title: Mechanism of cellular effect of phorbol esters on action of arginine vasopressin and angiotensin II on rat vascular smooth muscle cells in culture.
abstract: The inhibitory effect of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) on the Ca2+-mobilization mechanisms by arginine vasopressin (AVP) and angiotensin II (AII) was analysed in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in culture. PMA inhibited the Ca2+-mobilizing effect of both AVP and AII in a dose-dependent manner, including the rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ ( [Ca2+]i) and Ca2+ efflux. In addition, inositol trisphosphate (IP3) production induced by AVP or AII was more than 50% reduced by PMA. The involvement of protein kinase C was implicated by the diminution of the PMA effect by the specific protein kinase C inhibitor isoquinoline-sulphonyl-O-2-methylpiperazine (H7) and the lack of effect of an inactive phorbol. Thus, these results suggest that there is a blocking site that is common or similar for both AVP and AII signal transduction, and that it is a substrate for protein kinase C. This blocking action of protein kinase C occurred at least in part by inhibition of IP3 production and, subsequently, a reduction in cytosolic Ca2+ release. In the presence of ionomycin, which produces an increase in [Ca2+]i that is not altered by PMA, 45Ca2+ efflux was increased instead of inhibited by PMA, thus suggesting that protein kinase C activation also stimulates a Ca2+-extrusion mechanism in VSMC.
