Intestinal enteroendocrine cells are critical to central regulation of caloric consumption, since they activate hypothalamic circuits that decrease appetite and thereby restrict meal size by secreting hormones in response to nutrients in the gut. Although guanylyl cyclase and downstream cGMP are essential regulators of centrally regulated feeding behavior in invertebrates, the role of this prim...
BACKGROUND In experimental animal models, long-term in vivo treatment with nitroglycerin (NTG) induces both endothelial dysfunction and tolerance to nitrates. However, it is still controversial whether nitrate tolerance in humans is associated with both endothelial dysfunction and impaired vascular response to nitrovasodilator-derived NO. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients undergoing elective bypas...
Natriuretic peptides mediate their physiologic effects through activation of membrane-bound, guanylyl cyclase–coupled receptors (NPRs). Receptor dimerization is an important feature of signal transduction. This study was aimed at characterizing structurally important residues of the extracellular ligand-binding domain of NPR-B for receptor dimerization and cGMP generation. Deletion mutagenesis ...
PURPOSE To determine the role of gelatinase in the hepatic metastatic process of colorectal cancer, we correlated gelatinolytic activity in colorectal tumor tissue both to the presence of intravasated colorectal epithelial cells and to the formation of liver metastasis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The gelatinolytic activity was analyzed in tumor tissue samples from 68 colorectal cancer patients by us...
The meiotic cell cycle of mammalian oocytes starts during embryogenesis and then pauses until luteinizing hormone (LH) acts on the granulosa cells of the follicle surrounding the oocyte to restart the cell cycle. An essential event in this process is a decrease in cyclic GMP in the granulosa cells, and part of the cGMP decrease results from dephosphorylation and inactivation of the natriuretic ...
We compared the effects of NO donors and cGMP analogues on the growth of aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) derived from newborn, adult (aged 3 months), and old (aged 2 years) rats. We found that the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine failed to block DNA synthesis in SMCs from old rats but was effective in SMCs from newborn and adult rats. However, cGMP analogues were inhibitory in all 3 S...
Angiotensin II and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) play important and opposite roles in the control of water and salt intake, with angiotensin II promoting the intake of both and ANP inhibiting the intake of both. Following blood volume expansion, baroreceptor input to the brainstem induces the release of ANP within the hypothalamus that releases oxytocin (OT) that acts on its receptors in the...
In killifish renal proximal tubules, endothelin-1 (ET-1), acting through a basolateral ET(B) receptor, nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and PKC, decreases cell-to-lumen organic anion transport mediated by the multidrug resistance protein isoform 2 (Mrp2). In the present study, we examined the roles of guanylyl cyclase and cGMP in ET signaling to Mrp2. Using confocal microscopy and quantitative imag...
