Plasma levels of ANP and BNP increase in accordance with the severity of the heart failure. In severe cases, the amount of BNP secreted surpasses that of ANP. The main secretion site of BNP is the ventricles, and that of ANP is the atria. However, ANP is also secreted from the ventricles as heart failure advances, and thus the ventricles are important sites for both BNP and ANP. It is well known that myocardial stretch is a key factor in the stimulation of the secretion of ANP and BNP, although neurohumoral factors also play a role in the secretion mechanism. The major physiological effects of ANP and BNP are vasodilation, natriuresis, and inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) and the sympathetic nervous systems; all of which are supposed to suppress the progression of heart failure. The inhibitory action of ANP and BNP on the RAA system has been considered to be an extra-cardiac effect. We recently reported the activation of an angiotensin-converting enzyme and aldosterone production in failing human hearts. ANP and BNP, however, would inhibit aldosterone production, not only in the adrenal cortex but also in cardiac tissue. ANP, and especially BNP, are useful markers of the heart's status during treatment for heart failure. The infusion of synthetic ANP (hANP) or BNP (Nesiritide) is effective in the treatment of acute heart failure. In Japan, BNP occupies an important position in the diagnosis of chronic heart failure, as ANP does in the treatment of acute heart failure.  相似文献

Summary Recently, we observed that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) immunoreactivity was present in Purkinje fibres and nerve fibre varicosities in the conduction system of the bovine heart. In order to elucidate further the morphological correlation between natriuretic peptides and the conduction system, the distribution of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was examined. The different parts of the conduction system in the bovine heart were dissected out and processed for immunohistochemistry with antisera against BNP and ANP. BNP immunoreactivity was frequently observed in Purkinje fibres of the atrioventricular bundle, whereas only a few Purkinje fibres in the ventricular part of the conduction system showed immunoreaction. BNP immunoreactivity was detected in regions of the Purkinje fibres which also showed ANP immunoreactivity. BNP immunoreactivity was not observed in nerve fibre varicosities. Methodologically, a larger number of small BNP immunofluorescent granular structures was observed by using an elution-restaining technique instead of conventional immunohistochemistry. The present study shows that BNP and ANP immunoreactivities frequently occur in the atrioventricular bundle and that they are co-localized in Purkinje fibres, but not in nerve fibre varicosities, in the conduction system. As previously has been proposed for ANP, the present observations suggest that also BNP may act in an autocrine and/or paracrine way in the conduction cells.  相似文献

Structural and functional evolution of three cardiac natriuretic peptides   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are a group of hormones playing important roles in cardiovascular and osmoregulatory systems in vertebrates. Among the NP subtypes, atrial NP (ANP), B-type NP (BNP), and ventricular NP (VNP) are circulating hormones expressed exclusively in the heart (cardiac NPs). The constitution of cardiac NPs is variable among species of vertebrates. In order to understand the evolutionary and functional significance of such variation, we performed a systematic survey of cardiac NP cDNAs in nine taxonomically diverse teleosts inhabiting environments of varying salinity. The discovery of the coexistence of the ANP, BNP, and VNP genes in the eel and rainbow trout suggested that the ancestral teleost had all three cardiac NPs. As the VNP cDNA was undetectable in ayu and six species of Neoteleostei, it is possible that VNP was lost before the divergence of Osmeroidei. The ANP gene was also undetectable in the medaka. Thus, only the BNP gene is universal in species examined in the present study. Synthetic medaka BNP preferentially activated two medaka GC-A-type receptors, suggesting that the three cardiac NPs share the same receptor. However, the regulation of BNP expression may be the most strict because ATTTA repeats in the 3'-untranslated region and the dibasic motif in the ring are conserved among teleosts and tetrapods. Linkage analyses in the rainbow trout located ANP, BNP, and VNP genes on the same chromosome, which suggested the generation of the VNP gene by tandem duplication as observed with ANP and BNP genes. If the duplication occurred before the divergence of tetrapods and teleosts, VNP may exist in the tetrapod lineage.  相似文献

