The angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT(1)) exerts a variety of its signaling and cellular actions through its effects on protein phosphorylation. Phosphoproteomic analysis of angiotensin (Ang) II-stimulated aortic smooth muscle cells revealed that heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) represents a major protein phosphorylation target of the AT(1) signaling pathway. Stimulation of cells with Ang II resulted in 1.7-fold (P&lt;0.05) and 5.5-fold (P&lt;0.001) increases in HSP27 phosphoisoforms at pI 5.7 and pI 5.4, respectively. This was accompanied by a 54% (P&lt;0.01) decrease in the nonphosphorylated HSP27 isoform, located at pI 6.4. Treatment of samples with alkaline phosphatase reversed this redistribution of HSP27 phosphoisoforms. Ang II-stimulated HSP27 phosphorylation was completely blocked by pretreatment of cells with the AT(1) antagonist CV11974. Phosphoamino acid analysis demonstrated that Ang II-induced phosphorylation of both HSP27 phosphoisoforms occurred exclusively on serine. Protein kinase C inhibition completely blocked phorbol ester-induced HSP27 phosphorylation but did not impair Ang II-stimulated phosphorylation of HSP27, suggesting that AT(1) increased HSP27 phosphorylation by a protein kinase C-independent pathway. Intrajugular infusion of Ang II in rats increased HSP27 in aorta by 1.7-fold (P&lt;0.02), and this response was inhibited by CV11974. These results suggest that Ang II-induced HSP27 phosphorylation is a physiologically relevant AT(1) signaling event. Because serine phosphorylation of HSP27 blocks its ability to cap F-actin, Ang II/AT(1)-induced HSP27 phosphorylation may play a key role in actin filament remodeling required for smooth muscle cell migration and contraction.
