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
At birth, release of endogenous vasodilators such as nitric oxide and prostacyclin facilitate pulmonary vasodilation via the cyclic nucleotides, cGMP and cAMP. Interaction of cyclic nucleotides and platelet-activating factor (PAF)-mediated responses in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle is not known. We studied the effects of cGMP and cAMP on PAF-mediated responses in ovine fetal intrapulmonary venous smooth muscle cells. Studies were done in hypoxia or normoxia with buffer with 8-Br-cGMP (BGMP) and 8-Br-cAMP (BAMP), as well as cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitors. All groups were treated with 1 nM PAF and incubated for 30 min for the binding assay or 20 min for measurement of inositol 1,4,5-phosphate (IP(3)) production. BGMP and BAMP decreased PAF binding in normoxia by 63 and 14%, respectively. Incubations with the PKG inhibitor Rp-8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate sodium and the PKA inhibitor Rp-adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate abrogated the inhibitory effects of BGMP and BAMP. PAF-stimulated IP(3) production was 8565 +/- 314 dpm/10(6) cells in hypoxia and 5418 +/- 118 dpm/10(6) cells in normoxia, a 40% decrease. BGMP attenuated PAF-stimulated IP(3) production by 67 and 37% in hypoxia and normoxia, respectively; the value for BAMP was 44% under both conditions. Pretreatment with PKG or PKA inhibitor abrogated BGMP and BAMP inhibition of IP(3) release. PAF receptor (PAFr) protein expression decreased in normoxia, but pretreatment with 10 nM PAF up-regulated PAFr expression. Pretreatment with PAF decreased expression and activities of PKG or PKA proteins in normoxia and hypoxia. Our data demonstrate the existence of cGMP/cAMP-PAF cross-talk in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells, which may be one mechanism by which PAFr-mediated vasoconstriction is down-regulated at birth.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) has been implicated in the control of vascular tone and mitogenesis in the adult pulmonary vasculature, but little is known about the role of PKC in the neonatal pulmonary vasculature. In addition, the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) is important in the transition of the pulmonary circulation from fetal to postnatal life, and it is thought that attenuated production of NO and therefore, cGMP may contribute to the pathophysiology of a variety of forms of neonatal pulmonary vascular disease states. Although evidence exists for an interaction between PKC and NO in the adult pulmonary vasculature, the identification of specific roles for PKC in neonatal pulmonary vascular smooth muscle (NPVSM) has not been determined, and no studies have been done on the modulation of cGMP by PKC in NPVSM. Accordingly, immunoblot analysis revealed the expression of the alpha, delta, epsilon, and iota PKC isozymes in NPVSM. Treatment of NPVSM with 10 nM 4-beta phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), a PKC activator, induced translocation of PKCalpha, and PKCdelta from the soluble to the particulate fraction, while exposure to 10 nM endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor and mitogenic substance, caused translocation of PKCdelta and PKCiota from the soluble to the particulate fraction. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) significantly increased intracellular cGMP levels, an effect attenuated by PMA but not by ET-1. In addition, pretreatment with the specific PKC isozyme antagonist Go 6983 blocked the effect of PMA on cGMP levels. Collectively, these data demonstrate the expression and activation of multiple PKC isozymes in NPVSM, and indicate that PKC inhibits SNP-stimulated cGMP production in NPVSM. These data also suggest that complex intracellular signaling pathways by specific PKC isozymes may be important in the development of neonatal pulmonary vascular function.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides bind their cognate cell surface guanylyl cyclase receptors and elevate intracellular cGMP concentrations. In vascular smooth muscle cells, this results in the activation of the type I cGMP-dependent protein kinase and vasorelaxation. In contrast, pressor hormones like arginine-vasopressin, angiotensin II, and endothelin bind serpentine receptors that interact with G(q) and activate phospholipase Cbeta. The products of this enzyme, diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate, activate the conventional and novel forms of protein kinase C (PKC) and elevate intracellular calcium concentrations, respectively. The latter response results in vasoconstriction, which opposes the actions of natriuretic peptides. Previous reports have shown that pressor hormones inhibit natriuretic peptide receptors NPR-A or NPR-B in a variety of different cell types. Although the mechanism for this inhibition remains unknown, it has been universally accepted that PKC is an obligatory component of this pathway primarily because pharmacologic activators of PKC mimic the inhibitory effects of these hormones. Here, we show that in A10 vascular smooth muscle cells, neither chronic PKC down-regulation nor specific PKC inhibitors block the AVP-dependent desensitization of NPR-B even though both processes block PKC-dependent desensitization. In contrast, the cell-permeable calcium chelator, BAPTA-AM (1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, tetraacetoxymethyl ester), abrogates the AVP-dependent desensitization of NPR-B, and ionomycin, a calcium ionophore, mimics the AVP effect. These data show that the inositol trisphosphate/calcium arm of the phospholipase C pathway mediates the desensitization of a natriuretic peptide receptor in A10 cells. In addition, we report that CNP attenuates AVP-dependent elevations in intracellular calcium concentrations. Together, these data reveal a dominant role for intracellular calcium in the reciprocal regulation of these two important vasoactive signaling systems.

