Dopamine as a novel antimigration and antiproliferative factor of vascular smooth muscle cells through dopamine D1-like receptors.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and proliferation are believed to play key roles in atherosclerosis. To elucidate the role of vascular dopamine D1-like receptors in atherosclerosis, the effects of dopamine and specific D1-like agonists SKF 38,393 and YM 435 on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB-mediated VSMC migration and proliferation were studied. We observed that cells stimulated by PDGF-BB (5 ng/mL), showed increased migration and proliferation. These effects were prevented by coincubation with dopamine, SKF 38,393, or YM 435 (1 to 10 mumol/L), and this prevention was reversed by Sch 23,390 (1 to 10 mumol/l), a specific D1-like antagonist. These actions are mimicked by forskolin (1 to 10 mumol/L), a direct activator of adenylate cyclase and 8-bromo-cAMP at 0.1 to 1 mmol/L and are blocked by a specific protein kinase A inhibitor, N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinoline-sulfonamide (H 89), but not blocked by its negative control, N-[2-(N-formyl)-p-chlorociannamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinoline sulfonamide (H 85). PDGF-BB (5 ng/mL)-mediated activation of phospholipase D, protein kinase C, and mitogen activated protein kinase activity were significantly suppressed by coincubation with dopamine. These results suggest that vascular D1-like receptor agonists inhibit migration and proliferation of VSMC, possibly through protein kinase A activation and suppression of activated phospholipase D, protein kinase C, and mitogen-activated protein kinase activity.
