Abstract：
:Atriopeptins are circulating peptide hormones which are secreted by atrial tissue and act at the kidney. Because the atriopeptins survive passage through the pulmonary circulation, they also may be involved in the modulation of airway or pulmonary vascular smooth muscle tone. Using in vitro organ bath techniques, atriopeptins were found to induce potent concentration-dependent relaxation of isolated guinea pig trachea, and pulmonary artery with a rank order of potency: atriopeptin III greater than atriopeptin II greater than atriopeptin I. Atriopeptin-induced smooth muscle relaxation was observed to be a direct response since it was not mediated by activation of relaxant VIP receptors, beta-adrenergic receptors, or H2 receptors nor affected by cyclooxygenase inhibition or denuding of the vasculature or trachea of endothelial and epithelial cells. The time course of atriopeptin II-induced relaxation of the pulmonary artery was transient in contrast to the prolonged relaxations on the trachea. The transient relaxant responses of atriopeptin II on pulmonary artery were not due to metabolism of atriopeptin II to atriopeptin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme since pretreatment with captopril did not augment the response. These results seem to indicate that distinct atriopeptin receptors may exist in airway and pulmonary arterial smooth muscle and that activation of these relaxant receptors may play an important role in the regulation of pulmonary vascular and bronchomotor tone.
