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
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and its cognate receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) B, have been shown to promote cGMP production in granulosa/cumulus cells. Once transferred to the oocyte through the gap junctions, the cGMP inhibits oocyte meiotic resumption. CNP has been shown to bind another natriuretic receptor, NPR-C. NPR-C is known to interact with and degrade bound CNP, and has been reported to possess signaling functions. Therefore, NPR-C could participate in the control of oocyte maturation during swine in vitro maturation (IVM). Here, we examine the effect of CNP signaling on meiotic resumption, the amount of cGMP and gap junctional communication (GJC) regulation during swine IVM. The results show an inhibitory effect of CNP in inhibiting oocyte meiotic resumption in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated IVM. We also found that an NPR-C-specific agonist (cANP([4-23])) is likely to play a role in maintaining meiotic arrest during porcine IVM when in the presence of a suboptimal dose of CNP. Moreover, we show that, even if CNP can increase intracellular concentration of cGMP in cumulus-oocyte complexes, cANP((4-23)) had no impact on cGMP concentration, suggesting a potential cGMP-independent signaling pathway related to NPR-C activation. These data support a potential involvement of cANP((4-23)) through NPR-C in inhibiting oocyte meiotic resumption while in the presence of a suboptimal dose of CNP. The regulation of GJC was not altered by CNP, cANP((4-23)), or the combination of CNP and cANP((4-23)), supporting their potential contribution in sending signals to the oocytes. These findings offer promising insights in to new elements of the signaling pathways that may be involved in inhibiting resumption of meiosis during FSH-stimulated swine IVM.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NPs), including atrial, brain and C-type NPs, are a family of structurally related but genetically distinct peptides. These peptides, along with their receptors (NPRs), are long known to be involved in the regulation of various physiological functions, such as diuresis, natriuresis, and blood flow. Recently, abundant evidence shows that NPs and NPRs are widely distributed in the central nervous system (CNS), suggesting possible roles of NPs in modulating physiological functions of the CNS. This review starts with a brief summary of relevant background information, such as molecular structures of NPs and NPRs and general intracellular mechanisms after activation of NPRs. We then provide a detailed description of the expression profiles of NPs and NPRs in the CNS and an in-depth discussion of how NPs are involved in neural development, neurotransmitter release, synaptic transmission and neuroprotection through activation of NPRs.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides are a family of structurally related but genetically distinct hormones/paracrine factors that regulate blood volume, blood pressure, ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, fat metabolism, and long bone growth. The mammalian members are atrial natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide, C-type natriuretic peptide, and possibly osteocrin/musclin. Three single membrane-spanning natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs) have been identified. Two, NPR-A/GC-A/NPR1 and NPR-B/GC-B/NPR2, are transmembrane guanylyl cyclases, enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of cGMP. One, NPR-C/NPR3, lacks intrinsic enzymatic activity and controls the local concentrations of natriuretic peptides through constitutive receptor-mediated internalization and degradation. Single allele-inactivating mutations in the promoter of human NPR-A are associated with hypertension and heart failure, whereas homozygous inactivating mutations in human NPR-B cause a form of short-limbed dwarfism known as acromesomelic dysplasia type Maroteaux. The physiological effects of natriuretic peptides are elicited through three classes of cGMP binding proteins: cGMP-dependent protein kinases, cGMP-regulated phosphodiesterases, and cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels. In this comprehensive review, the structure, function, regulation, and biological consequences of natriuretic peptides and their associated signaling proteins are described.

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
The observation that natriuretic peptides and protein kinase C activators influence evoked neurotransmitter efflux by diametrically opposed mechanisms prompted an investigation of the influence of natriuretic peptides on protein kinase C activity and the potential involvement of this pathway in neuromodulatory responses to natriuretic peptides. C-Type natriuretic peptide attenuated both evoked dopamine efflux and protein kinase C activity in a concentration-dependent manner consistent with a 10% diminution in protein kinase C activity producing a 4.6-6.2% reduction in evoked dopamine efflux. The ability of C-type natriuretic peptide to suppress evoked dopamine efflux was abolished by treatment with the protein kinase C inhibitors chelerythrine (10 micro M) and staurosporine (10 nM). Both chelerythrine and staurosporine attenuated protein kinase C activity at the concentrations used. The natriuretic peptide C receptor (NPR-C) appeared to mediate the attenuation of protein kinase C activity, because the effect was mimicked by a pentadecapeptide fragment of the NPR-C, and the effect of C-type natriuretic peptide was attenuated by an antibody generated against the same region of the receptor. These data suggest that C-type natriuretic peptide attenuates neurotransmitter efflux by a mechanism involving suppression of neuronal protein kinase C activity via an interaction with the NPR-C.

