Abstract
The effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on secretion and synthesis of rat atrial natriuretic peptide (rANP) as well as its mRNA levels was studied in primary cultures of neonatal rat atrial cardiocytes. ET-1 dose-dependently (10(-10)-10(-7) M) increased media and cellular rANP-like immunoreactivity as well as its cytoplasmic mRNA levels in rat cardiocytes during 24 hrs incubation. These results suggest that ET-1 directly stimulates expression of the rANP gene in cardiocytes, thereby leading to enhanced synthesis and secretion of rANP.Entities:
