Ontogeny of ovine fetal renal atrial natriuretic factor receptors.

Abstract:

:Ovine fetal renal responses to ANF decrease during the last third of gestation, although circulating fetal plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) levels are higher than in the maternal circulation, and do not change with gestation. This study examined whether previously reported maturational changes in fetal renal responses to ANF are due to changes in renal ANF receptor numbers and/or affinity during gestation. ANF receptor numbers (Bmax) and dissociation constants (Kd) were measured in isolated renal glomeruli from early (95 and 110 day; mean 103 +/- 2) and late gestation (131 and 145 day; mean 138 +/- 2) fetal and maternal sheep. Fetal renal ANF receptor Bmax values significantly increased between 103 and 138 days gestation (13 +/- 3 to 29 +/- 4 fmol/mg protein) but were significantly lower than maternal values (60 +/- 13 fmol/mg protein). Fetal ANF receptor Kd values also increased significantly (245 +/- 34 to 370 +/- 36 pM), with early gestation values significantly lower than maternal values (470 +/- 69 pM). Thus, the blunted fetal renal response to ANF in late as compared to early gestation is not due to reduced ANF receptor numbers. Rather, an increased proportion of ANF clearance receptors, reduced post-receptor function and/or altered intrarenal hemodynamics may contribute.
