The detailed mechanism of the effects of extracellular Ca2+ entry blockade on angiotensin II ( Ang II) type 1 ( AT1) receptor-mediated growth-promoting signals in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is not fully understood. Ang II stimulation caused biphasic activation of growth-promoting signals, reaching a peak at 5 to 10 min followed by a decrease and a second peak at around 2 to 4 h. Addition of PD98059 (2'-amino-3'- methoxyflavone), a mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase inhibitor, or AG490 [alpha-cyano-(3,4-dihydroxy)-N-benzylcinnamide], a Janus-activated kinase 2 (Jak2) inhibitor, even 4 h after Ang II treatment inhibited [H-3] thymidine incorporation. The calcium channel blocker azelnidipine attenuated the later peaks of extracellular signal-regulated kinasenase (ERK), tyrosine kinase 2, Jak2 activation, and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 1 and STAT3. Interestingly, azelnidipine increased rather than decreased the later ERK peaks in cells treated with small interfering RNA against mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1. Ang II-mediated [H-3] thymidine incorporation was inhibited dose dependently by azelnidipine and also by azelnidipine, plus olmesartan, whereas olmesartan or azelnidipine alone at such lower doses did not affect [H-3] thymidine incorporation. These data provide new insight into the manner in which calcium channels exert an essential action in the AT1 receptor-mediated growth-promoting actions in VSMCs.
