Growth responses to angiotensin II in bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells

The effects of angiotensin II (ANG II) on growth responses of primary cultures of bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells were studied to explore the mechanism(s) by which ANG II leads to hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the glomerulosa layer in sodium deficiency. ANG II did not increase [3H]thymidine incorporation during the first 5 days of culture, but mitogenic responses to ANG II became evident after longer periods of culture and were most prominent between 8 and 11 days after seeding. At this time, cell cycle analysis showed that ANG II increased the proportion of cells in the S phase and did not cause accumulation of cells in the G2 phase. Consistent with this finding, ANG II also stimulated proliferation of glomerulosa cells during treatment for 3 days in the presence of 1% serum. The mitogenic effect of ANG II was not inhibited by pretreatment with pertussis toxin and was mediated by AT1 receptors as indicated by its sensitivity to the subtype-selective antagonist DuP-753. Also, there was no emergence of AT2 receptors in glomerulosa cells during prolonged culture. These results indicate that intracellular mechanisms that mediate growth responses become more active during prolonged culture of glomerulosa cells. Thus, in addition to regulating the steroidogenic and secretory functions of the zona glomerulosa, ANG II exerts mitogenic actions that depend on the functional state of the glomerulosa cells.
