Stimulation of mesangial cells with angiotensin II leads to rapid phosphoinositide hydrolysis and subsequent mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. Previous studies indicated that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) triggers a negative-feedback signal, which limits phosphoinositide turnover. By comparing the relative susceptibility of PKC isoenzymes to phorbol ester-induced down-regulation with the down-regulation of the functional cell response, i.e. feedback inhibition of inositol trisphosphate production, we inferred that PKC-alpha and PKC-delta are candidates for regulating phosphoinositide hydrolysis in mesangial cells. To test this hypothesis further, we examined the effects of inhibitors of PKC, that are reportedly not active on PKC-delta, on angiotensin II-stimulated phosphoinositide degradation and Ca2+ mobilization. Pretreatment of mesangial cells with the PKC inhibitors staurosporine and K252a potently augmented inositol trisphosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol formation as well as Ca2+ mobilization in response to angiotensin II. These results suggest that PKC-alpha, but not PKC-delta, is the most likely candidate mediating feedback inhibition of angiotensin II-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover in mesangial cells.
