNS), origin. 相似文献

Glucokinase, the organ specific key enzyme of glucose metabolism in liver, was studied in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes during the first two days after cell preparation. In the presence of dexamethasone low concentrations of insulin (10?9 mol/l) prevented the observed time dependent decrease of glucokinase activity while higher insulin concentrations (10?8 and 10?7 mol/l) led to a twofold increase of enzyme activity. The enhancement of glucokinase activity was completely blocked by either actinomycin D or cycloheximide. The degree of this insulin dependent induction was correlated with the concentration of added dexamethasone, which seemed to perform a permissive function. The induction of glucokinase activity could be prevented by addition of glucagon (2 × 10?7 mol/l). 相似文献

Recent reports indicate that some imidazole-5-acetic acid derivatives are competitive antagonists of angiotensin II receptors. However, to our knowledge, there is no published information regarding: 1) what constant infusion rate of these non-peptide angiotensin receptor blockers is necessary to effectively antagonize angiotensin receptors in vivo, 2) whether imidazole-5-acetic acid derivatives antagonize both prejunctional and postjunctional angiotensin receptors, and 3) whether effective levels of these compounds exert non-specific actions and/or partial agonist activity. To address these issues, either vehicle, 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-(2-nitrobenzyl) imidazole-5-acetic acid (CV-2961; 30 and 100 micrograms/min) or a standard angiotensin receptor blocker, 1Sar8Ile-angiotensin II (100 ng/min), was infused intravenously into captopril-treated rats that were prepared for in situ perfusion of their mesenteric vascular beds. Infusion of CV-2961 for two and one-half hours did not alter arterial blood pressure, mesenteric perfusion pressure, plasma aldosterone level, or mesenteric vascular responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation or exogenous norepinephrine. The higher dose of CV-2961 (100 micrograms/min) completely blocked angiotensin II-induced enhancement of vascular responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation and shifted the angiotensin dose-response curve 10-fold to the right with respect to angiotensin II-induced increases in mesenteric perfusion pressure. The effects of the lower dose of CV-2961 (30 micrograms/min) on these actions of angiotensin II were not statistically significant. 1Sar8Ile-angiotensin II abolished both the prejunctional and postjunctional effects of angiotensin II. We conclude that in intact rats CV-2961, infused at 100 micrograms/min, antagonizes both prejunctional and postjunctional angiotensin II receptors, yet has a somewhat greater effect on the prejunctional actions of angiotensin II. CV-2961 is devoid of partial agonist activity, and no non-specific actions of CV-2961 are evident. Imidazole-5-acetic acid derivatives may find considerable utility as pharmacological probes and as therapeutic agents. 相似文献

Analysis of angiotensin-stimulated sodium transport in cultured smooth muscle cells from rat aorta 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Angiotensin peptides (AI, AII, AIII) increased the rate of Na+ accumulation by smooth muscle cells (SMC) cultured from rat aorta. The stimulatory effect of AII on Na+ uptake was observed when Na+ exodus via the Na+/K+ pump was blocked either by ouabain or by the removal of extracellular K+. AII was at least ten times more potent than AIII and about 100 times more potent than AI in stimulating Na+ uptake. Saralasin had little effect on Na+ uptake by itself but almost completely blocked the increase caused by AII. The stimulation of net Na+ entry by AI, but not AII, was prevented by protease inhibitors. The stimulation of Na+ uptake was almost completely blocked by amiloride. Tetrodotoxin, which prevented veratridine from increasing Na+ uptake, had no effect on the response to AII. Angiotensin increased the rate of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake (Na+/K+ pump activity) but had no effect on ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity in frozen-thawed SMC or in microsomal membranes isolated from cultured SMC. The stimulation of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake by AII was blocked by saralasin. Omitting Na+ from the external medium prevented AII from increasing 86Rb+ uptake. AII had no effect on cell volume or cyclic AMP levels in the cultured SMC. These results suggest that angiotensin peptides activate an amiloride-sensitive Na+ transporter which supplies the Na+/K+ pump with more Na+, its rate-limiting substrate. 相似文献

Summary In the present study, we have examined the direct actions of angiotensin II (AII) in rabbit renal brush border membrane (BBM) where binding sites for AII exist. Addition of AII (10–11–10–7
m) was found to stimulate22Na– uptake by the isolated BBM vesicles directly. AII did not affect the Na+-dependent BBM glucose uptake, and the effect of AII on BBM22Na+ uptake was inhibited by amiloride, suggesting the involvement of Na+/H+ exchange mechanism. BBM proton permeability as assessed by acridine orange quenching was not affected by AII, indicating the direct effect of AII on Na+/H+ antiport system.In search of the signal transduction mechanism, it was found that AII activated BBM phospholipase A2 (PLA) and that BBM contains a 42-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (G-protein) that underwent pertussis toxin (PTX)-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. Addition of GTP potentiated, while GDP-ßS or PTX abolished, the effects of AII on BBM PLA and22Na+ uptake, suggesting the involvement of G-protein in AII's actions. On the other hand, inhibition of PLA by mepacrine prevented AII's effect on BBM22Na+ uptake, and activation of PLA by mellitin or addition of arachidonic acid similarly enhanced BBM22Na+ uptake, suggesting the role of PLA activation in mediating AII's effect on BBM22Na+ uptake.In summary, results of the present study show a direct stimulatory effect of AII on BBM Na+/H+ antiport system, and suggest the presence of a local signal transduction system involving G-protein mediated PLA activation. 相似文献

