Abstract:The present study investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) release stimulated by angiotensin II (Ang II) (10(-7) M) in superfused sliced rat atrial tissue. The use of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) at 10(-4) M, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase did not modify basal ANP release. In presence of Ang II (10(-7) M), we observed that L-NAME enhanced ANP secretion induced by Ang II. Furthermore, cGMP levels increased significantly in the presence of Ang II and was attenuated by L-NAME. On the other hand, the perfusion of 8 bromo-cGMP (10(-5) M) with Ang II reduced the effect of this octapeptide on ANP secretion. Secondly, we evaluated the effect of authentic NO on ANP release and observed that perfusion of NO reduced significantly the effect of Ang II on ANP release. We propose that the effect of Ang II on ANP secretion was modulated by NO likely via cGMP pathway.
