Abstract
The natriuretic peptides (NPs) hormone family, which consists mainly of atrial, brain, and C-type NPs (ANP, BNP, and CNP), play diverse roles in mammalian species, ranging from renal, cardiac, endocrine, neural, and vascular hemodynamics to metabolic regulations, immune responsiveness, and energy distributions. Over the last four decades, new data has transpired regarding the biochemical and molecular compositions, signaling mechanisms, and physiological and pathophysiological functions of NPs and their receptors. NPs are incremented mainly in eliciting natriuretic, diuretic, endocrine, vasodilatory, and neurological activities, along with antiproliferative, antimitogenic, antiinflammatory, and antifibrotic responses. The main locus responsible in the biological and physiological regulatory actions of NPs (ANP and BNP) is the plasma membrane guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (GC-A/NPRA), a member of the growing multi-limbed GC family of receptors. Advances in this field have provided tremendous insights into the critical role of Npr1 (encoding GC-A/NPRA) in the reduction of fluid volume and blood pressure homeostasis, protection against renal and cardiac remodeling, and moderation and mediation of neurological disorders. The generation and use of genetically engineered animals, including gene-targeted (gene-knockout and gene-duplication) and transgenic mutant mouse models has revealed and clarified the varied roles and pleiotropic functions of GC-A/NPRA in vivo in intact animals. This review provides a chronological development of the biochemical, molecular, physiological, and pathophysiological functions of GC-A/NPRA, including signaling pathways, genomics, and gene regulation in both normal and disease states.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232113381.

Abstract
Cardiac hormones act on the regulation of blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular homeostasis. These hormones include atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP) and activate natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPRA), which enhance natriuresis, diuresis, and vasorelaxation. In this study, we established the ANP-dependent homologous downregulation of NPRA using human embryonic kidney-293 (HEK-293) cells expressing recombinant receptor and MA-10 cells harboring native endogenous NPRA. The prolonged pretreatment of cells with ANP caused a time- and dose-dependent decrease in 125I-ANP binding, Guanylyl cyclase (GC) activity of receptor, and intracellular accumulation of cGMP leading to downregulation of NPRA. Treatment with ANP (100 nM) for 12 h led to an 80% decrease in 125I-ANP binding to its receptor, and BNP decreased it by 62%. Neither 100 nM c-ANF (truncated ANF) nor C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) had any effect. ANP (100 nM) treatment also decreased GC activity by 68% and intracellular accumulation cGMP levels by 45%, while the NPRA antagonist A71915 (1 µM) almost completely blocked ANP-dependent downregulation of NPRA. Treatment with the protein kinase G (PKG) stimulator 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cGMP (CPT-cGMP) (1 µM) caused a significant increase in 125I-ANP binding, whereas the PKG inhibitor KT 5823 (1 µM) potentiated the effect of ANP on the downregulation of NPRA. The transfection of miR-128 significantly reduced NPRA protein levels by threefold compared to control cells. These results suggest that ligand-dependent mechanisms play important roles in the downregulation of NPRA in target cells.

Endocytosis and Trafficking of Natriuretic Peptide Receptor-A: Potential Role of Short Sequence Motifs. MEMBRANES 2015; 5:253-87.

Abstract
The targeted endocytosis and redistribution of transmembrane receptors among membrane-bound subcellular organelles are vital for their correct signaling and physiological functions. Membrane receptors committed for internalization and trafficking pathways are sorted into coated vesicles. Cardiac hormones, atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) bind to guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (GC-A/NPRA) and elicit the generation of intracellular second messenger cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP), which lowers blood pressure and incidence of heart failure. After ligand binding, the receptor is rapidly internalized, sequestrated, and redistributed into intracellular locations. Thus, NPRA is considered a dynamic cellular macromolecule that traverses different subcellular locations through its lifetime. The utilization of pharmacologic and molecular perturbants has helped in delineating the pathways of endocytosis, trafficking, down-regulation, and degradation of membrane receptors in intact cells. This review describes the investigation of the mechanisms of internalization, trafficking, and redistribution of NPRA compared with other cell surface receptors from the plasma membrane into the cell interior. The roles of different short-signal peptide sequence motifs in the internalization and trafficking of other membrane receptors have been briefly reviewed and their potential significance in the internalization and trafficking of NPRA is discussed.

Abstract
Thus far, three related natriuretic peptides (NPs) and three distinct sub-types of cognate NP receptors have been identified and characterized based on the specific ligand binding affinities, guanylyl cyclase activity, and generation of intracellular cGMP. Atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) specifically bind and activate guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (GC-A/NPRA), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) shows specificity to activate guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-B (GC-B/NPRB). All three NPs bind to natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPRC), which is also known as clearance or silent receptor. The NPRA is considered the principal biologically active receptor of NP family; however, the molecular signaling mechanisms of NP receptors are not well understood. The activation of NPRA and NPRB produces the intracellular second messenger cGMP, which serves as the major signaling molecule of all three NPs. The activation of NPRB in response to CNP also produces the intracellular cGMP; however, at lower magnitude than that of NPRA, which is activated by ANP and BNP. In addition to enhanced accumulation of intracellular cGMP in response to all three NPs, the levels of cAMP, Ca2+ and inositol triphosphate (IP3) have also been reported to be altered in different cells and tissue types. Interestingly, ANP has been found to lower the concentrations of cAMP, Ca2+, and IP3; however, NPRC has been proposed to increase the levels of these metabolic signaling molecules. The mechanistic studies of decreased and/or increased levels of cAMP, Ca2+, and IP3 in response to NPs and their receptors have not yet been clearly established. This review focuses on the signaling mechanisms of ANP/NPRA and their biological effects involving an increased level of intracellular accumulation of cGMP and a decreased level of cAMP, Ca2+, and IP3 in different cells and tissue systems.

