title: Role for protein kinase C in the modulation of glomerular PGE2 production by angiotensin II.
abstract: Angiotensin II increased PGE2 release from superfused glomeruli, and stimulated labeled inositol phosphate production. 12-O-Tetradecanoyl phorbol -13-acetate (TPA, 10(-7) M), which stimulates protein kinase C activity in soluble fractions of glomerular homogenates, suppressed angiotensin II actions on inositol phosphate production and PGE2. By contrast, 4a phorbol 12,13 di-decanoate and phorbol had no effect on protein kinase C activity or angiotensin II induced increases in inositol phosphate or PGE2. 1-(5-Isoquinolinyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), which inhibits protein kinase C activity in soluble fractions of glomerular homogenates, prevented TPA induced suppression of angiotensin II actions on inositol phosphate production and PGE2. Moreover H-7 prolonged the time course of angiotensin II induced inositol phosphate production and enhanced angiotensin II actions on glomerular PGE2 production. The results support a role for inositol phospholipid hydrolysis through the phospholipase C pathway in the mediation of angiotensin II actions on PGE2 in glomeruli and are consistent with negative modulation of these actions by protein kinase C.
