Abstract
The aim of the present work was to study the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on catecholamines and neuropeptide Y (NPY) release in primary cultures of human adrenal chromaffin cells. Ang II stimulates norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (EP) and NPY release from perifused chromaffin cells by 3-, 2- and 12-fold, respectively. The NPY release is more sustained than that of catecholamines. We found that the receptor-AT(2) agonist, T(2)-(Ang II 4-8)(2) has no effect on NE, EP and NPY release from chromaffin cells. We further showed that Ang II increases intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). The selective AT(1)-receptor antagonist Candesartan blocked [Ca(2+)](i) increase by Ang II, while T(2)-(Ang II 4-8)(2) was ineffective. These findings demonstrate that AT(1) stimulation induces catecholamine secretion from human adrenal chromaffin cells probably by raising cytosolic calcium.
