摘要：

Endothelin modulates human mesangial cell (HMC) proliferation in response to angiotensin II (Ang II). Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) have variable effects on HMC growth depending on culture conditions. No studies, however, have investigated the effects of ACEIs on HMC production of endothelin-1 in either actively proliferating or quiescent HMCs. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of ACEIs on HMC-associated mitogenesis, cell counts, and endothelin-1 production in the presence and absence of insulin in both quiescent and proliferating HMCs. It tests the hypothesis that ACEIs attenuate HMC growth through a reduction in HMC-associated endothelin-1 generation. The effects of four different ACEIs, an Ang II receptor antagonist, losartan, and a monoclonal antibody to endothelin-1 were evaluated. ACEIs inhibited HMC mitogenesis and cell counts in proliferative but not quiescent cells. This was due to the absence of ACE activity in HMCs and its presence in 10% fetal calf serum. Both ACEIs and losartan reduced endothelin-1 production per cell. Compared to vehicle, losartan reduced the amount of endothelin-1 in conditioned media to a greater extent than any ACEI (2.2 +/- 0.3, captopril v 1.9 +/- 0.5, quinaprilat v 3.8 +/- 0.3 Delta pg/cell x 10(-3) endothelin-1, losartan; P < .05). Moreover, insulin potentiated the antimitogenic effects of both ACEIs and losartan on HMCs. Lastly, the attenuated increase of endothelin-1 in conditioned media and associated antimitogenic effect on HMCs with losartan alone was not potentiated by the addition of any ACEI to losartan. These data provide indirect evidence that Ang II production may occur in culture media when both its precursors and a sufficient amount of converting enzyme activity are present. This is predicated on the observation that HMCs lack ACE activity and that ACEIs blunt mitogenesis of proliferating HMCs. The kinetics of this reaction, as well as the mechanism of how insulin potentiates the antimitogenic effects of ACEIs, were not studied.