Abstract
The receptor for the cardiac hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A), has been reported to be expressed in lung cancer, prostate cancer and ovarian cancer. NPR-A expression and signaling is important for tumor growth; its deficiency protects C57BL/6 mice from lung, skin and ovarian cancers. This suggests that NPR-A is a new marker and a new target for cancer therapy. Recently, NPR-A has been demonstrated to be expressed in pre-implantation embryos and in embryonic stem cells, which has a novel role in the maintenance of self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. A nanoparticle-formulated interfering RNA for NPR-A attenuated B16 melanoma tumors in mice. Ectopic expression of a plasmid encoding NP73-102, the NH2-terminal peptide of the ANP prohormone which downregulates NPR-A expression, also suppressed lung metastasis of A549 cells in nude mice and tumorigenesis of Line 1 cells in immunocompetent BALB/c mice. These results suggest that NPR-A is involved in tumorigenesis and a new target for cancer therapy. This review focuses on structure, abnormal functions and carcinogenic mechanisms of NPR-A to investigate its role in tumorigenesis.

Abstract
This minireview highlights the studies which suggest that guanylate cyclase is a single-component transducing system, containing distinct signaling modules in a single membrane-spanning protein. A guanylate cyclase signaling model is proposed which envisions the following sequential events: (1) a signal is initiated by the binding of the hormone to the ligand binding module; (2) the signal is potentiated by ATP at ARM; and (3) the amplified signal is finally transduced at the catalytic site. All of these signaling steps together constitute a switch, which when turned on, generates the second messenger cyclic GMP.

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), also known as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), is an endogenous and potent hypotensive hormone that elicits natriuretic, diuretic, vasorelaxant, and anti-proliferative effects, which are important in the control of blood pressure and cardiovascular events. One principal locus involved in the regulatory action of ANP and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is guanylyl cyclase / natriuretic peptide receptor-A (GC-A/NPRA). Studies on ANP, BNP, and their receptor, GC-A/NPRA, have greatly increased our knowledge of the control of hypertension and cardiovascular disorders. Cellular, biochemical, and molecular studies have helped to delineate the receptor function and signaling mechanisms of NPRA. Gene-targeted and transgenic mouse models have advanced our understanding of the importance of ANP, BNP, and GC-A/NPRA in disease states at the molecular level. Importantly, ANP and BNP are used as critical markers of cardiac events; however, their therapeutic potentials for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and stroke have just begun to be realized. We are now just at the initial stage of molecular therapeutics and pharmacogenomic advancement of the natriuretic peptides. More investigations should be undertaken and ongoing ones be extended in this important field.

Abstract
The cardiac hormones atrial natriuretic peptide and B-type natriuretic peptide (brain natriuretic peptide) activate guanylyl cyclase (GC)-A/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPRA) and produce the second messenger cGMP. GC-A/NPRA is a member of the growing family of GC receptors. The recent biochemical, molecular and genomic studies on GC-A/NPRA have provided important insights into the regulation and functional activity of this receptor protein, with a particular emphasis on cardiac and renal protective roles in hypertension and cardiovascular disease states. The progress in this field of research has significantly strengthened and advanced our knowledge about the critical roles of Npr1 (coding for GC-A/NPRA) in the control of fluid volume, blood pressure, cardiac remodeling, and other physiological functions and pathological states. Overall, this review attempts to provide insights and to delineate the current concepts in the field of functional genomics and signaling of GC-A/NPRA in hypertension and cardiovascular disease states at the molecular level.

Abstract
Cyclic GMP is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates a wide array of physiologic processes such as blood pressure, long bone growth, intestinal fluid secretion, phototransduction and lipolysis. Soluble and single-membrane-spanning enzymes called guanylyl cyclases (GC) synthesize cGMP. In humans, the latter group consists of GC-A, GC-B, GC-C, GC-E and GC-F, which are also known as NPR-A, NPR-B, StaR, Ret1-GC and Ret2-GC, respectively. Membrane GCs are activated by peptide ligands such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), guanylin, uroguanylin, heat stable enterotoxin and GC-activating proteins. Nesiritide and carperitide are clinically approved peptide-based drugs that activate GC-A. CD-NP is an experimental heart failure drug that primarily activates GC-B but also activates GC-A at high concentrations and is resistant to degradation. Inactivating mutations in GC-B cause acromesomelic dysplasia type Maroteaux dwarfism and chromosomal mutations that increase CNP concentrations are associated with Marfanoid-like skeletal overgrowth. Pump-based CNP infusions increase skeletal growth in a mouse model of the most common type of human dwarfism, which supports CNP/GC-B-based therapies for short stature diseases. Linaclotide is a peptide activator of GC-C that stimulates intestinal motility and is in late-stage clinical trials for the treatment of chronic constipation. This review discusses the discovery of cGMP, guanylyl cyclases, the general characteristics and therapeutic applications of GC-A, GC-B and GC-C, and emphasizes the regulation of transmembrane guanylyl cyclases by phosphorylation and ATP.

Abstract
The guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (GC-A/NPRA), also referred to as GC-A, is a single polypeptide molecule having a critical function in blood pressure regulation and cardiovascular homeostasis. GC-A/NPRA, which resides in the plasma membrane, consists of an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane domain, and an intracellular cytoplasmic region containing a protein kinase-like homology domain (KHD) and a guanylyl cyclase (GC) catalytic domain. After binding with atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP), GC-A/NPRA is internalized and sequestered into intracellular compartments. Therefore, GC-A/NPRA is a dynamic cellular macromolecule that traverses different subcellular compartments through its lifetime. This review describes the roles of short-signal sequences in the internalization, trafficking, and intracellular redistribution of GC-A/NPRA from cell surface to cell interior. Evidence indicates that, after internalization, the ligand-receptor complexes dissociate inside the cell and a population of GC-A/NPRA recycles back to the plasma membrane. Subsequently, the disassociated ligands are degraded in the lysosomes. However, a small percentage of the ligand escapes the lysosomal degradative pathway, and is released intact into culture medium. Using pharmacologic and molecular perturbants, emphasis has been placed on the cellular regulation and processing of ligand-bound GC-A/NPRA in terms of receptor trafficking and down-regulation in intact cells. The discussion is concluded by examining the functions of short-signal sequence motifs in the cellular life-cycle of GC-A/NPRA, including endocytosis, trafficking, metabolic processing, inactivation, and/or down-regulation in model cell systems.

