Effects of atrial natriuretic peptide on rat ventricular fibroblasts during differentiation into myofibroblasts.
Atrial natriuretic peptide antifibrotic properties are mainly described in cardiac myocytes or in induced cardiac myofibroblasts (Angiotensin II or TGF-beta induced differentiation). In the present work, we investigate the effects of ANP/NPRA/cGMP system in modulating rat cardiac fibroblasts function. Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from adult Wistar male rats and cultured in the presence of ...
متن کاملRegulation of ventricular atrial natriuretic peptide release in hypertrophied rat myocardium. Effects of exercise.
Left ventricular hypertrophy is characterized by stimulation of ventricular synthesis of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the increased ventricular ANP levels participate in the release of ANP into the circulation. Swimming was used as a physiologic model to induce ANP release from the heart, and atrial and ventricular levels of immunoreactiv...
متن کاملEvaluation of Serum Levels of N-terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Neonates with Respiratory Distress
Background: Acute respiratory distress (ARD) is a critical respiratory failure due to lung injury of neonates leading to the clinical appearance of poor lung compliance. The aimed of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic values in differentiating respiratory from heart diseases with using of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in neonates...
متن کاملHypoxia induces differentiation of pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts into myofibroblasts.
Activation of the alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) gene during the conversion of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts is an essential feature of various fibrotic conditions. Microvascular compromise and thus local environmental hypoxia are important components of the fibrotic response. The present study was thus undertaken to test the hypothesis that hypoxia can induce transdifferentiation of v...
متن کاملNatriuretic peptide receptors on rat thymocytes: inhibition of proliferation by atrial natriuretic peptide.
Because the thymus expresses the natriuretic peptides (NP) as well as their respective receptors, an involvement of NP in the physiology of this organ has been suggested. To evaluate functional aspects of NP in the thymus, we looked for thymic cells bearing NP receptors (Npr). Furthermore, the regulation of Npr expression by activation of cells and the influence of NP on the proliferation of th...
