Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a pluripotent hormone in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and stimulates arterial hypertrophy, a hallmark of remodeling in hypertension. These effects are mediated primarily through the G protein–coupled receptor Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R).1 In VSMCs, AT1R-mediated signaling is biphasic, and internalization of the agonist/receptor complex into what we called a “signaling domain” is required for the tonic phase of signaling (initially characterized by phospholipase D activation) but not for the initial phospholipase C stimulation, which occurs at the cell surface.2 This evidence was consistent with the existence of spatially discrete Ang II signaling domains. We showed that sequential Ang II–induced phospholipase activation is mediated through ≥2 Gα subunits (Gαq and Gα12/13), as well as their associated Gβγ components.3,4 In addition, various nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, including cAbl and some from the Src family, as well as mitogen-activated protein kinases and Akt, are activated by Ang II and mediate VSMC hypertrophy and growth.5–7 Activation of these pathways is in part dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation (transmodulation) of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R), which serves as a “scaffold” for the assembly of cSrc and Pyk2, leading to downstream activation of extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 and Akt.8,9 These results are consistent with a model that requires temporal dispersion and organization of the AT1R signaling repertoire in VSMCs.7,10 Accumulating evidence suggests that receptors and the signaling molecules with which they associate are not randomly distributed in the cell membrane but are localized in specialized signaling domains. Functionally distinct microdomains, formed by the lateral packing of glycosphingolipids and cholesterol within the membrane bilayer, have been identified in plasma membranes. These domains, called “lipid rafts,” have been implicated in membrane trafficking and cellular signaling mechanisms and serve …
