Research on the physiological role of atrial peptides in man is limited, and the potential for these peptides, or more stable analogues, in therapeutics is uncertain. It is clear, however, that plasma levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (IR-ANP) are increased in volunteers taking a high sodium diet, and are elevated in patients with heart failure, chronic renal failure, and primary aldosteronism. There is suggestive evidence that IR-ANP levels are increased also in essential hypertension, although overlap with normotensives is considerable. Injection or infusion of atrial peptides into man results in a diuresis, an increased output of urine electrolytes, a fall in blood pressure and a rise in heart rate, suppression of aldosterone and sometimes of renin also, and stimulation of norepinephrine. In essential hypertensives, urinary effects may be greater than in normotensives. Heart failure patients show a rise in cardiac output and falls in both systemic and pulmonary arterial pressure. Over the next few years and especially if specific antagonists can be developed, the physiologic and pathophysiologic roles of atrial peptides in normal man and in clinical disorders should be clarified. It is possible that stable analogues of atrial peptides will find a place in the treatment of cardiac failure, renal failure, and perhaps hypertension.  相似文献

The present investigation was designed to determine if the atrial natriuretic peptide hormonal system is present within single cell organisms. Paramecium multimicronucleatum were examined with 3 sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays which recognize the N-terminus [amino acids 1-98; proANF(1-98)], the midportion of the N-terminus [amino acids 31-67; proANF(31-67)] and C-terminus (amino acids 99-126; ANF) of the 126 amino acid atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) prohormone. ProANF(1-98), proANF(31-67), and ANF-like peptides were all present within these unicellular organisms at concentrations of 460 +/- 19 pg/ml, 420 +/- 15 pg/ml, and 14.5 +/- 2 pg/ml, respectively. These concentrations are similar to their respective concentrations in the plasma of the rat (Rattus norvegicus). These results suggest that even single cell organisms contain the atrial natriuretic peptide-like hormonal system.  相似文献

Atrial natriuretic peptides stimulate renal gluconeogenesis   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Atrial natriuretic peptide (5-28AA; ANP) and atrial extract (ANS) stimulated rat renal gluconeogenesis in cortical tubule suspension in a dose dependent fashion only from substrates that enter gluconeogenesis via phosphoenol-pyruvate carboxylase. The effects of ANP and ANS were significantly potentiated by cAMP and cGMP, whereas methoxamine showed no effect. Extracellular calcium revealed a key role for ANP and ANS response to gluconeogenesis: a concentration of calcium higher than 1 mM was essential. Isolated cells from cortex which lost cell membrane polarity by warming but responded solely to cAMP and cGMP showed no effect by ANP nor ANS. These data suggest that ANP or ANS may act mainly from the basolateral site in the proximal tubule cell and promote gluconeogenesis through cAMP and/or cGMP system.  相似文献

The dose-related natriuretic and depressor responses to atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) 99-126, 103-126 and 103-123 were determined in unanesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and were compared to the activities of their Cys105-Phe106 ring-opened metabolites. These metabolites were previously identified as the major initial products formed by incubation of the intact peptides with neutral endopeptidase (NEP). The areas over the curves (AOC) of the depressor responses to the intact peptides were dose-related and, at 30 nmole/kg, iv were greatest for ANP 99-126 and 103-126 (833 +/- 241 and 1157 +/- 221 mm Hg x min). Thirty nmole/kg of ANP 103-123, a possible product of NEP cleavage of ANP 103-126, produced a lesser AOC (442 +/- 152 mm Hg x min) than did either of the longer peptides. The AOC responses to 100 nmole/kg of the ring-opened metabolites of ANP 99-126, 103-126 and 103-123 (105 +/- 80, 153 +/- 43 and 148 +/- 64 mm Hg x min) were not significantly different from the effect of vehicle treatment (84 +/- 23 mm Hg x min). Although the natriuretic responses to increasing doses of the intact peptides did not occur in a linear fashion, sodium excretion was maximally elevated by 24 +/- 4, 16 +/- 3 and 10 +/- 3 microEq/kg/min by 3 nmole/kg of ANP 99-126, 30 nmole/kg of ANP 103-126 and 10 nmole/kg of ANP 103-123, respectively. In contrast, the natriuretic responses to 100 nmole/kg of the ring-opened metabolites of ANP 99-126, 103-126 and 103-123 (1 +/- 0, 5 +/- 2 and 2 +/- 1 microEq/kg/min, respectively) were not significantly different from the response to vehicle treatment (3 +/- 1 microEq/kg/min). In conclusion, three ring-opened products of NEP cleavage of ANP 99-126, 103-126 and 103-123 were inactive in conscious SHR.  相似文献

