Hypoxia-induced release of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) from the isolated rat and rabbit heart 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The effect of hypoxia on the release of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was studied in isolated, constant-flow perfused hearts of rats and rabbits. Effluent samples were frozen pending extraction and radioimmunoassay of ANF. Hypoxia (10 min) caused a 3.9-fold (rats) and 4.6-fold (rabbits) increase of ANF release over control values. ANF release returned to control levels within 8-11 min of reoxygenation. Prolonged (20 min) hypoxia evoked further ANF release. The increase in ANF release and decrease in ventricular pressure, heart rate and coronary perfusion pressure were fully reversible, suggesting that tissues were not damaged. These results demonstrate that hypoxia induces a massive release of ANF by an as yet unexplained mechanism. 相似文献

Radioimmunoassay of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in rat atria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J Gutkowska G Thibault R W Milne P Januszewicz P W Schiller M Cantin J Genest 《Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (New York, N.Y.)》1984,176(2):105-108
We describe a solid phase radioimmunoassay for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and its application for measurement of this peptide in homogenates of rat atria. The method uses a synthetic 26 amino-acid fragment (8-33 ANF) of the native peptide. Sample (or standard) are incubated with the rabbit anti-8-33 ANF antiserum in peptide (8-33 ANF)-coated wells. Then an excess of I125 goat anti-rabbit IgG is added. The radioactivity bound is directly proportional to the amount of ANF present. The concentration of immunoreactive ANF has been found to be about 4 times higher in the right atrium than in the left atrium of the rat. 相似文献

Dopamine receptor antagonists inhibit the natriuretic response to atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The diuretic and natriuretic response of anesthetized rats to low doses of semi-purified atrial extracts or synthetic alpha-hANP was completely blocked by intravenous injection of 50 micrograms of haloperidol or chlorpromazine. Sulpiride or metoclopramide at the same doses did not show this effect. We conclude from these results that dopamine receptors, probably of the D1-type, are involved in the natriuretic effect of the atrial peptides. 相似文献

Presence of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)-like material was demonstrated by radioimmunoassay in ascitic fluid of 14 patients with cirrhosis of the liver. Immunoreactive ANF concentrations (M +/- SEM) were 2.4 +/- 0.5 fmol/ml in ascites, significantly lower (p less than 0.001) than the corresponding plasma concentrations of 15.5 +/- 2.6 fmol/ml. High performance gel permeation chromatography and reverse phase high performance chromatography of the ascitic ANF immunoreactivity showed correspondence to the alpha human ANF (99-126). ANF levels in ascites were significantly (p less than 0.01) correlated to levels in plasma (r = 0.66). 相似文献

Dissociation and enrichment of rat atrial myocytes containing atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Methodologies developed for the dissociation and subsequent enrichment of muscle and nonmuscle cells from atrial myocardium were used to evaluate the contribution of these cell populations to the natriuretic, diuretic and vasoactive properties of crude atrial tissue extracts. Suspensions of single cells, which contained approximately 34% myocytes, were prepared from atrial tissue blocks with a collagenase-trypsin digestion followed by gentle mechanical disruption. Differential centrifugation and unit gravity sedimentation techniques were employed to enrich the 'muscle' and 'nonmuscle' cell suspensions to a purity of approximately 91 and 95%, respectively. Cell extracts were bioassayed for natriuretic activity in saline-expanded, pentobarbital-anesthetized, female rats. Extracts obtained from 'initial' and 'muscle' cell suspensions significantly enhanced sodium and chloride excretion as well as urine flow while extracts from 'nonmuscle' cell suspensions had no effect on renal function. Sodium excretion was dose-dependent and increased linearly with increasing numbers of extracted and infused myocytes. This simple two-step centrifugation and sedimentation protocol can be utilized to obtain enriched atrial myocyte populations for subsequent physiologic and biochemical studies. 相似文献