Abstract
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the third member of the atrial natriuretic peptide family, acts via guanylyl cyclase containing GC-B receptors to stimulate cyclic guanosine 3',5' monophosphate (cGMP) accumulation in the gonadotrope-derived alphaT3-1 cell line and rat pituitary cells. This effect is inhibited by concomitant activation of the phospholipase C (PLC)-coupled gonadotrophin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors in these cells. Since GnRH stimulates gonadotrophin secretion from gonadotropes by increasing the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and natriuretic peptides have been found to influence PLC/Ca2+ signalling in other systems, we have investigated whether CNP can alter basal or GnRH-stimulated changes in [Ca2+]i in alphaT3-1 cells. In Ca 2+-containing medium, 10(-7) M CNP modestly, but significantly increased [Ca2+]i over several min, but subsequently inhibited the elevation of [Ca2+]i in response to 10(-7) M GnRH in both Ca2+-containing and Ca2+-free medium. This inhibitory effect was mimicked by 10(-6) M 8-Br-cGMP, but not by ANP, indicating mediation by cyclic GMP and the CNP-specific GC-B receptor. However, basal and GnRH-stimulated inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) generation were not measurably affected by CNP, and CNP failed to affect thapsigargin-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry. Thus, it appears that the cross-talk between CNP and GnRH in these cells is reciprocal in that GnRH modulates CNP effects on cGMP generation, whereas, CNP modulates GnRH effects on Ca2+ mobilisation.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides suppress adrenergic neurotransmission by a mechanism apparently involving the natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C) rather than particulate guanylyl cyclase receptors. The bulk of evidence implicating the NPR-C in neuromodulatory effects relies on the pharmacological specificity of peptides believed to be specific for the NPR-C. This study tests for NPR-C effects on neurotransmitter release by examining fragments of the receptor for biological activity in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells permeabilized with digitonin. A pentadecapeptide segment of the cytoplasmic portion of the NPR-C mimicked the effect of natriuretic peptides to suppress dopamine efflux evoked by calcium approximately 40%. Furthermore, an antibody generated against the pentadecapeptide fragment abolished the neuromodulatory effect of C-type natriuretic peptide in permeabilized cells. In contrast, the carboxy terminal nonadecapeptide portion of the NPR-C failed to attenuate dopamine efflux. These data are consistent with the proposed role of the NPR-C in transducing the biological activity of natriuretic peptides in adrenergic tissue. The most novel aspect of these observations involves the potency of the small cytosolic region of the NPR-C with the region closest to the membrane accounting for neuromodulatory effects.

Abstract
The lung is rich in atrial natriuretic peptide binding sites, and the majority of them are considered to be the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor (NPR-C). In this study, localization of NPR-C in the rat lung and trachea was investigated by immunohistochemical analysis with the specific antibody. Positive staining was observed in the epithelial cell layers of the trachea and bronchiole and the myocardium surrounding the pulmonary vein. Moreover, expression of NPR-C was seen in mesenchymal cells; it was especially strong in cells in the perichondrium and decreased in chondrocytes in the cartilage. Because mesenchymal cells in the perichondrium differentiate to chondrocytes, NPR-C expression is suggested to be associated with chondrogenic differentiation. The chondrogenic cell line ATDC5 was used to study NPR-C expression during chondrogenic differentiation in vitro. The undifferentiated ATDC5 cells expressed NPR-C at a much higher level than the differentiated ATDC5 cells, in accordance with the observation of the immunohistochemical analysis in the cartilage. These findings suggest that NPR-C expression is differentially regulated in chondrocytes and that the natriuretic peptides may play a role in regulating chondrocyte development in the lung.