Atrial natriuretic factor is a circulating hormone   总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16  
The radioimmunoassay of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) has been applied for determination of immunoreactive ANF (IR-ANF) in rat plasma. Immunoreactive ANF has been extracted from rat plasma by immunoaffinity column on Sepharose-4B anti-ANF or by Vycor glass. The mean concentrations of IR-ANF in ether anesthetized rats were found to be 1.61 +/- 0.14 ng/ml in female and 1.25 +/- 0.21 ng/ml in male rats when extracted on Sepharose-4B anti-ANF, and 1.21 +/- 0.10 ng/ml in females and 1.02 +/- 0.11 ng/ml in males when extracted by Vycor glass. A close linear correlation has been observed between the plasma IR-ANF concentrations in aorta and jugular vein. The described results indicate that atrial cardiocytes secrete atrial natriuretic factor into plasma. The heart is, therefore, an endocrine organ.  相似文献

Ozone can cause pulmonary edema and simultaneously decrease blood pressure. Atrial natriuretic peptides may mediate both of these effects in that they increase pulmonary capillary permeability resulting in edema formation and are potent vasodilating peptides. To examine this possibility, the lungs of Fischer 344 rats were exposed to ozone (0.5 ppm) for 8 hours which resulted in a three- to fourfold increase in atrial natriuretic peptides. Ozone also increased atrial natriuretic peptides in the heart two- to fivefold from 266 ± 25, 226 ± 22, and 288 ± 40 ng/g (room air) to 716 ± 26, 471 ± 14, and 1473 ± 235 ng/g recognized by the proANFs 1–30 and 31–67 and atrial natriuretic factor radioimmunoassays, respectively. Ozone also doubled the concentrations of proANFs 1–30, 31–67, and 1–98 and ANF in the circulation. This study demonstrates that ozone increases atrial natriuretic peptides within the heart, lung, and circulation, suggesting that atrial natriuretic peptides may mediate the decreased blood pressure and pulmonary edema observed with ozone exposure. Since the proANF 31–67 radioimmunoassay exclusively recognizes the ANF prohormone within the heart, this study further indicates that ozone can increase the synthesis of the ANF prohormone.  相似文献

Human prohormone atrial natriuretic peptides 1-30, 31-67, and 79-98 caused vasodilation of porcine aortas which began in 30 seconds and was maximal at 10 minutes. These three peptides were found to be equally potent to atrial natriuretic factor in their vasodilatory activity which was found with or without endothelium present. This vasodilation was associated with a 4 to 5 fold increase in cyclic GMP in the aorta secondary to activation of particulate guanylate cyclase [E.C. 4.6.12]. These data demonstrate that three N-terminal peptide segments of the atrial natriuretic factor prohormone cause vasodilation.  相似文献

Atrial natriuretic factor in essential hypertension   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
We measured circulating levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in 10 patients with untreated, uncomplicated mild to moderate essential hypertension and in 15 normotensive controls. ANF concentrations were significantly higher in the hypertensive group than in the control group (38.4 +/- 6.9 pg/ml versus 18.3 +/- 1.8 pg/ml, p less than 0.02). A positive correlation between ANF levels and systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure was noted in the total study population (p less than 0.008, r = 0.52; p less than 0.005, r = 0.55; p less than 0.02, r = 0.46, respectively). Thus, plasma ANF concentrations are elevated in essential hypertension and may result from increased intraarterial pressure.  相似文献

