title: Compared effects of natriuretic peptides on ovalbumin-induced asthmatic model.
abstract: We compared the effects of natriuretic peptides on antigen-induced bronchoconstriction and airway microvascular leakage in sensitized guinea pigs. Anesthetized male guinea pigs, ventilated via a tracheal cannula, were placed in a plethysmograph to measure pulmonary mechanics for 10 min after challenge with 1 mg/kg of ovalbumin, and then Evans blue dye was extravasated into airway tissue in order to indicate and evaluate microvascular leakage. Three separate intravenous pretreatments using atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) significantly inhibited the ovalbumin-induced bronchoconstriction and microvascular leakage in a dose-dependent manner. These inhibitory effects were mimicked by 8-bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate. We showed that the rank order of inhibitory potencies, which were mediated by cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate, was BNP > or = ANP > or = CNP. These results gave us some clues for the clinical application of the natriuretic peptides.