Abstract
The ability to both sensitize and desensitize a guanylyl cyclase receptor has not been previously accomplished in a broken cell or membrane preparation. The guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A) receptor is known to require both atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and an adenine nucleotide for maximal cyclase activation. When membranes from NIH 3T3 cells stably overexpressing GC-A were incubated with ATP, AMPPNP, or ATPgammaS, only ATPgammaS dramatically potentiated ANP-dependent cyclase activity. When the membranes were incubated with ATPgammaS and then washed, GC-A now became sensitive to ANP/AMPPNP stimulation, suggestive that thiophosphorylation had sensitized GC-A to ligand and adenine nucleotide binding. Consistent with this hypo- thesis, the ATPgammaS effects were both time- and concentration-dependent. Protein phosphatase stability of thiophosphorylation (ATPgammaS) relative to phosphorylation (ATP) appeared to explain the differential effects of the two nucleotides since microcystin, beta-glycerol phosphate, or okadaic acid coincident with ATP or ATPgammaS effectively sensitized GC-A to ligand stimulation over prolonged periods of time in either case. GC-A was phosphorylated in the presence of [gamma32P]ATP, and the magnitude of the phosphorylation was increased by the addition of microcystin. Thus, the phosphorylation of GC-A correlates with the acquisition of ligand sensitivity. The establishment of an in vitro system to sensitize GC-A demonstrates that adenine nucleotides have a daul function in the regulation of GC-A through both phosphorylation of and binding to regulatory sites.

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
The heat-stable enterotoxin STa of E. coli causes diarrhea by binding to and stimulating intestinal membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase, triggering production of cyclic GMP. Agents which stimulate protein kinase C (PKC), including phorbol esters, synergistically enhance STa effects on cGMP and secretion. We investigated whether PKC causes phosphorylation of the STa receptor in vivo and in vitro. Immunoprecipitation of the STa receptor-guanylyl cyclase was carried out from extracts of T84 colon cells metabolically labelled with [32P]-phosphate using polyclonal anti-STa receptor antibody. The STa receptor was phosphorylated in its basal state, and 32P content in the 150 kDa holoreceptor band increased 2-fold in cells exposed to phorbol ester for 1 h. In vitro, immunopurified STa receptor was readily phosphorylated by purified rat brain PKC. Phosphorylation was inhibited 40% by 5 microM of a synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence around Ser1029 of the STa receptor, a site previously proposed as a potential PKC phosphorylation site. Treatment of the immunopurified STaR/GC with purified PKC increased STa-stimulated guanylyl cyclase activity 2-fold. We conclude that PKC phosphorylates and activates the STa receptor/guanylyl cyclase in vitro and in vivo; Ser1029 of the STaR/GC remains a candidate phosphorylation site by PKC.

Abstract
To characterize Ser1029 in STaR at a consensus sequence of phosphorylation site by PKC, two mutants of mS1029A with replacement of Ser1029 to Ala1029 and C delta 1029 lacking 22 amino acids including Ser1029 were prepared. Preincubation of the wild type-STaR (wt-STaR) transfectant with 1 microM PMA caused additional STa-mediated guanylyl cyclase (GC) activation compared to control, whereas the mS1029A- and C delta 1029-transfected cells did not show a similar enhanced GC activation by PMA. After metabolic labeling with [32P]phosphate, transfected cells with wt-STaR and mutants were incubated with 1 microM PMA. Subsequent 32P-radiolabeled proteins were immunoprecipitated using anti-STaR antibody, and analyzed by autoradiography after separation on SDS-PAGE. The immunoprecipitated wt-STaR but not mS1029A and C delta 1029 had a significant radioactivity. These results suggest that the effect of PMA on wt-STaR transfectants may be caused by phosphorylation of Ser1029. The C delta 1012 mutant, with further truncation (Gln1012-Phe1050) of the carboxy terminus, did not show STa-mediated GC activation. Based on these data, these 17 amino acids (Gln1012-Ala1028), essential for signaling of GC activation by STa, have an abundance of basic amino acids which might be functionally influenced by phosphorylation of Ser1029.

