Atrial Natriuretic

The receptor for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the rat renal papilla was characterized pharmacologically. After solubilization and irreversible binding with disuccinimidylsuberate, it was shown on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) to be made of a single peptide of 125 kDa. The regulation of the renal papillary ANP receptor was studied in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. DOCA-salt rats had suppressed plasma renin activity and increased plasma ANP concentrations (408 +/- 35 vs. 133 +/- 12 pg/ml in uninephrectomized controls, P less than 0.01). The renal papilla was hypertrophied in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats (93 +/- 1 vs. 52 +/- 1 mg, P less than 0.01). The density of ANP sites in the papilla was significantly higher in DOCA-salt rats (141 +/- 31 fmol/papilla) than in controls (34 +/- 8 fmol/papilla, P less than 0.01). Affinity of sites in DOCA-salt rats and controls was similar. The production of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) in renal papilla in response to ANP was significantly higher in DOCA-salt rats. In contrast to the renal papillary ANP receptor, acid-washed vascular and glomerular ANP sites were significantly decreased in density in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. In blood vessels and glomeruli, both the high- and low-molecular mass receptor (as detected on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions) was proportionately decreased in density in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. The present results suggest that an increased number of ANP receptors and exaggerated cGMP response to ANP in the renal papilla may underlie the increased natriuretic responsiveness of the kidney to ANP in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.

1. We assessed the changes of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide gene expression associated with progression and regression of cardiac hypertrophy in renovascular hypertensive rats (RHR). 2. Two-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rats (6-week-old male Wistar) were made and studied 6 (RHR-1) and 10 weeks (RHR-2) after the procedure. Regression of cardiac hypertrophy was induced by nephrectomy at 6 weeks after constriction, and the nephrectomized rats were maintained further for 4 weeks (nephrectomized rat: NEP). Sham operation was performed, and the rats were studied after 6 (Sham-1) and 10 weeks (Sham-2). Atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide gene expression in the left ventricle was analysed by Northern blotting. 3. Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide were significantly higher in RHR-1 and RHR-2 than in Sham-1, Sham-2 and NEP. Atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide mRNA levels in RHR-1 were approximately 7.2-fold and 1.8-fold higher than those in Sham-1, respectively, and the corresponding levels in RHR-2 were 13.0-fold and 2.4-fold higher than those in Sham-2, respectively. Atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide mRNA levels of NEP were normalized. Levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide mRNA were well correlated positively with left ventricular weight/body weight ratios. There was a significant positive correlation between the levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide mRNA (r = 0.86, P<0.01). 4. We conclude that the expression of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide genes is regulated in accordance with the degree of myocardial hypertrophy and that the augmented expression of these two natriuretic peptides may play an important role in the maintenance of cardiovascular haemodynamics in renovascular hypertension.

Atrial Natriuretic

To evaluate the role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in exercise-related cardiovascular and hormonal adjustments in hypobaric conditions, 14 young athletes performed a maximal ergometer test in a hypobaric chamber adjusted to simulate the altitudes of sea level and 3,000 m. Plasma immunoreactive ANP levels rose from 5.89 to 35.1 pmol/l at sea level and rose significantly less (P less than 0.05), from 5.36 to 22.3 pmol/l, at simulated 3,000 m. Plasma immunoreactive amino-terminal peptide of proANP (NT-proANP) levels increased to the same extent at sea level and at simulated 3,000 m (from 240 to 481 pmol/l and from 257 to 539 pmol/l, respectively). Plasma immunoreactive aldosterone increased significantly less at simulated 3,000 m (P less than 0.05), but the changes in plasma renin were similar in both conditions. Plasma immunoreactive endothelin-1 and serum erythropoietin levels remained unchanged. In conclusion, we found a blunted ANP response to maximal exercise of ANP in acute hypobaric exposure compared with that in normobaric conditions, but no significant difference in the NT-proANP responses between the two conditions. The divergence may be due to stimulation of the elimination mechanism of ANP.

