ANG II arrests LLC-PK1 cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and induces hypertrophy, an effect mediated by induction of p27Kip1. We studied whether atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) may modulate ANG II-induced hypertrophy and p27Kip1 expression in tubular LLC-PK1 cells. ANP, through its fragments 3---28 and 4---27, prevented ANG II-induced cell cycle arrest. ANP inhibited >80% of ANG II-induced p27Kip1 protein expression (Western blots). ANP stimulated expression of MKP-1, a phosphatase involved in dephosphorylation of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, up to 12 h. ANP prevented the ANG II-mediated phosphorylation peak of MAP kinase after 12 h of stimulation. 8-Bromo-cGMP mimicked all the effects of ANP. Transfection with MKP-1 antisense, but not sense, oligonucleotides abolished the modifying role of ANP on ANG II-mediated cell cycle arrest.. The effect of ANP on ANG II-mediated hypertrophy of LLC-PK1 cells is regulated on the level of MAP kinase phosphorylation, a key step in the induction of p27Kip1. Although ANP and ANG II both stimulate generation of reactive oxygen species, ANP additionally induces expression of MKP-1, leading to interference with ANG II-mediated MAP kinase phosphorylation.