Abstract
How 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin (Io), a calcium ionophore, affect on the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) stimulated cyclic-3',5'-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production in cultured rat mesangial cells was examined. Cultured mesangial cells were prepared by isolated glomeruli from Sprague Dawley rats employing the sieving method and were used between the 3rd and 15th passage for experiments. cGMP and protein contents were measured by radioimmunoassay and Lowry method. Incubations with effectors were carried out either in the presence or absence of 0.5 mM 1-methyl-3-isobutyl-xanthine (MIX). The intracellular concentration of calcium ([Ca2+]i) was determined by using the Fura-2 method. Pretreatment with PMA, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), attenuated ANP stimulated cGMP production in a time- and dose-dependent fashion, while alpha PDD (an inactive analog of PMA) did not inhibit cGMP production. PMA inhibition was reversed by addition of staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor. Io attenuated ANP stimulated cGMP production in the absence but not in the presence of MIX. These findings suggested that PMA acts on ANP receptor or guanylate cyclase via activation of PKC in rat mesangial cells. Io may inhibit ANP stimulated cGMP production via activation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

Abstract
The St. Peter Hospital Kidney Dialysis Center began a peritoneal dialysis home training program in 1988, and demonstrated steady growth until the end of its sixth year at which time the census plummeted. Peritoneal dialysis staff sought to determine a cause for the reduction in census by evaluating the reasons for drop-out. They concluded that drop-out rates were not unexpected or unusual and that maintenance and referrals are influenced by: (a) patient predialysis education and (b) continual conversation and collaboration between the nephrologists and peritoneal dialysis home training staff.

Abstract
In bovine lung membranes, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) showed temperature-dependent binding to guanylate cyclase-natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR-GC). Photoaffinity labeling of the receptors with 4-azidobenzoyl (AZB)-125I-ANP and competitive binding studies with 125I-ANP, ANP, and atriopeptin I (API) revealed that NPR-GC was detected as the predominant ANP-binding protein at 0 degrees C, whereas at 37 degrees C natriuretic peptide clearance receptor (NPR-C) was detected as the predominant protein. The ratio of NPR-GC and NPR-C was 89:11 at 0 degrees C for 40 min, respectively, whereas 6:94 at 37 degrees C. AZB-125I-ANP bound to NPR-GC dissociated from the binding site within 5 min at 37 degrees C but not at 0 degrees C, whereas ANP bound to NPR-C did not dissociate from the binding site at 0 and 37 degrees C. The dissociated AZB-125I-ANP rapidly rebound to NPR-GC at 37 degrees C but not to NPR-C, and the dissociated NPR-GC was capable of binding. Some AZB-125I-ANP was hydrolyzed by a membrane-bound proteinase(s). Phosphoramidon inhibited the hydrolysis of AZB-125I-ANP. Thus, the dissociated AZB-125I-ANP rebound to NPR-GC and NPR-C. These results suggest that usually intact ANP repeatedly binds to NPR-GC until hydrolysis. Furthermore, the majority of ANP bind to NPR-GC before binding to NPR-C under physiological temperature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Vasodilator hormones that regulate hepatic circulation at physiological concentrations have not been sufficiently identified. The presence of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and its receptors in the hepatic vascular bed suggest such vasorelaxing potential. METHODS Livers of male Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused in a flow-constant fashion. The selective alpha 1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (PE) (1.5 mumol/L) was infused from 30 to 36 minutes and again from 70 to 76 minutes after starting perfusion (n = 5). ANP (0.1 pmol/L to 200 nmol/L), des-(Gln18, Ser19, Gly20, Leu21, Gly22)-ANP fragment (C-ANP) (20 nmol/L), or 8-bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP) (50 mumol/L) (each n = 4) were added from 20 to 40 minutes. RESULTS During the first infusion of PE, portal pressure increased from 3.7 +/- 0.5 to 12.1 +/- 0.8 cm H2O maximally (mean +/- SD) and increased again to 11.5 +/- 2.0 during the second PE infusion. ANP at physiological concentrations reduced both PE-induced increases of portal pressure in a dose-dependent fashion, reaching half-maximal effects around 20 pmol/L and maximal effects (about 50% inhibition of PE-induced vasoconstriction) at 40 pmol/L. The cGMP analogue 8-Br-cGMP showed the same long-lasting vasodilating effect as ANP. In contrast, C-ANP, which binds only to the ANP C-receptor, had no effects. CONCLUSIONS Physiological concentrations of ANP antagonize alpha 1-adrenergic vasoconstriction in the liver, suggesting an important function in the humoral regulation of hepatic circulation. The prolonged hemodynamic effect of ANP seems to be ANP A-receptor/guanylyl cyclase/cGMP-mediated.