Abstract
This article is a sequel to the four earlier comprehensive reviews which covered the field of membrane guanylate cyclase from its origin to the year 2002 (Sharma in Mol Cell Biochem 230:3-30, 2002) and then to the year 2004 (Duda et al. in Peptides 26:969-984, 2005); and of the Ca(2+)-modulated membrane guanylate cyclase to the year 1997 (Pugh et al. in Biosci Rep 17:429-473, 1997) and then to 2004 (Sharma et al. in Curr Top Biochem Res 6:111-144, 2004). This article contains three parts. The first part is "Historical"; it is brief, general, and freely borrowed from the earlier reviews, covering the field from its origin to the year 2004 (Sharma in Mol Cell Biochem, 230:3-30, 2002; Duda et al. in Peptides 26:969-984, 2005). The second part focuses on the "Ca(2+)-modulated ROS-GC membrane guanylate cyclase subfamily". It is divided into two sections. Section "Historical" and covers the area from its inception to the year 2004. It is also freely borrowed from an earlier review (Sharma et al. in Curr Top Biochem Res 6:111-144, 2004). Section "Ca(2+)-modulated ROS-GC membrane guanylate cyclase subfamily" covers the area from the year 2004 to May 2009. The objective is to focus on the chronological development, recognize major contributions of the original investigators, correct misplaced facts, and project on the future trend of the field of mammalian membrane guanylate cyclase. The third portion covers the present status and concludes with future directions in the field.

Abstract
The natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) is composed of an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a transmembrane-spanning domain, a kinase homology domain (KHD) and a guanylyl cyclase domain. Because the presence of ATP or adenylylimidodiphosphate reduces atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binding and is required for maximal guanylyl cyclase activity, a direct interaction of ATP with the receptor KHD domain is plausible. Therefore, we investigated whether ATP interacts directly with a binding site on the receptor by analyzing the binding of a photoaffinity analog of ATP to membranes from human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing the NPR-A receptor lacking the guanylyl cyclase moiety (DeltaGC). We demonstrate that this receptor (NPR-A-DeltaGC) can be directly labeled by 8-azido-3'-biotinyl-ATP and that labeling is highly increased following ANP treatment. The mutant receptor DeltaKC, which does not contain the KHD, is not labeled. Photoaffinity labeling of the NPR-A-DeltaGC is reduced by 50% in the presence of 550 microm ATP, and competition curve fitting studies indicate a Hill slope of 2.2, suggestive of cooperative binding. This approach demonstrates directly that the interaction of ANP with its receptor modulates the binding of ATP to the KHD, probably through a conformational change in the KHD. In turn, this conformational change is essential for maximal activity. In addition, the ATP analog, 8-azido-adenylylimidodiphosphate, inhibits guanylyl cyclase activity but increases ANP binding to the extracellular domain. These results suggest that the KHD regulates ANP binding and guanylyl cyclase activity independently.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that natriuretic peptides (NPs) play diverse roles in mammals, including renal hemodynamics, neuroendocrine, and cardiovascular functions. Collectively, NPs are classified as hypotensive hormones; the main actions of NPs are implicated in eliciting natriuretic, diuretic, steroidogenic, antiproliferative, and vasorelaxant effects, important factors in the control of body fluid volume and blood pressure homeostasis. One of the principal loci involved in the regulatory actions of NPs is their cognate plasma membrane receptor molecules, which are activated by binding with specific NPs. Interaction of NPs with their receptors plays a central role in physiology and pathophysiology of hypertension and cardiovascular disorders. Gaining insight into the intricacies of NPs-specific receptor signaling pathways is of pivotal importance for understanding both hormone-receptor biology and the disease states arising from abnormal hormone receptor interplay. During the last decade there has been a surge in interest in NP receptors; consequently, a wealth of information has emerged concerning molecular structure and function, signaling mechanisms, and use of transgenics and gene-targeted mouse models. The objective of this present review is to summarize and document the previous findings and recent discoveries in the field of the natriuretic peptide hormone family and receptor systems with emphasis on the structure-function relationship, signaling mechanisms, and the physiological and pathophysiological significance in health and disease.

Abstract
ATP is an obligatory agent for the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and the type C natriuretic peptide (CNP) signaling of their respective receptor guanylate cyclases, ANF-RGC and CNP-RGC. Through a common mechanism, it binds to a defined ARM domain of the cyclase, activates the cyclase and transduces the signal into generation of the second messenger cyclic GMP. In this presentation, the authors review the ATP-regulated transduction mechanism and refine the previously simulated three-dimensional ARM model (Duda T, Yadav P, Jankowska A, Venkataraman V, Sharma RK.

Abstract
One of the principal loci involved in the regulatory action of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) is guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (GC-A/NPRA), whose ligand-binding efficiency and GC catalytic activity vary remarkably in different target cells and tissues. In its mature form, NPRA resides in the plasma membrane and contains an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane region, and the intracellular protein kinase-like homology domain (KHD) and guanylyl cyclase (GC) catalytic domain. NPRA is a dynamic cellular macromolecule that traverses through different compartments of the cell through its lifetime. Binding of ligand to NPRA triggers a complex array of signal transduction events and accelerates the endocytosis. The endocytic transport is important in regulating signal transduction, formation of specialized signaling complexes, and modulation of specific components of internalization events. The present review describes the experiments which reveal the internalization of ligand-receptor complexes of NPRA, receptor trafficking and recycling, and delivery of both ligand-receptor molecules into subcellular compartments. The ligand-receptor complexes of NPRA are finally degraded within the lysosomes. The experimental evidence provides a consensus forum, which establishes the endocytosis, cellular trafficking, sequestration, and metabolic processing of ANP/NPRA complexes in the intact cells. The discussion is afforded to address the experimental insights into the mechanisms that cells utilize in modulating the delivery and metabolic processing of ligand-bound NPRA into the cell interior.

