Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed as a natural by-product of the normal metabolism of oxygen and have important roles in cell signaling. The aim of this study was to investigate direct effects of ROS on atrial hemodynamics and ANP secretion in isolated perfused beating rat atria with antioxidants. When atria were paced at 1.2 Hz, N-acetyl cystein (antioxidant, NAC), α-lipoic acid (antioxidant), tempol (superoxide dismutase mimic), and apocynin (NADPH oxidase inhibitor; NOX inhibitor) did not affect ANP secretion and atrial contractility. When pacing frequency was increased from 1.2 Hz to 4 Hz, the ANP secretion increased and atrial contractility decreased. H2O2 level was increased in perfusate obtained from atria stimulated by high pacing frequency. NAC, α-lipoic acid and tempol attenuated high pacing frequency-induced ANP secretion but apocynin did not. In contrast, pyrogallol (a superoxide generator) augmented high pacing frequency-induced ANP secretion. NOX-4 protein was increased by high pacing stimulation and in diabetic rat atria. In diabetic rat atria, high pacing frequency caused an increased ANP secretion and a decreased atrial contractility, that were markedly attenuated as compared to control rats. NAC and apocynin reduced high pacing frequency-induced ANP secretion in diabetic rat atria. These results suggest that intracellular ROS formation partly through an increasing NOX activity in response to high pacing frequency is associated with an increased ANP secretion in rat atria. 相似文献

Cyclooxygenase (COX) is a key enzyme regulating the production of various prostaglandins (PGs) from arachidonic acid. Angiotensin II has been reported to be an important inflammatory mediator, which increases COX-2. The aim of this study was to determine the role of various PGs and COX-2 in the regulation of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) secretion. PGF2α and PGD2 caused dose-dependent increases in ANP release and intra-atrial pressure. The potency for the stimulation of ANP secretion by PGF2α was higher than that by PGD2. In contrast, PGE2, PGI2, PGJ2, and thromboxane A2 did not show any significant effects. The increases in intra-atrial pressure and ANP secretion induced by PGF2α and PGD2 were significantly attenuated by the pretreatment with an inhibitor of PGF2α receptor. By the pretreatment with an inhibitor for phospholipase C (PLC), inositol 3-phosphate (IP3) receptor, protein kinase C (PKC), or myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), PGF2α-mediated increase in ANP secretion and positive inotropy were attenuated. Inhibitor for COX-1 or COX-2 did not cause any significant effects on atrial parameters. In hypertrophied rat atria, PGF2α-induced positive inotropy and ANP secretion were markedly attenuated whereas COX-2 inhibitor stimulated ANP secretion. The expression of COX-2 increased and the expression of PGF2α receptor mRNA decreased in hypertrophied rat atria. These results suggest that PGF2α increased the ANP secretion and positive inotropy through PLC–IP3–PKC–MLCK pathway, and the modulation of ANP secretion by COX-2 inhibitor and PGF2α may partly relate to the development of renal hypertension. 相似文献

Abnormal intracellular Ca(2+)-handling has been described in various heart diseases associated with cardiac hypertrophy. The crucial role of Ca(2+) in the excitation-secretion coupling in atrial cardiomyocytes is not well established. To investigate modulation of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) secretion regulated by Ca(2+) in hypertrophied atria, responsiveness of stretch-induced ANP to Ca(2+) was studied using isolated perfused quiescent hypertrophied rat atria. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single subcutaneous injection of 50 mg/kg monocrotaline (MCT) and were sacrificed at 5-6 weeks. In isolated perfused hypertrophied right atria from MCT rats, changes in atrial volume induced by increased atrial pressure caused proportional increases in mechanically stimulated extracellular fluid (ECF) translocation and stretch-induced ANP secretion. Stretch-induced ANP secretion was markedly increased by the depletion of extracellular Ca(2+). However, an accentuation of stretch-induced ANP secretion by Ca(2+) depletion was markedly attenuated in hypertrophied right atria, as compared to control right atria. Therefore, stretch-induced ANP secretion in terms of ECF translocation by Ca(2+) depletion in hypertrophied atria was significantly lower than in control right atria. However, no significant differences were observed between nonhypertrophied and control left atria. Depletion of extracellular Ca(2+) caused a decrease in intracellular calcium in single beating atrial myocytes, which was significantly attenuated in hypertrophied atrial myocytes. The results suggest that attenuation of Ca(2+)-induced negative regulation of ANP secretion in hypertrophied atria may be due to the disturbance of intracellular Ca(2+) regulation. 相似文献