Abstract
To clarify the intracellular signalling mechanisms of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), we studied its effect on protein phosphorylation in plasma membranes of bovine adrenal cortical cells. ANF (1 x 10(-7) M) inhibited phosphorylation of the 78-kDa protein kinase C (PKC) and a 240-kDa protein in specific manner. In parallel experiments, cGMP (0.5 mM) inhibited phosphorylation of only the 78-kDa PKC but it did not affect phosphorylation of the 240-kDa protein. Phosphorylation of the 78-kDa PKC was enhanced in a Ca(2+)-/phospholipid-dependent manner. However, after prolonged preincubation of plasma membranes with Ca2+ (0.5 mM), the incorporation of 32P-radioactivity rapidly decreased in the 78-kDa PKC and subsequently increased in the 45- and 48-kDa protein bands due to Ca(2+)-dependent proteolytic degradation of 78-kDa PKC. Polyclonal antibodies against brain PKC were used to immunoblot and immunoprecipitate the 78-kDa PKC. Preincubation of plasma membranes with Ca2+ for varying times, followed by immunoblotting revealed a gradual loss of the immunoreactive 78-kDa PKC band in a time-dependent manner. Immunoprecipitation of phosphorylated 78-kDa PKC in plasma membranes showed that its phosphorylation was significantly inhibited in the presence of ANF as compared to control membranes, phosphorylated in the absence of ANF. The results in this present study document a new signal transduction mechanism of ANF at molecular level which possibly involves dephosphorylation of the 78-kDa PKC and a 240-kDa protein in a cGMP-dependent and -independent manner in bovine adrenal glomerulosa cell membranes.

Abstract
We examined adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), pertussis toxin (PT) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, modulation of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-stimulated cell-membrane guanylate cyclase (ANP-s-GC) activity and ANP stimulation of whole-cell cGMP accumulation (ANP-s-cGMP) in an ANP-receptor-transduction cell model, the human renal cell line (SK-NEP-1). Acute and long-term effects of PMA on PKC isotype activity are different: Acute (20-min) PMA activation of PKC inhibits ANP-s-cGMP and ANP-s-GC; whereas, long-term (36-h) PMA treatment inhibits slightly less by only partially down-regulating PKC activity, the type-III PKC isotype being 36-h resistant. Long-term 10(-7)M PMA treatment of cells neither affected membrane basal GC activity nor ANP-s-GC activity but partially inhibited ATP enhancement of ANP-s-GC. This partial inhibition was completely reversed by the PKC inhibitor H7 and a PKC inhibitory antibody but only partially reversed by the antibody to the catalytic domain of PKC type III. The EC50 for ATP and its non-phosphorylating analog ATP gamma S in the presence of acute PMA inhibition of ANP-s-cGMP was similar (approximately 10(-9)). This enhancement of PMA inhibition was two orders of magnitude more sensitive (EC50 10(-7)M) than inhibition of ANP-s-cGMP that we previously reported for acute PMA treatment of whole SK-NEP-1 cells. The three- to four-fold ATP enhancement of cell membrane ANP-s-GC was not blocked by 12-hour preincubation of cells with 150 ng/mL PT but was completely blocked if 2-x-10(-7)M PMA was then added for 20 minutes, indicating that acute activation of PKC by PMA does not require a functional "G-type" protein. Acute PMA inhibition of ANP-s-cGMP was reversed by permeabilizing SK-NEP-1 cells to a specific PKC inhibitory peptide, further confirming that PMA inhibition was mediated through PKC activation. These data demonstrated that ANP-s-GC and ANP-s-cGMP were modified through non-phosphorylating interactions with ATP, by multiple PMA activatable PKC isoforms, and that neither were affected by PT-sensitive guanine-nucleotide-binding (G)-protein(s).

