Cyclic nucleotide concentrations and guanylate cyclase activity were measured in regenerating rat liver. Previous work has shown that in livers of partially hepatectomized rats the activity of a membrane-bound guanylate cyclase increases considerably during the early replicative phase [Kimura & Murad (1975) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.72, 1965-1969; Goridis & Reutter (1975) Nature (London) 257, 698-700]. Over the same time period after partial hepatectomy, increased tissue concentrations of cyclic GMP were found when the rats were killed under pentobarbital anaesthesia, but not when anaesthesia was omitted. The results obtained on hepatectomized livers were compared with the changes in guanylate cyclase activity and cyclic nucleotide concentrations during the response to galactosamine treatment. Here, a peak of guanylate cyclase activity and of cyclic GMP concentrations occurred at 8h, that is before the beginning of the proliferative response. Both parameters were normal at the time of increased DNA synthesis. There does not, therefore, seem to be a consistent correlation between changes in guanylate cyclase activity or concentrations of cyclic GMP and an increase in liver DNA synthesis. A modest rise in cyclic AMP concentrations was found, however, in livers of galactosamine-treated rats, which was coincident with the time of DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Atrial natriuretic factor selectively activates particulate guanylate cyclase and elevates cyclic GMP in rat tissues 总被引:34,自引:0,他引:34
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

The hormonal responsiveness of plasma membrane-bound enzymes (Na-+-K-+)-ATPase and adenylate cyclase has been investigated in normal and regenerating rat liver. (Na-+-K-+)-ATPase basal activity is not affected by surgery and only slightly affected by partial hepatectomy; its response to epinephrine and cyclic AMP is decreased only 15 h after hepatectomy. Adenylate cyclase activity of plasma membranes from untreated animals is stimulated by parathyroid hormone and thyroxine; partial hepatectomy increased basal activity as well as the stimulation exerted by the aforementioned hormones, when glucagon and epinephrine sensitivity is essentially unaltered. 相似文献

Twelve hyperglycemic, glycosuric, and ketonuric Djungarian hamsters with average blood glucose concentrations of 295+-32 mg/dl were compared to twelve non-glycosuric, but ketonuric Djungarian hamsters with average blood glucose concentrations of 88+-11 mg/dl with regards to their cyclic nucleotide metabolism. The glycosuric Djungarian hamsters had decreased guanylate cyclase (E.C.4.6.1.2.) activity in vitro and cyclic GMP levels in vivo in liver, lung, kidney, colon, heart, spleen, and pancreas that was approximately 50% of the guanylate cyclase activity in these same tissues of non-glycosuric Djungarian hamsters. The decreased tissue guanylate cyclase activity and cyclic GMP levels in the glycosuric animals could be restored to the level of non-glycosuric Djungarian hamsters with 100 U regular insulin, but not with 50 or 10 U of regular insulin. Fifty and 100 U of regular insulin also increased the level of guanylate cyclase activity in the non-glycosuric (control) animals. There was no change in adenylate cyclase (E.C.4.6.1.1.) activity but there were increased cyclic AMP levels in the glycosuric when compared to the non-glycosuric Djungarian hamsters that were correctable with 100 U of insulin. We conclude that guanylate cyclase activity is decreased in the peripheral tissues of glycosuric Djungarian hamsters as compared to non-glycosuric Djungarian hamsters and that insulin modulates this enzyme. 相似文献

