title: The ANF-C receptor is not linked to adenylyl cyclase inhibition in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells.
abstract: The possible inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity by atrial peptides selective for the ANF-C receptor was investigated in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. In these cells isoprenaline, guanine nucleotide and forskolin dose-dependently increased activity over basal levels. In the presence of rANF(99-126), these dose-dependent increases were not reduced, nor were they affected by the ANF-C receptor selective analogue C-ANF(102-121). Furthermore, the selective analogues rANF(103-123) and des[Cys105,Cys121]rANF104-126 had no effect on basal or stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity. It can be concluded that ANF-C receptors are not linked to inhibition of adenylyl cyclase in these cells.
