To examine localization of cathepsin B, a representative lysosomal cysteine protease, in atrial myoendocrine cells of the rat heart, immunohistochemistry at the light and electron microscopic level was applied to the atrial tissue, using a monospecific antibody for rat liver cathepsin B. In serial semi-thin sections, immunoreactivity for cathepsin B and atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) was detected in the para-nuclear region of atrial myoendocrine cells. Several large granules and many fine granules in the region of the cells were positively stained by the cathepsin B antibody. Gold particles indicating cathepsin B antigenicity labeled secretory granules in the cells, which were also labeled by those indicating ANP, using thin sections of the Lowicryl K4M-embedded material. Moreover, some granules labeled densely by immunogold particles for cathepsin B seemed to be lysosomes. By double immunostaining using thin sections of the Epon-embedded material, gold particles indicating cathepsin B and ANP antigenicities were co-localized in secretory granules of the cells. By enzyme assay, activity of cathepsin B was three times higher in atrial tissue than ventricular tissue. The results suggest that co-localization of cathepsin B and ANP in secretory granules is compatible with the possibility that cathepsin B participates in the maturation process of ANP.

1. Plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were measured by radioimmunoassay in eight normal healthy volunteers before and during mineralocorticoid escape. 2. Mean plasma ANP on a fixed sodium intake before fludrocortisone was 6.5± sem 1.1 pg/ml. Within 24 h of fludrocortisone administration there was a significant increase in plasma ANP which continued to increase daily reaching a plateau by day 4 (14.9 ± 2.4 pg/ml) to day 7 (15.1 ± 2.6 pg/ml). 3. The rise in plasma ANP was closely related to the amount of sodium retained during the fludrocortisone treatment and the sodium ‘escape’ occurred by days 4 to 7. 4. These results support the concept that ANP could play an important hormonal role in overcoming the sodium-retaining effects of mineralocorticoids in man.