In order to elucidate how brain natriuretic peptides (NPs) are affected by experimentally induced heart failure, we have measured the immunoreactive (IR) levels of the NP in extracts from 10 regions of ovine brain, including pituitary, and clarified their molecular forms using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Using species-specific radioimmunoassay (RIA), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) were all detected in extracts taken from control animals and sheep that had undergone rapid ventricular pacing for 7 days to induce heart failure. CNP was the most abundant NP as assessed by specific RIA, and the pituitary contained the highest IR levels for all three NP. Compared with control animals, the pituitary content of BNP in animals with heart failure was reduced by 40% (control, 0.26±0.02 pmol/g wet weight versus heart failure 0.16±0.01; P<0.01, n=7). No other significant changes were observed. The molecular forms of ANP and CNP in whole brain extracts as assessed by HPLC were proANP and CNP22, CNP53 and proCNP, respectively. BNP in pituitary extracts was assessed to be primarily proBNP with a minor component of mature BNP26.  相似文献

Atrial and B-type natriuretic peptide (ANP and BNP) are cardiac hormones synthesized and secreted by the myoendocrine cells of the heart. They exert potent actions on body fluid balance. Since various body organs including the heart are under high physiological stress during water and food deprivation in the desert nomads, we intended to perform molecular biological and histological studies of ANP in the heart of the dromedary camel Camelus dromedarius. Initially, we isolated cDNAs encoding ANP from the atrium and BNP from the atrium and ventricle of the dromedary camel. Putative mature ANP, deduced from the cDNA sequence, was identical to that of human and pig ANP, but the putative mature BNP was more diverse and was most similar to pig BNP (94% identity). Thus, we used antisera raised against human ANP that did not cross-react with pig BNP in the subsequent immunohistochemical studies. The ANP-expressing myoendocrine cells are most concentrated in the right atrium, to a lesser extent in the left atrium, and almost absent in the left ventricle. The immuno-positive cells are scattered uniformly in each region and are characterized by the presence of immunoreactive granular deposits around the nucleus. The left atrium comprises some ramifications of conductive cells (Purkinje fibers), some of which also contained ANP-immunoreactive granules. At the electron microscopic level, myoendocrine cells possessed secretory granules primarily in the perinuclear zone and a well-developed Golgi apparatus. The present study is the first comprehensive report dealing with the molecular cloning and immunohistochemical localization of ANP in the heart of a desert dwelling mammal.  相似文献

The present study determined cardiac chamber-specific alterations of the expression of the atrial and brain natriuretic peptide (ANP and BNP) genes with a small increase in age beyond adulthood and with systemic hypertension of intermediate duration. The expression distributions of these genes was determined using in situ hybridization in the right and left atria (RA and LA), and the right and left ventricles (RV and LV) in Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and age-matched Spontaneously Hypertensive rats (SHR) at ages 6 months (adult) and 8 months (advanced-age beyond adulthood).In all rat groups, both genes were expressed (ANP > BNP) in the LA and LV, and were not expressed in the RA and RV. The genes were expressed in the LA in all rat groups; the ANP, but not the BNP, expression increased with advancing age and with superimposed hypertension. They were expressed in the LV of the advanced-age WKY, adult and advanced-age SHR, but not in the adult WKY. The ANP mRNA labeling in the LA was diffuse and interspersed with dense accumulations, whereas BNP labeling was diffuse. The labeling of both genes in the form of sparse clusters was seen in the LV of the advanced-age SHR. Our study showed that ANP and BNP expression in left heart chambers increased with a small increase in age, with hypertension of intermediate duration, and with modest left ventricular hypertrophy. The chamber-specific expression distribution could be due to special groups of cardiac cells, or to local chamber-specific factors.  相似文献

