Increased intrarenal atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) mRNA expression has been reported in several disorders. To further investigate the action of renal ANP, we need to elucidate the exact site of its alteration in diseased kidneys. ANP mRNA and ANP were detected by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry in the kidneys from five normal and five diabetic rats. Renal ANP mRNA in eight normal and nine diabetic rats was measured by RT-PCR with Southern blot hybridization. In normal and diabetic rats, the distribution of ANP mRNA and ANP-like peptide was mainly located in proximal, distal, and collecting tubules. However, diabetic rats had significant enhancement of ANP mRNA and ANP-immunoreactive staining in the proximal straight tubules, medullary thick ascending limbs, and medullary collecting ducts. ANP mRNA in the outer and inner medulla of nine diabetic rats increased 5.5-fold and 3.5-fold, but only 1.8-fold in the renal cortex. This preliminary study showed that ANP mRNA and ANP immunoreactivity in proximal straight tubules, medullary thick ascending limb, and medullary collecting ducts apparently increased in diabetic kidneys. These findings imply that ANP synthesis in these nephrons may involve in adaptations of renal function in diabetes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
