Stimulation of DNA and RNA synthesis in cultured rabbit cardiac fibroblasts by angiotensin IV

Abstract

1. Although angiotensin II (ANG II) has been identified as a key factor in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and remodelling, the role of its degradation fragment ANG II (3-8), angiotensin IV (ANG IV), is unknown. The presence of ANG IV in the blood circulation as well as the identification of ANG IV receptors in the heart and other organs indicates that ANG IV may act as a peptide hormone. 2. ANG IV receptors were characterized by binding of 125I-ANG IV to membranes of cultured rabbit cardiac fibroblasts. Incorporation of [3H]thymidine, [3H]uridine and [3H]leucine into DNA, RNA and proteins, respectively, was determined to analyse the growth effects of ANG IV, ANG II and the combination of both peptides. 3. ANG IV displaces 125I-ANG IV bound to membranes of rabbit cardiac fibroblasts with high affinity, whereas ANG II receptor-specific ligands ([Sar1,Ile8]ANG II, losartan, CGP 42 112 A) do not. 125I-ANG IV binds to a single class of binding site with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 4.87 +/- 0.11 nmol/l. The density of ANG IV receptors (Bmax) is 371 +/- 8.3 fmol/mg of protein. 125I-ANG IV binding is not markedly affected in the presence of the non-hydrolysable GTP analogue GTP gamma S, whereas binding of 125I-ANG II is red...Continue Reading
