Abstract
Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) shares a functionally important sequence homology with other natriuretic peptides. However, the characteristics of DNP and its receptor in the context of diabetes remafin to be fully elucidated. In the present study, alterations in the plasma levels and tissue contents of DNP and the properties of its receptor in diabetic rats, induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection, were investigated. The plasma levels of DNP were 90.01 ± 4.12 and 196.68 ± 5.60 pg/ml in the control and STZ-induced diabetic rats, respectively. The tissue contents of DNP in the cardiac atrium, ventricle, renal cortex and inner medulla of the STZ-induced diabetic rats were also significantly increased compared with the control rats. Specific (125)I-DNP-binding sites were located predominantly in the glomeruli and inner medulla of the rat kidney. In the glomeruli of the kidney, the apparent dissociation constants (Kd) of (125)I-DNP in the control and STZ-induced diabetic rats were 0.41 ± 0.03 and 0.56 ± 0.06 nM, respectively. The maximum binding capacities (Bmax) of (125)I-DNP in control and STZ-induced diabetic rats were 2.98 ± 0.21 and 6.22 ± 1.06 fmol/mg protein, respectively. However, no differences were observed in the apparent Kd and Bmax of (125)I-DNP in the inner medulla of the kidney between the control and STZ-induced diabetic rats. In the glomerular and inner medullary kidney membranes, DNP stimulated the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in a dose-dependent manner. The magnitude of cGMP production in glomerular membranes was greater in the STZ-induced diabetic rats, whereas the magnitude of cGMP production in the inner medullary membranes was lower in the STZ-induced diabetic rats compared with the control rats. These results indicated that STZ-induced diabetes modulate DNP and its receptor, and also suggested that modulation of the DNP system is involved in the renal function of diabetic animals via the intracellular domain of the kidney NP receptor.

Abstract
In mouse ovarian follicles, the oocyte is maintained in meiotic prophase arrest by natriuretic peptide type C (NPPC) acting via its cognate receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR2). As there is a marked species difference in the receptor selectivity of the natriuretic peptide family, this study examined the functional effect of other natriuretic peptides, type A (NPPA) and type B (NPPB), acting via NPR2 on mouse-oocyte meiotic arrest. The results by quantitative, reverse-transcriptase PCR showed that Npr2 was the predominant natriuretic peptide receptor transcript, and that Npr1 and Npr3 mRNA levels were negligible in cumulus cells isolated from equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG)-primed, immature female mice. While NPPA and NPPB from human and rat had no effect on oocyte maturation, porcine NPPB (pNPPB) maintained oocyte meiotic arrest in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, pNPPB-mediated meiotic arrest and cGMP production could be completely blocked by the NPR2 inhibitor sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Neither the NPR1 antagonist anantin or Npr1 knockout had an effect on pNPPB-mediated meiotic arrest. Thus, pNPPB can functionally maintain mouse-oocyte meiotic arrest by the receptor NPR2 of cumulus cells. These findings demonstrate that pNPPB may be used as a probe to identify the essential amino acid sequences for activation of NPR2.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides help to maintain sodium and fluid volume homeostasis in a healthy cardio-renal environment. Since the identification of Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) as a new member of the natriuretic peptide family, DNP has been considered as an important regulator of natriuresis and dieresis. The present study was undertaken to investigate the presence of immunoreactive Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) and its specific receptor in rabbit. DNP was detected in heart, kidney, liver, brain, and plasma by radioimmunoassay (RIA). DNP contents of cardiac atrium and ventricle, renal cortex and medulla, liver, and brain were 1.42 ± 0.15, 1.0 6 ± 0.08, 2.55 ± 0.21, 1.81 ± 0.16, 1.36 ± 0.22, and 0.69 ± 0.15 pg/mg of wet weight, respectively. The concentration of DNP in plasma was 235.44 ± 15.44 pg/ml. By quantitative in vitro receptor autoradiography, specific ¹²⁵I-DNP binding sites were revealed in glomeruli, interlobular artery, acuate artery, vasa recta bundle, and inner medulla of the kidney with an apparent dissociation constant (K(d)) of 0.29 ± 0.05, 0.36 ± 0.03, 0.84 ± 0.19, 1.18 ± 0.23, and 10.91 ± 1.59 nM, respectively. Basal rate of 3', 5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production by particulate guanylyl cyclase (GC) activation of glomerular membranes was basally 13.40 ± 1.70 pmol/mg protein/min. DNP caused an increment of cGMP production in similar magnitude to that caused by ANP, BNP, and urodilatin, while the production of cGMP by CNP was significantly lower than that by DNP. Our results show that plasma levels of DNP were higher when compared to other tissues. DNP produces cGMP via the NPR-A receptor subtype in the kidney, similarly to ANP and BNP, suggesting that plasma DNP could have similar functions as ANP and BNP.

