Angiotensin II-induced growth signaling mechanisms were investigated in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from mesenteric arteries of sponteneously hypertensive (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). In WKY, angiotensin II significantly increased protein synthesis ([3H]leucine incorporation) but not DNA synthesis ([3H]thymidine incorporation). In SHR, angiotensin II increased protein and DNA synthesis. VSMCs from both strains expressed angiotensin type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) receptors. Losartan (an AT1 receptor antagonist) but not PD-123319 (an AT2 receptor antagonist) attenuated angiotensin II-stimulated protein synthesis in WKY VSMCs. In SHR, losartan and PD-123319 partially inhibited angiotensin II-induced VSMC proliferation. The mitogen-activated protein kinase or extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) kinase inhibitor PD-98059 blocked VSMC growth responses to angiotensin II in both strains. Angiotensin II increased ERK1/2 activation more in SHR than WKY, an effect inhibited by losartan but not PD-123319. LY-294002 [a phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI3) kinase inhibitor] blocked angiotensin II-stimulated ERK1/2 activation in SHR but not in WKY, whereas bisindolylmaleimide [a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor] was ineffective. In conclusion, angiotensin II stimulates VSMC proliferation via AT1 and AT2 receptors in SHR. In WKY, angiotensin II induces VSMC hypertrophy via AT1 receptors. ERK1/2-dependent pathways regulated by intracellular Ca2+ but not PKC mediate these effects. In SHR VSMCs, PI3 kinase plays a role in augmented angiotensin II-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation. These angiotensin II-mediated signaling events could contribute to vascular remodeling in SHR.
