  • Title: Atrial natriuretic peptide II and III stimulation of Na+/H+ exchange in human erythrocytes.
    Author: Lijnen P, Petrov V.
    Journal: Methods Find Exp Clin Pharmacol; 1995; 17(1):5-13. PubMed ID: 7623520.
    Abstract:
    In the present study we investigated in human red blood cells, the effect of the atrial natriuretic polypeptide fragments ANPI, ANPII, ANPII, alpha-ANP and des-Ser5,Ser6-ANPIII, in a combination range of 1 pM to 100 nM, upon the Na+/H+ exchange. We have shown that ANPII and ANPIII stimulate the erythrocyte Na+/H+ exchange while alpha-ANP, ANPI and des-Ser5,Ser6-ANPIII have no effect. In the present study, we also tested the hypothesis that ANPIII stimulation of erythrocyte Na+/H+ exchange occurs via an increase in cGMP levels. When the quinolinedione, 6-anilo-5,8-quinolinedione (LY83583) (10 microM), was used to block formation of cGMP in human red blood cells, it was found that basal and ANPIII stimulated Na+/H+ exchange were inhibited. The cGMP analogs, dibutyryl-cGMP and 8-Br-cGMP, also increase the erythrocyte Na+/H+ exchange. The 8-Br-cGMP-stimulated Na+/H+ exchange was not affected by 2-0-propoxyphenyl-8-azapurine-6-one (MB22948), an inhibitor of cGMP phosphodiesterase MB22948 alone also increased levels of Na+/H+ exchange. The ANPIII stimulated Na+/H+ exchange was also accompanied by an elevation of the intracellular cGMP level. Since inhibition of cGMp formation blocks ANP111-stimulated Na+/H+ exchange and inhibition of cGMP breakdown enhances it, we conclude that ANP111 stimulation of Na+/H+ exchange in human red blood cells is mediated via increases in intracellular cGMP levels.