Abstract
The influence of human atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and of two related peptides, human brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and urodilatin (URO) on the bronchoconstriction induced by inhalation of histamine in conscious, non-anaesthetized guinea pigs was tested.Changes in lung function were registered using two independent methods, one operating in a closed body-plethysmographic system, the other in an open system based on the time lag of air flow curves. The peptides were infused (0.25 ml/min) into the jugular vein for a period from 10 min before until 15 min after the histamine inhalation.ANP displayed virtually no effect on the bronchoconstriction. URO showed some inibition at 1280ng kg(-1) min(-1), but not at lower doses. BNP (640ng kg(-1) min(-1)) inhibited the bronchoconstriction markedly for the total registration period.It can be concluded from these results that BNP exerts bronchoprotective effects in the conscious guinea pig, which are superior to those of ANP or URO.

Abstract
Heptahelical of serpentine receptors such as the adrenergic receptors are well known to mediate their actions via heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins. Likewise, receptors that traverse the cell membrane once have been shown to mediate their biological actions by activating several different mechanisms including stimulation of their intrinsic tyrosine kinase activities or the kinase activities of other proteins. Some of these single transmembrane receptors have an intrinsic guanylyl cyclase activity and can stimulate the cyclic GMP second messenger system; however, over the last few years, several studies have shown the involvement of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins in mediating signals that eventually culminate in the biological actions of single transmembrane spanning receptors and proteins. These receptors include the receptor tyrosine kinases that mediate the actions of growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, insulin, insulin-like growth factor as well as receptors for atrial natiuretic hormone or the zona pellucida protein (ZP3) and integrins. In this review, the significance of the coupling of the single transmembrane spanning receptors to G proteins has been highlighted by providing several examples of the concept that signaling via these receptors may involve the activation of multiple signaling cascades.

Abstract
The natriuretic peptide (NP) system consists of three types of hormones [atrial NP (ANP), brain or B-type NP (BNP), and C-type NP (CNP)] and three types of receptors [NP receptor (R)-A, NPR-B, and NPR-C]. ANP and BNP are circulating hormones secreted from the heart, whereas CNP is basically a neuropeptide. NPR-A and NPR-B are membrane-bound guanylyl cyclases, whereas NPR-C is assumed to function as a clearance-type receptor. ANP, BNP, and CNP occur commonly in all tetrapods, but ventricular NP replaces BNP in teleost fish. In elasmobranchs, only CNP is found, even in the heart, suggesting that CNP is an ancestral form. A new guanylyl cyclase-uncoupled receptor named NPR-D has been identified in the eel in addition to NPR-A, -B, and -C. The NP system plays pivotal roles in cardiovascular and body fluid homeostasis. ANP is secreted in response to an increase in blood volume and acts on various organs to decrease both water and Na+, resulting in restoration of blood volume. In the eel, however, ANP is secreted in response to an increase in plasma osmolality and decreases Na+ specifically, thereby promoting seawater adaptation. Therefore, it seems that the family of NPs were originally Na(+)-extruding hormones in fishes; however, they evolved to be volume-depleting hormones promoting the excretion of both Na+ and water in tetrapods in which both are always regulated in the same direction. Vertebrates expanded their habitats from fresh water to the sea or to land during evolution. The structure and function of osmoregulatory hormones have also undergone evolution during this ecological evolution. Thus, a comparative approach to the study of the NP family affords new insights into the essential function of this osmoregulatory hormone.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the presence of C-type natriuretic peptide 1-22 (CNP)-dependent guanylyl cyclase (GC)-coupled receptor and its biological function in the penile erectile smooth muscle. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experiments have been done in rabbit and rat to detect cyclic GMP (cGMP) generation by the activation of particulate GC by natriuretic peptides (NPs) in cavernosal membrane, to localize precise receptor using a quantitative in vitro autoradiography of the snap frozen sections, to define natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) mRNA using a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique and to monitor changes of erectile smooth muscle tone by NPs in the penile tissue strips. RESULTS Productions of cGMP by particulate GC in the corpus cavernosum membranes of rabbit and rat were stimulated by CNP, atrial natriuretic peptide 1-28 (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide 1-26 (BNP) with a rank order of potency of CNP > BNP > ANP. HS-142-1, a selective antagonist for the GC-coupled NPR, inhibited the CNP-stimulated cGMP production in corpus cavernosal membrane of rabbit and rat. Specific 125I-(Tyr[0])-CNP bindings were localized in the corpus cavernosal smooth muscle of rabbit with Kd of 19.92+/-3.38 nM. and Bmax of 734.64+/-139.63 amol./mm2. B-subtype of NPR mRNA was detected in the penile corpus cavernosum of rat using RT-PCR technique. CNP relaxed the smooth muscle contracted by Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest for the first time that CNP modulates the erectile smooth muscle tone of penis by predominant activation of B-subtype of NPR with augmentation of cGMP production via particulate GC.

