Popis: This study examined the effect of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, enalaprilat, on mesangial cell (MC) DNA synthesis induced by H2O2, IL-6 and PDGF. MC were incubated with enalaprilat (2.5-100 mumol/l) alone and together with combinations of H2O2 (3 daily pulses of 10(-6) mol/l), IL-6 (5 ng/ml) and PDGF (10 ng/ml). DNA synthesis was assessed after 72 h using [3H]thymidine (3H-TdR) incorporation. Enalaprilat alone had no effect on MC DNA synthesis. Stimulation of MC by H2O2, PDGF and IL-6 alone resulted in increases in 3H-TdR of 4936.6 +/- 1147.5, 5640.5 +/- 1537.6 and 4413.5 +/- 998.4 cpm, respectively (P0.05 above control). Only 2.5 mumol/l enalaprilat effected a significant reduction in IL-6 and PDGF-induced DNA synthesis. Incubation of MC with H2O2 + PDGF or H2O2 + IL-6 resulted in increases of 3H-TdR of 6471.9 +/- 1785.1 and 5507.2 +/- 1270 cpm, respectively (P0.05 above control). Addition of enalaprilat with either H2O2 + PDGF or H2O2 + IL-6 effected significant reductions in DNA synthesis over the range 2.5-100 mumol/l. These data demonstrate that ACE inhibitors modulate MC DNA synthesis induced by reactive oxygen species.