1. To assess the threshold dose for bioactivity of brain natriuretic peptide and the role of endopeptidase 24.11 in metabolism of brain natriuretic peptide at physiological plasma levels, we studied eight normal men receiving 2 h infusions of low-dose brain natriuretic peptide [0.25 and 0.5 pmol min−1 kg−1 with and without pretreatment with an endopeptidase inhibitor (SCH 32615, 250 mg intravenously)] in placebo-controlled studies. 2. Plasma brain natriuretic peptide increased 2-fold during the infusion of 0.25 pmol min−1 kg−1 (mean increment above control 3.9 pmol/l, P < 0.001), and tripled (P < 0.001) with 0.5 pmol min−1 kg−1. Plasma renin activity was inhibited by both doses (14.8%, P < 0.01, and 20%, P < 0.001, respectively). A significant natriuresis (56% increase in urine sodium/creatinine ratio, P < 0.02) occurred with the higher dose. Blood pressure, haematocrit, plasma cGMP, atrial natriuretic peptide and aldosterone were unaffected by either dose. 3. Compared with brain natriuretic peptide (0.5 pmol min−1 kg−1) alone, SCH 32615 pretreatment increased peak plasma brain natriuretic peptide (13.4±0.78 versus 12.4±0.86 pmol/l, P < 0.05), ANP (7.5±0.96 versus 5.9±0.4 pmol/l, P < 0.01) and cGMP (4.8 ± 1.7 versus 3.9 ± 1.4 nmol/l, P < 0.001). Plasma renin activity was further suppressed with SCH 32615 pretreatment (29% compared with 20%, P < 0.001). 4. Small acute increments in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (4 pmol/l) have significant biological effects in normal men without altering plasma atrial natriuretic peptide or cGMP.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have potent vasodilatory and diuretic feature, and therefore potentially hypotensive effect. No in vivo studies, however, were performed to support it. This study investigated the hypothesis via overexpressing CYP epoxygense genes in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (rAAV) was utilized to mediate long-term transfection of CYP2J2 and CYP2C11 genes, respectively, in adult SHR, and animal systolic blood pressure (SBP) was monitored using arterial caudilis indirect manometric method. Results showed that at 2 months the urinary excretion of stable hydrolysis metabolic product of 14, 15-EE, 14–15-DHET increased by 11 and 8.7 folds in rAAV-2J2 and rAAV-2C11 groups, respectively, compared with AAV-GFP-treated rats. (2) SBP in 2J2- and 2C11-treated rats decreased from 175.0 ± 2.8mHg to 163.5 ± 5.8mmHg and 161.2 ± 6.1 mmHg, respectively, ( p <0.01) at month 2, and it is 165.0 ± 4.7 mmHg and 173.0 ± 12.8 mmHg at month 6 after gene injection (~30mmHg and ~23mmHg lowerer than that in control animals, respectively, p <0.001). (3) Before the rats were sacrificed, cardiac function tests with Pressure-Volume System showed that maximum intracardiac pressure was 202.1 ± 30.0 & 209.1 ± 17.1mmHg in two gene-treated rats, respectively, significantly lower than control (241.2 ± 18.2mmHg, p <0.01) and cardiac output in treatment rats were significantly higher than control (p<0.05). (4) Interestingly, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) mRNA were up-regulated 6–14 folds respectively in myocardium of 2J2 and 2C11 groups; furthermore, C-type receptor mRNA of ANP was increased in heart, lung, kidney and aorta. (5) in cultured atrial cells (HLB2G5), exogenous EETs stimulated ANP production. In conclusions, for first time our data indicates overexpression of CYP2J2 or CYP2C11 could prevent development of hypertension in SHR, improve cardiac functions, which may involve up-regulating ANP expression and its receptors in target tissues, which suppresses collagen deposition and cardiovascular remodeling.

These studies evaluated the involvement of central oxytocin (OT) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors in the osmotic inhibition of hypovolemia-induced salt appetite. Rats were pretreated centrally with the A chain of the cytotoxin ricin conjugated to OT (rAOT) or ANP (rAANP) to selectively inactivate cells bearing these respective receptors, or rats were pretreated with the unconjugated A chain (rA) as a control. Hypovolemia was induced with subcutaneous colloid injections, and rats then were given either 2 M mannitol, which raises plasma osmolality but lowers plasma sodium, or 1 M NaCl, which raises both. Hypertonic mannitol inhibited saline ingestion in rA-treated control rats but stimulated ingestion in rAOT- and rAANP-treated rats, whereas hypertonic NaCl blunted saline ingestion in rA- and rAOT-treated rats but stimulated ingestion in rAANP-treated rats. Angiotensin II-induced saline intake was similarly potentiated in rAOT- and rAANP-treated rats, indicating that this treatment also activates central inhibitory OT and ANP pathways. These data suggest that central ANP receptors mediate both Na(+)- and osmolality-induced inhibition of NaCl ingestion, whereas central OT receptors primarily mediate osmolality-induced inhibition of NaCl ingestion in rats.