Abstract
The distribution of receptors for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and angiotensin II (ANG II) in the kidney and adrenal gland of the freshwater turtle, Amyda japonica, was examined by quantitative in vitro autoradiography using 125I-labeled rat (r)ANP1-28 and 125I-labeled human ANG II as labeled ligands. Receptor subtypes were characterized by competition with des[Gln18,Ser19,Gly20, Leu21, Gly22] ANP(4-23) (C-ANP) as a selective ligand of the clearance receptors to specific 125I-rANP(1-28) binding, and with DuP 753 and PD 123319 as nonpeptide antagonists for ANG II receptors type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) subtypes, respectively, to 125I-ANG II binding. Specific 125I-rANP(1-28) binding with a single binding site was found overlying glomeruli of the kidney and the outer zone of the adrenal gland with dissociation constants (Kd) of 4.39 +/- 0.33 and 6.07 +/- 1.36 nM, respectively. C-ANP (10 microM) inhibited about 90% of the glomerular and adrenal 125I-rANP(1-28) binding. Specific 125I-ANG II binding was also localized in the glomeruli of the kidney and the outer zone of the adrenal gland with Kd of 1.02 +/- 0.22 and 0.37 +/- 0.04 nM, respectively. DuP 753 (10 microM) potently inhibited about 80% of glomerular and 90% of adrenal 125I-ANG II binding, whereas PD 123319 (10 microM) was very weak in competing for specific 125I-ANG II binding in both tissues. Therefore, these results indicate that specific ANP and ANG II receptors with high affinities have an overlapping distribution in glomeruli of the kidney and the outer zone of the adrenal gland of the freshwater turtle. They also suggest that biological and clearance ANP receptor-like subtypes coexist in both tissues, and the predominant ANG II receptor subtype in these tissues is the AT1-like receptor. The overlapping distribution of specific receptors for both peptides in these tissues provides the basis for possible receptor interactions to exert a functional antagonism between ANP and ANG II in the freshwater turtle.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is the cellular mechanism by which type C receptors of natriuretic peptides exert their clearance function. In the present work, performed in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells stably transfected with wild type or mutated human kidney C receptors, we determined net endocytic rates (ER) of C receptor-ligand complexes, lysosomal hydrolysis of ligand (125I-labeled native atrial natriuretic factor, ANF1-28), and receptor recycling. Equilibrium ligand binding, immunocytochemistry, and immunoprecipitation were performed to characterize the transfected receptors. The net ER of recombinant wild type C receptors was approximately 6% of occupied receptors internalized per min, and C receptor-mediated lysosomal hydrolysis of ligand amounted to approximately 250% of specifically bound 125I-ANF1-28/h, with efficient recycling of internalized C receptors to the cell surface. Hypertonic sucrose reduced net ER and lysosomal hydrolysis of 125I-ANF1-28 more than 10-fold, indicating that endocytosis occurred via clathrin-coated pits. Total deletion of the cytoplasmic domain also reduced net ER and lysosomal hydrolysis of 125I-ANF1-28 by almost 10-fold, whereas deletion of the terminal 28 amino acids of the cytoplasmic tail led to a 4-fold reduction in these parameters. Replacement of cytoplasmic domain Tyr508 by Ala, or Tyr508 and Phe538 by Ala, reduced net endocytosis and lysosomal hydrolysis of 125I-ANF1-28 by 40-50%. Replacement of extracellular domain Cys473 by Ala impeded the constitutive formation of homodimers and reduced by approximately 50% the net ER and lysosomal hydrolysis of 125I-ANF1-28. These results demonstrate that the cytoplasmic domain of C receptors, Tyr508 within this domain, and constitutive receptor dimerization are the major molecular determinants of the clearance function of C receptors.

