title: Phosphoinositide turnover enhanced by angiotensin II in isolated rat glomeruli.
abstract: To clarify the signal transduction mechanism of angiotensin II in renal glomeruli, we studied the effect of the hormone on phospholipid metabolism using isolated rat glomeruli. Stimulation of the glomeruli pulse-chase labeled with [3H]glycerol by angiotensin II caused a rapid (within 15 s) breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) with a concurrent production of 1,2-diacylglycerol. This effect of angiotensin II was in a dose-dependent manner within the range from 10(-12) M to 10(-6) M, and was inhibited by saralasin. Angiotensin II also decreased the 3H radioactivity of PIP slightly only at 15 s and increased that of phosphatidic acid after 15 s, with no significant effect upon the labelings of phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) within 1 min. The change in phospholipid metabolism by angiotensin II was similar when the glomeruli were labeled with [32P]orthophosphate: the decrease in the labeling of PIP2 and the increase in the labeling of phosphatidic acid after 15 s. In addition, 32P labeling of PI increased after 2 min. These results suggest that angiotensin II, after binding to glomerular receptors, induces initial PIP2 hydrolysis to diacylglycerol and subsequent resynthesis of PIP2 through phosphoinositide turnover.
