Description

Angiotensin (Ang) II via the AT(1) receptor acts as a mitogen in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) through stimulation of multiple signaling mechanisms, including tyrosine kinases and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). In addition, cytosolic phospholipase A(2)(cPLA(2))-dependent release of arachidonic acid (AA) is linked to VSMC growth and we have reported that Ang II stimulates cPLA(2) activity via the AT(1) receptor. The coupling of Ang II to the activation of cPLA(2) appears to involve mechanisms both upstream and downstream of MAPK such that AA stimulates MAPK activity which phosphorylates cPLA(2) to further enhance AA release. However, the upstream mechanisms responsible for activation of cPLA(2) are not well-defined. One possibility includes phosphatidylinositide
