Midregional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), first isolated in 1981, is a novel peptide with multiple biological functions, especially within the cardiovascular system. This peptide plays an important role in many processes, including natriuresis, diuresis, and other physiological and pathophysiological pathways in the human body. Several electronic databases (PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus, and ScienceDirect) were analyzed in the present literature review. The aim of this study was to elucidate the wide roles of MR-proANP, which can be analyzed because of the development of a new sandwich immunoassay, and to determine the possible diagnostic and prognostic implications of MR-proANP on cardiovascular disease and other disorders. The studies discussed in this literature review provide valuable data on the role of ANP in the pathogenesis, diagnostic process, prognosis, and potential therapeutic strategies for disease. Although ANP is mainly associated with cardiovascular disease, it may be used as a biomarker in diabetology, neurology, and metabolic disorders.

To investigate the role of endogenous atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in rats with heart failure (HF), we administered HS-142-1 (HS; 3 mg/kg body wt iv), a novel nonpeptide ANP-receptor antagonist, to rats with surgically induced myocardial infarction and sham-operated rats. HF was characterized by a higher left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and higher plasma ANP concentration vs. controls. HS administration significantly reduced the plasma and urinary levels of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate in rats with HF [plasma concentration 10.6 +/- 2.6 vs. 2.7 +/- 0.4 nM (P < 0.05); urinary excretion 48 +/- 8 vs. 12 +/- 2 pmol/min (P < 0.05)]. Systemic and renal hemodynamics were unaffected by HS administration. Urine flow (-35%) and urinary sodium excretion (-50%) were significantly decreased after HS only in those rats with HF that had no changes in systemic and renal hemodynamics. These results suggest that the elevated ANP levels in HF do not contribute directly to the maintenance of systemic hemodynamics but rather compensate for the HF mainly via diuresis and natriuresis, achieved by the inhibition of renal tubular reabsorption rather than by renal vasodilatation.

Immunoreactive endothelin (ETi) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANPi) blood levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in patients with clinically defined sepsis. The interaction between these two peptides and their relation to circulatory shock and mortality were studied. All septic patients (n = 16) had significantly higher ETi (22.3 ± 11.1 pg/ml) and ANPi (398.3 ± 154.3 pg/ml) plasma concentrations compared to control subjects (ETi, 4.1 ± 1.2; ANPi, 59.1 ± 14.8 pg/ml; n = 13). ETi levels followed the severity of illness according to the APACHE II scoring system and were higher in patients who did not survive. ETi levels were significantly higher in the presence of shock and bacteraemia. Furthermore, ETi correlated well with plasma lactate (r = 0.83, p < 0.05), but not with renal function. ANPi levels did not show correlation with any of these determinants. Serial blood sampling, six consecutive days after admission, showed that ETi levels gradually decreased in normotensive patients in contrast to patients with septic shock. ANPi levels did not show systematic changes in time, and no relationship was observed between ETi and ANPi levels. These results suggest that plasma ETi levels are indicative for disease severity and might have prognostic significance. The role of ANPi during sepsis remains to be eludicated.
