RESUMO
Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) (1 microM) markedly increased cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) content in microdissected glomeruli (35-fold) and in microdissected inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD) (20-fold). ANF caused little or no increase in cGMP content in other nephron segments. The threshold concentration for increased cGMP accumulation by ANF was 0.1-1 nM in IMCD, which is in the range reported for rat plasma. Sodium nitroprusside (1 mM), which selectively stimulates soluble guanylate cyclase, increased cGMP content in glomeruli but not in IMCD. ANF did not alter cAMP accumulation in the absence or presence of vasopressin (AVP) or parathyroid hormone (PTH) in outer and inner medullary tubule suspensions, or in microdissected proximal convoluted tubules (PCT), medullary thick ascending limbs (MAL) or IMCD. These data are compatible with the hypothesis that cGMP is a second messenger for a physiologic action of ANF in the inner medullary collecting duct. ANF apparently activates membrane-bound guanylate cyclase in this segment.
