title: Effects of isatin on atrial natriuretic peptide-mediated accumulation of cGMP and guanylyl cyclase activity of PC12 cells.
abstract: We have previously demonstrated that isatin (indole-2,3 dione), an endogenous compound widely distributed in mammalian tissues and body fluids, effectively inhibits atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor binding and ANP-stimulated guanylyl cyclase activity of rat membrane preparations. In the present study the effects of isatin on ANP-mediated accumulation of cGMP and guanylyl cyclase (GC) activity of PC12 cells were studied. Isatin (0.1 mM) effectively inhibited ANP-stimulated GC-activity of broken cells but was nearly inactive in attenuating ANP-dependent accumulation of cGMP in intact PC12 cells. The ATP-analogue adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) slightly potentiated the ANP effect on GC activity in broken cell preparations and significantly reduced GC sensitivity to isatin. Isatin caused a more pronounced reduction of ANP-dependent cGMP accumulation in cells grown in the presence of 10% embryonal calf serum (ECS) than in 0.5% ECS. The data obtained suggest that, in intact cells, the manifestation of the isatin effect on ANP-mediated signal transduction may depend on intracellular factor(s), possibly interacting at the kinase domain.