Abstract
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) binds the guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B) and stimulates marked elevations of the intracellular signaling molecule, cGMP. Here, the essential role of phosphorylation in the hormonal activation and deactivation of this receptor is described. Exposure of NIH3T3 fibroblasts overexpressing NPR-B (3T3-NPR-B) to CNP resulted in time-dependent decreases in both subsequent CNP-dependent cGMP elevations in whole cells and hormone-dependent guanylyl cyclase activity assayed in crude membranes. NPR-B isolated from resting 3T3-NPR-B cells was phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues, and exposure to CNP resulted in a time-dependent dephosphorylation and desensitization of the receptor. Immunoblot analysis and guanylyl cyclase activity assayed with the general activators Mn2+ and Triton X-100 indicated that these reductions were not due to receptor degradation. Tryptic phosphopeptide mapping analysis suggested that CNP treatment caused a complete dephosphorylation of approximately one-half of the NPR-B population. In vitro dephosphorylation of crude 3T3-NPR-B membranes with purified protein phosphatase 2A was highly correlated with losses in CNP- but not Mn2+- and Triton X-100-dependent guanylyl cyclase activity. Taken together, these data indicate that the catalytic activity of NPR-B is tightly coupled to its phosphorylation state and that dephosphorylation is a mechanism of desensitization.

Abstract
To investigate the role of natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs) on adipocytes, the effect of atrial natriuretic factor (ANP) on the incorporation of glucose into lipids and CO2 production was studied. Rat adipocytes from the white fat surrounding the mesenteric artery were used. ANP (10(-6) M) significantly increased basal CO2 production (1.36 fold), but had no effect in the presence of insulin. ANP did not modify lipid incorporation. Incubations were carried out with < 4 x 10(5) cells ml-1 as the effects of ANP diminished with higher concentrations. The increase generated by ANP was dose dependent (EC50, 4 x 10(-9) M), and was not reproduced by des [Gln18, Ser19, Gly20, Leu21, Gly22) ANP(4-23) NH2 (c-ANP, 10(-7) M), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP, 10(-7) M) or 8-bromo-cGMP (10(-3) M). However, co-incubation of c-ANP (10(-7) M) and CNP (10(-7) M) increased CO2 production. In the presence of isoproterenol (10(-6) M), ANP had no effect. Incubation with isobutylmethylxanthine (0.5 x 10(-3) M) significantly decreased basal CO2 production (to 30%), and this was not altered by ANP co-incubation. Thus, ANP appears to act via NPR-A to modulate oxidative glucose metabolism, but not through alteration of cGMP or cAMP production.

Abstract
The ability of ANP to inhibit the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides was examined in [3H] myoinositol-labeled intact murine Leydig tumor (MA-10) cells. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) stimulated the formation of inositol monophosphate (IP1), inositol bisphosphate (IP2), and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) both in a time-and dose-dependent manner in MA-10 cells. ANP inhibited the AVP-induced formation of IP1, IP2, and IP3 in these cells. The inhibitory effect of ANP on the AVP-stimulated formation of IP1, IP2, and IP3 accounted for 30%, 38% and 42%, respectively, which was observed at the varying concentrations of AVP. ANP caused a dose-dependent attenuation in AVP-stimulated production of IP1, IP2 and IP3 with maximum inhibition at 100 nM concentration of ANP. The production of inositol phosphates was inhibited in the presence of 8-bromo cGMP in a dose-dependent manner, whereas dibutyryl-cAMP had no effect on the generation of these metabolites. The LY 83583, an inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase and cGMP production, abolished the inhibitory effect of ANP on the AVP-stimulated production of inositol phosphates. Furthermore, 10 microM LY 83583 also inhibited the ANP-stimulated guanylyl cyclase activity and the intracellular accumulation of cGMP by more than 65-70%. The inhibition of cGMP-dependent protein kinase by H-8, significantly restored the levels of AVP-stimulated inositol phosphates in the presence of either ANP or exogenous 8-bromo cGMP. The results of this study suggest that ANP exerts an inhibitory effect on the production of inositol phosphates in murine Leydig tumor (MA-10) cells by mechanisms involving cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides and their receptors were characterized in rat submaxillary glands (SGs). Reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of rat SGs extracts revealed the presence of the 28-amino-acid (AA) circulating peptide ANP (Ser99-Tyr126) and the 126-AA prohormone (Asn1-Tyr126). The presence of ANP prohormone indicated that SGs are a site of ANP synthesis. Indeed, ANP mRNAs were demonstrated. ANP mRNA was 10 times lower than in the lung and only about 7 times lower than in the hypothalamus. ANP content in SG was determined as 30 +/- 8 ng/mg of protein (n = 7). In addition the presence of another member of the natriuretic peptide family, C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), was found in SG. The CNP level of 293 +/- 38 pg/mg protein was significantly higher than in the lungs (44 +/- 6 pg/mg protein, P < 0.001, n = 5), but about 15 times lower than in hypothalamus (4.5 +/- 0.6 ng/mg protein, P < 0.001, n = 6). Both guanylyl cyclase and clearance receptors were expressed in SG. The presence of natriuretic peptide transcripts and their receptors suggests a role in rat SG functions.

