Abstract：
:The regulation of amino acid transport by angiotensin II (AII) and cyclic AMP (cAMP) was assessed in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, using a nonmetabolizable amino acid, alpha-[3H]aminoisobutyric acid (AIB). An exposure time in excess of 2 h was required for AII to elicit a stimulatory response, the magnitude of which increased in a time-dependent manner for 12 h. AII-induced transport was blocked by [1-sarcosine, 8-isoleucine]AII, a competitive inhibitor of AII binding. The effect of AII was not abolished by downregulation protein kinase C with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate or by use of a protein kinase C inhibitor, suggesting that transport in response to AII can be mediated by a protein kinase C independent pathway. In contrast, the elimination of calcium from the incubation medium reduced AII-stimulated AIB uptake. The calmodulin inhibitor N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide partially inhibited AIB uptake in response to AII, suggesting that calmodulin may be involved in the modulation of AII-stimulated amino acid transport. AIB transport was also increased by elevating intracellular cAMP levels via beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation, the use of a cAMP analog (N6-monobutyryl cAMP), or a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) or by direct stimulation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin. cAMP-induced AIB transport was evident within 10 min and peaked within 1 h. At 1 h AII enhanced cAMP-stimulated AIB transport. A possible mechanism for this effect is suggested by the observation that AII potentiated cAMP production in response to isoproterenol and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine.