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) release was studied in isolated perfused atria prepared from rats. When the vein-atrial junction (VAJ) was distended with an inflatable balloon, ANF release into the perfusate was greater in intact atria than in appendectomized atria. It was concluded that distention of the VAJ causes ANF release from the atrial appendage. A cascade experiment was then prepared whereby buffer from one isolated atrium perfused a second atrium. Although the VAJ of the first atrium could be distended by balloon, the atrial appendage was ligated so ANF was not secreted into the perfusate. The second atrium was intact, but no balloon was inserted. Despite the fact that there were no changes in intraluminal pressure, ANF secretion from the second atrium increased when the VAJ of the first atrium was distended. This response was blocked by the endothelin (ET) A receptor antagonist BQ-123. However, no distention-induced changes in ET-1 levels could be found in the perfusate from the first atrium. It is proposed that, in response to changes in distention of the VAJ, ANF is released remotely from the atrial appendage. The mediator does not appear to be ET-1 itself, but rather some factor that stimulates ET-1-induced ANF release within the tissue of the atrial appendage. 相似文献

We have isolated the Xenopus orthologue of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) gene. Characterization of embryonic expression indicates that the ANF gene is initially expressed throughout the developing myocardium at the late heart tube stage (about stage 32). This is in
contrast to all previously characterized Xenopus cardiac differentiation markers that are first expressed in the cardiogenic plate at approximately stage 27. ANF expression becomes restricted exclusively to the atrium at about stage 47, long after the commencement of beating and the
original formation of the atrial and ventricular compartments, but shortly after septation of the single atrium into two distinct
atria.

Several investigations have demonstrated the regional heterogeneity of myocardial phenotype, and hypertrophy may also induce regionally disparate changes. We have utilized the direct DNA injection technique to study regional variations in overload-induced ANF expression. Pressure overload was induced by stenosis of the ascending aorta in canines. ANF promoter reporters were injected into the left ventricle; in different regions including the base, the midwall region, and the apex. Injections were made at different depths to include the epicardial and endocardial layers. The animals were sacrificed 7 days following surgery and the left ventricle harvested for tissue analysis. Under normotensive conditions, ANF reporter expression was similar throughout the heart. PO increased ANF expression and the increases were greater in the endocardium than in the epicardium. PO also significantly increased expression in the midwall and base regions, but not in the apex. It is unknown from these experiments, whether the greater increases in midwall expression are a function of greater wall stress, metabolic demand, or phenotypic differences in the midwall myocytes. These findings do indicate that regional differences in overload-induced changes in gene expression are evident and may be functionally important in determining myocardial response to increased functional demand. 相似文献

Several analogs of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were synthesized by the solid-phase method using the acetamidomethyl (Acm) group for sulfhydryl protection. The compounds were tested in a receptor binding assay using bovine adrenal zona glomerulosa cell membranes and in the rat diuresis/natriuresis assay. Substitution of tyrosine in position 116 of ANF(101-126) and of the analog [3-Mpr105]ANF(105-126)(3-Mpr = 3-mercaptopropionic acid) did not alter the biological activity profiles and, therefore, these two analogs in radioiodinated form will be useful for enzymatic degradation and clearance studies. Replacement of 3-mercaptopropionic acid with 2-mercaptopropionic acid in [3-Mpr105]ANF(105-126) resulted in an analog with very low potency in both assay systems, presumably as a consequence of the steric bulk and/or local conformational restriction produced by the methyl group attached to the alpha-carbon in position 105. The analog [3-Mpr105,Nva109]ANF(105-126)(Nva = norvaline) showed very low affinity in the receptor binding assay but displayed considerable diuretic/natriuretic activity. The obtained biological activity profiles suggest that in comparison with other ANF peptides the des-amino ANF(105-126) analogs may have a somewhat longer half-life in vivo, or alternatively, may indicate a more complex situation of ANF receptor or binding site heterogeneity. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to measure the effects of an increase in negative intrathoracic pressure on the release of ANF. With the subjects seated comfortably, 3 control blood samples were obtained over 30 minutes. Eight subjects then breathed for 30 min. through an inspiratory resistance in such a way that maximal inspiratory pleural pressures were between -30 to -40 cmH2O. Three blood samples were withdrawn after 20, 25, and 30 min., with the subject still breathing against the artificial resistance. Plasma concentrations of ANF were analysed by RIA. They measured: control value 24.6 +/- 3.7 pg ANF/mL (X +/- SE); with resistance 37.1 +/- 8.1 pg/mL (p less than or equal to .05). These results suggest that ANF could be released during an asthma attack. 相似文献