In normal pregnancy, cross-sectional clinical data do not consistently show plasma ANF concentration differences between early pregnancy and the nonpregnant state. Sequential data in the baboon (but not in rat) show a significant decrease in plasma ANF concentration and in cardiac filling pressures in early pregnancy. The latter data support the view that pregnancy is an underfill state secondary to a primary vasodilatation. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies in normal pregnancy in humans show that plasma ANF levels tend rise to values that are, in the third trimester, higher than in the nonpregnant state. However, late postpartum sequential data (1.5-3 months) in humans do now show a significant drop in plasma ANF concentrations, suggesting that plasma ANF is not actually increased in normal pregnancy. In the baboon (but not in the rat) there is a steady rise in plasma ANF levels to values that are significantly higher in third trimester than before pregnancy. These data suggest that in human pregnancy, in contrast with the baboon, the plasma volume expansion induced by normal pregnancy is not sensed as such by the atria probably because of an isopressive adaptation of plasma volume to an enlarged vascular bed. However, acute decrease or increase of venous return induced by low sodium diet, changing position or infusion of isotonic saline are sensed as such by the atria in normal pregnancy as in the nonpregnant state.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Atrial natriuretic peptides: receptors and second messengers   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Atrial natriuretic peptides appear to elicit their actions in some target tissues by binding to a novel cell-surface transmembrane protein which possesses both peptide binding and guanylate cyclase activities. Ligand binding stimulates enzyme activity to produce increased intracellular concentrations of cyclic GMP which, in turn, mediates the cell's physiological response.  相似文献

Heart atrial muscle cells in mammals are differentiated for a contractile as well as a secretory function. Through the latter, the heart plays an endocrine role; it synthesizes, stores, and releases a group of peptides collectively referred to as atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). ANF has natriuretic and hypotensive properties as well as an inhibitory effect on aldosterone and renin secretion. Thus ANF intervenes in the short- and long-term regulation of water and electrolyte balance and blood pressure. It is expected that further research in this new field will provide fresh insights into the pathophysiology of several important clinical entities and in the development of new pharmaceutical products.  相似文献

Cardiac overload is associated with an overexpression of the atrial natriuretic-factor (ANF) gene in experimental models and in man. Sites of ANF gene overexpression are the atria but also the ventricular myocardium. This recruitment phenomenon of the ventricle to synthesise and secrete ANF is directly dependent on the increase in stress-stretch relationship in each cardiocyte. Therefore, the levels of plasma ANF and its second messenger, cyclic glycophosphate mutase in plasma and urine appear as markers of congestive heart failure in animal models and in man. Particularly, plasma ANF has been recognized recently as independent prognostic factor in congestive heart failure.  相似文献

The effects on guanylate cyclase and cyclic GMP accumulation of a synthetic peptide containing the amino acid sequence and biological activity of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were studied. ANF activated particulate guanylate cyclase in a concentration- and time- dependent fashion in crude membranes obtained from homogenates of rat kidney. Activation of particulate guanylate cyclase by ANF was also observed in particulate fractions from homogenates of rat aorta, testes, intestine, lung, and liver, but not from heart or brain. Soluble guanylate cyclase obtained from these tissues was not activated by ANF. Trypsin treatment of ANF prevented the activation of guanylate cyclase, while heat treatment had no effect. Accumulation of cyclic GMP in kidney minces and aorta was stimulated by ANF activation of guanylate cyclase. These data suggest a role for particulate guanylate cyclase in the molecular mechanisms underlying the physiological effects of ANF such as vascular relaxation, natriuresis, and diuresis.  相似文献

New analogues of atrial peptides of rat were synthesized by classical methods of peptide chemistry in solution. They contain a D-amino acid residue in the C-terminal part and a residue of mercaptopropionic acid in the N-terminal part of the molecule. Biological activity of the new analogues was studied.  相似文献
