Abstract

We have examined the effect of a synthetic analogue of human alpha-atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), APII, on renin release in cultured renal juxtaglomerular cells (JGA cells). Using cell cultures containing 80-90% renal juxtaglomerular cells, we found that ANP (10(-13)-10(-9) M) strongly inhibited renin release from the cells in a dose-dependent fashion (ki, 10 pM) to about 10% of control. Inhibition of renin release by ANP was paralleled by an increase in cellular cGMP levels; while in the presence of the cGMP-phosphodiesterase inhibitor M&B 22948 (1 mM), concentrations of ANP lower by a factor of 100 were required to obtain the same effects on renin release and cGMP levels. The guanylate cyclase inhibitor methylene blue (10 microM), on the other hand, shifted the dose-response curves for renin release and cGMP levels to 100-fold higher concentrations of ANP. Neither the influx of 45Ca into the cells nor the intracellular quin-2 signal, which is a measure for changes of intracellular Ca concentration, was in any way altered by ANP. Our results suggest that ANP inhibits renin release from juxtaglomerular cells by a cGMP-dependent process that does not involve changes in intracellular calcium.