Abstract
The endothelial cell has a unique intrinsic feature: it produces a most potent vasopressor peptide hormone, endothelin (ET-1), yet it also contains a signaling system of an equally potent hypotensive hormone, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). This raises two related curious questions: does the endothelial cell also contain an ET-1 signaling system? If yes, how do the two systems interact with each other? The present investigation was undertaken to determine such a possibility. Bovine pulmonary artery endothelial (BPAE) cells were chosen as a model system. Identity of the ANF receptor guanylate cyclase was probed with a specific polyclonal antibody to the 180 kDa membrane guanylate cyclase (mGC) ANF receptor. A Western-blot analysis of GTP-affinity-purified endothelial cell membrane proteins recognized a 180 kDa band; the same antibody inhibited the ANF-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity; the ANF-dependent rise of cyclic GMP in the intact cells was dose-dependent. By affinity cross-linking technique, a predominant 55 kDa membrane protein band was specifically labeled with [125I]ET-1. ET-1 treatment of the cells showed a migration of the protein kinase C (PKC) activity from cytosol to the plasma membrane; ET-1 inhibited the ANF-dependent production of cyclic GMP in a dose-dependent fashion with an EC50 of 100 nM. This inhibitory effect was duplicated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a known PKC-activator. The EC50 of PMA was 5 nM. A PKC inhibitor, 1-(5-isoquinolinyl-sulfonyl)-2-methyl piperazine (H-7), blocked the PMA-dependent attenuation of ANF-dependent cyclic GMP formation. These results demonstrate that the 180 kDa mGC-coupled ANF and ET-1 signaling systems coexist in endothelial cells and that the ET-1 signal negates the ANF-dependent guanylate cyclase activity and cyclic GMP formation. Furthermore, these results support the paracrine and/or autocrine role of ET-1.

Abstract
It has been reported that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) produces inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether diacylglycerol produced by ANP affects ANP-induced cyclic GMP (cGMP) accumulation through the activation of protein kinase C. Short-term (15 min) treatment of rat aortic VSMC with protein kinase C activating phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 100 nM) decreased ANP (100 nM)-induced cGMP accumulation by 34.7% in the presence of IBMX (0.5 mM). However, the long-term (24 h) treatment to decrease the activity of protein kinase C led to an enhancement of the cGMP accumulation by 69.6% compared with that of control VSMC. There were no significant differences in Bmax and Kd for ANP and ANP-dependent particular guanylyl cyclase activity between long-term PMA-treated and control VSMC. In the present study, we show that the activation of protein kinase C attenuates the cGMP accumulation induced by ANP and that down-regulation of protein kinase C results in an enhancement of the cGMP accumulation. These data are consistent with the role of protein kinase C as a negative regulator in ANP-receptor/guanylyl cyclase pathway.

Abstract
The heat-stable enterotoxin of Escherichia coli (STa) stimulates membrane-bound guanylate cyclase in intestinal epithelium and induces fluid and ion secretion. Using the T84 human colon carcinoma cell line as a model, we observed that phorbol esters markedly enhanced STa-stimulated cyclic GMP accumulation in T84 cells (C. S. Weikel, C. L. Spann, C. P. Chambers, J. K. Crane, J. Linden, and E. L. Hewlett, Infect. Immun. 58:1402-1407, 1990). In this study we document that the phorbol ester treatment increases 125I-STa-binding sites as well as membrane-bound guanylate cyclase activity in T84 cells and provide evidence that both effects are mediated by phosphorylation. Guanylate cyclase activity was increased approximately 50% in membranes prepared from intact T84 cells treated with phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (beta-PDB) and after treatment of homogenates with beta-PDB in a manner dependent on ATP, MgCl2, and cytosol. Similarly, treatment of membranes with purified bovine brain protein kinase C in the presence of appropriate cofactors and beta-PDB resulted in an increase in STa-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity of about 70%. Likewise, the number of 125I-STa-binding sites was increased by about 25 to 40% in membranes prepared from intact cells or homogenates treated with beta-PDB; no effect on binding affinity (Kd = 0.15 nM) was noted. These experiments suggest that protein kinase C may phosphorylate the STa receptor-guanylate cyclase or a closely related protein and increase guanylate cyclase activity. The stimulatory effects of protein kinase C on STa-sensitive guanylate cyclase are opposite in direction to the profound inhibitory effects of the kinase on atrial natriuretic peptide-stimulated guanylate cyclase, demonstrating differential regulation by protein kinases within the guanylate cyclase-receptor family.