Abstract
ANP increases insulin levels in vivo. Because in vitro an ANP-induced increase in cGMP levels of islets of Langerhans was observed but no simultaneous increase in insulin release, secreted glucagon may be a candidate for this second messenger affected by ANP. The inhibitory effect of glucose on glucagon secretion was pronounced by 1.0 nM ANP at 3.0 mM glucose as well as at 5.6 and 8.3 mM glucose. Because in other tissues cGMP (the specific second messenger of ANP1 inhibits Ca2+ channels, the uptake of 45Ca2+ was investigated. ANP (1.0 nM) inhibited 45Ca2+ uptake, which was nearly completely abolished by a pertussis toxin (PT) pretreatment. The inhibition of 45Ca2+ uptake fits to inhibitory ANP effects on glucagon secretion but does not fit to insulin secretion. The glucagon secretion coupling cascade affected by ANP probably involves an increase in cGMP because 8-Br-cGMP (a membrane-permeable cGMP analogue) also decreased glucagon secretion. ANP(4-23), a truncated form of ANP, which is selective for the ANP clearance receptor, also inhibited glucagon secretion. HS-42-1, a guanylate cyclase receptor antagonist, tended to reverse the effect of ANP on glucagon release. The data indicate that in the presence of ANP, the in vivo homeostasis of glucose, though plasma insulin levels are increased, is not due to an ANP-mediated increase in glucagon secretion; ANP has a complex inhibitory effect on glucagon release. The data further indicate that the ANP-induced inhibition of glucagon secretion probably involves the cGMP system, an inhibition of Ca2+ uptake and the involvement of PT-sensitive G-proteins. Moreover, an involvement of the clearance receptor seems to be likely. ANP is a valuable tool for investigating glucagon secretion from pancreatic islets because paracrine effects of insulin can be excluded.

Abstract
A recently discovered endogenous autacoid, C-type natriuretic peptide, was tested in a pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell line for effects on 1) catecholamine release induced by a depolarizing stimulus, 2) guanylyl and adenylyl cyclase activities, and 3) specific 125I-labeled atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binding. C-type natriuretic peptide suppressed evoked neurotransmitter release in the absence of guanylyl cyclase activation or adenylyl cyclase inhibition; however, both a "clearance" (ANP-C) receptor binding agent, des-[Gln18Ser19Gly20Leu21Gly22]-ANF-(4-23)-NH2 (cANF), and pertussis toxin prevented this neuromodulatory effect. The C-type natriuretic peptide preferentially bound to receptors that also bound cANF. The results suggest that C-type natriuretic peptide suppressed evoked neurotransmitter efflux by binding to ANP-C receptors coupled to a pertussis toxin-sensitive process; furthermore, the neuromodulatory effect of C-type natriuretic peptide occurred independently of guanylyl cyclase activation or adenylyl cyclase inhibition. The novel aspects of these findings are 1) neuromodulatory effects of C-type natriuretic peptide, 2) guanylyl cyclase-independent actions of C-type natriuretic peptide, and 3) ANP-C receptors mediating C-type natriuretic peptide actions.

