Abstract
The effect of angiotensin II (ANG II) on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was studied in cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes. [Ca2+]i was estimated in groups of one to three cells by dual-wavelength microfluorometry or in cell populations using conventional fluorometry. ANG II (10(-8) M) produced an acute short-lived increase over the control basal diastolic [Ca2+]i and increased the frequency of the [Ca2+]i transients. The amplitude of the [Ca2+]i transients was decreased to 64.4% of basal values. The effect of ANG II on [Ca2+]i was blocked by the selective AT1 receptor subtype antagonist Du Pont 753 but not by the AT2 antagonist PD 123319. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ or blockade of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in cells cultured for 5-7 days abolished the [Ca2+]i transients, but only partially diminished the effect of ANG II on [Ca2+]i. Thapsigargin, an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-ATPase, reduced or abolished the [Ca2+]i response to ANG II. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), 10(-6) and 10(-7) M, also decreased the amplitude of the Ca2+ transients similar to ANG II. Pretreatment with 10(-6) M PMA or 10(-6) M 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol (OAG) inhibited the initial rise in [Ca2+]i and the Ca2+ transients. Thus ANG II produces an acute rise in [Ca2+]i which is derived predominantly from sarcoplasmic reticulum intracellular stores. This acute effect is followed by a significant reduction in the amplitude for the Ca2+ transient and may be mediated by activation of protein kinase C.Keywords