Different response of ANP secretion to adrenoceptor stimulation in renal hypertensive rat atria 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Sympathetic nervous system and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) system play fundamental roles in the regulation of cardiovascular functions. Overactivity of sympathetic nervous system can lead into cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure and hypertension. The present study aimed to define which adrenergic receptors (ARs) affect atrial contractility and ANP release and to determine their modification in renal hypertensive rat atria. An alpha(1)-AR agonist, cirazoline increased ANP release with positive inotropism. These alpha(1)-AR agonist-mediated responses were attenuated by the alpha(1A)-AR antagonist, but not by the alpha(1B)- or alpha(1D)-AR antagonist. An alpha(2)-AR agonist, guanabenz and clonidine increased ANP release with negative inotropism and decreased cAMP level. The order of potency for the increased ANP release was cirazoline>phenylephrine=guanabenz>clonidine. In contrast, a beta-AR agonist, isoproterenol decreased ANP release with positive inotropism and these responses were blocked by the beta(1)-AR antagonist but not by the beta(2)-AR antagonist. The increased cAMP level by isoproterenol was suppressed by pretreatment with both beta(1)- and beta(2)-AR antagonists. In renal hypertensive rat atria, the effects of isoproterenol on atrial contractility, ANP release, and cAMP level were attenuated whereas the effect of cirazoline on ANP release was unaltered. Atrial beta(1)-AR mRNA level but not alpha(1A)-AR mRNA level was decreased in renal hypertensive rats. These findings suggest that alpha(1A)- and beta(1)-AR oppositely regulate atrial ANP release and that atrial beta(1)-AR expression/function is impaired in renal hypertensive rats. 相似文献

The effect of epinephrine on triglyceride synthesis and secretion was examined in isolated rat hepatocytes. Epinephrine potently inhibited triglyceride secretion but did not affect cellular triglyceride content or the rate of incorporation of radiolabelled glycerol into cell triglyceride. The inhibitory effect of epinephrine was abolished by inclusion of the alpha-adrenergic antagonist prazosin but not the beta-antagonist propranolol. 相似文献