Abstract
Effects of pertussis toxin (PT) treatment on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase and amylase release were investigated in rat parotid gland. Adenylate cyclase activity stimulated by GTP gamma S in PT-treated membranes was much larger than that in normal membranes. ANP dose-dependently inhibited adenylate cyclase stimulated by GTP gamma S in control rat parotid membranes, however in membranes prepared from PT-injected (in vivo) rat parotid gland, ANP did not inhibit adenylate cyclase. ANP(10(-7)M) inhibited cAMP accumulation stimulated by forskolin (10(-6)M) in control rat parotid acinar cells by about 34%, however, in PT-treated cells, the inhibitory effect of ANP was attenuated completely. In control cells amylase release stimulated by isoproterenol (10(-6)M) and forskolin (10(-6)M) were also depressed by ANP (10(-7)M) by 27 and 30% respectively. The inhibitory response of ANP on amylase release was completely attenuated by PT-treatment. Gi was detected as a ADP-ribosylated 41-KDa protein by incubation of parotid membranes with PT and [alpha-32P]NAD. In rat parotid gland, these results suggested that ANP mediates adenylate cyclase/cAMP system and consequently reduces amylase release through ANP-C receptor coupled to Gi.

Abstract
1. Second messenger responses to natriuretic peptides were studied in guinea-pig cerebellar slices by use of radioactive precursors. 2. The rank order of potency of the different natriuretic peptides in generating [3H]-guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) was atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) > brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) >> C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) with EC50 values of 19.5 +/- 8.8 nM for ANP and 169 +/- 41 nM for BNP. CNP induced [3H]-cyclic GMP accumulation only at concentrations greater than 1 microM. 3. An additive response to ANP (1 microM) was observed in the presence of the adenosine receptor agonist, 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA, 10 microM) or the soluble guanylyl cyclase activator, sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 100 microM) for [3H]-cyclic GMP accumulation. 4. ANP, BNP and CNP (all at 1 microM) failed to alter significantly either basal-, forskolin- (10 microM), isoprenaline- (100 microM), or NECA- (10 microM) induced [3H]-cyclic AMP generation. Natriuretic peptides also did not change the [3H]-cyclic AMP steady-state reached after 10 min of treatment with 10 microM forskolin. 5. Natriuretic peptides failed to elicit significant accumulation of [3H]-inositol phosphates at concentrations up to 10 microM. 6. These data are consistent with the presence of ANPA, rather than ANPB or clearance receptors (C-receptors), linked to second messenger cascades in guinea-pig cerebellar slices.

Abstract
Cyclic GMP levels within smooth muscle are affected then by a number of different pathways. Physiologically NO and ANF are probably the two most important regulators for smooth muscle function, but a variety of other mediators and pharmacological agents may also influence this system. Because of the important role that cyclic GMP plays in the control of smooth muscle tone, which clearly includes vascular smooth muscle, it is now and will continue to be in the future an important physiological and biochemical target for research and a pharmacological target for therapeutic agents.

Abstract
We prepared primary cultures of mouse astrocytes from the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, and cerebellum to examine the possibility of regional disparity in binding of human atrial and porcine brain natriuretic peptides (hANP, pBNP) and their effect on cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production. 125I-hANP and 125I-pBNP bound in a specific and saturable manner to all three regions. For both peptides, Scatchard analysis suggested a single population of binding sites on astrocytes from all three regions. No significant differences were observed in the maximal binding capacities (Bmax) or binding dissociation constants (KD) between the two peptides in the astrocyte preparations from different regions. ANP and BNP also evoked cGMP stimulation in a similar, dose-dependent fashion in astrocytes from all three regions, with maximal responses to both peptides reached at a concentration above 1 microM. While BNP elicited a greater maximal cGMP accumulation than ANP, no difference could be demonstrated in the cGMP responses to either peptide between brain regions. Thus we have been unable to demonstrate regional heterogeneity in the responsiveness of astrocytes to ANP and BNP.