Localization and identification of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in the frog ventricle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The localization of ANF-like immunoreactivity in the ventricle of the frog Rana ridibunda was examined by the indirect immunofluorescence and the immunogold techniques, using an antiserum against synthetic ANF (Arg 101-Tyr 126). At the optic level, an appreciable number of positive cardiocytes was observed in the frog ventricle. Electron microscopic studies showed that all secretory granules present in ventricular cardiocytes contain immunoreactive ANF. The immunoreactive material has been characterized by Sephadex G-50 gel chromatography and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). After gel filtration, ANF-like immunoreactivity eluted in 3 peaks. The major immunoreactive peak corresponded to high molecular weight material, while one peak co-eluted with synthetic ANF (Arg 101-Tyr 126). Further analysis of frog ventricular extracts by RP-HPLC revealed that the low molecular weight material has the same retention time as synthetic ANF, suggesting a high degree of sequence homology between amphibian and mammalian ANF. These results indicate that in amphibians, ventricular cardiocytes synthesize a peptide immunologically and chemically related to mammalian ANF. 相似文献

Immunohistochemical localization of atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) in human atrial and ventricular myocardiocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To date, there have been few immunohistochemical investigations of atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) in human cardiac tissue, especially the ventricles. In this study, myocardial tissue was obtained from two sources: the bilateral atria and ventricles at autopsy; and biopsy tissues from the right auricle and left ventricle of a patient with myocardial infarction undergoing surgery. These tissues were examined by the avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase technique using three kinds of primary ANP-antibodies. ANP-immunoreactivity was observed in the perinuclear region of myocytes of all tissues examined. The intensity of the reaction was stronger in atrial tissue, weaker in ventricular tissue. In the later tissue, the positive-staining myocytes were not part of the pulse-conducting system. Although the tissues we studied were not obtained from normal hearts, our data demonstrates that ANP-reactivity can be detected in ventricular myocytes outside the pulse-conducting system. 相似文献

Localization and characterization of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)-like peptide in the frog atrium 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The distribution of ANF was studied in the heart of the frog (Rana ridibunda) using indirect immunofluorescence. ANF-like immunoreactivity was localized mainly in the right and left atrium, most of cardiocytes being intensively labelled. At the electron microscopic level, all secretory granules present in atrial cardiocytes contained ANF immunoreactive material. Using a specific radioimmunoassay, we found higher concentrations of ANF in the left atrium (208 +/- 25 ng/mg protein) than in the right atrium (120 +/- 16 ng/mg protein) whilst in the rat, the right atrium contains the highest ANF concentration. The concentration of ANF in the ventricle was 10 times lower than in the whole atrium (32 +/- 4 ng/mg protein). Sephadex G-50 gel filtration of atrial extracts showed that ANF-like immunoreactivity eluted in three peaks. Most of the immunoreactivity corresponded to high molecular weight material eluting at the void volume while 20% of the material co-eluted with synthetic (Arg 101-Tyr 126) ANF. These results indicate that frog cardiocytes synthetize a peptide which is immunologically and biochemically related to mammalian ANF. 相似文献

In the present studies atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was characterized immunocytochemically in the reproductive tract of immature female rats, and changes of ANF levels in response to different hormonal conditions were demonstrated. Administration of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) to immature animals has shown to be a useful method to synchronize growth, differentiation and atresia of ovarian follicles. ANF immunoreactivity was investigated in rat uterus and oviduct during follicular growth and estrogenic dominance (48 h after PMSG treatment) and during follicular atresia and progesterone dominance (96 h after PMSG treatment). Our immunocytochemical results showed that in rat uterus ANF was localized in endometrial mucosal and glandular epithelium and smooth muscle cells of the myometrium. In the oviduct ANF immunoreactivity was observed in mucosal cells and muscle layers. Immunocytochemical staining patterns and Western blot analysis revealed that ANF levels in rat uterus and oviduct are modulated by the hormonal status. ANF immunoreactivity was elevated during estrogenic dominance (48 h after PMSG) in uterus and oviduct. However, during progesterone dominance (96 h after PMSG) elevation of ANF immunoreactivity was observed in the uterus only. These results raise the possibility that ANF expression in rat oviduct is positively controlled by estrogen and negatively by progesterone. ANF staining in uterus during progesterone phase provides evidence that both estrogen and progesterone regulate ANF levels in uterus. The observed staining patterns indicate that ANF may have intracellular functions as well as a role in priming the extracellular environment. Accordingly, the possibility that ANF might be an important regulatory molecule for autocrine/paracrine communication within the female reproductive tract should be considered. 相似文献

