Autocrine Regulation of Inducible Nitric-oxide Synthase in
Macrophages by Atrial Natriuretic Peptide

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a
cardiovascular hormone, has been shown to inhibit synthesis of nitric
oxide in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated mouse bone marrow-derived
macrophages via activation of its guanylate cyclase-coupled receptor.
The goal of the present study was to elucidate the potential sites of
inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) regulation affected by ANP and
revealed the following. 1) ANP and dibutyryl-cGMP did not inhibit
catalytic iNOS activity measured by the conversion rate of
L-[3H]arginine to
L-[3H]citrulline in homogenates of
LPS-treated cells. 2) Pretreatment of cells with ANP
dose-dependently reduced the LPS-induced
L-[3H]citrulline production that has been
shown to be due to reduced iNOS protein levels detected by Western
blot. 3) ANP does not alter the ratio of catalytically active iNOS
dimer versus inactive iNOS monomer considered to be a major
post-translational regulatory mechanism for the enzyme. 4) Macrophages
exposed to ANP display decreased LPS-induced iNOS mRNA levels. 5)
Importantly, two basic mechanisms seem to be responsible for this
observation, i.e. ANP specifically induced acceleration of
iNOS mRNA decay and ANP reduced binding activity of NF- B, the
transcription factor predominantly responsible for LPS-induced iNOS
expression in murine macrophages. Moreover, 6) ANP acts via an
autocrine mechanism since recently ANP was shown to be secreted by
LPS-activated macrophages, and we demonstrated here that LPS-induced NO
synthesis was increased after blocking the binding of endogenous ANP by
a receptor antagonist. These observations suggest ANP as a new
autocrine macrophage factor regulating NO synthesis both
transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally. ANP may help to balance
NO production of activated macrophages and thus may allow successful
immune response without adverse effects on host cells.
