Addition of angiotensin II (0.3 microM) to bovine adrenal fasciculata cell suspensions prelabeled with [32P] induced a rapid (15 seconds) and marked decrease of the radioactivity from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (62%) and phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate (35%). This effect was concentration-dependent and specifically inhibited in the presence of (Sar1-Ala8)-angiotensin II; it was also completely prevented in the absence of extracellular calcium. The present data appear to illustrate the earliest biological response detectable in bovine fasciculata cells under angiotensin II challenge.

Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a leading cause of primary aldosteronism (PA), a condition marked by excessive aldosterone secretion. CYP11B2, the aldosterone synthase, plays a critical role in aldosterone biosynthesis and the development of APA. Despite its significance, encoding regulatory mechanisms governing CYP11B2, particularly its degradation, remain poorly understood.

Objective: Changes in postmenopausal hormone levels are associated with a variety of disorders. This study elucidated the mechanism by which follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) increases cortisol production involved in development of menopause-related diseases.

Methods: The expression of FSH receptors (FSHRs) in murine adrenal zona fasciculata (AZF) cells and ATC7 cells was verified by immunofluorescence, western blotting and RT-PCR.
