title: Comparison of binding and cyclic GMP accumulation by atrial natriuretic peptides in endothelial cells.
abstract: Rat 125I-labeled atrial natriuretic factor (ANF (8-33)) was used to identify ANF receptors on cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. Specific binding of 125I-ANF at 37 degrees C to confluent endothelial cells was saturable and of high affinity. Scatchard analysis of the equilibrium binding data indicated that endothelial cells contain a single class of binding sites with a Kd of 0.1 +/- 0.01 nM. This particular clone of endothelial cells had 16000 +/- 1300 receptors per cell. The order of potency for competing with 125I-ANF binding was human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) = atrial natriuretic factor (ANF (8-33)) greater than atriopeptin II greater than atriopeptin III greater than atriopeptin. The weakest competitor, atriopeptin I, had a K1 of 0.45 nM, which was only 6-fold higher than the K1 for hANP and ANF (8-33). ANF (8-33) and hANP in the presence of 0.5 mM isobutylmethyl-xanthine produced a 15-20-fold increase in cyclic GMP content at 10 pM and a maximal 500-fold elevation of cyclic GMP at 10 nM. The concentrations required to elicit a half-maximal increase in cyclic GMP for hANP, ANF (8-33), atriopeptin I, atriopeptin II and atriopeptin III were 0.30, 0.35, greater than 500, 4.0 and 5.0 nM, respectively. Although atriopeptin I acted as a partial agonist, it was unable to antagonize the effect of ANF (8-33) on cyclic GMP formation. These findings suggest that endothelial cells have multiple and functionally distinct ANF-binding sites.
