Primary rat aortic cells, when treated with arginine vasopressin or depolarizing concentrations of K+, responded to atriopeptin II and 8-bromo-cGMP (8-Br-cGMP) with decreases in intracellular Ca2+ levels. The effects of atriopeptin and 8-Br-cGMP were diminished in cells which had been passaged many times. Low levels of cGMP-dependent protein kinase were present in soluble extracts prepared from the unresponsive cells in later passage compared with extracts from responsive cells. Unresponsive cells, when induced to incorporate cGMP-dependent protein kinase into the cytoplasm using the osmotic lysis procedure of Okada and Rechsteiner (Okada, C. Y., and Rechsteiner, M. (1982) Cell 29, 33-41), responded to atriopeptin and 8-Br-cGMP with reductions in peak Ca2+ levels in response to vasopressin and depolarizing concentrations of K+. Cells which were furnished with affinity-purified antibody to the cGMP-dependent protein kinase after the introduction of the kinase remained unresponsive to the effects of atriopeptin. In addition, antibody furnished to responsive primary cultured cells inhibited the effects of atriopeptin and 8-Br-cGMP on Ca2+ levels. These data suggest that repetitively passaged cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells lose their responsiveness to cGMP concurrently with the loss of cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Restoration of kinase to the cells results in the restoration of responsiveness to cGMP. Thus cGMP-dependent protein kinase appears to be the mediator of the reduction in Ca2+ levels upon elevation of intracellular cGMP.
