摘要:: Vascular smooth muscle cells of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) are known to show increased responsiveness to angiotensin II (Ang II) compared with cells of normotensive control Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). We investigated the hypothesis that differential levels of cGMP lead to the different responsiveness of the cells, using vascular smooth muscle cells in culture. cGMP levels in extracts of SHR-derived cells were lower than those of WKY-derived cells. This was true for both unstimulated cells and cells treated with equal concentrations of either sodium nitroprusside or S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine. Stimulation of cells with Ang II did not affect levels of cGMP but increased levels of inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) and Ca2+, which were greater in SHR- than in WKY-derived cells. When SHR and WKY cells were preincubated with different concentrations of S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine to generate similar cGMP levels in each cell type, the subsequent IP3 response to Ang II was the same in the two cell types. To reduce any influence of cGMP on responses, we permeabilized the cells with alpha-toxin. Stimulation of alpha-toxin-permeabilized the cells with high Ca2+ revealed an IP3 response in SHR- but not WKY-derived cells. Similarly, permeabilized SHR cells responded to Ang II but WKY cells did not. However, GTP and GTP gamma S elevated IP3 in both cell types. Taken together, these results indicate that the low response of WKY cells can be accounted for by the inhibitory influence of cGMP. However, when this inhibition is removed by permeabilization, further differences between the cells are revealed that will contribute to the elevated SHR response.
