Multiple signaling pathways link the angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 (AT(1)) receptor to Gq-dependent inositol phosphate (IP) production and Gq-independent phospho-extracellular signal-activated kinase (p-ERK) 1/2 activation by Ang 11 in the regulation of cardiovascular vasoconstriction and cell growth, respectively. An Ang II analogue, [Sar(1), IIe(4), IIe(8)]Ang II, did not stimulate Gq-dependent IP production, but still activated Gq-independent p-ERK1/2 in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells as well as in a cell line that stably expressed AT(1). This activation was mostly mediated by [Sar(1), IIe(4), IIe(8)]Ang II-induced Gq-independent epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation. We found that AT(1) receptor signaling shows bifurcation into functionally separate pathways. A clear understanding of this unique signaling may be necessary for the development of therapeutic agents to treat disorders such as hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy.