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
Stimulation of thymidine incorporation by basic fibroblast growth factor or epidermal growth factor treatment of cultured quiescent smooth muscle cells (rat and human) was attenuated by the concomitant treatment with interleukin-1 beta in the presence of indomethacin. Platelet-derived growth factor-AB and -BB-induced thymidine incorporation was not inhibited by the presence of the cytokine under similar experimental conditions. Elevation of nitrite levels in the conditioned medium of cultures exposed to interleukin-1 beta correlated with the inhibition of thymidine incorporation. Platelet-derived growth factor-AB and -BB inhibited the production of nitric oxide (measured as nitrite levels in conditioned medium) by cells treated simultaneously with interleukin-1 beta and growth factor. However, platelet-derived growth factor-AA neither affected nitrite production nor thymidine incorporation by smooth muscle cells. Levels of cytokine-stimulated nitrite production by smooth muscle cells were increased synergistically by the presence of fibroblast growth factors or epidermal growth factor. The inhibition of thymidine incorporation and concomitant elevation of nitrite production was abolished in the presence of nitro-L-arginine. Cultures maintained in the presence of low levels of the cytokine for 9 days were growth-inhibited, and this was reversed when culture medium was supplemented with nitro-L-arginine. The treatment of smooth muscle cells, which were grown in coculture inserts with the cytokine to induce nitric oxide production, before their combination with other quiescent layers of cells resulted in the inhibition of thymidine incorporation by this second layer of cells regardless of the growth factor used for stimulation. Nitric oxide may act as an endogenous inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation in the vessel wall, and impairment of its production may be one action of potent vascular mitogens such as platelet-derived growth factor.

Abstract
Atrial and brain natriuretic peptides have been found previously to bind to specific receptors on cultured mouse astrocytes and to stimulate cyclic guanosine 5-monophosphate (cGMP) production with similar dose dependency although brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) shows a greater maximal stimulatory effect. The present study provides evidence that both peptides work through the same pathway. No additive or synergistic effect was observed when astrocytes were exposed to both peptides. However, human ANF(99-126) at high concentrations partially inhibited porcine BNP induced cGMP production to the level seen with ANF alone. ANF could be viewed as a partial agonist of pBNP competing for the same effector sites. Differences in structure between human ANF(99-126) and porcine BNP may account for the difference in cGMP response. The interaction between the two peptides and the cGMP response does not reflect receptor binding affinities and is likely to be a post-binding event.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (AII) and thyreoliberin (TRH) have recently been shown to stimulate intracellular cAMP formation in rat lactotroph cells, in addition to their already documented coupling to phospholipase C. The effect on intracellular cAMP is unaffected by pertussis toxin (PTX) and is not due to a direct coupling to adenylate cyclase (AC); it results instead from a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent process. In contrast, when tested in membrane preparations, AII, but not TRH, induces a PTX-sensitive inhibition of AC. The present work indicates that AII, but not TRH, is also able to inhibit intracellular cAMP formation in mixed as well as in lactotroph-enriched cells. Two conditions are required to reveal this effect: desensitization of PKC by prior exposure to TPA and concomitant stimulation of CAMP level. This effect is observed only in the presence of vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor is directly coupled to AC, but not in the presence of other AC-stimulating agents such as cholera toxin and forskolin. This AII inhibitory effect is dose dependent and sensitive to PTX as is AII membrane inhibition of AC activity. PTX also reverses DA inhibition of AC, on both membrane preparations and intact cells. However different G proteins seem to be involved in the negative coupling of AII and DA receptors, since both effects do not exhibit the same PKC sensitivity in entire cells and GTP dependency in membrane preparations. An inhibitory coupling of the AII receptor with AC thus exists in intact cells but is masked by PKC interactions. Under specific conditions, this AII inhibition of intracellular cAMP formation might be implicated in the regulation of PRL secretion.