Purification of soluble guanylate cyclase activity from rat liver resulted in loss of enzyme responsiveness to N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), nitroprusside, nitrite, and NO. Responses were restored by addition of heat-treated hepatic supernatant fraction, implying a requirement for heat-stable soluble factor(s) in the optimal expression of the actions of the activators. Addition of free hematin, hemoglobin, methemoglobin, active or heat-inactivated catalase partially restores responsiveness of purified guanylate cyclase to MNNG, NO, nitrite, and nitroprusside. These responses were markedly potentiated by the presence of an appropriate concentration of reducing agent (dithiothreitol, ascorbate, cysteine, or glutathione), which maintains heme iron in the ferro form and favors formation of paramagnetic nitrosyl . heme complexes from the activators. High concentrations of heme or reducing agents were inhibitory, and heme was not required for the expression of the stimulatory effects of Mn2+ or Mg2+ on purified guanylate cyclase. Preformed nitrosyl hemoglobin (10 micron) increased activity of the purified enzyme 10- to 20-fold over basal with Mn2+ as the metal cofactor and 90- to 100-fold with Mg2+. Purified guanylate cyclase was more sensitive to preformed NO-hemoglobin (minimally effective concentration, 0.1 micron) than to MNNG (1 micron), nitroprusside (50 micron), or nitrite (1 mM). A reducing agent was not required for optimal stimulation of guanylate cyclase by NO-hemoglobin. Maximal NO-hemoglobin-responsive guanylate cyclase was not further increased by subsequent addition of NO, MNNG, nitrite, or nitroprusside. Activation by each agent resulted in analogous alterations in the Mn2+ and Mg2+ requirements of enzyme activity, and responses were inhibited by the thiol-blocking agents N-ethylmaleimide, arsenite, or iodoacetamide. The results suggest that NO-hemoglobin, MNNG, NO, nitrite, and nitroprusside activate guanylate cyclase through similar mechanisms. The stimulatory effects of preformed NO-hemoglobin combined with the clear requirements for heme plus a reducing agent in the optimal expression of the actions of MNNG, NO, and related agents are consistent with a role for the paramagnetic nitrosyl . heme complex in the activation of guanylate cyclase. 相似文献

To investigate the role of guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in cultured cells we have measured guanylate cyclase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activities and cyclic GMP levels in normal and transformed fibroblastic cells. Guanylate cyclase activity is found almost exclusively in the particulate fraction of normal rat kidney (NRK) and BALB 3T3 cells. Enzyme activity is stimulated 3- to 10-fold by treatment with the detergent Lubrol PX. However, enhancement of guanylate cyclase by fibroblast growth factor could not be demonstrated under a variety of assay conditions. In both NRK and BALB 3T3 cells guanylate cyclase activity is low during logarithmic growth and increases as the cells crowd together and growth slows. Guanylate cyclase activity is undetectable in homogenates of NRK cells transformed by the Kirsten sarcoma virus (KNRK cells) either in the presence or absence of Lubrol PX. Guanylate cyclase activity is also greatly decreased in NRK cells transformed by Moloney, Schmidt-Ruppin, or Harvey viruses. BALB 3T3 cells transformed by RNA viruses (Kirsten, Harvey, or Moloney), by a DNA virus (SV40), by methylcholanthrene, or spontaneously, all have diminished but readily detectable guanylate cyclase activity. Cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activity is found predominately in the soluble fraction of NRK cells. This activity increases slightly as NRK cells enter the stationary growth phase. Cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activity is undetectable in two clones of KNRK cells under a variety of assay conditions, and is decreased relative to the level present in NRK cells in a third KNRK clone. However, both Moloney- and Schmidt-Ruppin-transformed NRK cells have a phosphodiesterase activity similar to that found in NRK cells. Boiled supernatant from both NRK and KNRK cells is observed to appreciably enhance the activity of activator-deficient phosphodiesterase from bovine heart. This result indicates that the absence of cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activity in KNRK cells is not due to a loss of the phosphodiesterase activator. The intracellular concentration of cyclic GMP is found to be very low in transformed NRK cells when compared to levels measured in confluent NRK cells. The low levels of cyclic GMP in transformed NRK cells reflect the greatly decreased guanylate cyclase activity observed in these cells. These results do not appear to support the suggestion that cyclic GMP promotes the growth of fibroblastic cells. 相似文献

