title: Natriuretic peptide receptors on human trabecular meshwork cells.
abstract: The effects of natriuretic peptides on cGMP formation and [125I]ANP binding in human trabecular meshwork cells were investigated. CNP at 1 microM stimulated cGMP formation approximately 18-25 fold, with a half maximal effective concentration approximately 20-30nM. BNP at 1 microM stimulated approximately 7 fold, while ANP stimulated cGMP formation 2-fold at 1 microM but had little or no effect at concentrations below 1 microM. Displacement binding of [125I]ANP to intact TM cells in the presence of unlabeled ANP indicated a single binding site with a dissociation constant approximately 0.15nM.c-ANP, which binds specifically to natriuretic peptide C receptors, displaced > 95% [125I]ANP binding to surface receptor sites with a half-maximal effective concentration comparable to that of ANP or BNP. c-ANP had no inhibitory effect on CNP stimulation of cGMP formation. The data suggest that human TM cells possess natriuretic peptide B receptors as the primary guanylyl cyclase-containing subtype and C receptors as the numerically predominant subtype of natriuretic peptide receptors.