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a 28 amino-acid polypeptide secreted into the blood by atrial myocytes after atrial pressure and distension. Although its role in humans is not clear, it can produce a variety of physiologic effects including vasodilatation, natriuresis, and suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. These actions are potentially useful in a variety of pathologic states such as hypertension and congestive heart failure, and diverse methods to augment the effects of ANP in these states have been devised. The results are exciting and, despite some problems, may lead to the pharmacologic use of enhancement of ANP actions in several clinical disorders.

Abstract
We have observed different ATP interactions in two guanylate cyclase (GC)-coupled natriuretic peptide (NP) receptor subtypes, designated NPR-A and NPR-B. The NPR-A is selectively expressed by LLC-PK1 epithelial cells and the NPR-B by NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells. In LLC-PK1 membranes, ATP-Mg2+ potentiated ANP-stimulated GC activity (ANP-s-GC). In contrast, in NIH-3T3 membranes, ATP-Mg2+ inhibited ANP-s-GC but enhanced CNP-stimulated GC activity (CNP-s GC). ATP in the presence of Mn2+ inhibited LLC-PK1 and NIH-3T3 membrane ANP-s-GC and CNP-s-GC. These are the first data suggesting that the ATP-Mg2+ produces different effects between membrane NPR-A and -B subtypes. We have also demonstrated that GC of NPR-B is sensitive to methylene blue.

Abstract
To elucidate the physiological and pathophysiological roles of the natriuretic peptide family in vascular smooth muscle cells, in which the natriuretic peptide family is implicated in growth inhibition as well as vasorelaxation, we have examined the phenotype-related expression of three kinds of natriuretic peptide receptors in rat aortic smooth muscle cells. The expression of natriuretic peptide receptors at the mRNA level was studied by Northern blot hybridization, and the expression at the protein level was determined by the cGMP production method and receptor binding assay. In intact aortic media, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-A receptor mRNA and ANP-B receptor mRNA were detected, and the potency of cGMP production by ANP was at least two orders of magnitude stronger than that by C-type natriuretic peptide. Clearance receptor mRNA was undetectable, and only a small amount of the clearance receptor was detected by the binding assay in intact aortic media. By contrast, in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells at the first, fifth, and 17th passages, the ANP-B receptor mRNA level markedly increased; meanwhile, the expression of the ANP-A receptor mRNA became undetectable. C-type natriuretic peptide was one order of magnitude more potent than ANP in cGMP production in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells. The clearance receptor density and its mRNA level increased tremendously in these cultured cells. These results demonstrate that the marked phenotype-related alteration occurs in the expression of natriuretic peptide receptors in rat aortic smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Binding sites for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were determined on isolated rat glomeruli as well as on glomerular membranes. To define optimal conditions, binding of ANF was investigated varying incubation time, temperature and protein concentration. Binding conditions were found to be best at 4 degrees C for 5 hours with 15 micrograms of glomerular protein. Saturation and affinity cross-linking experiments confirmed the presence of two distinct receptor subtypes-the B-receptor (130 kDa) and the C-receptor (65 kDa). Quantitative differentiation of both ANF binding sites was achieved by competitive displacement with two different unlabeled ANF ligands: a) rANF(99-126) (homologous displacement), b) des(18-22)rANF(4-23)NH2 (heterologous displacement). Intact glomeruli and glomerular membranes did not differ significantly in receptor density for the B-receptor (71 +/- 37 vs. 94 +/- 53 fmol/mg protein) or the C-receptor (976 +/- 282 vs. 966 +/- 167 fmol/mg protein) or in affinity constants for the B-receptor (43 +/- 36 vs. 52 +/- 44 pM) or the C-receptor (876 +/- 377 vs. 307 +/- 36 pM). Glomerular membranes compared to glomeruli showed less nonspecific binding and less intra-assay variation of measuring points done in triplicates. This method of selective displacement should allow to study the influence of various physiological and pathophysiological conditions on the binding properties of B- and C-receptors for ANF.