Abstract
The 130 kDa atrial natriuretic factor receptor (ANF-R1) purified from bovine adrenal zona glomerulosa is phosphorylated in vitro by serine/threonine protein kinases such as cAMP-, cGMP-dependent and protein kinase C. This phosphorylation is independent of the presence of ANF (99-126) and there is no detectable intrinsic kinase activity associated with the ANF-R1 receptor or with its activated form. In bovine adrenal zona glomerulosa cells, TPA (phorbol ester) induces a marked inhibition of the ANF-stimulated cGMP accumulation as well as of the membrane ANF-sensitive guanylate cyclase catalytic activity without any change in the binding capacity or affinity for 125I-ANF. However, we have demonstrated a significant 32P incorporation in the ANF-R1 receptor of the TPA-treated cells. The effect of TPA on the zona glomerulosa ANF-R1 receptors was abolished by calphostin C, a specific protein kinase C inhibitor. Altered ANF actions due to blunted response of guanylate cyclase to ANF could be a consequence of the ANF receptor phosphorylation by excessive activity of protein kinase C and might be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) inhibits aldosterone secretion evoked by its physiological secretagogues by a mechanism(s) likely to involve intracellular messengers. When one examines the results of various investigations so far, this premise, although not definitive yet, seems to be supported. Therefore a brief perspective on the cellular messengers of the various secretagogues is provided before the inquiry into the possible mechanism of action of ANP. The receptors of ANP in the adrenal cells have been identified and characterized. ANP inhibits adenylate cyclase in various tissues through an inhibitory G protein, which appears to explain in part the inhibitory effect of ANP on adrenocorticotropin-induced aldosterone secretion. However, there could be other possible effects of ANP as discussed. ANP probably inhibits aldosterone secretion evoked by angiotensin II and potassium by interfering with the appropriate changes in calcium flux and cell calcium concentration, concomitants of stimulation by these secretagogues. The potential modes of these effects are probed. The role of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, which is increased by receptor activation of guanylate cyclase by ANP and is thought to play a major role in the biological effects of ANP in some other tissues, remains controversial in the aldosterone-lowering effect of ANP, and this is also discussed extensively in this review.

Abstract
We examined calcium and calmodulin regulation of atrial natriuretic factor stimulation of particulate-membrane guanylate cyclase (ANF-s-GC) in SK-NEP-1 cells. W7 and trifluoropiperazine, but not W5, inhibited whole cellular ANF-stimulated cyclic GMP accumulation (ANF-s-cGMP). EGTA and LaCl3 decreased ANF-s-GC and calmodulin reversed this inhibition. A23187-induced inhibition of ANF-s-cGMP was only partly reversible by IBMX. H7 or staurosporine counteracted the inhibitory effect of A23187. Calcium inhibited basal and ANF-s-GC. These data suggest that at low concentrations of calcium, ANF-s-GC was calcium-calmodulin dependent but high concentrations of calcium inhibited ANF-s-GC through phosphodiesterase, through inhibition of GC, and probably through protein kinase C.

Abstract
We investigated regulation of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)-stimulated cellular cGMP accumulation (ANF-s-cGMP) in an ANF-responsive human renal cell line, SK-NEP-1. Dose-response data indicated that the EC50 for ANF(99-126) was 1.1 x 10(-9) M. Brain natriuretic peptide (10(-6) M) increased cGMP to a level indistinguishable from that of ANF (10(-6) M). [Met-(O)]ANF was only half as potent as ANF, and atriopeptin I (10(-6) M) did not increase cGMP over basal levels. Preincubation of SK-NEP-1 cells with ANF, but not atriopeptin I (API), for two hours or longer, caused a concentration-dependent down-regulation of ANF-s-cGMP. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, and A23187 and its 4-bromo derivative, calcium ionophores, inhibited ANF-s-cGMP in a dose-dependent manner. A23187 inhibition was calcium dependent and promoted net cGMP degradation. Thirty-six hour preincubation with PMA, a procedure used to down-regulate PKC, abolished acute PMA inhibition of ANF-s-cGMP without having an effect on ANF-s-cGMP or on 4-bromo-A23187 inhibition thereof. These data indicate that PKC activation specifically inhibited ANF-s-cGMP but that PKC was not required for ANF-s-cGMP in SK-NEP-1 cells. Thus structurally related ANF peptides, protein kinase C (PKC) activators, calcium ionophores are potential modulators of ANF-s-cGMP in cells from this human renal cell line.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the effects of calmodulin, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and pertussis toxin (PT) on phorbol ester (PMA) (a protein kinase C activator) induced inhibition of ANF-stimulated cyclic GMP formation in cells from the human renal cell line, SK-NEP-1. PMA inhibited ANF-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity in particulate membranes by about 65%. Calmodulin reversed this inhibition in a dose dependent manner. ATP potentiated Mg++ but not Mn++ supported guanylate cyclase activity. In PMA treated membranes, ATP potentiating effects were abolished. PMA also inhibited ANF-stimulated cGMP accumulation, but pretreatment with PT prevented this PMA inhibition. PT did not affect basal or ANF-stimulated cGMP accumulation. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that PMA (activated protein kinase C) inhibited ANF stimulation of particulate guanylate cyclase in opposition to the activating effects of calmodulin or ATP in SK-NEP-1 cells. The protein kinase C inhibitory effects appeared to be mediated via a PT-sensitive G protein.

