The endothelium plays a fundamental role in maintaining vascular homeostasis by releasing factors that regulate local blood flow, systemic blood pressure, and the reactivity of leukocytes and platelets. Accordingly, endothelial dysfunction underpins many cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Herein, we evaluated mice with endothelial-specific deleti...
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) play an important role in obesity and aim of this study was to evaluate, in cardiac tissue of obese Zucker rats (O, n = 29) their transcriptomic profile compared to controls (CO, n = 24) by Real-Time PCR study; CNP protein expression was evaluated by immunostaining and immunometric tests. Myocardial histology was performed, confirming no alteration of organ structure....
We have earlier shown that the treatment of A10 vascular smooth muscle cells with S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP); nitric oxide donor (NO) for 24 h decreased the expression of natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPR-C) and adenylyl cyclase signaling. The present study was undertaken to examine the implication of different signaling mechanisms in a NO-induced response. The treatment of A10 v...
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) interacts with high-affinity, guanylyl cyclase-linked receptors in the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD), where it exerts important regulatory control over sodium handling. We sought to determine whether receptor activity in these cells would be modulated (downregulated) by prolonged exposure to ligand. A number of natriuretic peptides (ANP, brain natriuret...
Although peptides are safe and useful as therapeutics, they are often easily degraded or metabolized. Dampening the clearance system for peptide ligands is a promising strategy for increasing the efficacy of peptide therapies. Natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B) and its naturally occurring ligand, C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), are potent stimulators of endochondral bone growth, and activ...
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide decrease blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy by activating natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A), a transmembrane guanylyl cyclase also known as guanylyl cyclase A. Inactivation of NPR-A is a potential mechanism for the renal hyporesponsiveness observed in congestive heart failure (CHF) but direct data supporting this hypothesi...
The natriuretic peptide receptor type C (NPR-C) binds all natriuretic peptides. It is thought to be involved in the clearance of natriuretic peptides and more recently has been defined as essential for the neuromodulatory effects of natriuretic peptides. Although the distribution of NPR-C mRNA has been reported in the rat forebrain, there are no data on the distribution of NPR-C in the brainste...
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binds guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A) and natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C). Internalization of GC-A and NPR-C is poorly understood, in part, because previous studies used (125)I-ANP binding to track these receptors, which are expressed in the same cell. Here, we evaluated GC-A and NPR-C internalization using traditional and novel approaches. Although HeLa cells ...
Non-photorealistic rendering, or NPR, has emerged as an important field of computer graphics [1]. Most NPR methods attempt to create imagery mimicking a particular style produced by an artist. Several such styles have been investigated, including painting, watercolor, engraving, pen and ink, color pencil, charcoal, cartoon coloring, stippling, and loose sketching. Thus far, most published NPR a...
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) activation of the guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B) stimulates vasorelaxation and bone growth. Hormones and phorbol esters (PMA) inhibit NPR-B in calcium and protein kinase c-dependent manners, respectively. Here, we characterize the kinetic properties of NPR-B in membranes from cells exposed to PMA, the calcium ionophore, ionomycin,...
