Different signal transduction pathways, i.e. Ca2+- and cAMP-dependent, involved in mediating the effects of angiotensin II (AII) were investigated separately using the short-circuit current (Isc) technique and radioimmunoassay (RIA) in a cystic fibrosis pancreatic cell line (CFPAC-1) which exhibits defective cAMP-dependent but intact Ca2+-dependent anion secretion. The AII-induced Isc could be inhibited by the specific antagonist for AT1, losartan (1 microM), but not the antagonist for AT2, PD123177 (up to 10 microM). The AII-induced Isc was also reduced by the treatment of the cells with a Ca2+ chelator, BAPTA-AM (100 microM), indicating a dependence of the AII-induced anion secretion on the intracellular Ca2+. Treatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (0.1 microg/ml) or a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, U73122 (5 microM), resulted in a substantial reduction in the AII-induced Isc indicating involvement of Gi and PLC in the Ca2+-dependent anion secretion. RIA measurements showed that AII stimulated an increase in cAMP production which could be reduced by losartan, pertussis toxin and U73122 but not BAPTA-AM. In addition, inhibitors of cyclooxygenase, indomethacin (10 microM) and piroxicam (10 microM), did not have any effect on the AII-induced cAMP production, excluding the involvement of prostaglandins. Our results suggest that both AII-stimulated cAMP and Ca2+-dependent responses are mediated by the AT1 receptor and Gi-coupled PLC pathway. However, the AII-stimulated cAMP production in CFPAC-1 cells is not dependent on Ca2+ or the formation of prostaglandins.
