Kinin B1 receptor expression was characterized in human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells to further elucidate the function and specificity of three previously proposed pathways [nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), protein kinase C, and agonist autoregulation] that regulate this inducible G protein-coupled receptor. Radioligand binding assays, real-time reverser transcription/polymerase chain reaction with an optional actinomycin D treatment period, and NF-kappaB immunofluorescence were primarily employed in these primary cell cultures. Various stimulatory compounds that increase receptor mRNA stability only (human and bovine sera, cycloheximide) or that stimulate NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and both mRNA concentration and stability [interleukin (IL)-1beta, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)] all increased the density of binding sites for the tritiated B1 receptor agonist [3H]Lys-des-Arg9-bradykinin (without change in receptor affinity) in cell-based assays. Small interfering RNA assays indicated that NF-kappaB p65 is necessary for the effective expression of the cell surface B1 receptor under basal or IL-1beta, fetal bovine serum (FBS), or PMA stimulation conditions. Dexamethasone cotreatment reproduced these effects. IL-1beta-, FBS-, or PMA-induced stabilization of B1 receptor mRNA was inhibited by the addition of the protein kinase C inhibitor 3-[1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-1H-indol-3-yl]-4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione monohydrochloride (GF-109203x), which also diminished the Bmax under FBS or PMA treatment. Lys-des-Arg9-bradykinin had little effect on NF-kappaB activation, the Bmax, or receptor mRNA abundance or stability. Both NF-kappaB and protein kinase C signaling are required for the effective expression of the kinin B1 receptor in human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells.