Sperm from several invertebrates contained guanylate cyclase activity several-hundred-fold greater than that in the most active mammalian tissues; the enzyme was totally particulate. Activity in the presence of Mn2+ was up to several hundred-fold greater than with Mg2+ and was increased 3–10-fold by Triton X-100. Sperm from several vertebrates did not contain detectable guanylate cyclase. Sperm of both invertebrates and vertebrates contained roughly equal amounts of Mn2+-dependent adenylate cyclase activity; in invertebrate sperm, this enzyme was generally several hundred-fold less active than guanylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase was particulate, was unaffected by fluoride, and was generally greater than 10-fold more active with Mn2+ than with Mg2+. Invertebrate sperm contained phosphodiesterase activities against 1.0 μm cyclic GMP or cyclic AMP in amounts greater than mammalian tissues. Fish sperm, which did not contain guanylate cyclase, had high phosphodiesterase activity with cyclic AMP as substrate but hydrolyzed cyclic GMP at a barely detectable rate. In sea urchin sperm, phosphodiesterase activity against cyclic GMP was largely particulate and was strongly inhibited by 1.0% Triton X-100. In contrast, activity against cyclic AMP was largely soluble and was weakly inhibited by Triton. The cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP contents of sea urchin sperm were in the range of 0.1–1 nmol/g. Sea urchin sperm homogenates possessed protein kinase activity when histone was used as substrate; activities were more sensitive to stimulation by cyclic AMP than by cyclic GMP.5 相似文献

We used cultured rat lung fibroblasts to evaluate the role of particulate and soluble guanylate cyclase in the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)-induced stimulation of cyclic GMP. ANF receptors were identified by binding of 125I-ANF to confluent cells at 37 degrees C. Specific ANF binding was rapid and saturable with increasing concentrations of ANF. The equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) was 0.66 +/- 0.077 nM and the Bmax. was 216 +/- 33 fmol bound/10(6) cells, which corresponds to 130,000 +/- 20,000 sites/cell. The molecular characteristics of ANF binding sites were examined by affinity cross-linking of 125I-ANF to intact cells with disuccinimidyl suberate. ANF specifically labelled two sites with molecular sizes of 66 and 130 kDa, which we have identified in other cultured cells. ANF and sodium nitroprusside produced a time- and concentration-dependent increase in intracellular cyclic GMP. An increase in cyclic GMP by ANF was detected at 1 nM, and at 100 nM an approx. 100-fold increase in cyclic GMP was observed. Nitroprusside stimulated cyclic GMP at 10 nM and at 1 mM a 500-600-fold increase in cyclic GMP occurred. The simultaneous addition of 100 nM-ANF and 10 microM-nitroprusside to cells resulted in cyclic GMP levels that were additive. ANF increased the activity of particulate guanylate cyclase by about 10-fold, but had no effect on soluble guanylate cyclase. In contrast, nitroprusside did not alter the activity of particulate guanylate cyclase, but increased the activity of soluble guanylate cyclase by 17-fold. These results demonstrate that rat lung fibroblasts contain ANF receptors and suggest that the ANF-induced stimulation of cyclic GMP is mediated entirely by particulate guanylate cyclase. 相似文献

Some enteric strains of Escherichia coli release a heat-stable enterotoxin which, in contrast to cholera and heat-labile E. coli enterotoxins, stimulates guanylate cyclase (GTP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.2). We have exmined the tissue specificity of its action and the relation of its action to those of the 8-bromo analogues of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP. Heat-stable enterotoxin stimulated guanylate cyclase activity and increased cyclic GMP oncentration throughout the small and large intestine. It increased transepithelial electric potential difference and short-circuit current in the jejunum, ileum and caecum but not in the duodenum or distal colon. This pattern of electrical responses was mimicked by 8-bromo-cyclic GMP. However, 8-bromo-cyclic AMP produced an electrical response in all intestinal segments. The enterotoxin failed to stimulate guanylate cyclase in liver, lung, pancreas or gastric antral mucosa. In the intestines, it stimulated only the particulate and not the soluble form of the enzyme. Preincubation of the toxin with intestinal membranes did not render it capable of stimulating pancreatic guanylate cyclase. Cytosol factors did not enhance the toxin's stimulation of intestinal guanylate cyclase. This study supports the role of cyclic GMP as intracellular mediator for heat-stable enterotoxin and suggests that the toxin affects a membrane-mediated mechanism for guanylate cyclase activation that is unique to the intestines. 相似文献

