We studied whether endothelin (ET) isopeptides have any effects on adenylate cyclase activity in cultured bovine endothelial cells (ECs). Both ET-1 and ET-3 dose-dependently inhibited cAMP formation stimulated by forskolin and isoproterenol, although the inhibitory effect of ET-1 was less potent than that of ET-3. In contrast, ET-1 and ET-3 almost equipotently inhibited forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation in bovine EC pre-treated with phosphoramidon, a putative ET-1-converting-enzyme inhibitor. These data suggest that endothelial ET(B) receptors are functionally coupled to adenylate cyclase, possibly via G(i) protein.
