}Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are an important cellular component of myocardial responses to injury and to hypertrophic stimuli. We studied G protein-coupled receptors to understand how CFs integrate signals that activate G(q), G(s), and G(i). We predicted that the second messenger pathways present in CFs were distinct from those in cardiac myocytes and that unique signaling interactions existed in the CFs. ANG II, bradykinin, ATP, and UTP stimulated inositol phosphate (IP) production 2.2- to 7…

A large portion of the IP-Ca(2+) responses of rat CFs to ANG II are short-lived because of rapid, PKC-mediated desensitization, which is demonstrated to be proportional to G(q)-phospholipase C-IP(3) activity under the conditions studied.

Data indicate that ANG II potentiates cAMP formation via Ca2+-dependent activation of AC activity, which in turn attenuates collagen synthesis and demonstrates one functional consequence of cross-talk between Gq and Gs signaling pathways in cardiac fibroblasts.

Because cardiac fibrosis is an important component of diabetic cardiomyopathy, new data is included that suggests a possible crosstalk between the RAS and AGE/RAGE pathway in order to activate CFs in diabetes.

The data support the BL localization of cP2Y(11) receptors and receptor coupling to changes in I(sc) in MDCK-D1 cells except in cases in which receptors are overexpressed; receptor overexpression leads to altered sensitivities and sites of coupling to physiologic responses.

Angiotensin (ANG) II can activate MAP kinase in cardiac fibroblasts by either Ca(2+)- or PKC-dependent pathways, and whereas the full effect of PDGF-BB on thymidine incorporation and cell proliferation requires a phorbol ester-sensitive PKC, the hyperplastic growth effect of ANG II does not.

It is shown that pertussis toxin (PTX) pretreatment specifically potentiates the responses of rat heart cells to beta 2AR but not beta 1AR stimulation, and that the Gs-coupled beta 2 AR can simultaneously activate a pathway that leads to functional inhibition in cardiac cells via a PTX-sensitive G protein.

The data presented here demonstrate that, in a physiologically relevant setting, G-protein is present in large stoichiometric excess relative to both receptor and effector, and shows that adenylate cyclase is the component distal to receptor that limits agonist-mediated increases in cyclic AMP production.
