title: Transcellular transport of angiotensin II through a cultured arterial endothelial monolayer.
abstract: We have studied the mechanisms of angiotensin II (A-II) transport through a cultured arterial endothelial cell monolayer. The transport of 125I-labeled A-II was inhibited by excess unlabeled A-II (50 microM) and [Sar1, Ile8]-A-II (50 microM), but was not inhibited by bradykinin (50 microM). The transport process was shown to be temperature dependent and was inhibited by 10 mM NaN3 plus 50 mM 2-deoxyglucose. Monensin (50 microM), an inhibitor of endocytotic trafficking, reduced the rate of transport of 125I-A-II. It is also shown that the specific pathway for A-II transport was unidirectional from the apical to the basolateral surface of the endothelial cell monolayer.