Abstract
The amino acid sequence of the human atrial natriuretic peptide clearance receptor (ANP C-receptor) was deduced from the nucleotide sequence of cDNA clones obtained from human placental and kidney cDNA libraries. The human sequence is highly homologous to the bovine C-receptor sequence already described, and the corresponding mRNA is expressed in human placenta, adult and fetal kidney and fetal heart. Upon transfection of this cDNA into mammalian cells, recombinant expression experiments revealed that the human ANP C-receptor has a high affinity for ANP (6 x 10(-9) M), similar to that observed for the receptor in other species. These data indicate that the human ANP C-receptor, previously characterized in other mammalian species, is highly conserved structurally and is expressed in various human tissues.

Abstract
Analysis of [125I]-ANP binding data in an isolated bovine ventricular sarcolemmal membrane fraction revealed a single high affinity binding site (Kd approximately 5 x 10(-11) M). The ring deleted ANP analogue des [QSGLG]-ANP (4-23)-NH2 bound with a 1000-fold lower affinity indicating the absence of C-type receptors in this preparation. ANP stimulated guanylate cyclase activity by up to 2-fold with half-maximal activation at approximately 10(-9) M. Crosslinking [125I]-ANP to its receptor with disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) revealed two radiolabelled bands of 120 kDa and 65 kDa on non-denaturing SDS-PAGE. Radioactive signals from both bands were lost by reducing the sample with beta-mercaptoethanol prior to electrophoresis, in which case a radioactive fragment of less than 5 kDa migrated with the dye front. These results suggest that the binding of ANP to both high and low molecular weight "receptor" proteins may be associated with the hydrolysis of the peptide.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
In the few years since its identification, a clear role for ANP in the regulation of water and electrolyte balance has emerged (Figure 3). The peptide is released in response to blood volume expansion, both acutely and gradually during changes in dietary sodium intake. Similarly, plasma levels are elevated in pathophysiological conditions such as cardiac and renal failure. It has become apparent that ANP has natriuretic, diuretic and vasorelaxant properties. Many of the original studies employed what we now know to be pharmacological doses of the peptide. However, recent reports have confirmed that small, sustained elevations in plasma ANP within or marginally above the 'normal' physiological range produce similar effects. A number of recent studies have tried to specifically address the physiological relevance of ANP. Although undoubtedly release by atrial distension and effective when infused to similar concentrations, atrial distension also has other effects via neural pathways. Thus, the demonstration that excretion of saline is impaired by atrial appendectomy (Benjamin et al, 1988) does not imply that this is only due to the absence of an atrial hormone. Goetz et al (1986) demonstrated that in the denervated heart, although ANP is still released, the excretion of a saline load is impaired. Similarly, in man, Richards et al (1988a) needed to infuse ANP to much higher plasma levels than those achieved by a saline load in order to reproduce the natriuresis. Although these experiments can be criticized, they confirm that ANP is not the sole mechanism for excreting a volume load, or for the natriuresis following atrial distension, but that these effects are likely to reflect the balance between ANP, AVP, the renin-angiotensin and autonomic nervous systems. In rats immunized against ANP (Greenwald et al, 1988), although the ability to excrete an acute saline load was impaired, long-term sodium balance was normal, suggesting that the rats were able to compensate for the absence of ANP. Many of the actions of ANP can be explained by antagonism of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Teleologically, it seems appropriate that a natriuretic hormone should counterbalance the major pressor and antinatriuretic hormones within the body. There is good evidence for cellular interactions between angiotensin, AVP, aldosterone and ANP at a number of discrete sites which are additional to the straightforward physiological antagonism of systems with opposing actions. ANP inhibits aldosterone secretion directly and may also reduce renal renin release. In the vascular tree there is evidence that ANP specifically blocks the vasoconstrictor actions of angiotensin II and possibly AVP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
