title: Effects of angiotensin II and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate on phosphatidylinositol metabolism, 45Ca2+ fluxes, and aldosterone synthesis in bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells.
abstract: Angiotensin II (AII) and N6,O2'-dibutyryladenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (dibutyryl cyclic AMP) both stimulated aldosterone synthesis in bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells. AII altered 45Ca2+ fluxes and increased 32PO4 incorporation into phosphatidylinositol in these cells, whereas dibutyryl cyclic AMP did not affect either process. Neither AII nor dibutyryl cyclic AMP increased the mass of phosphatidylinositol. Both agents are known to stimulate pregnenolone synthesis. Thus, although dibutyryl cyclic AMP and AII may increase aldosterone synthesis at a common site (pregnenolone synthesis), they do so by different mechanisms. AII stimulation of phosphatidylinositol labeling by 32PO4 (the "PI effect") was blocked when cells were incubated in a medium containing both EGTA and the calcium antagonist, 8-(N,N-diethylamino)-octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzoate hydrochloride (TMB-8), suggesting a calcium requirement for the PI effect.
