AI Article Synopsis
- Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is important for cardiovascular regulation, with its levels rising during atrial fibrillation (AF), although the exact mechanism behind this is not fully understood.
- During a study with rabbits experiencing rapid atrial pacing (RAP), it was found that ANP secretion increased while cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels decreased, alongside a reduction in Akt and GSK-3β phosphorylation in the atrial tissues.
- The interaction between ANP and its receptor NPR-A and the resulting decrease in PGC activity indicates that cGMP regulates ANP secretion through the Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway during atrial pacing.
Article Abstract
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. The ANP level increases during atrial fibrillation (AF), suggesting that AF may provoke ANP secretion, but its potential mechanism is still unclear. In the present study, the potential mechanisms of rapid atrial pacing (RAP) regulating ANP secretion was explored. Rabbits were subjected to burst RAP, ANP secretion increased whereas cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) concentrations decreased during RAP. The p-Akt and p-GSK-3β levels decreased in atrial tissues. Natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A) protein and particulate guanylate cyclase (PGC) activity were detected. The sensitivity of NPR-A to ANP decreased, leading to the decrease of PGC activity. Also, the isolated atrial perfusion system were made in the rabbit model, cGMP was shown to inhibit ANP secretion, and the Akt inhibitor LY294002 (LY) and GSK-3β inhibitor SB216763 (SB) attenuated the inhibitory effects of cGMP on ANP secretion and enhanced the inhibitory effects of cGMP on atrial dynamics. In conclusion, NPR-A interacts with ANP to regulate PGC expression, and influence the expression of cGMP during RAP, which involves in the Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway. From the aforementioned points we conclude that cGMP regulates ANP secretion by the Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway during atrial pacing.

Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) relaxation by guanylyl cyclases (GCs) and cGMP is mediated by NO and its receptor soluble GC (sGC) or natriuretic peptides (NPs) ANP/BNP and CNP with the receptors GC-A and GC-B, respectively. It is commonly accepted that cultured SMCs differ from those in intact vessels. Nevertheless, cell culture often remains the first step for signaling investigations and drug testing.

Background: Genetic screening has advanced from prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening for aneuploidies (cfDNA-ANP) to single-gene disorders (cfDNA-SGD). Clinical validation studies have been promising in pregnancies with anomalies but are limited in the general population.
Methods: Chart review and laboratory data identified pregnancies with cfDNA-SGD screening for 25 autosomal dominant conditions at our academic center.

Background: The role of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 (VitD) and sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) in mitigating pathological cardiac remodeling is well recognized. However, the potential for SIRT1 to mediate the inhibitory effects of VitD on angiotensin II (Ang II) -induced hypertrophy in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts remains unclear.
Methods: H9c2 cardiomyoblasts were exposed to Ang II or a combination of VitD and Ang II, both in the absence and presence of SIRT1-specific siRNA.

Chronic pressure overload induces adverse cardiac remodelling characterised by left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and fibrosis, leading to heart failure (HF). Identification of new biomarkers for adverse cardiac remodelling enables us to better understand this process and, consequently, to prevent HF. We recently identified clusterin (CLU) as a biomarker of cardiac remodelling and HF after myocardial infarction.
