Natriuretic peptides cause relaxation of human esophageal mucosal muscle
چکیده انگلیسی
Natriuretic peptides have been demonstrated to cause relaxation of the human gallbladder muscle through interaction with natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B/NPR2). Effects of natriuretic peptides in the human esophageal muscle were unknown. To investigate the effects of natriuretic peptides in the human esophagus, we measured relaxation of muscularis mucosae strips isolated from the human esophagus caused by C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and des[Gln18, Ser19, Gly20, Leu21, Gly22]ANP(4-23) amide (cANP(4-23)), a selective natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C) agonist. In endothelin-1 or carbachol-contracted mucosal muscle strips, CNP caused moderate, sustained and concentration-dependent relaxation. BNP caused a very mild relaxation whereas ANP and cANP(4-23) did not cause any relaxation. CNP was much more potent than BNP and ANP in causing relaxation. These suggest the existence of NPR-B mediating relaxation. The CNP-induced relaxation was not affected by tetrodotoxin or atropine in endothelin-1-contracted esophageal strips and not by tetrodotoxin in carbachol-contracted strips, indicating a direct effect of CNP on the human esophageal muscularis mucosae. Taken together, these results demonstrate that natriuretic peptides cause relaxation of the muscularis mucosae of the human esophagus and suggest that the relaxation is through interaction with NPR-B. Natriuretic peptides may play an important role in the control of human esophageal motility.
