Angiotensin II (Ang II) elicits an Ang II type 2 (AT2) receptor-mediated increase in
delayed-rectifier K+ current
(IK) in neurons cultured from newborn
rat hypothalamus and brainstem. This effect involves a pertussis toxin
(PTX)-sensitive Gi protein and is abolished by inhibition
of serine and threonine phosphatase 2A (PP-2A). Here, we determined
that Ang II stimulates [3H]arachidonic acid (AA)
release from cultured neurons via AT2 receptors. This
effect of Ang II was blocked by inhibition of phospholipase
A2 (PLA2) and by PTX. Because AA and its
metabolites are powerful modulators of neuronal K+
currents, we investigated the involvement of PLA2 and AA in
the AT2 receptor-mediated stimulation of
IK by Ang II. Single-cell reverse
transcriptase (RT)-PCR analyses revealed the presence of
PLA2 mRNA in neurons that responded to Ang II with an
increase in IK. The stimulation of neuronal
IK by Ang II was attenuated by selective
inhibitors of PLA2 and was mimicked by application of AA to
neurons. Inhibition of lipoxygenase (LO) enzymes significantly reduced
both Ang II- and AA-stimulated IK,
and the 12-LO metabolite of AA
12S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid
(12S-HETE) stimulated IK. These data indicate the involvement of a PLA2, AA,
and LO metabolite intracellular pathway in the AT2
receptor-mediated stimulation of neuronal IK
by Ang II. Furthermore, the demonstration that inhibition of PP-2A
abolished the stimulatory effects of Ang II, AA, and
12S-HETE on neuronal IK but
did not alter Ang II-stimulated [3H]-AA release
suggests that PP-2A is a distal event in this pathway.