Abstract: The effects of local perfusion with the glutamate receptor agonist NMDA and the noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist dizolcipine (MK-801) on extracellular dopamine (DA), GABA, and glutamate (Glu) levels in the dorsolateral striatum were monitored using in vivo microdialysis in the halothane-anesthetized rat. In addition, the sensitivity of both the basal and NMDA-induced increases in levels of these neurotransmitter substances to perfusion with tetrodotoxin (TTX; 10?5 M) and a low Ca2+ concentration (0.1 mM) was studied. The results show that the local perfusion (10 min) with both the 10?3 and 10?4 M dose of NMDA increased striatal DA and GABA outflow, whereas only the (10?3 M) dose of NMDA was associated with a small and delayed increase in extracellular Glu levels. The NMDA-induced effects were dose-dependently counteracted by simultaneous perfusion with MK-801 (10?6 and 10?5 M). Both the basal and NMDA (10?3 M)-induced increase in extracellular striatal DA content was reduced in the presence of TTX and a low Ca2+ concentration, whereas both basal and NMDA-stimulated GABA levels were unaffected by these treatments. Both the basal and NMDA-stimulated Glu levels were enhanced following TTX treatment, whereas perfusion with a low Ca2+ concentration reduced basal Glu levels and enhanced and prolonged the NMDA-induced stimulation. These data support the view that NMDA receptor stimulation plays a role in the regulation of extracellular DA, GABA, and Glu levels in the dorsolateral neostriatum and provide evidence for a differential effect of NMDA receptor stimulation on these three striatal neurotransmitter systems, possibly reflecting direct and indirect actions mediated via striatal NMDA receptors. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that external calcium (Ca2+) is required for the effects of angiotensin II (AII) on aldosterone secretion in adrenal glomerulosa zone. Using bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells prepared by collagenase dispersion, we examined whether external Ca2+ is required for the activation of phospholipase C by AII. Adrenal glomerulosa cells were exposed to Ca-EGTA buffered media to provide accurate estimates of external free Ca2+ concentrations. Phospholipase C activation was evaluated by measurement of inositol phosphates production. At 0.1 M Ca2+ and less, sustained AII effects on inositol monophosphate (IP), inositol bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) were markedly inhibited. Increasing the Ca2+ concentration to 50kM or greater fully restored All-induced inositol phosphates production. AII-induced increases in cytosolic Ca2+ measured by Quin-2 fluorescence, were diminished at lower external Ca2+ concentrations. Treating adrenal glomerulosa cells with Chelex-100, a strong Ca2+ binding resin, blocked early activation of phospholipase C by AII. Inhibition of IP3 production was also observed when inhibitors of Ca2+ movement across the plasma membrane were used, viz., La2+, TMB-8 and nifedipine. The requirement for Ca2+ during AII-induced activation of phospholipase C may be explained, at least partly by a requirement for Ca2+ at a site between the AII receptor and Phospholipase C. 相似文献

Adult rat heart muscle cells obtained by perfusion of the heart with collagenase have been used to characterize the insulin receptors by equilibrium binding and kinetic measurements. Binding of 125I-labelled insulin to heart cells exhibited a high degree of specificity; it was dependent on pH and temperature, binding at steady increased with decreasing temperatures. About 70% of the radioactivity bound at equilibrium at 25°C could be dissociated by addition of an excess of unlabelled insulin. 54 and 40% of 125I-labelled insulin was degraded by isolated heart cells after 2 h at 37°C and 4 h at 25°C, respectively. This degrading activity was effectively inhibited by high concentration of albumin.Equilibrium binding studies were conducted at 25°C using insulin concentrations ranging from 2.5 · 10?11 mol/l to 10?6 mol/l. Scatchard analysis of the binding data resulted in a curvilinear plot (concave upward), which was further analyzed using the average affinity profile. The empty site affinity constant was calculated to be 9.5 · 107 l/mol with a total receptor concentration of 3.4 · 106 sites per cell.The presence of site-site interactions of the negative cooperative type among the insulin receptors has been confirmed by kinetic experiments. The rate of dilution induced dissociation was enhanced in the presence of native insulin (5 · 10?9 mol/l), both, under conditions of low and high fractional saturation of receptors. 相似文献

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is found in the adrenal gland, but the role of adrenal ACE in the formation of angiotensin II (AII) and subsequent stimulation of aldosterone is unclear. We examined the effect of adrenal ACE activity on aldosterone secretion by superfusing rat adrenal capsules with angiotensin I (AI) in the presence and absence of the ACE inhibitor, lisinopril. Angiotensin I (10 microM) stimulated aldosterone secretion from 914 +/- 41 to 1465 +/- 118 pg/min/capsule (P less than 0.05). Simultaneous superfusion of AI plus lisinopril (100 microM) inhibited the stimulation of aldosterone by 73% (P less than 0.05). Perfusion of the capsules with angiotensin II (1 microM) stimulated aldosterone from 893 +/- 180 to 1466 +/- 181 pg/min/capsule (P less than 0.01). In contrast, simultaneous superfusion of AII plus lisinopril (100 microM) did not inhibit the AII stimulation of aldosterone. The failure of lisinopril to inhibit AII stimulation of aldosterone argues against a toxic or nonspecific action of lisinopril. The inhibition of AI stimulation of aldosterone release by lisinopril is mostly due to lisinopril inhibition of ACE and resulting decreased conversion of AI to AII. These results demonstrate that adrenal ACE may generate AII from AI in the adrenal gland, and this locally produce AII stimulates aldosterone. 相似文献
