Biological activities of a variety of synthetic human (h) and rat (r) atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and related peptides as assessed by receptor binding and cyclic GMP response, and regulation of vascular ANP receptors were studied in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in culture. alpha-hANP1-28 and alpha-hANP7-28 equally inhibited the binding of 125I-labeled-alpha-hANP to its vascular receptors, whereas Met(O)12-alpha-hANP1-28 was less potent and reduced and carboxymethylated (RCM)-alpha-hANP1-28 was ineffective. rANP5-27 and rANP5-28 were equipotent in receptor binding, whereas rANP5-25 had somewhat less potent effect and rANP8-28 fragment was ineffective. alpha-hANP1-28, alpha-hANP7-28, rANP5-27 and rANP5-28 similarly stimulated intracellular cyclic GMP formation, whereas rANP5-25 showed less stimulatory effect, and RCM-alpha-hANP1-28, Met12-sulfoxide and rANP fragment were ineffective. Pretreatment with unlabeled alpha-hANP (3.2 X 10(-9) and 3.2 X 10(-8)M) for 24 hrs resulted in a substantial reduction (55 and 75%) of total receptor number without changing the affinity of ANP receptors. These results suggest that the common ring structure formed by the disulfide bond in the molecule is critical for receptor binding and subsequent biological actions, and that a hydrophobic amino acid located at the position of 12, and (24-26) residues at the C-terminal side, but not (1-6) at the N-terminal side, of the disulfide bridge may play a part in modulating receptor binding and/or biological functions. The present study also indicates "down-regulation" of vascular ANP receptors by homologous ligand.

D006152	Cyclic GMP	Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.