Abstract
The putative 'second messenger' of certain atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) signal transductions is cyclic GMP. Recently, we purified a 180-kDa protein, apparently containing both ANF receptor and guanylate cyclase activities, and hypothesized that this is one of the cyclic GMP transmembrane signal transducers. The enzyme is ubiquitous and appears to be conserved. Utilizing the 180-kDa membrane guanylate cyclase, we now show that the 180-kDa guanylate cyclase is regulated in opposing fashions by two receptor signals--ANF stimulating it and protein kinase C inhibiting it. Furthermore, protein kinase C phosphorylates the 180-kDa enzyme. This suggests a novel 'switch on' and 'switch off' mechanism of the cyclic GMP signal transduction. 'Switch off' represents the phosphorylation while 'switch on' the dephosphorylation of the enzyme.

Abstract
ANF can potentially elicit vasorelaxation in vitro which is typically associated with an elevation in tissue levels of cGMP. Hypotension with vasodilation can be observed upon injection of ANF in vivo, however, infusion of the peptide often results in a decreased blood pressure due to a fall in cardiac output, This apparent discrepancy may reflect some of the distinguishing characteristics of ANF-induced vasorelaxation which include activation of particulate guanylate cyclase, a marked regional vascular selectivity, species differences in the relaxation profile and a variable sensitivity depending on the type and degree of contractile preload.

Abstract
In this commentary, we will briefly discuss the potential regulatory role of atrial natriuretic factor in peripheral autonomic nervous system function. The focus will be on atrial natriuretic factor's involvement in cardiovascular homeostasis through its peripheral effect on sympathetic nervous activity, which may complement its humoral role. [Kuchel et al. (1987) Life Sci. 40, 1545-1551; Lang et al. (1985) Nature 314, 264-266]. We will attempt to support the hypothesis of its neuromodulatory action on efferent autonomic outflow. Specifically, the role of atrial natriuretic factor in the regulation of the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters and in synaptic transmission at the level of the sympathetic ganglia will be outlined. Its potential usefulness in neurobiological studies will also be indicated.

Abstract
Maitotoxin (MTX) activates calcium channels and stimulates phosphoinositide breakdown in pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, while having no effect on basal levels of the cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP. Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) induces a dose-dependent accumulation of cGMP in PC12 cells through the activation of a membrane bound guanylate cyclase. Effects of ANF on cGMP are independent of extracellular concentrations of calcium. Since agents that activate phosphoinositide breakdown can indirectly affect cyclic nucleotide formation, the effects of MTX on ANF-mediated accumulation of cGMP was studied. MTX induces a dose-dependent inhibition of ANF-mediated accumulation of cGMP. The inhibition by MTX requires the presence of extracellular calcium, but is unaffected by the calcium channel blocker nifedipine. The inhibitory effect of MTX is not mimicked by the calcium ionophore ionomycin. A phorbol ester, PMA, which stimulates protein kinase C, also inhibits ANF-mediated accumulation of cGMP. Sodium nitroprusside induces large accumulations of cGMP in PC12 cells through the stimulation of a soluble guanylate cyclase. Neither MTX nor PMA inhibit nitroprusside-mediated accumulation of cGMP. The results indicate that in PC12 cells, protein kinase C activation, either directly with PMA, and indirectly with MTX through phosphoinositide breakdown and formation of diacylglycerol, leads to inhibition of ANF-mediated, but not nitroprusside-mediated accumulation of cGMP.

Abstract
Treatment of rat thoracic aortic smooth muscle cells (A-10) with sodium fluoride (NaF) resulted in inhibition of beta-adrenergic agonist--and forskolin-induced cAMP and ANF-induced cGMP accumulation and stimulation of diacylglycerol (DAG) accumulation. The concentration of NaF and treatment times required to mediate these inhibitory effects were similar to those observed for stimulation of DAG accumulation. Treatment of the cells with NaF also resulted in a loss of [3H]phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu) binding in the cytosolic portion of the cells. In addition, pre-treatment of the cells with NaF resulted in an increase in the adenylate cyclase activity. Pertussis toxin (PT) pre-treatment of the cells did not significantly affect NaF-mediated effects. Pre-treatment of the cells with protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor staurosporin partially reversed NaF-mediated inhibition of cyclic nucleotides accumulation. These data suggest that inhibition of the formation of agonist-induced cyclic nucleotides by NaF may be due to the formation of DAG and cAMP which lead to the activation of PKC and cAMP-PK, resulting in phosphorylation of key regulatory protein(s) in the cyclic nucleotides pathway.