The 105 000 X g gupernatant fractions from homogenates of various rat tissues catalyzed the formation of both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP from GTP and ATP, respectively. Generally cyclic AMP formation with crude or purified preparations of soluble guanylate cyclase was only observed when enzyme activity was increased with sodium azide, sodium nitroprusside, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, sodium nitrite, nitric oxide gas, hydroxyl radical and sodium arachidonate. Sodium fluoride did not alter the formation of either cyclic nucleotide. After chromatography of supernatant preparations on Sephadex G-200 columns or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the formation of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP was catalyzed by similar fractions. These studies indicate that the properties of guanylate cyclase are altered with activation. Since the synthesis of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP reported in this study appears to be catalyzed by the same protein, one of the properties of activated guanylate cyclase is its ability to catalyze the formation of cyclic AMP from ATP. The properties of this newly described pathway for cyclic AMP formation are quite different from those previously described for adenylate cyclase preparations. The physiological significance of this pathway for cyclic AMP formation is not known. However, these studies suggest that the effects of some agents and processes to increase cyclic AMP accumulation in tissue could result from the activation of either adenylate cyclase or guanylate cyclase. 相似文献

Basal activity and hormonal responsiveness of the adenylate cyclase-adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate system were examined in premalignant liver from rats chronically fed the hepatic carcinogen DL-ethionine, and these data were correlated with endogenous levels of plasma glucagon. By 2 weeks basal hepatic cyclic AMP levels, determined in tissues quick-frozen in situ, were 2-fold higher in rats ingesting ethionine than in the pair-fed control. Enhanced tissue cyclic AM content was associated with an increase in the adenylate cyclase activity of whole homogenates of fresh liver from rats fed ethionine (68 +/- 5 pmol cyclic AMP/10 min per mg protein) compared to control (48 +/- 4). Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity ratios were also significantly higher (control, 0.38 +/- 0.04; ethionine 0.55 +/- 0.05) and the percent glycogen synthetase activity in the glucose 6-phosphate-independent form was markedly reduced (control, 52 +/- 7%; ethionine, 15 +/- 1.5%) in the livers of ethionine-fed rats compared to the controls, suggesting that the high total hepatic cyclic AMP which accompanied ethionine ingestion was bilogically effective. These changes persisted throughout the 38 weeks of drug ingestion. Immunoreactive glucagon levels, determined in portal venous plasma, were 8-fold higher than control after 2 weeks of the ethionine diet (control, 185 +/- 24 pg/ml; ethionine, 1532 +/- 195). Analogous to the changes in hepatic parameters, plasma glucagon levels remained elevated during the entire period of drug ingestion until the development of hepatomas. The hepatic cyclic AMP response to a maximal stimulatory dose of injected glucagon was blunted in vivo in ethionine-fed rats (control, 14 -fold increase over basal, to 8.63 +/- 1.1 pmol/mg wet weight; ethionine, 4.6-fold rise over basal, to 5.42 +/- 0.9). Reduced cyclic AMP responses to both maximal and submaximal glucagon stimulation were also evident in vitro in hepatic slices prepared from rats fed the drug, and the reduction was specific to glucagon. Absolute or relative hepatic cyclic AMP responses to maximally effective concentrations of protaglandin E1 or isoproterenol in hepatic slices from ethionine-fed rats were greater than or equal to those observed in control slices. Parallel alterations in hormonal responsiveness were observed in adenylate cyclase activity of whole homogenates of these livers, implying that the changes in cyclic AMP accumulation following hormone stimulation were related to an alteration in cyclic AMP generation in the premalignant tissue. In view of the recognized hepatic actions of glucagon and the desensitization of adenylate cyclase which can occur during sustained stimulation of the liver with this hormone, the endogenous hyperglucagonemia that accompanies ethionine ingestion could play a role in the pathogenesis of both the basal alterations in hepatic cyclic AMP metabolism and the reduced responsiveness to glucagon observed in liver from rats fed this carcinogen. 相似文献

