Angiotensin II (Ang II) and insulin-like growth
factor I (IGF I) stimulate intracellular signaling events through
binding to their respective G-protein-coupled and growth factor
receptors. In rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells, IGF I (20 ng/ml)
induced a sustained (>30 min) increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of both Src-homology 2 domain-docking insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and Src-homology 2-binding tyrosine phosphatase 1D (PTP-1D). In
addition, IGF I stimulated PTP-1D phosphatase activity. Ang II
(10
7 M) also increased the tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-1 (4-fold), PTP-1D (5-fold), and PTP-1D activity
(3-4-fold), but with a more transient time course. Ang II also induced
PTP-1D·IRS-1 complex formation. These Ang II-induced events were not
affected by preincubation with an anti-IGF I antibody, suggesting that
Ang II's actions were not mediated via the autocrine secretion of IGF
I. Anti-PTP-1D antibody electroporation attenuated Ang II-induced
PTP-1D·IRS-1 complex formation and PTP-1D tyrosine phosphorylation
and activation. Our findings show that the tyrosine phosphorylation of
IRS-1 and PTP-1D represents a convergent intracellular signaling
cascade stimulated by both growth factor (i.e. IGF I) and
G-protein-coupled (i.e. AT1) receptors.