We have investigated the localization of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)-like immunoreactivity in the central nervous system of the cartilaginous fish, Scyliorhinus canicula, using the indirect immunofluorescence technique. Immunoreactive perikarya and fibers were observed in two regions of the telencephalon, the area superficialis basalis and the area periventricularis ventrolateralis. In the diencephalon, the hypothalamus exhibited a moderate number of ANF-containing neurons and fibers located in the preoptic and periventricular nuclei and in the nucleus lateralis tuberis. The most important group of ANF-immunoreactive cells was observed in the nucleus tuberculi posterioris of the diencephalon. In contrast, the mesencephalon showed only a few ANF-positive nerve processes located in the tegmentum mesencephali. Numerous fine fibers and nerve terminals were found in the dorsal area of the neurointermediate lobe of the pituitary. These results provide the first evidence for the presence of ANF-related peptides in the brain of a cartilaginous fish. The widespread distribution of ANF-positive cells and fibers in the brain and pituitary suggests that this peptide may act both as a neurotransmitter and (or) a neurohormone in fish. 相似文献

Synthesis and biological activity of a linear fragment of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
P W Schiller L Maziak T M Nguyen J Godin R Garcia A De Léan M Cantin 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1985,131(3):1056-1062
A linear fragment of the atrial natriuretic factor, ANF(106-125), unable to form an intramolecular cystine bridge, was synthesized by the solid-phase method. The fragment showed smooth muscle relaxant activity in the rabbit aorta and chick rectum assays, an inhibitory effect on aldosterone secretion from bovine adrenal zona glomerulosa cells, and had affinity for specific ANF receptors located in zona glomerulosa cell membranes. The potency of ANF(106-125) in these four assay systems was about two to three orders of magnitude lower than that of ANF(103-125) which contains the intact cyclic structure. The obtained results indicate that the disulfide linkage stabilizes the bioactive conformation of ANF peptides but is not an absolute requirement for biological activity. 相似文献

Degradation and clearance of atrial natriuretic factors (ANF) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Atrial natriuretic factor, the first well defined natriuretic hormone is synthesized in the human heart as 151 aminoacid (AA) preprohormone and stored as 126 AA prohormone in atrial granules. Upon appropriate stimulation, the prohormone is cleaved into a 98 AA N-terminal fragment and a 28 AA C-terminal fragment, the biological active ANF(99-126), both circulating in plasma. Circulating ANF(99-126) is cleared by various organs, such as lung, liver and intestine, kidney and upper and lower limbs. Reported arterial-venous extraction ratios vary greatly, but are not much different between organs, the average extraction ratio being about 35%. Due to marked differences of organ blood flow, the contribution of various organs to total body ANF clearance differs considerably. Major mechanisms for ANF clearance are uptake by clearance receptors and degradation by an endoprotease (EC 3.4.24.11.). Clearance receptors, distinct from the receptors mediating the biological actions of ANF, have been demonstrated in various organs. Characterization of the ANF degrading enzyme activity has been performed in kidney tissue. Whether and how pathophysiological states affect ANF clearance is still poorly understood. Inhibition of clearance by ANF analogues binding to clearance receptors and by inhibitors of degrading peptidase can increase the biological action of circulating ANF. This may prove to be a therapeutic approach in diseases with smooth muscle contraction or volume overload. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated the presence of ANF(99-126), and ANF(99-126) cleaved between Cys105 and Phe106 (cleaved ANF), in human coronary sinus plasma. We now report that cleaved ANF is formed when synthetic ANF(99-126) is added to human plasma. When synthetic ANF(99-126) was incubated in heparinized human plasma, HPLC analysis showed two degradation products. The main product was shown by amino acid and sequence analysis to be cleaved ANF. Degradation of ANF was inhibited by EDTA and phosphoramidon. These findings are consistent with the action of endopeptidase EC 3.4.24.11, which may play an important part in the biological inactivation of ANF. 相似文献
