title: Gastric atrial natriuretic peptide regulates endocrine secretion in antrum and fundus of human and rat stomach.
abstract: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is present in gastric mucosa and preferentially binds to two subtypes of natriuretic peptide receptors (NPR), NPR-A and NPR-C. The present study examines the role of endogenous ANP in regulating endocrine secretion in rat and human stomachs. NPR-A protein expression and transcripts were identified in rat antral and fundic mucosa by Western blot and RT-PCR. In superfused rat and human antral and fundic segments, ANP (0.1 pM to 0.1 microM) caused a concentration-dependent increase in somatostatin secretion. In antrum, this was accompanied by a decrease in gastrin, and in fundus, this was accompanied by a decrease in histamine secretion. Changes in gastrin and histamine secretion reflected changes in somatostatin secretion and were abolished by somatostatin antibody. The NPR-A receptor antagonist anantin 1) inhibited basal somatostatin secretion and 2) abolished the somatostatin, gastrin, and histamine responses to ANP. We conclude that endogenous ANP, acting via the NPR-A receptor, stimulates somatostatin secretion from both antrum and fundus of rat and human stomach. Stimulation of somatostatin secretion is coupled to inhibition of gastrin secretion in the antrum and inhibition of histamine secretion in the fundus.
