We have studied the localization and the characterization of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) binding sites by radioautographic techniques. Quantitative in vitro radioautography with a computerized microdensitometer demonstrated the presence of high-affinity, low-capacity 125I-ANF-(99-126) binding sites (Kd, 48 pM; Bmax, 63 fmol/mg protein) mainly in the villi of 20-microns slide-mounted transverse sections of the rat jejunum. Competition curves showed 50% inhibitory concentrations of 55 and 1,560 pM for ANF-(99-126) and ANF-(103-123), respectively. In vivo electron microscope radioautography showed that 80% of the silver grains were localized on the lamina propria fibroblast-like cells, 18% on mature enterocytes, and 2% on capillaries. Bradykinin and adrenocorticotropin did not compete with ANF binding. These results demonstrate that ANF binding sites in the rat jejunum possess the pharmacological characteristics of functional ANF receptors encountered in other rat tissues, and ultrastructural radioautographs show their cellular distribution. Taken together, these results demonstrate the presence and the localization of specific binding sites for ANF in the jejunal villi of the rat small intestine.

Previous studies have led us to hypothesize that the physiological significance of the diuretic and pulmonary vaso-relaxant effects of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is to protect the right heart. This study was designed to evaluate the relative importance of various peripheral tissues as sites of ANF action by tracing the temporal pattern of distribution of 125I-ANF and quantitating the specific binding sites. An in vivo approach, utilizing trace amount of 125I-ANF was adopted to simulate physiological conditions. 125I-ANF injected either intravenously or intra-arterially was quickly bound to peripheral tissues with less than 5% remaining in the circulation after 1 min. The relative binding capacity was greatest in the lung, followed by the kidney, right ventricle, adrenal gland, and left ventricle. The magnitude of specific ANF binding sites per gram of tissue weight followed a similar order. The data demonstrate that ANF released under all circumstances is quickly bound to the target organs, particularly the lung and the kidney, and suggest that these two organs could be the most important target organs of ANF. This evidence provides further support for the proposed hypothesis that a major evolutionary role of ANF is the protection of the right ventricle from mechanical loads.

The [125I]iodotyrosyl derivative of atrial natriuretic factor ([125I]ANF) apparently binds to a single class of high affinity sites in guinea pig brain membrane preparations. Ligand selectivity pattern reveals that the structural requirements of brain [125I]ANF binding sites are similar to those reported in most peripheral tissues. In vitro receptor autoradiographic studies demonstrate that the brain distribution of [125I]ANF binding sites is species dependent. In rat, high levels of binding are found in olfactory bulb, subfornical organ, area postrema, choroid plexus, and ependyma. In guinea pig, these regions are also enriched with [125I]ANF binding in addition to various thalamic nucleic, amygdala, hippocampus, and cerebellum. In monkey, high densities of sites are seen in the cerebellar cortex. This suggests that brain ANF receptor sites could mediate ANF effects related to the central integration of cardiovascular parameters, as well as other actions not associated with these systems. As in the periphery, it appears that brain [125I]ANF binding sites are associated with guanylate cyclase. Moreover, the density of [125I]ANF receptor binding sites is altered in certain brain regions in spontaneously hypertensive rats and in cardiomyopathic hamsters, demonstrating the plasticity of brain ANF receptors. Thus, ANF and ANF receptors are complementary facets of a new neurotransmitter–neuromodulator system present in mammalian brain.

The potential role of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in the renal response to head-out water immersion (WI) was studied. Five female mongrel dogs, trained to stand for 100 min in air followed by 100 min of thermoneutral WI at 37 degrees C or 200 min in air (timed control, TC), were chronically instrumented with arterial and venous catheters. The animals were hydrated with a volume of 0.45% NaCl solution equivalent to 2% of their body weight. Prehydration levels of arterial ANF were 243 +/- 15 (SE), and venous ANF levels were 211 +/- 21 pg/ml. WI resulted in an increase in urine flow from 0.7 +/- 0.1 ml/min to a peak flow of 2.2 +/- 0.3 ml/min (P less than 0.05). On immersion, plasma venous and arterial ANF levels increased significantly by 29 and 21% from the preimmersion values of 183 +/- 14 and 222 +/- 20 pg/ml, respectively. The arterial-venous difference for plasma ANF was maintained at 35 +/- 14 pg/ml (P less than 0.05) during WI; therefore venous sampling may suffice as a measure of circulating ANF levels. Sodium excretion increased linearly during WI to a peak value of 228 +/- 32 mu eq/min from a base line of 52 +/- 12 mu eq/min (P less than 0.05). These data indicate that peripheral tissues extract ANF and that WI is a physiological stimulus for the release of ANF. However, the time course and magnitude of the changes in plasma ANF and urine sodium excretion during WI are not comparable, and other mechanisms are likely responsible for the WI natriuresis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A comparative study of the localization of 125I-labeled atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and 125I-labeled angiotensin II (ANG II) binding sites in the glomerulus of the rat, after an intravascular injection, has been done by ultrastructural radioautography. 125I-ANF binding sites are localized predominantly on the podocytes of the visceral epithelium (63%) followed by the endothelium of capillaries (14%), the parietal epithelium (13%), and finally mesangial cells (10%). In a comparative study, it was confirmed that 125I-ANG II uptake is localized predominantly on mesangial cells (60%) followed by epithelial visceral cells (23%) and the endothelium of capillaries (16%). Using isolated rat glomeruli, it was confirmed that ANG II decreases glomerular size (maximum effect of 15%) with an apparent half maximum effective concentration (EC50) between 10(-9) and 10(-8) M. Although ANF alone has no apparent effect on glomerular size, it inhibits the contractile effect of ANG II with a half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) between 10(-11) and 10(-10) M. These results suggest that an intraglomerular mechanism other than glomerular arteriolar resistance may be involved in the modulation of glomerular filtration rate by ANF. The presence of 125I-ANF uptake mainly in foot processes of visceral epithelial cells of glomeruli in vivo and the inhibition of ANG II decrease in glomerular size by ANF in vitro raise the possibility that ANF may regulate the ultrafiltration coefficient by two mechanisms: modulation of glomerular permeability, and surface area.
