The interaction of ANG II with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-induced DNA synthesis was studied in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. PDGF-BB-induced DNA synthesis was delayed (∼6–8 h) by ANG II as shown by a time-course experiment. Losartan, an AT1-receptor antagonist, blocked the transient inhibitory effect of ANG II, whereas the AT2-receptor antagonist PD-123319 had no effect. Autocrine- or paracrine-acting transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), believed to be a mediator of ANG II-induced inhibitory effects, was not responsible for the delay of PDGF-BB-induced DNA synthesis, because a potent TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody could not reverse this effect of ANG II, nor was the delay of the PDGF-BB effect caused by inhibition of PDGF-β-receptor phosphorylation as shown by Western blot analysis of immunoprecipitated PDGF-β receptor. In conclusion, our results show that ANG II can exert a transient inhibitory effect on PDGF-BB-induced proliferation via the AT1 receptor.

Cyclic mechanical stretch of bladder smooth muscle cells (SMC) increases rates of DNA synthesis and stimulates transcription of the gene for heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF), an ErbB1/EGF receptor ligand that has been linked to hypertrophic bladder growth. In this study we sought to clarify the signaling pathways responsible for mechanotransduction of the stretch stimulus. HB-EGF mRNA levels, DNA synthesis, and AP-1/Ets DNA binding activities were induced by repetitive stretch of primary culture rat bladder SMC. Inhibitors of the p38 SAPK2 pathway, the angiotensin receptor type 1 (AT1), and the ErbB2 tyrosine kinase reduced each of these activities, while an inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase (Erk-MAPK) pathway had no effect. Stretch rapidly activated stress-activated protein kinase 2 (p38 SAPK2) and Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK)/SAPK pathways but not the Erk-MAPK pathway and induced ErbB2 but not ErbB1 phosphorylation. Angiotensin II (ANG II) a bladder SMC mitogen previously linked to the stretch response, did not activate ErbB2, and ErbB2 activation occurred in response to stretch in the presence of an ANG receptor inhibitor, indicating that activation of the AT1-mediated pathway and the ErbB2-dependent pathway occurs by independent mechanisms. p38 SAPK2 and JNK/SAPK signaling also appeared to be independent of the ErbB2 and AT1 pathways. These findings indicate that stretch-stimulated DNA synthesis and gene expression in normal bladder SMC occur via multiple independent receptor systems (e.g., AT1 and ErbB2) and at least one MAPK pathway (p38 SAPK2). Further, we show that the Erk-MAPK pathway, which in most systems is linked to receptor-dependent cell growth responses, is not involved in progression to DNA synthesis or in the response of the HB-EGF gene to mechanical forces.