Abstract
125I-Porcine brain natriuretic peptide (125I-pBNP) bound to mouse astrocytes in primary culture in a time-dependent manner (t1/2 = 4.5 min), similar to 125I-human atrial natriuretic peptide (125I-hANP) (t1/2 = 5 min). Binding was saturable and reached equilibrium after 90 min at 22 degrees C for both radioligands. Scatchard analysis suggested a single class of binding sites for pBNP with a binding affinity and capacity (KD = 0.08 nM; Bmax = 78.3 fmol/mg of protein) similar to those of hANP1-28 (KD = 0.1 nM; Bmax = 90.3 fmol/mg of protein). In competition binding studies, pBNP or human/rat atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) analogues [hANP1-28, rat ANP1-28 (rANP1-28), and rANP5-28] displaced 125I-hANP, 125I-pBNP, and 125I-rANP1-28 completely, all with IC50 values of less than nM (0.14-0.83 nM). All four peptides maximally stimulated cyclic GMP (cGMP) production by 10 min at 22 degrees C at concentrations of 1 microM with EC50 values ranging from 50 to 100 nM. However, maximal cGMP induction by brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (25.9 +/- 2.1 pmol/mg of protein) was significantly greater than that by hANP1-28 (11.5 +/- 2.2 pmol/mg of protein), rANP1-28 (16.5 +/- 2.0 pmol/mg of protein), and rANP5-28 (15.8 +/- 2.2 pmol/mg of protein). These studies indicate that BNP and ANPs act on the same binding sites and with similar affinities in cultured mouse astrocytes. BNP, however, exerts a greater effect on cGMP production. The difference in both affinity and selectivity between binding and cGMP production may indicate the existence of receptor subtypes that respond differentially to natriuretic peptides despite similar binding characteristics.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine activation of transepithelial chloride secretion by shark rectal gland cells is associated with increases in cellular cAMP, cGMP, and free calcium concentrations. We report here on the effects of several chloride secretagogues on inositol phosphate formation in cultured rectal gland tubules. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), atriopeptin (AP), and ionomycin increase the total inositol phosphate levels of cultured tubules, as measured by ion exchange chromatography. Forskolin, a potent chloride secretagogue, has no effect on inositol phosphate formation. The uptake of 3H-myo-inositol into phospholipids is very slow, preventing the detection of increased levels of inositol trisphosphate. However, significant increases in inositol monophosphate (IP1) and inositol biphosphate (IP2) were measured. The time course of VIP- and AP-stimulated IP1 and IP2 formation is similar to the effects of these agents on the short-circuit current responses of rectal gland monolayer cultures. In addition, aluminum fluoride, an artificial activator of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, stimulates IP1 and IP2 formation. We conclude that rectal gland cells contain VIP and AP receptors coupled to the activation of phospholipase C. Coupling may be mediated by G-proteins. Receptor-stimulated increases in inositol phospholipid metabolism is one mechanism leading to increased intracellular free calcium concentrations, an important regulatory event in the activation of transepithelial chloride secretion by shark rectal gland epithelial cells.

Abstract
Cellular responses to the vasoconstrictor peptide, endothelin, have been investigated in quiescent cultured human vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMC). Endothelin caused intracellular alkalinization and activation of the protein synthetic enzyme S6-kinase, but such responses were not associated with any mitogenic effects of endothelin on hVSMC. In myo-[3H]inositol-prelabelled hVSMC endothelin elicited a rapid increase in inositol bis- and tris-phosphates and concomitant hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositol lipids. In [3H]arachidonate-prelabelled hVSMC endothelin promoted production of diacylglycerol, the early kinetics of which parallelled polyphosphoinositol lipid hydrolysis. Such phospholipase C activation by endothelin was sustained in hVSMC with accumulation of inositol polyphosphates being markedly protracted and the decay of diacylglycerol slow. Endothelin promoted extracellular release of [3H]arachidonate-labelled material from hVSMC which derived via deacylation of both phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine. This process was inhibited by phospholipase A2 and lipoxygenase inhibitors, but insensitive to phospholipase C and cyclooxygenase inhibitors. Endothelin-induced activation of phospholipase C and phospholipase A2 signal transduction pathways (EC50 approximately 5-8 nM for both) in hVSMC apparently proceed in an independent parallel manner rather than a sequential one.

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
The mechanism for the vasorelaxant effect of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) remains to be clarified. Recent evidence suggests that this agent can antagonize the action of angiotensin II (ANG II) by affecting intracellular calcium metabolism. The biochemical basis for this phenomenon was investigated in cultured rat mesangial cells (MCs), a preparation which exhibits the contractile properties of smooth muscle cells and is responsive to ANG II and ANF. Preincubation of MCs with ANF significantly inhibited ANG II-induced release of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) resulting from hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate. Similarly, ANG II-stimulated increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i), 45Ca efflux, as well as 45Ca influx were diminished by ANF. In addition, these alterations in Ca2+ kinetics were associated with ANF-mediated antagonism of ANG II-induced phospholipid turnover and prostaglandin (PG) E2 release. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), which augmented guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) accumulation to a degree comparable to ANF, likewise inhibited ANG II action on the phosphoinositide (PI) pathway, Ca2+ regulation, and PGE2 production. Collectively our results indicate that the effects of ANF on [Ca2+]i in MCs relate to cGMP-induced alterations of PI metabolism. In this fashion cGMP-elevating agents may influence a variety of calcium-dependent biochemical pathways including prostaglandin synthesis.

