Transfected cells were treated with a submaximal concentration of either AngII (5 nM for AT1; 15 nM for AT1[AT2TM6-CT], AT1[AT2 ECL3-CT], and AT1[AT2 TM7-CT]) or CGP 42112A (100 nM for AT1[AT2 TM6-CT]; 150 nM for AT1[AT2ECL3-CT]; 250 nM for AT1[AT2 TM7-CT]) in the absence or presence of losartan (1 μM) or PD 123319 (1 μM) and release of IP3 was quantitated. Release of IP3 in drug-treated groups for each receptor is expressed as percentage of its control (unstimulated) level. The values reported represent the mean ± standard error of three to six independent experiments.

  • N.D., not determined.

  • 3-160 , significantly different from control (unstimulated) IP3 release (P < 0.01).

  • 3-164 , significantly different from agonist-induced IP3 release (P < 0.01).
