Protein kinase D (PKD) is a novel serine/threonine kinase structurally distinct from all protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms but which like classic and novel PKCs is activated by phorbol esters and diacylglycerol. This study investigated the regulation of PKD in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) by physiological regulators of VSMC function and growth factors. Treatment of rabbit aortic VSMC with phorbol ester, angiotensin II and PDGF-BB all stimulated PKD activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in VSMC. The effect of angiotensin II was particularly rapid and potent (maximum stimulation within 1 min and at 0.5 nM). In contrast, the maximum effect of PDGF-BB was obtained after 5 min. Other factors, including basic FGF, IGF-I, IGF-II, endothelin-1 and endothelin-2, had no effect on PKD activity in VSMC. These results show for the first time that PKD activity is regulated in VSMC, and is activated by the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. PKD may be an important mediator for the biological function(s) of one or more PKC isoforms in VSMC and/or may represent a component of a novel PKC-independent signalling pathway in VSMC.

D010982 Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Mitogenic peptide growth hormone carried in the alpha-granules of platelets. It is released when platelets adhere to traumatized tissues. Connective tissue cells near the traumatized region respond by initiating the process of replication. Platelet Derived Growth Factor,Factor, Platelet-Derived Growth,Growth Factor, Platelet-Derived
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.