Abstract
Circulating natriuretic peptides such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) counterbalance the effects of hypertension and inhibit cardiac hypertrophy by activating cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). Natriuretic peptide binding to type I receptors (NPRA and NPRB) activates their intrinsic guanylyl cyclase activity, resulting in a rapid increase in cytosolic cGMP that subsequently activates PKG. Phosphorylation of the receptor by an unknown serine/threonine kinase is required before ligand binding can activate the cyclase. While searching for downstream PKG partners using a yeast two-hybrid screen of a human heart cDNA library, we unexpectedly found an upstream association with NPRA. PKG is a serine/threonine kinase capable of phosphorylating NPRA in vitro; however, regulation of NPRA by PKG has not been previously reported. Here we show that PKG is recruited to the plasma membrane following ANP treatment, an effect that can be blocked by pharmacological inhibition of PKG activation. Furthermore, PKG participates in a ligand-dependent gain-of-function loop that significantly increases the intrinsic cyclase activity of the receptor. PKG translocation is ANP-dependent but not nitric oxide-dependent. Our results suggest that anchoring of PKG to NPRA is a key event after ligand binding that determines distal effects. As such, the NPRA-PKG association may represent a novel mechanism for compartmentation of cGMP-mediated signaling and regulation of receptor sensitivity.

Abstract
To understand the signaling mechanisms of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor-A (NPRA), we studied the effect of the ANP/NPRA system on mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), with particular emphasis on the extracellular-regulated kinase (Erk2) and stress-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) in cultured human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMC). Angiotensin II (ANG II) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulated the immunoreactive Erk2 and p38MAPK activities and their protein levels by 2-4 fold. The pretreatment of cells with ANP significantly inhibited the agonist-stimulated Erk2 and p38MAPK activities and protein expression by 65-75% in HVSMC transiently transfected with NPRA, as compared with only 18-22% inhibition in vector-transfected cells. The pretreatment of cells with KT5823, an inhibitor of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), reversed the inhibitory effects of ANP on MAPK activities and protein expression by 90-95%. PD98059, which inhibits Erk2 by directly inhibiting the MAPK-kinase (MEK), and SB202192, a selective antagonist of p38MAPK, blocked the Erk2 and p38MAPK activities, respectively. Interestingly, ANP stimulated the MAPK-phosphatase-3 (MKP-3) protein levels by more than 3-fold in HVSMC over-expressing NPRA, suggesting that ANP-dependent inhibition of MAPKs may also proceed by stimulating the phosphatase cascade. These present findings provide the evidence that ANP exerts inhibitory effects on agonist-stimulated MAPKs (Erk2 and p38MAPK) activities and protein levels in a 2-fold manner: by antagonizing the up-stream signaling pathways and by activation of MKP-3 to counter-regulate MAPKs in a cGMP and PKG-dependent manner. Our results identify a signal transduction pathway in HVSMC that could contribute to vascular remodeling and structural changes in human hypertension.

Abstract
We examined the kinetics of internalization, trafficking, and down-regulation of recombinant guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPRA) utilizing stably transfected 293 cells expressing a very high density of receptors. After atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binding to NPRA, ligand-receptor complexes are internalized, processed intracellularly, and sequestered into subcellular compartments, which provided an approach to examining directly the dynamics of metabolic turnover of NPRA in intact cells. The translocation of ligand-receptor complexes from cell surface to intracellular compartments seems to be linked to ANP-dependent down-regulation of NPRA. Using tryptic proteolysis of cell surface receptors, it was found that approximately 40-50% of internalized ligand-receptor complexes recycled back to the plasma membrane with an apparent t(12) = 8 min. The recycling of NPRA was blocked by the lysosomotropic agent chloroquine, the energy depleter dinitrophenol, and also by low temperature, suggesting that recycling of the receptor is an energy- and temperature-dependent process. Data suggest that approximately 70-80% of internalized (125)I-ANP is processed through a lysosomal degradative pathway; however, 20-25% of internalized ligand is released intact into the cell exterior through an alternative mechanism involving an chloroquine-insensitive pathway. It is implied that internalization and processing of bound ANP-NPRA complexes may play an important role in mediating the biological action of hormone and the receptor protein. In retrospect, this could occur at the level of receptor regulation or through the initiation of ANP mediated signals. It is envisioned that the endocytotic pathway of ligand-receptor complexes of ANP-NPRA would lead to termination and/or diminished responsiveness of ANP in target cells.

Abstract
The atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) signal transduction mechanism consists of the transformation of the signal information into the production of cyclic GMP. The binding of ANF to its receptor, which is also a guanylate cyclase, generates the signal. This cyclase has been termed atrial natriuretic factor receptor guanylate cyclase, ANF-RGC. ANF-RGC is a single transmembrane-spanning protein. The ANF receptor domain resides in the extracellular region of the protein, and the catalytic domain is located in the intracellular region at the C-terminus of the protein. Thus, the signal is relayed progressively from the receptor domain to the catalytic domain, where it is converted into the formation of cyclic GMP. The first transduction step is the direct binding of ATP with ANF-RGC. This causes allosteric regulation of the enzyme and primes it for the activation of its catalytic moiety. The partial structural motif of the ATP binding domain in ANF-RGC has been elucidated, and it has been named ATP regulatory module (ARM). In this presentation, we provide a brief review of the ATP-regulated transduction mechanism and the ARM model. The model depicts a configuration of the ATP-binding pocket that has been experimentally validated, and the model shows that the ATP-dependent transduction process is a two- (or more) step event. The first step involves the binding of ATP with its ARM. This partially activates the cyclase and prepares it for the subsequent steps, which are consistent with its being phosphorylated and attaining the fully activated state.Key words: ANF, ANF-receptor guanylate cyclase (ANF-RGC), ATP, ATP-regulatory module (ARM).

Abstract
The guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPRA), also referred to as GC-A, is a single polypeptide molecule. In its mature form, NPRA resides in the plasma membrane and consists of an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane-spanning region, and intracellular cytoplasmic domain that contains a protein kinase-like homology domain (KHD) and a guanylyl cyclase (GC) catalytic active site. The binding of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) to NPRA occurs at the plasma membrane; the receptor is synthesized on the polyribosomes of the endoplasmic reticulum, and is presumably degraded within the lysosomes. It is apparent that NPRA is a dynamic cellular macromolecule that traverses through different compartments of the cell through its lifetime. This review describes the experiments addressing the interaction of ANP with the NPRA, the receptor-mediated internalization and stoichiometric distribution of ANP-NPRA complexes from cell surface to cell interior, and its release into culture media. It is hypothesized that after internalization, the ligand-receptor complexes dissociate inside the cell and a population of NPRA recycles back to plasma membrane. Subsequently, some of the dissociated ligand molecules escape the lysosomal degradative pathway and are released intact into culture media, which reenter the cell by retroendocytotic mechanisms. By utilizing the pharmacologic and physiologic perturbants, the emphasis has been placed on the cellular regulation and processing of ligand-receptor complexes in intact cells. I conclude the discussion by examining the data available on the utilization of deletion mutations of NPRA cDNA, which has afforded experimental insights into the mechanisms the cell utilizes in modulating the expression and functioning of NPRA.Key words: atrial natriuretic peptide receptor-A, guanylyl cyclase receptors, ANP-binding, internalization and recycling of receptor, lysosomal hydrolysis.

