Down-regulation does not mediate natriuretic peptide-dependent desensitization of natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR)-A or NPR-B: guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptors do not internalize.
Natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A/GC-A) and B (NPR-B/GC-B) are members of the transmembrane guanylyl cyclase family that mediate the effects of natriuretic peptides via the second messenger, cGMP. Despite numerous reports of these receptors being down-regulated in response to various pathological conditions, no studies have actually measured desensitization and receptor internalization in t...
متن کاملNatriuretic Peptide Type-B Gene
The structure of the mouse natriuretic peptide type-B (BNP) gene was determined by isolating and sequencing genomic clones. The mouse BNP gene was structurally similar to other natriuretic peptide genes and comprised three exons and two introns. Expression of the mouse BNP gene was found only in cardiac tissue as determined by ribonuclease protection analyses. Initiation of transcription was 31...
متن کاملC-type natriuretic peptide upregulates vascular endothelin type B receptors.
Cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) possess receptors for potent vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1) as well as potent vasodilator natriuretic peptides (atrial, brain, and C-type natriuretic peptides [ANP, BNP, and CNP, respectively]). However, little is known about molecular interactions between endothelin receptors and natriuretic peptides in VSMCs. To elucidate whether natriure...
متن کاملSphingosine-1-phosphate inhibits C-type natriuretic peptide activation of guanylyl cyclase B (GC-B/NPR-B).
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) binds and activates the transmembrane guanylyl cyclase B receptor (NPR-B), which decreases vascular tone and inhibits cell proliferation and migration. In contrast, the bioactive lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) elicits the opposite physiological effects. Here, we demonstrate a potent acute inhibitory effect of S1P on NPR-B activity in NIH3T3 fibroblasts and ...
متن کاملBiomarker for Cardiomyopathy-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide
Cardiomyopathy is cardiac condition in which the normal muscular function of the myocardium has been altered by a variety of etiologies. Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the most common cause of cardiomyopathy in North America and Europe. Idiopathic cardiomyopathy is the second most common cause, although this may partially include undiagnosed etiologies such as viral infection, drug ...
