Signaling events involving angiotensin IV (ANG IV)-mediated pulmonary artery endothelial cell (PAEC) proliferation were examined. ANG IV significantly increased upstream phosphatidylinositide (PI) 3-kinase (PI3K), PI-dependent kinase- 1 (PDK-1), extracellular signal-related kinases (ERK1/ 2), and protein kinase B-alpha/Akt (PKB-alpha) activities, as well as downstream p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (p70S6K) activities and/or phosphorylation of these proteins. ANG IV also significantly increased 5-bromo-2'-deoxy-uridine incorporation into newly synthesized DNA in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Pretreatment of cells with wortmannin and LY-294002, inhibitors of PI3K, or rapamycin, an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin kinase and p70S6K, diminished the ANG IV-mediated activation of PDK-1 and PKB-alpha as well as phosphorylation of p70S6K. Although an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, PD-98059, but not rapamycin, blocked ANG IV-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/ 2, both PD-98059 and rapamycin independently caused partial reduction in ANG IV-mediated cell proliferation. However, simultaneous treatment with PD-98059 and rapamycin resulted in total inhibition of ANG IV-induced cell proliferation. These results demonstrate that ANG IV-induced DNA synthesis is regulated in a coordinated fashion involving multiple signaling modules in PAEC.
