Angiotensin II was shown to activate S6-kinase in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in a dose- (10(-9)-10(-6) M) and time-dependent manner. Pretreatment of quiescent cells with 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate had no effect on the activation levels of the kinase at the hormone levels used. However, stimulation of S6-kinase activity by angiotensin II was markedly inhibited by the inclusion of amiloride hydrochloride in serum-free medium during activation procedures. Angiotensin was not mitogenic for VSMC at even the highest doses used (10(-6) M). These findings support the notion that raised intracellular pH results in the activation of protein synthesis in quiescent cells.

D006863 Hydrogen-Ion Concentration The normality of a solution with respect to HYDROGEN ions; H+. It is related to acidity measurements in most cases by pH pH,Concentration, Hydrogen-Ion,Concentrations, Hydrogen-Ion,Hydrogen Ion Concentration,Hydrogen-Ion Concentrations
D000584 Amiloride A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.
