    Notes: 1. Endothelin (ET), vasopressin (VP) and angiotensin II (AII) all stimulate aldosterone production in adrenal glomerulosa cells but the response to AII is greater than that to either ET or VP.2. Total inositol phosphate responses to AII and ET were similar but the response to VP was lower.3. Cytosolic free Ca2+ responses to AII were higher than to either of the other peptides.4. Metabolism of 145IP3 was different under stimulation by the three different peptides.5. Adrenal glomerulosa cells can distinguish between three different agonists which stimulate phosphatidylinositol turnover and produce a selective response to each peptide.

    Notes: 1. The pH-sensitive dye 2,7-biscarboxy-ethyl-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) was used to examine the contribution of Na+-H+ exchange and bicarbonate-dependent processes to intracellular pH (pHi) regulation in cultured human vascular smooth muscle.2. The recovery of pHi following an NH4Cl-induced acidosis was Na+-dependent and could be inhibited by ethylisopropylamiloride (200 μmol/L). Recovery was unaffected by the anion exchange inhibitor 4-acetamido-4′-isothio-cyano-stilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid (200 μmol/L).3. Recovery from intracellular acidosis was more rapid when bicarbonate ions were present in the extracellular medium.4. The results suggest that Na+-H+ exchange as well as an Na+-dependent bicarbonate process, which can be inhibited by ethylisopropylamiloride, can influence the ability of smooth muscle to recover from intracellular acidosis.

    Notes: 1. Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is produced and secreted by multiple vascular cell types, thus influencing the processes and the extent to which the vasculature is remodelled during the development of the intima or a neointima and during hypertrophy and angiogenesis.2. Urokinase plasminogen activator mRNA expression is up- and down-regulated by growth factors, cytokines and steroids. Urokinase plasminogen activator is secreted as a single chain inactive form that may be proteolytically converted to active or inactive forms. Targeting of proteolytic activity may occur via focalized expression of uPA and its cell surface receptors (uPAR). Proteolytic activity is also controlled through the often co-ordinated expression of specific inhibitors.3. A proteolytic cascade involving uPA provides its major role in tissue remodelling through the primary degradation of extracellular matrix and secondarily through the activation of transforming growth factor-β or release from the matrix of basic fibroblast growth factor. In addition, uPA secreted by growth factor-stimulated vascular cells may contribute to the chemotactic and mitogenic responses ascribed to the growth factor and recent evidence strongly suggests that uPA has direct biological actions on vascular cells.4. The cell surface binding of uPA via its growth factor-like domain to uPAR localizes and activates the protease, but may also initiate transmembrane signalling of biological responses, including migration/invasion and proliferation. As the uPAR lacks intracellular signalling domains, the signals may be transduced via interactions between uPA/uPAR and more classical signalling receptors. The mechanism by which uPA may be involved in cell signalling is yet to be elucidated.

    Notes: 1. The enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (11βHSD2) confers specificity on the non-specific mineralocorticoid receptor by converting cortisol to cortisone.2. We have examined the localization of this enzyme in the human skin, myocardium and saphenous vein by immuno-histochemical techniques.3. High amounts of 11βHSD2 immunoreactivity were found in smooth muscle cells in the arterioles of the skin, heart and saphenous vein. Lower amounts of staining were also found in longitudinal and concentric smooth muscle cells lining the lumen of the saphenous vein.

    Notes: 1. Na+/H+ exchange, an ethylisopropylamiloride (EIPA)-sensitive Na+ and HCO3- dependent system and a diisothio-cyanatostilbenedisulphonic acid (DIDS)-sensitive Na+ and HCO3- transporter, contribute to sodium influx and intracellular pH (pHi) regulation in vascular smooth muscle.2. In cultured cells from the human internal mammary artery, Na+/H+ exchange and the EIPA-sensitive Na+ and HCO3- dependent system contribute about 80% to basal sodium influx. The residual Na+ influx is both EIPA and DIDS-insensitive.3. Sodium influx via these mechanisms influences the ability of vascular smooth muscle to synthesize protein late in the G1 phase of the mitotic cell cycle. This, in turn, affects DNA biosysthesis.4. These Na+ exchanges/transporters have the capability to facilitate the development of vascular hypertrophy in hypertension.