Somatostatin is a cyclic-14 amino acid peptide which mainly distributed in digestive system and brain. Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) is a G-protein coupled receptor and all five SSTR subtypes are expressed in cardiomyocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of somatostatin on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) secretion and its signaling pathway. Somatostatin (0.01 and 0.1 nM) decreased ANP secretion in isolated beating rat atrium in a dose-dependent manner. But atrial contractility and translocation of extracellular fluid were not changed. Somatostatin-induced decrease in ANP secretion was significantly attenuated by the pretreatment with CYN 154806 (SSTR type 2 antagonist; 0.1 μM), but not by BIM 23056 (SSTR type 5 antagonist; 0.1 μM) and urantide (urotensin II receptor antagonist; 0.1 μM). When pretreated with an agonist for SSTR type 2 (Seglitide, 0.1 nM) and SSTR type 5 (L 817818, 0.1 nM), only Seglitide reduced ANP secretion similar to that of somatostatin. The suppressive effect of somatostatin on ANP secretion was attenuated by the pretreatment with an inhibitor for adenylyl cyclase (MDL-12330A, 5 μM) or protein kinase A (KT 5720, 0.1 μM). In diabetic rat atria, the suppressive effect of somatostatin on ANP secretion and concentration was attenuated. Real time-PCR and western blot shows the decreased level of SSTR type 2 mRNA and protein in diabetic rat atria. These data suggest that somatostatin decreased ANP secretion through SSTR type 2 and an attenuation of suppressive effect of somatostatin on ANP secretion in diabetic rat atria is due to a down-regulation of SSTR type 2. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a role in cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and heart failure. The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of endogenous ROS in atrial hemodynamics and ANP secretion in isolated perfused beating rat atria. Pyrogallol (a generator of superoxide anion, 0.1, 1 mM) or hydrogen peroxide (0.1, 1, 10, 30 mM) was perfused into atria paced at 1.2 Hz. Pyrogallol and hydrogen peroxide stimulated ANP secretion and concentration in a dose-dependent manner and dramatically decreased atrial contractility and translocation of extracellular fluid. The stimulatory effect of pyrogallol and hydrogen peroxide on ANP secretion was attenuated by the pretreatment with ascorbic acid (an antioxidant; 1 mM) and cariporide (an inhibitor of the Na+/H+ exchanger; 1 μM) but negative inotropic effect was not changed. U120 (a MAPKerk pathway inhibitor; 10 μM) attenuated the stimulatory effect of hydrogen peroxide on ANP secretion. However, U120 augmented negative inotropic effect and stimulatory effect of ANP concentration induced by pyrogallol. Antioxidant such as N-acetyl cystein, gallate, propyl gallate, or ellagic acid did not cause any significant changes in atrial parameters. These results suggest that intracellular - formed ROS stimulates ANP secretion partly through activation of MAPKerk pathway and Na+/H+ exchanger. 相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy, an adaptive process to an increased hemodynamic overload, includes not only an increase in cell size but also qualitative changes in constituent proteins. Although swelling-activated chloride channels (I(Cl,swell)) chronically activate in hypertrophied atrial myocytes, the role of I(Cl,swell) in regulation of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) release is poorly understood. We investigated the effects of I(Cl,swell) on ANP release and contractility and its modification in hypertrophied rat atria. To stimulate I(Cl,swell), hypoosmotic HEPES buffered solution (0.8T, 0.7T and 0.6T) was perfused into isolated perfused beating atria. The hypoosmotic HEPES buffered solution increased ANP release as compared to isoosmotic buffered solution (1T) in an osmolarity-reduction dependent manner. Atrial contractility and extracellular fluid translocation did not change. Exposure to hypoosmotic buffer (0.8T) containing low chloride (8mM), tamoxifen or diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (DIDS) significantly attenuated hypoosmolarity-induced ANP release. The pretreatment with genistein, okdaic acid, U73122, GF109203x, and staurosporine attenuated hypoosmolarity-induced ANP release whereas orthovanadate augmented it significantly. In hypertrophied atria from renal hypertensive rats, hypoosmolarity-induced ANP release was markedly attenuated and DIDS-induced decrease in ANP release and negative inotropy were augmented as compared to sham-operated rat atria. Therefore, we suggest that I(Cl,swell) may partly participate hypoosmolarity-induced ANP release through protein tyrosine kinase and phospholipase C-protein kinase C pathway. The modification of responses of ANP release to hypoosmolarity and DIDS in hypertrophied atria may relate to changes in I(Cl,swell) activity by persistent high blood pressure. 相似文献