Abstract
We recently reported the direct inhibitory effect of adrenomedullin on caecal circular smooth muscle cells via cAMP system. This study was designed to determine whether the structurally related peptides to adrenomedullin (i.e.; calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), calcitonin, and amylin) can inhibit the cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8)-induced contractile response by exerting a direct action on guinea-pig caecal circular smooth muscle cells, and to compare the inhibitory potency of these peptides. In addition, to elucidate each intracellular mechanisms, the effects of an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, inhibitors of particulate or soluble guanylate cyclase on the each peptide-induced relaxation were investigated. Adrenomedullin, CGRP, calcitonin, and amylin inhibited the contractile response produced by CCK-8 in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 0.14 nM, 0.37 nM, 5.4 nM, and 160 nM, respectively. An inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase significantly inhibited the relaxation produced by all of these peptides. On the contrary, inhibitors of particulate or soluble guanylate cyclase did not have any significant effect on the relaxation produced by these peptides. In this study, we demonstrated the direct inhibitory effects of the structurally related peptides to adrenomedullin (i.e.; CGRP, calcitonin, and amylin) on the isolated caecal circular smooth muscle cells via cAMP system. The order of potency was as follows; adrenomedullin falling dots CGRP > calcitonin > amylin.

Abstract
The binding of atrial natriuretic peptide and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) to the guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptors A and B (NPR-A and -B), respectively, stimulates increases in intracellular cGMP concentrations. The vasoactive peptides vasopressin, angiotensin II, and endothelin inhibit natriuretic peptide-dependent cGMP elevations by activating protein kinase C (PKC). Recently, we identified six in vivo phosphorylation sites for NPR-A and five sites for NPR-B and demonstrated that the phosphorylation of these sites is required for ligand-dependent receptor activation. Here, we show that phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a direct activator of PKC, causes the dephosphorylation and desensitization of NPR-B. In contrast to the CNP-dependent desensitization process, which results in coordinate dephosphorylation of all five sites in the receptor, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate treatment causes the dephosphorylation of only one site, which we have identified as Ser(523). The conversion of this residue to alanine or glutamate did not reduce the amount of mature receptor protein as indicated by detergent-dependent guanylyl cyclase activities or Western blot analysis but completely blocked the ability of PKC to induce the dephosphorylation and desensitization of NPR-B. Thus, in contrast to previous reports suggesting that PKC directly phosphorylates and inhibits guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptors, we show that PKC-dependent dephosphorylation of NPR-B at Ser(523) provides a possible molecular explanation for how pressor hormones inhibit CNP signaling.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of adrenomedullin (ADM) on cGMP production in cultured SV-40 transformed cat iris sphincter smooth muscle (SV-CISM-2) cells. ADM increased cGMP accumulation in a time- and concentration- dependent manner. The peptide increased cGMP formation in the transformed cells by 405-fold as compared to 1. 6-fold in primary cultured CISM cells. The basal cGMP concentrations in both cell types were comparable. In addition, ADM increased cAMP accumulation in SV-CISM-2 cells and in primary cultured cells by 18. 9- and 5.8-fold, respectively. The ADM receptor antagonist, ADM(26-52), but not the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor antagonist, anantin, inhibited ADM-induced cGMP formation. The phorbol ester, phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu), which inhibits particulate guanylate cyclases in smooth muscle, blocked ADM-stimulated cGMP accumulation. In contrast, inhibitors of the soluble guanylate cyclases, such as LY83583 and ODQ, and inhibitors of the nitric oxide cascade had little effect on ADM-stimulated cGMP production. The stimulatory effect of ADM on cGMP formation is due to activation of the guanylate cyclase system and not to a much reduced phosphodiesterase activity. ADM stimulated guanylate cyclase activity in membrane fractions isolated from SV-CISM-2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner with EC(50) value of 72 nM. Pertussis toxin, an activator of the G-protein, Gi, inhibited ADM-stimulated cGMP accumulation, whereas cholera toxin, a stimulator of the Gs G-protein and subsequently cAMP accumulation, had little effect. Pretreatment of the plasma membrane fraction with Gialpha antibody attenuated ADM-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity by 75%. We conclude that ADM increases intracellular cGMP levels in SV-CISM-2 cells through activation of the ADM receptor and subsequent stimulation of a Gi-mediated membrane-bound guanylate cyclase.

Abstract
We have examined the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and its guanylyl cyclase/natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPRA) on mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (MAPK/ERK2) activity in rat mesangial cells overexpressing NPRA. Agonist hormones such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), angiotensin II (ANG II), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) stimulated 2.5- to 3.5-fold immunoreactive MAPK/ERK2 activity in these cells. ANP inhibited agonist-stimulated activity of MAPK/ERK2 by 65-75% in cells overexpressing NPRA, whereas in vector-transfected cells, its inhibitory effect was only 18-20%. NPRA antagonist A71915 and KT5823, a specific inhibitor of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) completely reversed the inhibitory effect of ANP on MAPK/ERK2 activity. ANP also inhibited the PDGF-stimulated [(3)H]thymidine uptake by almost 70% in cells overexpressing NPRA, as compared with only 20-25% inhibition in vector-transfected cells. These results demonstrate that ANP/NPRA system negatively regulates MAPK/ERK2 activity and proliferation of mesangial cells in a PKG-dependent manner.