Abstract
Binding studies were performed on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from the rat aorta, using 125I-atrial natriuretic factor (Ser99-Tyr126) (ANF (Ser99-Tyr126] as the ligand. Kinetic studies at 37 degrees C indicated a rapid onset of binding with a maximum total binding of 25% being reached by 60 min. Crosslinking experiments demonstrated that ANF bound to a 120 kDa and a 60 kDa protein with the former dissociating into the 60 kDa species in presence of beta-mercaptoethanol. Of the total radioactivity bound, 15% represented internalized material. Analysis of the medium after different incubation periods revealed a 42% degradation of 125I-ANF by 120 min. At 4 degrees C, no internalization of 125I-ANF was observed. However, surface binding occurred, albeit at a much slower rate, and not reaching a maximum even at the end of 3 h. No degraded material was detected in the extracellular medium even after a 2-h incubation. Chloroquine (100 microM) and monensin (10 microM) significantly increased the cell-associated radioactivity, causing a 2- to 3-fold elevation of internalized material and a 1.5- to 2-fold rise in the surface-bound ligand. Both lysosomotropic agents also inhibited ANF degradation by 70-80%. Kinetic of the intracellular labeled material was analyzed: within 5-10 min it reaches a maximum level and it decreases rapidly. In presence of monensin the intracellular signal was amplified and the decay was minimized. The intracellular material was found to be mostly bound to a 60 kDa protein. These studies suggest an intracellular degradation of ANF, probably in the lysosomal compartment, following receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Abstract
The effects of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on phosphoinositide hydrolysis were examined in preparations of cultured bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. In homogenates or particulate fractions from cultured bovine aortic smooth muscle cells, ANF and atriopeptin I increased the formation of inositol phosphates and GTPase activity. The effects on inositol phosphates were markedly enhanced with guanosine 5'[gamma-thio]triphosphate. Both atrial peptides also stimulated the formation of diacylglycerol in intact cultured cells. In these experiments, atriopeptin I was about 10-fold more potent than ANF. These studies indicate that atrial peptides have stimulatory effects on phosphoinositide hydrolysis which are mediated through a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. The greater potency of atriopeptin I on GTPase activity and the accumulation of inositol phosphates suggests that the nonguanylate cyclase-coupled receptor for ANF (ANF-R2) mediates the stimulatory effects of ANF on phosphoinositide hydrolysis through a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein.

Abstract
In the presence of 1 microM atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and low (0.1 mM) Mg2+ concentrations, the initial rate of binding of [3H]guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate [( 3H]p[NH]ppG) to rat lung plasma membranes was increased twofold to threefold. ANF-dependent stimulation of the initial rate of [3H]p[NH]ppG binding was reduced at high (5 mM) Mg2+ concentrations. Preincubation of membranes with p[NH]ppG (5 min at 37 degrees C) eliminated the ANF-dependent effect on [3H]p[NH]ppG binding whereas ANF-dependent [3H]p[NH]ppG binding was unaffected by similar pretreatment with guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[beta S]). An increase in ANF concentration from 10 pM to 1 microM caused a 40% decrease in forskolin-stimulated or isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities (IC50 5 nM) in rat lung plasma membranes. GTP (100 microM) was obligatory for the ANF-dependent inhibition of adenylate cyclase, which could be completely overcome by the presence of 100 microM GDP[beta S] or the addition of 10 mM Mn2+. Reduction of Na2+ concentration from 120 mM to 20 mM had the same effect. Pertussis toxin eliminated ANF-dependent inhibition of adenylate cyclase by catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of membrane-bound Ni protein (41-kDa alpha subunit of the inhibitory guanyl-nucleotide-binding protein of adenylate cyclase). The data support the notion that one of the ANF receptors in rat lung plasma membranes is negatively coupled to a hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase complex via the GTP-binding Ni protein.