Aims
Ursolic acid has recently been reported to increase both atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) secretion and mechanical dynamics in rabbit atria.Main methods
The present study was designed to clarify the regulatory effects of ursolic acid on the β-adrenergic or muscarinic receptor-mediated changes in ANP secretory and contractile function allowing measurement of atrial dynamics such as pulse pressure, stroke volume, and cAMP efflux in isolated perfused beating rabbit atria.Key findings
Pretreatment with ursolic acid significantly attenuated the isoproterenol (β-adrenergic agonist)-induced decrease in ANP secretion and increases in cAMP levels and atrial dynamics. Interestingly, ursolic acid concentration-dependently accentuated the acetylcholine-induced increase in ANP secretion and decrease in pulse pressure in the presence of isoproterenol (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that acetylcholine-induced increase in ANP secretion is potentiated by ursolic acid; furthermore, acetylcholine-induced decrease in atrial dynamics is also potentiated by ursolic acid, suggesting that ursolic acid regulates muscarinic receptor-mediated secretory and contractile responses in perfused beating rabbit atria.Significance
This implicates for the beneficial effects of ursolic acid in the regulation of cardiovascular and body fluid homeostasis. 相似文献11.
The isolated atria from 24 h fasted rats, either in the presence of glucose or in a substrate-free medium containing 2-deoxyglucose, mobilized the endogenous triacylglycerol (TG) to a greater extent than those from fed rats. The TG of the fasted atria had almost disappeared at the end of the 90 min incubation in the substrate-free plus 2-deoxyglucose medium, whereas in those from fed rats a mobilization-resistant portion of about 40% of the TG pool remained. This finding coincided with a lower decay of the contractile and pacemaker activities in the atria from fasted rats. Insulin abolished the TG mobilization in the atria from fed rats in the presence of glucose, but it was ineffective in the fasted atria. These data suggest that the endogenous-TG and glucose share in supporting the atrial functions, that insulin is involved in the control of TG consumption only in the fed state and that the greater TG mobilization in the fasted atria, at least partly, meets the energy requirements of the tissue. 相似文献

In order to investigate the regulatory mechanism for the atrial release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a perfused rabbit atrial model was devised. In the present experiments, the effect of a reduction in atrial distension on the immunoreactive ANP (irANP) secretion was investigated and compared in the perfused right and left atria of rats. Elevations in right and left atrial pressure resulted in proportional increases in the volume of atrial distension-reduction which was larger in the right than in the left atria. The basal rate of irANP secretion was higher in the right than in the left atria. Increases in the volume of atrial distension-reduction resulted in proportional increases in irANP secretion in both atria. Increment in irANP secretion in response to a reduction in atrial distension was significantly higher in the right than in the left atria. Higher rate of irANP secretion in response to unit volume change was observed in the right atria. Increases in the volume of atrial distension-reduction resulted in accentuated irANP responses in the right atrium. IrANP content was significantly higher in the right than in the left atria. The results suggest that the right atrium is a predominant site in ANP secretion in rats. 相似文献

The purpose of the present experiments was to define the role of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) in the regulation of atrial secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and atrial stroke volume. Experiments were performed in perfused beating and nonbeating quiescent atria, single atrial myocytes, and atrial membranes. CNP suppressed in a dose-related fashion the increase in atrial stroke volume and ANP secretion induced by atrial pacing. CNP caused a right shift in the positive relationships between changes in the secretion of ANP and atrial stroke volume or translocation of the extracellular fluid (ECF), which indicates the suppression of atrial myocytic release of ANP into the paracellular space. The effects of CNP on the secretion and contraction were mimicked by 8-bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcGMP). CNP increased cGMP production in the perfused atria, and the effects of CNP on the secretion of ANP and atrial dynamics were accentuated by pretreatment with an inhibitor of cGMP phosphodiesterase, zaprinast. An inhibitor of the biological natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR), HS-142-1, attenuated the effects of CNP. The suppression of ANP secretion by CNP and 8-BrcGMP was abolished by a depletion of extracellular Ca(2+) in nonbeating atria. Natriuretic peptides increased cGMP production in atrial membranes with a rank order of potency of CNP > BNP > ANP, and the effect was inhibited by HS-142-1. CNP and 8-BrcGMP increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration transients in single atrial myocytes, and mRNAs for CNP and NPR-B were expressed in the rabbit atrium. From these results we conclude that atrial ANP release and stroke volume are controlled by CNP via NPR-B-cGMP mediated signaling, which may in turn act via regulation of intracellular Ca(2+). 相似文献

The effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) on the release of atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) was studied in spontaneously beating, isolated rat atria. CGRP stimulated the ANP release in a dose-dependent manner. When the atria were incubated with a combination of phentolamine, propranolol, and atropine, these antagonists blocked neither the rise in ANP release nor the positive chronotropic and inotropic effects of CGRP. Therefore, we conclude that CGRP stimulates ANP release as well as cardiac contractility independently of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors. 相似文献

The aim of the investigation was to assess whether endogenous triacylglycerol contributes to the maintenance of the contractile and pacemaker activities of the isolated atria from fed and fasted rats. To attain this information, the atria were treated with methylpalmoxirate which is a potent inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I. In the presence of glucose, methylpalmoxirate abolished the lipolysis without affecting peak developed tension or the atrial rate. When exposed to a substrate-free medium containing 2-deoxyglucose, the atria displayed a progressive fall of the pacemaker frequency, a pronounced decay of contractile strength and the appearance of contracture. These derangements appeared faster in the atria from fed rats coinciding with a smaller triacylglycerol mobilization. Methylpalmoxirate suppressed triacylglycerol breakdown, increased the contracture strength, accelerated the fall of the atrial rate and in a significant number of fasted atria it led to a complete cessation of the spontaneous contractions. The decline of the peak tension was not altered by the inhibitor, probably because the contractile strength was too weak in the glucose-free medium, so that additional negative inotropic effects were not detectable. These data suggest that exogenous glucose in addition to that derived from glycogen meet the atrial energy requirements when the fatty acid oxidation is hindered. The deleterious effects exerted by methylpalmoxirate after the glucose metabolism was eliminated indicate that endogenous triacylglycerol supports, at least partly, the atrial functions. 相似文献

The changes in spontaneous rate of isolated rat atria in response to increased extracellular osmotic pressure were examined using sucrose, urea and several polyhydroxyalcohols (mannitol, glycerol and ethylene glycol) as test solutes. Sucrose, mannitol and urea induced a fall in atrial rate, which was transient with the last compound. On the other hand, media made hyperosomotic by addition of glycerol or ethylene glycol increased the beating frequency. Sucrose effect was not affected by low extracellular calcium, nifedipine or atropine. Glycerol-induced increase in atrial rate was a calcium-dependent mechanism sensitive to nifedipine. Thus, positive chronotropic effect occurs in the rat atria only with certain diffusible solutes which probably promote calcium entry. The response to pure osmotic change, resulting from changes in concentration of ions within the cell as water moves out, is a negative chronotropic effect. 相似文献

Modification of the contractile activity of isolated rat atria by lectin-activated T-lymphocyte subsets 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We had previously shown that human T-lymphocytes (ERFC) that had been activated for a short time with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) produced positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on spontaneously beating rat atria (Sterin-Borda, L., et al., Naunyn Scmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol. 324, 58, 1983). In this study, we first prepared T4-rich (T4) and T8-rich (T8) cells from ERFC by selective lysis with OKT4 and OKT8 monoclonal antibodies and rabbit complement. Then, we tested the effect of PHA-stimulated T4 (PHA-T4) and T8 (PHA-T8) on beating rat atria. PHA-T4 cells stimulated the tension and the frequency of contraction of isolated rat atria by a mechanism that involved the generation of the slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A), since both 10(-5) M nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and 10(-7) M FPL-55712 were effective inhibitors. On the other hand, PHA-T8 cells decreased the tension of beating atria. Indomethacin (10(-6) M) could not block the depressor effect. Cell-free PHA-T4 supernatants reacted with the heart tissue similarly to whole PHA-T4 cells. Since NDGA or FPL-55712 treated organs did not respond to active PHA-T4 supernatants, the lipoxygenase system of the auricles seems to be required for the reaction and the active metabolites appear to derive mainly from the heart. Our results suggest that PHA-activated "helper/inducer" cells release soluble factors that can in turn trigger the lipoxygenase metabolic pathway of arachidonic acid in the heart, generating the active leukotrienes responsible for the positive inotropic and chronotropic effects. 相似文献