Abstract
Guinea pig caecal circular smooth muscle cells were used to determine whether brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) can inhibit the contractile response produced by cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8). In addition, we examined the effect of an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, an inhibitor of particulate or soluble guanylate cyclase, an atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) antagonist (ANP 1-11), and selective receptor protection on the BNP-induced relaxation of these muscle cells. The effect of BNP on cAMP formation was also examined. BNP inhibited the contractile response produced by CCK-8 in a dose-response manner, with an IC50 value of 8.5 nM, and stimulated the production of cAMP. The inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase significantly inhibited the relaxation produced by BNP. In contrast, the inhibitor of particulate guanylate cyclase did not have any significant effect on the relaxation produced by BNP. ANP 1-11 significantly but partially inhibited the relaxation produced by BNP. The muscle cells where CCK-8 and ANP binding sites were protected completely preserved the inhibitory response to ANP, but partially preserved the inhibitory response to BNP. The muscle cells where CCK-8 and BNP binding sites were protected completely preserved the inhibitory response to both ANP and BNP. This study demonstrates that BNP induces relaxation of these muscle cells via both ANP binding sites coupled to soluble guanylate cyclase and distinct BNP binding sites coupled to adenylate cyclase.

Abstract
The binding of atrial natriuretic peptide and C-type natriuretic peptide to the guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptors A and B (NPR-A and NPR-B), respectively, results in decreases in extracellular volume, vascular tension and cell proliferation. Both NPR-A and NPR-B are extensively phosphorylated in resting cells and receptor dephosphorylation is correlated with ligand-induced homologous desensitization. To understand the role of phosphorylation in the regulation of these receptors, we identified the in vivo phosphorylation sites of NPR-A and NPR-B and found that the phosphorylation of multiple sites within their kinase homology domains is absolutely required for their activation. In this review, we give a detailed description of the phosphopeptide mapping techniques that were used to identify and characterize these sites and discuss the potential pitfalls that are associated with them.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of endothelins (ETs) on cGMP production in cultured SV-40 transformed cat iris sphincter smooth muscle (SV-CISM-2) cells. ET-3 increased cGMP formation in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 = 98nM), which was 2.5 times higher than that of ET-1. The ET(B)receptor agonists sarafotoxin-S6c and IRL 1620 also increased cGMP production, mimicking the effects of the ETs. The ET(B) receptor antagonist BQ 788, but not the ET(A) receptor antagonist BQ610, dose-dependently blocked ET-3-stimulated cGMP formation (IC50=10nM). The phorbol ester, Phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu), which inhibits particulate guanylyl cyclase in smooth muscle, dose-dependently inhibited ET-3-stimulated cGMP accumulation (IC50=66nM). LY83583 and ODQ, inhibitors of soluble guanylyl cyclases, as well as inhibitors of the nitric oxide cascade and of intracellular Ca2+ elevation had no appreciable effect on ET-3-induced cGMP production. ET-3 markedly inhibited carbachol-induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. We conclude that ET-3 increases intracellular cGMP levels in SV-CISM-2 cells through activation of the ET(B) receptor subtype and subsequent stimulation of the membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase. Elevation of cGMP by ET and the subsequent inhibition of muscarinic stimulation of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization by the cyclic nucleotide could serve to modulate the contractile effects of Ca2+-mobilizing agonists in the iris sphincter smooth muscle.

Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) causes relaxation of smooth muscle cells via both VIP-specific receptor coupled to nitric oxide synthase and VIP-preferring receptor coupled to adenylate cyclase. Because the mechanism of interaction among VIP, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP), and PTH is still unclear, the characteristics of the receptors for PACAP and PTH in circular muscle cells obtained from the guinea pig cecum were investigated. The effects of an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase [cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphorothioate (Rp-cAMPS)], guanylate cyclase inhibitors, antagonists of these peptides, and the selective receptor protection on the relaxing effect produced by PACAP, VIP, and PTH were examined. PACAP-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited by a VIP antagonist, a PTH antagonist, Rp-cAMPS, and an inhibitor of particulate guanylate cyclase. VIP-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited by a PACAP antagonist and a PTH antagonist. PTH-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited by a VIP-specific receptor antagonist and Rp-cAMPS, but not by a PACAP antagonist. A PTH antagonist significantly inhibited a VIP-preferring receptor agonist-induced relaxation. The muscle cells in which cholecystokinin octapeptide and PTH receptors were protected completely abolished the inhibitory responses to VIP and PACAP. The muscle cells in which cholecystokinin octapeptide and VIP or PACAP receptors were protected completely abolished the inhibitory response to PTH. This study shows that PACAP induces relaxation of these muscle cells via both VIP-preferring receptor coupled to adenylate cyclase and PACAP-specific receptor, and that PTH induces relaxation of the muscle cells via PTH-specific receptor coupled to adenylate cyclase. In addition, the results of a selective receptor protection show that PTH does not bind to VIP receptors, and that VIP does not bind to PTH receptor. Therefore, this study first demonstrates the presence of one-way inhibitory mechanisms from the PTH-specific receptor to the VIP-preferring receptor, and from the VIP-specific receptor to the PTH-specific receptor in the mechanisms of interaction between VIP and PTH.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A) is the biological receptor for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Activation of the NPR-A guanylyl cyclase requires ANP binding to the extracellular domain and ATP binding to a putative site within its cytoplasmic region. The allosteric interaction of ATP with the intracellular kinase homology domain (KHD) is hypothesized to derepress the carboxyl-terminal guanylyl cyclase catalytic domain, resulting in the synthesis of the second messenger, cyclic GMP. Here, we show that phosphorylation of the KHD is essential for receptor activation. Using a combination of phosphopeptide mapping techniques, we have identified six residues within the ATP-binding domain (S497, T500, S502, S506, S510, and T513) which are phosphorylated when NPR-A is expressed in HEK 293 cells. Mutation of any one of these Ser or Thr residues to Ala caused reductions in the receptor phosphorylation state, the number and pattern of phosphopeptides observed in tryptic maps, and ANP-dependent guanylyl cyclase activity. The reductions were not explained by decreases in NPR-A protein levels, as indicated by immunoblot analysis and determinations of cyclase activity in the presence of detergent. Conversion of Ser-497 to Ala resulted in the most dramatic decrease in cyclase activity (approximately 20% of wild-type activity), but conversion to an acidic residue (Glu), which mimics the charge of the phosphoserine moiety, had no effect. Simultaneous mutation of five of the phosphorylation sites to Ala resulted in a dephosphorylated receptor which was unresponsive to hormone and had potent dominant negative inhibitory activity. We conclude that phosphorylation of the KHD is absolutely required for hormone-dependent activation of NPR-A.

