Abstract

Conditioned medium obtained from bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (SMC) in culture was found to elevate angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (EC) by 2- to 3-fold upon incubation for 24 to 48 h. The elevation in ACE was time dependent and inhibited by 10(-6) M cycloheximide, making it likely that the elevation was related to new protein synthesis by EC. Conditioned medium from EC failed to produce the same effect. The stimulatory effect of SMC conditioned medium on EC ACE was uninfluenced by exposures to anoxia as compared with room air, either during conditioning of medium or while assaying the effect of conditioned medium on EC ACE. Inhibitors of prostaglandin metabolism and calcium transport failed to influence the stimulatory effect of SMC conditioned medium on EC ACE. The stimulatory effect on EC ACE by conditioned medium was additive to that produced by Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and, similar to baseline ACE, was inhibited by 3 x 10(-8) M ouabain. Thus, SMC produce a factor that regulates the level of EC ACE.
