Inhibition of atrial natriuretic peptide-induced cGMP accumulation by purinergic agonists in FRTL-5 thyroid cells. Involvement of both pertussis toxin-sensitive and insensitive mechanisms.
Extracellular ATP, N6-(L-2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine (PIA) and other purinergic agonists inhibited atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-induced cGMP accumulation in FRTL-5 thyroid cells. These agonists were functionally classified into three groups. Group 1 agonists represented by ATP inhibited the ANP action in association with phospholipase C activation in a partially islet-activating protein ( IAP, pertussis toxin)-sensitive manner. Group 2 including GTP and 8-bromoadenosine 5'-triphosphate acted similarly to Group 1 except for total insensitivity of the former to IAP. The IAP-insensitive portion of Group 1 actions and the actions of Group 2 as well as of A23187, a Ca2+ ionophore which mimicked the Group 2 agonist actions, were almost completely inhibited by phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as M & B 22948 (2-O-propoxyphenyl-8-azapurin-6-one) and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. Group 3 including PIA and AMP did not affect phospholipase C, but inhibited the ANP performance in an IAP-sensitive fashion. This action of Group 3 and the IAP-sensitive portion of Group 1 actions were insensitive to the phosphodiesterase inhibitors. We conclude that ATP and other Group 1 agonists attenuated the ANP-induced cGMP accumulation by at least two mechanisms: 1) stimulation of cGMP hydrolysis via a phospholipase C-Ca2(+)-phosphodiesterase system and 2) inhibition of cGMP generation, probably by an IAP-sensitive G-protein- mediated inactivation of the ANP-receptor-coupled guanylate cyclase. Group 2 agonists stimulate only the first mechanisms, whereas Group 3 agonists prefer the second one.[1]References
