Abstract
Recently a stimulatory effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on the particulate guanylate cyclase system has been reported in the glomeruli from different species. Using cultures of homogeneous human glomerular cell lines, we found that rat and human ANP stimulated markedly cGMP formation in epithelial cells with a threshold dose of 1 nM. A 20‐fold increase was obtained at 5 μM. Stimulation was also present but less substantial (2‐fold at 5 μM) in mesangial cells. cGMP was formed rapidly and released in the medium. ANP and sodium nitroprusside, an activator of soluble guanylate cyclase, had additive effects on cGMP formation. ANP did not inhibit cAMP formation in both cell lines. These results demonstrate that, at least in the human species, epithelial cells represent the main target of ANP in the glomerulus. Synthesis of cGMP in the glomerular epithelial cells in response to ANP also suggests that the excess of urinary cGMP produced by the kidney which is observed after ANP administration is of glomerular rather than of tubular origin.Keywords