Hepatic cyclic GMP formation is regulated by similar factors that modulate activation of purified hepatic soluble guanylate cyclase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The same factors that regulate the activation of purified hepatic soluble guanylate cyclase by diverse agents possessing distinct requirements for enzyme activation were found to modulate cyclic GMP formation in intact viable hepatic cells. A comparison was made between activation of heme-deficient or heme-reconstituted guanylate cyclase and stimulation of cyclic GMP formation in mouse hepatic slices that were 95% viable and showed no active efflux of cyclic GMP. Heme-dependent activators of guanylate cyclase elicited a greater -fold increase in hepatic cyclic GMP levels in slices from phenobarbital-pretreated than control mice. Brilliant cresyl blue and KCN inhibited both enzyme activation and hepatic cyclic GMP accumulation caused by agents that generate nitric oxide. Hepatic slices from 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine-treated mice, which are known to develop sharp increases in hepatic protoporphyrin IX/heme concentration ratios, showed elevated resting cyclic GMP levels whereas phenobarbital pretreatment produced decreased resting cyclic GMP levels compared to controls. Guanylate cyclase activation by azide required added catalase, and both enzyme activation and hepatic cyclic GMP formation were inhibited by aminotriazole. Enzyme activation by glyceryl trinitrate and NaNO2 required added thiols. Hepatic slices from acetaminophen-pretreated mice showed marked depletion of sulfhydryls and decreased cyclic GMP formation in response to these enzyme activators. Both effects were completely restored by treatment of thiol-depleted mice with N-acetylcysteine. These observations lend support to the general view that information gained from studies on the regulatory properties of purified soluble guanylate cyclase bears a close relationship to studies on regulatory mechanisms that modulate cyclic GMP formation in intact cells. 相似文献

Human prepro atrial natriuretic factors 26-55, 56-92, and 104-123 as well as human atrial natriuretic factor (4-28) in the present investigation increased renal cortical and medullary cyclic GMP levels and maximally enhanced particulate guanylate cyclase activity [E.C. 4.6.1.2] two-fold in whole kidney homogenates, renal cortical and medullary membranes, and in isolated distal nephrons at their 1 microM concentrations. Dose-response relationships revealed that the half maximal [ED50] activation of guanylate cyclase was at their 10 nM concentrations in rat, rabbit, and dog kidneys. Both human atrial natriuretic factor and the prepro factors decreased adenylate cyclase activity. These results suggest that prepro factors 26-55, 56-92, 104-123 may also be functionally active. 相似文献

Pyruvate increased cyclic GMP levels in rat hepatocytes. The effects were observed without or with 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine. Lactate, acetate, oxaloacetate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate also increased cyclic GMP levels. Some compounds increased cyclic GMP in kidney cortex slices. The effects were dependent upon Ca2+ in the medium. Cyclic AMP was increased 30-50% by some of these substances with 2.6 mM Ca2+. Rotenone, oligomycin, antimycin, dinitrophenol, KCN, and arsenate decreased GTP and ATP, basal cyclic GMP and the pyruvate effect, but did not alter cyclic AMP. Although fluoroacetate alone had no effect on cyclic nucleotides, GTP, or ATP, it potentiated the pyruvate effect on cyclic GMP. Adenosine and guanosine increased cyclic GMP and GTP to a similar extent of 30-50%. Aminooxyacetate, cycloserine, pentenoic acid and mepacrine decreased the pyruvate effect while cycloserine or mepacrine alone increased cyclic GMP. Citrate and mepacrine inhibited soluble and particulate guanylate cyclase from rat liver while cycloserine and acetoacetate increased guanylate cyclase activity. None of the other compounds altered guanylate cyclase activity. These results indicate that various metabolites and inhibitors can alter cyclic GMP accumulation in hepatocytes and renal cortex slices. Several mechanisms may be involved in these effects. 相似文献

Mode of action of heat-stable Escherichia coli enterotoxin. Tissue and subcellular specificities and role of cyclic GMP 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Some enteric strains of Escherichia coli release a heat-stable enterotoxin which, in contrast to cholera and heat-labile E. coli enterotoxins, stimulates guanylate cyclase (GTP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.2). We have examined the tissue spcificity of its action and the relation of its action to those of the 8-bromo analogues of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP. Heat-stable enterotoxin stimulated guanylate cyclase activity and increased cyclic GMP concentration throughout the small and large intestine. It increased transepithelial electric potential difference and short-circuit current in the jejunum, ileum and caecum but not in the duodenum or distal colon.

The role of NO . catalase in the activation of partially purified soluble guanylate cyclase of rat liver by NaN3 and NH2OH was examined by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Equilibration of bovine liver catalase with NO resulted in formation of a paramagnetic species exhibiting a three-line ESR spectrum similar to that of NO . catalase. This paramagnetic complex produced concentration-dependent stimulation of preparations of partially purified guanylate cyclase that were devoid of detectable endogenous heme content. The stimulation of partially purified guanylate cyclase by NO . catalase was similar to that obtained with NO . hemoglobin and with NO . cytochrome P-420 prepared by reaction of hepatic microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats with NO. By contrast, these same enzyme preparations did not respond to NO or catalase alone. Addition of hematin or hemoglobin plus a reducing agent to purified guanylate cyclase restored enzyme responsiveness to NO and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), but not to NaN3 or NH2OH. Responses to the latter agents were restored by catalase and potentiated by a H2O2-generating system. Formation of the NO . catalase complex was evident by ESR spectroscopy in test solutions containing NaN3 or nh2oh, catalase, and a glucose-glucose oxidase, H2O2-generating system. The presence of NO . catalase correlated well with the ability of test solutions to activate purified guanylate cyclase. These results provide evidence for catalase-dependent NO generation from NaN3 and NH2OH under conditions leading to guanylate cyclase activation. Preformed NO . hemoglobin or NO . cytochrome P-420 also activated heme-deficient partially purified guanylate cyclase. The ability of several preformed NO . heme protein complexes, but not NO, to stimulate heme-deficient guanylate cyclase supports the concept that formation of the paramagnetic nitrosyl . heme complex, mediated by either enzymatic or nonenzymatic reactions, is a common and essential step in the process by which NO or NO-forming compounds activate guanylate cyclase. In the absence of the NO ligand, both hemoglobin and catalase suppress the stimulatory effects of the corresponding NO . heme proteins on guanylate cyclase. Release of each heme protein from the NO . heme protein complex occurs more rapidly under aerobic compared to anaerobic conditions. However, hemoglobin is approximately 2000 times more effective as an inhibitor of NO . hemoglobin stimulation of guanylate cyclase than is catalase as an inhibitor of NO . catalase action. This finding may explain the more pronounced decline in the rate of cGMP generation in air in the presence of NO . hemoglobin compared to NO . catalase. The results imply that guanylate cyclase responses to activators that can form NO are determined by both the stimulatory activity of the endogenous heme acceptors of NO and the relative inhibitory effects of the unliganded heme proteins present. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms by which arachidonic acid activates guanylate cyclase from guinea pig lung. Guanylate cyclase activities in both homogenate and soluble fractions of lung were examined. Guanylate cyclase activity was determined by measuring formtion of [32-P] cyclic GMP from alpha-[32-P] GTP in the presence of Mn2+, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor and a suitable GTP regenerating system. Arachidonic acid, and to a slight extent dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, activated guanylate cyclase in homogenate but not soluble fractions. Similarly, phospholipase A2 activated homogenate but not soluble guanylate cyclase. Methyl arachidonate, linolenic, linoleic and oleic acids did not activate guanylate cyclase in either fraction. High concentrations of indomethacin, meclofenamate and aspirin inhibited activation of homogenate guanylate cyclase by arachidonic acid and phospholipase A2, without altering basal enzyme activity. These data suggested that a product of cyclooxygenase activity, present in the microsomal fraction, may have accounted for the capacity of arachidonic acid to activate homogenate guanylate cyclase. This view was supported by the findings that addition of the microsomal fraction to be soluble fraction enabled arachidonic acid to activate soluble guanylate cyclase, an effect which was reduced with cycloooxygenase inhibitors. Lipoxygenase activated guanylate cyclase in homogenate and soluble fractions. Arachidonic acid potentiated the activation of soluble guanylate cyclase by lipoxygenase, and this effect was inhibited with nordihydroguairetic acid, 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone and hydroquinone, but not with high concentrations of indomethacin, meclofenamate or aspirin. These data suggest that arachidonic acid activates guinea pig lung guanylate cyclase indirectly, via two independent mechanisms, one involving the microsomal fraction and the other involving lipoxygenase. 相似文献