Abstract
Many internalized receptors are known to be phosphorylated within their cytoplasmic domain. Natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C) is a covalent homodimer primarily involved in the internalization of bound ligand resulting in tissue uptake and degradation of natriuretic peptides. In this report, we have investigated the phosphorylation state of NPR-C receptors present at high level in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASM). 32P labeled cells, NPR-C purification and phosphoamino acid analysis clearly demonstrate that NPR-C exists as a phosphoprotein in RASM cells and that phosphorylation occurs exclusively on serine residues. Transient expression of bovine NPR-C in Cos-P cells of kidney origin confirmed that phosphorylation occurs within the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor. These results provide the first evidence for NPR-C phosphorylation as well as a model for future studies of its role in altering receptor function.

Abstract
Smooth muscle cells isolated from the caecal circular smooth muscle layers of the guinea pig were used to determine whether adrenomedullin and guanylin can inhibit the contractile response produced by 10(-9) M cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8). In addition, to elucidate each intracellular mechanisms, we examined the effects of an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, an inhibitor of particulate guanylate cyclase, and an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase on the adrenomedullin- or guanylin-induced relaxation of the caecal circular smooth muscle cells. Both adrenomedullin and guanylin inhibited the contractile response produced by CCK-8 in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 0.12 nM and 2.4 pM, respectively. An inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase significantly inhibited the relaxation produced by adrenomedullin. In contrast, an inhibitor of particulate guanylate cyclase and an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase did not have any significant effect on the relaxation produced by adrenomedullin. On the other hand, an inhibitor of particulate guanylate cyclase significantly inhibited the guanylin-induced relaxation, although an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase did not have any significant effect on the guanylin-induced relaxation. In this study, we first demonstrated the direct inhibitory effects of adrenomedullin via cAMP system and guanylin via particulate guanylate cyclase system on the isolated caecal circular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) regulates diverse physiological responses by binding to its specific guanylyl cyclase-A receptor (Npra) which synthesizes the intracellular second messenger cGMP. To understand the molecular mechanisms of cellular signaling of ANP, we have studied its effect on the enzymatic activity of overexpressed protein kinase C (PKC) in murine Leydig tumor (MA-10) cells which were transfected with PKC-alpha cDNA. Treatments with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), angiotensin II (ANG II) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) stimulated the PKC activity by 4-5-fold in PKC-alpha cDNA transfected MA-10 cells. The pretreatment of PKC-alpha transfected cells with ANP significantly inhibited the TPA-, ANG II- and ET-1-stimulated PKC activity. The agonist-stimulated PKC activity was also inhibited in the presence of 8-bromo-cGMP, however, cAMP had no effect on stimulatory PKC activity. The exposure of cells to Npra- antagonist A71915, which blocks the production of cGMP, significantly reduced the inhibitory effect of ANP on agonist-stimulated PKC activity and accumulation of intracellular cGMP in MA-10 cells. Similarly, inhibition of cGMP-dependent protein kinase by KT5823, restored the stimulatory levels of PKC activity in the presence of ANP. These results provide direct evidence that ANP antagonizes the agonist-stimulated PKC activity in MA-10 cells, involving the specific receptor Npra, its second messenger cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Together, these findings implicate that ANP may act as a negative mediator of 'cross-talk' between PKC-alpha and Npra signaling pathway in MA-10 cells.

Abstract
Since secretagogues have been shown to increase the internalization of surfactant phospholipid and protein by lung cells, we postulated that their action occurred through a mechanism involving increased surfactant protein A (SP-A) receptor density. Therefore, we evaluated the influence of secretagogues on the binding of iodinated SP-A to alveolar type II cells. Type II cells were isolated from rat lung and maintained in primary culture for 18 h on Transwell membranes. Upon exposure to 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (cAMP, 0.1 mM), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 10 nM), terbutaline (0.1 mM), or ATP (1 mM), the binding of SP-A increased 1.5-2-fold. This stimulation was cell substrate-dependent since type II cells plated on plastic dishes did not show this effect. A time course of the stimulation of SP-A binding due to secretagogues showed that both cAMP and PMA increased SP-A binding by 2-fold after 20 min. With cAMP, binding remained elevated for 2 h, while binding in the presence of PMA had returned to control values. The effects of submaximal concentrations of cAMP and PMA on binding were additive. Inhibition of cellular protein synthesis with cycloheximide did not alter the increase of SP-A binding stimulated by the secretagogues. Type II cells pretreated with PMA responded to subsequent treatment with cAMP by increasing SP-A binding, while these cells were refractory to subsequent treatment with PMA. Both constitutive and regulated binding of SP-A to type II cells were sensitive to trypsin. The binding of SP-A to type II cells showed saturation at a concentration of 1 microg/ml SP-A under control and secretagogue-stimulated conditions, with both total and calcium-dependent binding showing a 2-fold increase upon secretagogue exposure. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that secretagogues stimulate surfactant uptake, at least in part, through recruitment of SP-A receptors to the type II cell surface, resulting in an increase in the number of SP-A binding sites.

Abstract
Smooth muscle cells isolated separately from the caecal circular smooth muscle layer of the guinea pig were used to investigate whether corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) can inhibit directly the contraction produced by cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8). In addition, the role of adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase in the direct inhibitory effect of CRH was examined. CRH inhibited the contractile response produced by 10(-9)M CCK-8 in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 0.16nM. An inhibitor of particulate guanylate cyclase and an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase had no significant effect of the relaxation produced by CRH. In contrast, an inhibitor of adenylate cyclase and an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase significantly inhibited the relaxation produced by CRH. This is the first report demonstrating the direct inhibitory action of CRH on the isolated caecal smooth muscle cells via adenylate cyclase system.