Abstract
The patch-clamp technique was used to examine the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and its second messenger guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) on an amiloride-sensitive cation channel in the apical membrane of renal inner medullary collecting duct cells. Both ANP (10(-11) M) and dibutyryl guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (10(-4) M) inhibited the channel in cell-attached patches, and cGMP (10(-5) M) inhibited the channel in inside-out patches. The inner medullary collecting duct is the first tissue in which ANP, via its second messenger cGMP, has been shown to regulate single ion channels. The results suggest that the natriuretic action of ANP is related in part to cGMP-mediated inhibition of electrogenic Na+ absorption by the inner medullary collecting duct.

(2) The predominant effect of the PKC activator, phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDB), was to change the time course of the response to substance P. While the initial peak contraction was hardly influenced by PDB, the fading of the contraction was accelerated to an extent that any tonic contraction which normally followed the initial peak response was prevented. This inhibitory effect of PDB on the tonic contraction was immediate in onset and related to its concentration (20-200 nM); responses to half-maximally (2-7 nM) or maximally effective (0.74 microM) concentrations of substance P were affected in the same manner. Tetrodotoxin (0.6 microM) did not alter the effect of PDB. Phorbol-13-monoacetate (2 microM), a phorbol ester which does not stimulate PKC, failed to change the time course of the substance P-induced contraction. (3) The tonic component of half-maximal contractile responses to histamine (0.2-0.4 microM) was also depressed by PDB (0.2 microM) whereas the tonic component of maximal responses to histamine (9 microM) was enhanced. (4) PDB (0.2 microM) reduced desensitization to substance P as judged by the reduction of the peak response to substance P (2-7 nM) following a 10-min exposure to a high concentration of the peptide (0.74 microM). (5) The PKC inhibitor, polymyxin B (0.1-0.3 mM), reduced the peak contractile response to substance P, slowed the fading of the contraction, and antagonized the inhibitory effect of PDB on the tonic contraction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The nature and regulation of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-sensitive guanylate cyclase in rat renal glomerular membranes was examined. By affinity crosslinking techniques, three bands with apparent molecular masses of 180, 130 and 64 kDa were specifically labeled with [125I]ANP. A specific antibody to the 180 kDa membrane guanylate cyclase of rat adrenocortical carcinoma recognized a 180 kDa band on Western blot analysis of solubilized, GTP-affinity purified glomerular membrane proteins. The same antibody completely inhibited ANP-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity in glomerular membrane fractions. Partially purified protein kinase C inhibited ANP-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity in glomerular membrane fractions. It is concluded that a 180 kDa ANP-sensitive guanylate cyclase is present in glomerular membranes, and that this enzyme is inhibited directly by protein kinase C.

Abstract
alpha 2-adrenergic receptor-mediated signal transduction in rat adrenocortical carcinoma cells occurs through the opposing regulation of two second messengers, cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP, in which guanylate cyclase is coupled positively and adenylate cyclase negatively to the receptor signal. We now show that in these cells phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a known activator of protein kinase C, inhibits the alpha 2-agonist (p-aminoclodine)-dependent production of cyclic GMP in a dose-dependent and time-dependent fashion. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration of PMA was 10(-10) M. A protein kinase C inhibitor, 1-(5-isoquinolinyl-sulfonyl)-2-methyl piperazine (H-7), caused the release of the PMA-dependent attenuation of p-aminoclodine-stimulated cyclic GMP formation. These results suggest that protein kinase C negatively regulates the alpha 2-receptor coupled cyclic GMP system in these cells, a feature apparently shared with the other cyclic GMP-coupled receptors such as those of muscarine, histamine, and atrial natriuretic factor.

Abstract
Using cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), the effect of protein kinase C activation on rat atrial natriuretic peptide (rANP) receptors and its effector system was studied. Tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) induced a time- and temperature-dependent decrease of 125I-rANP binding to VSMC. TPA and phorbol dibutyrate inhibited the binding in a dose-related manner, whereas biologically inactive beta-phorbol was ineffective. Pretreatment of VSMC with TPA resulted in a marked reduction (50-70%) of rANP binding capacity without a significant change of its binding affinity. TPA pretreatment also induced attenuation of rANP-induced cGMP generation without affecting its basal levels. These data suggest that protein kinase C may be involved in the mechanism of heterologous down-regulation of vascular ANP receptors/guanylate cyclase system.
