The secretory mechanism of rat atrial natriuretic peptide (rANP) was studied in vitro with the use of primary culture of atrial myocytes from neonatal rats. Norepinephrine, phenylephrine, and carbamylcholine stimulated immunoreactive (IR) rANP secretion, whereas neither angiotensin II, arginine vasopressin, nor isoproterenol affected its secretion. The stimulatory effects of carbamylcholine and phenylephrine were blocked by atropine and prazosin, respectively. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-beta-acetate (TPA), protein kinase C activator, induced a dose-dependent increase in IR rANP secretion, and TPA combined with Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin produced a synergistic effect. Ca2+-channel agonist BAY K 8644 also stimulated IR rANP secretion, the effect of which was blocked by Ca2+-channel antagonist nifedipine. These data suggest that alpha 1-adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic agonists have direct action on rat cardiocytes to stimulate ANP secretion that involves receptor-mediated mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and activation of protein kinase C.