Abstract
We determined previously that astroglia cultured from newborn rat brain contain both guanylyl cyclase-coupled and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-C natriuretic peptide receptors. Here, we investigated the effects of the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on these receptor subtypes in cultured astroglia to understand the intracellular processes involved in the modulation of natriuretic peptide receptors in these cells. PMA (10 nM to 1 microM; 15 min to 24 h) treatment elicited a time- and concentration-dependent decrease in the numbers of 125I-labeled ANP specific binding sites, which was inhibited by the PKC antagonist staurosporine (500 nM). Furthermore, PMA (100 nM, 2 or 24 h) treatment elicited a significant decrease in the specific binding of 125I-des-Cys-Cys-ANP, an ANP-C receptor selective ligand. PMA (10 nM to 1 microM; 30 min) treatment also significantly decreased ANP (100 nM)-stimulated guanosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate levels in cultured astroglia, an effect unmodified by phosphodiesterase inhibition. These data indicate that PKC modulates both guanylyl cyclase-coupled and ANP-C natriuretic peptide receptors in cultured astroglia.

Abstract
We describe the isolation of a 3,276 base pair cDNA for the bovine natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B). Expression of this clone in Cos-P cells demonstrates that it encodes an agonist-dependent guanylyl cyclase. Porcine CNP stimulates the activity of this receptor up to 200-fold with an ED50 of 12 +/- 2 nM, whereas brain natriuretic peptide C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) are less efficacious. In addition, ligand binding studies indicate that this receptor exhibits the pharmacology appropriate for the bovine NPR-B. CNP binds to Cos-P cell membranes expressing this clone with a Kd of 13 +/- 1 pM, and natriuretic peptides compete for [125I]-CNP binding with a rank order of pCNP > pBNP > rANF. Thus, the expressed receptor-guanylyl cyclase exhibits the expected pharmacological profile for ligand binding and cyclase activation of the bovine NPR-B receptor.

Abstract
Astroglial cells derived from the mammalian central nervous system contain a wide variety of peptide receptors, including specific sites for angiotensin II (AII) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). The AII receptors present in these cells are primarily of the AT1 subtype. The ANP receptors present in these cells consist of a mix of ANP-A and ANP-B sites ("biological receptors") and also ANP-C sites ("clearance receptors"). Available evidence indicates that activation of AII receptors results in a stimulation of astroglial proliferation, whereas ANP has an antiproliferative effect in these cells. Intracellular pathways which may mediate these effects of AII and ANP on cell proliferation are discussed, including the presentation of novel data on the activation of protein kinase C and of glucose uptake by AII. We also consider the possibility that the opposing actions of AII and ANP on astroglial proliferation may represent another facet of the mutual antagonism between these two peptides, which has been observed throughout mammalian systems.

Abstract
We have compared the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) on the accumulation of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in secondary cultures of rat astrocytes. The order of potency of these peptides was CNP > ANP > BNP, which would be compatible with a predominance of guanylate cyclase B (GC-B)- versus guanylate cyclase A (GC-A)-type receptors in these cells. Accordingly, we found by northern blot analysis that the mRNA transcripts of GC-B were much more abundant in astrocytes than the transcripts of GC-A. In addition, astrocytes from diencephalon accumulated two times more cGMP in response to CNP than astrocytes from cortex. Binding experiments with 125I-labeled ANP or [Tyro]-CNP established that these ligands recognized only clearance-type receptors on astrocytes. However, the number of binding sites was approximately 100 times higher in astrocytes from cortex than in astrocytes from diencephalon and thus was inversely correlated to the amplitude of the cGMP response in the same cells. We found no further evidence for differences in the levels of GC-B receptors in astrocytes from the two regions because (a) the abundance of GC-B mRNA was similar and (b) there was no difference in particulate guanylate cyclase activity in astrocytes from each region. In addition, occupancy of clearance receptors with C-ANP4-23 did not affect the accumulation of cGMP in response to CNP; this makes it unlikely that the differences in cGMP responsiveness can be accounted for by binding and sequestration of CNP to the clearance receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) relaxes the vascular smooth muscle via particulate guanylate cyclase. Smooth muscle cells isolated from the caecal circular muscle layer of the guinea pig were used to examine the direct inhibitory effect of ANP on those cells. The role of adenylate cyclase, particulate guanylate cyclase, and soluble guanylate cyclase in the direct inhibitory effect of ANP on contraction of this muscle cell induced by carbachol was investigated. ANP inhibited the contractile response produced by 10(6)M carbachol in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 8nM. An inhibitor of adenylate cyclase (2',5'-dideoxyadenosine) and two inhibitors of particulate guanylate cyclase (HS-142-1, and PMA) had no significant effect on the relaxation produced by ANP. In contrast, an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase (LY83583) significantly and completely inhibited the relaxation produced by ANP. This is the first report demonstrating the direct inhibitory action of ANP on the isolated caecal smooth muscle cells via soluble guanylate cyclase, which differs from the intracellular mechanism responsible for the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle produced by ANP.

Abstract
The differential distribution of natriuretic peptide receptor subtypes and their distinct properties were assessed in mammalian cellular models which were screened for their ability to produce cGMP upon stimulation by different natriuretic peptides. The ANF-R1A receptor subtype was distinguished by its selective activation by atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) while the ANF-R1C was characterized by preferential stimulation by C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). AT-620 pituitary cells, bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, and NIH-3T3 fibroblasts mainly express the ANF-R1C receptor subtype. Other cell lines such as PC12, RASM and GH3 express significant but varying amounts of both ANF-R1A and ANF-R1C subtypes. A10 and NIH cells which express high density of ANF-R2 receptor subtype, also demonstrate a higher sensitivity to CNP over ANF suggesting that they express significant amounts of ANF-R1C. Studies of the regulation by ATP of guanylyl cyclase activity indicate that both ANF-R1A and ANF-R1C subtypes are modulated in the same manner. In the presence of Mn2+, ATP inhibits the CNP-stimulated guanylyl cyclase activity while in the presence of Mg2+ adenine nucleotides potentiate the stimulation by CNP. In addition, we show that like the ANF-R1A, the ANF-R1C guanylyl cyclase activity can be regulated by phosphorylation since preincubation with TPA or FKL attenuates the subsequent stimulation by CNP in cultured cells. The results presented demonstrate that specific cell types express distinct natriuretic peptide receptor subtypes and also that the newly characterized ANF-R1C subtype is regulated by ATP and serine/threonine kinases in the same way as the ANF-R1A subtype.
