Endothelial cells produce C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), which has been proposed as an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor. In porcine coronary arteries, we investigated the vasodilatory effects of CNP and compared them with endothelium-dependent relaxations and hyperpolarizations to bradykinin. Isolated epicardial porcine coronary arteries were studied in organ chambers, and concentration-response curves to CNP and bradykinin were obtained. Membrane potential was measured in endothelial cells and smooth muscle of intact porcine coronary arteries during stimulation with CNP or bradykinin. In precontracted porcine coronary arteries with or without endothelium, CNP (10[-10]-10[-6] M) evoked relaxations (maximum, 42 +/- 4%) smaller than those evoked by bradykinin (100 +/- 1%), blunted in preparations contracted by KCl instead of U46619 (9,11-dideoxy-11a,9a-epoxymethano-prostaglandin F2alpha; p < 0.05) and unaffected by inhibition of NO synthase (NS). CNP evoked hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle of similar magnitude in endothelium-intact (-4.4 +/- 1 mV) and endothelium-denuded (-4.6 +/- 1 mV) porcine coronary arteries. Bradykinin (10[-10]-10[-6] M) evoked concentration-dependent relaxations in preparations with endothelium only. Although atrial natriuretic peptide-receptor antagonist HS-142-1 (25 microM) slightly reduced the sensitivity to bradykinin (log shift at IC50, twofold; p < 0.05), it had no effect on the maximal response to bradykinin. Inhibition of NO synthase partially attenuated, whereas high potassium chloride (30 mM) markedly inhibited relaxations to bradykinin (p < 0.05). Hyperpolarization to bradykinin was much more pronounced than that to CNP (-17 +/- 3 mV; p < 0.05 vs. CNP) and was observed in endothelium-intact preparations only and unaffected by HS-142-1. In conclusion, in contrast to bradykinin, CNP induces endothelium-independent and weaker relaxation and hyperpolarization of coronary artery vascular smooth muscle, suggesting that CNP is an unlikely mediator of endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization of porcine coronary arteries.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D001920 Bradykinin A nonapeptide messenger that is enzymatically produced from KALLIDIN in the blood where it is a potent but short-lived agent of arteriolar dilation and increased capillary permeability. Bradykinin is also released from MAST CELLS during asthma attacks, from gut walls as a gastrointestinal vasodilator, from damaged tissues as a pain signal, and may be a neurotransmitter.

D020098 Natriuretic Peptide, C-Type A PEPTIDE of 22 amino acids, derived mainly from cells of VASCULAR ENDOTHELIUM. It is also found in the BRAIN, major endocrine glands, and other tissues. It shares structural homology with ATRIAL NATRIURETIC FACTOR. It has vasorelaxant activity thus is important in the regulation of vascular tone and blood flow. Several high molecular weight forms containing the 22 amino acids have been identified.
