RESUMO
The mechanisms of endothelin-1 (ET) actions were investigated in cultured rat aortic vascular smooth muscle A-10 cells. The A-10 cells have a single class of high affinity binding sites for ET with an apparent Mr of 65,000-75,000 on SDS-PAGE. Stimulation of cells with ET induces mobilization of Ca2+ from both intra- and extracellular pools to produce a biphasic increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration. ET increases cellular levels of inositol trisphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol, indicating activation of phospholipase C by ET. ET stimulates production of inositol phosphates in membranes prepared from A-10 cells in the presence of guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), but not in its absence. Further, specific binding of 125I-labeled ET to A-10 cell membranes is shown to be inhibited by GTP gamma S in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of A-10 cells with pertussis toxin induces ADP-ribosylation of a 41,000-D membrane protein but fails to block the ET-induced increases in inositol phosphate production and Ca2+ mobilization. These results indicate that the receptor for ET is coupled to phospholipase C via a guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein which is distinct from the pertussis toxin substrate in A-10 cells.