The effects on myocardial function and loading conditions of clinically relevant doses of the natriuretic peptides (NP) have not been established. The actions of single doses (100 ng x kg(-1) x min(-1) iv over 30 min) of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) were studied in conscious normal dogs and in dogs with pacing-induced heart failure. All three NP reduced end-diastolic pressure in normal dogs, and ANP and BNP reduced end-diastolic volume. In heart failure ANP and BNP reduced EDP, and ANP reduced EDV. Arterial elastance was unchanged in normal dogs and in dogs with heart failure. ANP increased end-systolic elastance (E(es)) in normal dogs, whereas BNP tended to increase E(es) (P = 0.06). In dogs with heart failure, no inotropic effect was seen. In normal dogs, all NP reduced the time constant of isovolumic relaxation (tau), and ANP and BNP reduced tau in dogs with heart failure. Increases in plasma cGMP in dogs with heart failure were blunted. The NP reduced preload and enhanced systolic and diastolic function in normal dogs. Effects of ANP and BNP on preload and diastolic function were maintained in heart failure. Lack of negative inotropic effects in heart failure supports the validity of the NP as therapeutic agents.  相似文献

In order to elucidate biosynthesis and secretion of natriuretic peptides in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we measured the plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a novel cardiac hormone secreted from the ventricle, in patients with AMI and compared with that of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). The plasma level of BNP increased rapidly (within hours from the onset of AMI) and markedly (greater than 100 times the normal level) as compared to that of ANP. The plasma ANP level correlated with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), whereas the plasma BNP level did not correlate with PCWP but highly correlated inversely with cardiac index. These results indicate that BNP is secreted from the heart much more acutely and prominently than ANP in the early phase of AMI, in association with left ventricular dysfunction.  相似文献

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are cardiac hormones that are involved in water and electrolyte homeostasis in heart failure. Although both hormones exert almost identical biological actions, the differential regulation of cardiac ANP and BNP mRNA in compensated and overt heart failure is not known. To study the hypothesis that cardiac BNP is more specifically induced in overt heart failure, a large aortocaval shunt of 30 days duration was produced in rats and compared with compensated heart failure. Compensated heart failure was induced either by a small shunt of 30 days duration or by a large shunt of 3 days duration. Both heart failure models were characterized by increased cardiac weight, which was significantly higher in the large-shunt model, and central venous pressure. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was elevated only in the overt heart failure group (control: 5.7 +/- 0. 7; small shunt: 8.6 +/- 0.9; large shunt 3 days: 8.5 +/- 1.7; large shunt 30 days: 15.9 +/- 2.6 mmHg; P < 0.01). ANP and BNP plasma concentrations were elevated in both heart failure models. In compensated heart failure, ANP mRNA expression was induced in both ventricles. In contrast, ventricular BNP mRNA expression was not upregulated in any of the compensated heart failure models, whereas it increased in overt heart failure (left ventricle: 359 +/- 104% of control, P < 0.001; right ventricle: 237 +/- 33%, P < 0.01). A similar pattern of mRNA regulation was observed in the atria. These data indicate that, in contrast to ANP, cardiac BNP mRNA expression might be induced specifically in overt heart failure, pointing toward the possible role of BNP as a marker of the transition from compensated to overt heart failure.  相似文献

Two natriuretic peptides, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), are found principally in the heart. In preliminary experiments with mouse kidney cells or slices, we found mouse BNP1-45 much more potent than ANP1-28 in causing elevations of cGMP (>50-fold). The guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A) receptor has been suggested to represent the primary means by which both peptides signal. In cultured cells overexpressing GC-A, BNP and ANP were almost equivalent in potency, suggesting that a receptor unique for BNP exists in the kidney. However, in mice lacking the GC-A gene, neither BNP nor ANP significantly elevated cGMP in kidney slices. Phosphoramidon, a neutral endopeptidase inhibitor, shifted the apparent potency of ANP to values equivalent to that of BNP, suggesting these kidney cell/slices rapidly degrade ANP but not BNP. Mass spectroscopic analysis confirmed that ANP is rapidly cleaved at the first cysteine of the disulfide ring, whereas BNP is particularly stable to such cleavage. Other tissues (heart, aorta) failed to significantly degrade ANP or BNP, and therefore the kidney-specific degradation of ANP provides a mechanism for preferential regulation of kidney function by BNP independent of peripheral ANP concentration.  相似文献

Aims

Atrial natriuretic petide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) may reflect the severity of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). The exact nature and source of BNP, ANP and ET-1 expression and secretion following PE has not previously been studied.

