title: Effect of angiotensin II type 2 receptor on tyrosine kinase Pyk2 and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase via SHP-1 tyrosine phosphatase activity: evidence from vascular-targeted transgenic mice of AT2 receptor.
abstract: Angiotensin II (Ang II) has two major receptor isoforms, AT1 and AT2. AT1 transphosphorylates Ca(2+)-sensitive tyrosine kinase Pyk2 to activate c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK). Although AT2 inactivates extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) via tyrosine phosphatases (PTP), the action of AT2 on Pyk2 and JNK remains undefined. Using AT2-overexpressing vascular smooth muscle cells (AT2-VSMC) from AT2-transgenic mice, we studied these undefined actions of AT2. AT1-mediated JNK activity was increased 2.2-fold by AT2 inhibition, which was abolished by orthovanadate. AT2 did not affect AT1-mediated Pyk2 phosphorylation, but attenuated c-Jun mRNA accumulation by 32%. The activity of src-homology 2 domain-containing PTP (SHP-1) was significantly upregulated 1 min after AT2 stimulation. Stable overexpression of SHP-1 dominant negative mutant in AT2-VSMC completely abolished AT2-mediated inhibition of JNK activation and c-Jun expression. These findings suggest that AT2 inhibits JNK activity by affecting the downstream signal of Pyk2 in a SHP-1-dependent manner, leading to a decrease in c-Jun expression.
