Extra-atrial expression of the gene for atrial natriuretic factor.

Abstract:

:Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a group of peptides, originally isolated from the cardiac atria, that have a number of important effects on blood pressure, renal function, and salt balance. In the current study, expression of the ANF gene in certain extra-atrial tissues of the rat has been examined by radioimmunoassay of extracted ANF protein and by blot-hybridization, nuclease S1 analysis, and primer-extension analysis of the ANF mRNA. ANF peptides and mRNA were detected in cardiac ventricles, lung, and pituitary gland at levels generally less than or equal to 1% those of cardiac atria. The ANF transcripts in extra-atrial tissue appear to be very similar to those synthesized in the atria. They are polyadenylylated, are equivalent in overall length (950-1050 nucleotides), and have identical 5' termini. A secondary transcription start site mapping approximately 80 base pairs upstream from the primary start site is employed in atria and to a lesser extent in other tissues. The ANF transcript is present throughout the cardiac ventricles from apex to base and in the septum as well as the ventricular free walls. The transcript is more prevalent in the left ventricle and interventricular septum than in the right ventricle. Immunocytochemistry using various anti-rat ANF antibodies localized ANF immunoreactivity to the atrial myocytes; the ventricular myocytes, particularly along the endothelial surface of the ventricular chamber; perialveolar cells in the lung; and the gonadotropin-producing cells of the pituitary. The data indicate that the capacity for ANF gene expression extends beyond atrial tissue, albeit at much reduced levels, and may suggest alternative, perhaps paraendocrine, functions for the peptide in these tissues.