Methods and Results

Polystyrene microparticles were injected to induce PE in rats. Gene expression of BNP, ANP and ET-1 were determined in the 4 cardiac chambers by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). Plasma levels of ANP, BNP, ET-1 and cardiac troponin I (TNI) were measured in plasma. PE dose-dependently increased gene expression of ANP and BNP in the right ventricle (RV) and increased gene expression of ANP in the right atrium (RA). In contrast PE dose-dependently decreased BNP gene expression in both the left ventricle (LV) and the left atrium (LA). Plasma levels of BNP, TNI and ET-1 levels dose-dependently increased with the degree of PE.

Conclusion

We found a close correlation between PE degree and gene-expression of ANP, and BNP in the cardiac chambers with a selective increase in the right chambers of the heart.The present data supports the idea of natriuretic peptides as valuable biomarkers of RVD in PE.  相似文献

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are cardiac hormones synthesized in and secreted from the heart. ANP and BNP bind the common receptor guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A) and possess biological actions. Based on their diuretic, natriuretic, and vasodilating activities, they are now widely used as therapeutic agents for heart failure. Roles of endogenous ANP and BNP have been investigated using mice lacking the gene encoding GC-A. Here we describe the recent understanding of roles of GC-A in the cardiovascular system.  相似文献

While regional plasma concentrations of the endocrine hormones atrial and brain natriuretic peptide (ANP and BNP) have been studied, there are few reports of regional changes in the largely paracrine C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and its amino terminal fragment NT-CNP. Accordingly, we have performed trans-organ arteriovenous sampling for measurement of plasma ANP, BNP, CNP and NT-CNP in anesthetized sheep before and after induction of experimental heart failure. ANP and BNP plasma concentrations are sourced from a single organ (the heart) and are subject to substantial extraction across most tissue beds. In contrast, our data demonstrate that multiple tissues including liver, heart, hind limb and kidney contribute to circulating CNP. Given that arteriovenous gradients for NT-CNP were similar, this is likely to represent de novo secretion. Circulating levels of CNP and NT-CNP were raised in heart failure but to a much lesser degree than ANP and BNP. There was no evidence of net extraction of CNP or NT-CNP across any tissue bed.  相似文献

Dolphins are aquatic animals free from gravity, and this may have imposed significant changes in their cardiovascular status and its hormonal regulation compared with terrestrial animals. This study molecularly characterized two major cardiovascular hormones, atrial and B-type natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) and measured their changes in dolphin plasma concentrations in relation to the cardiovascular status of the animal. We initially identified ANP and BNP in three species of dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens, Phocoenoides dalli and Tursiops truncatus). ANP precursors are highly conserved in most mammals, but dolphin BNP precursors were more variable. In molecular phylogenetic analyses, dolphin ANP and BNP precursors grouped with those of artiodactyls, particularly to the camel peptides. The chromatographic characterization of tissue and plasma molecular forms using specific radioimmunoassays showed that the predominant ANP and BNP in the atrium are prohormone and mature peptide, respectively, whereas mature ANP and BNP are circulating in the dolphin blood. A mass spectrometric analysis showed that atrial BNP consists of 26 amino acids, rather than the 32-amino-acid form detected in other mammals. Finally, changes in plasma ANP and BNP concentrations were examined in captive bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) after their pool was drained. Plasma ANP and BNP concentrations did not change after landing, unlike terrestrial mammals. Plasma angiotensin II and cortisol concentrations did not change either, showing minor stress after landing. Since landed dolphins show a different cardiovascular status on land than terrestrial mammals, plasma ANP and BNP concentrations seem to reflect the cardiovascular status characteristic of dolphins.  相似文献
