The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is suggested to regulate inflammatory response by alteration of macrophage functions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ANP influences production of TNF-{alpha}. TNF-{alpha} production in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages was induced by LPS, and TNF-{alpha} secretion (±ANP) was determined by L929 bioassay. ANP dose dependently (10-8–10-6 M) inhibited TNF-{alpha} release by up to 95%. The effect was mediated via the guanylate cyclase-coupled A receptor, as was shown by employing dibutyryl-cGMP, the cGMP-inhibitory compound Ly-83583, and the A receptor antagonist HS-142-1. A specific ligand of the natriuretic peptide "clearance" receptor inhibited TNF-{alpha} production only at 10-7 and 10-8 M, but not at 10-6 M. The B receptor ligand C-type natriuretic peptide showed no TNF-{alpha}-inhibitory effect. To investigate the underlying mechanism of ANP-mediated TNF-{alpha} inhibition, Northern blot was performed. ANP-treated macrophages displayed decreased TNF-{alpha}-mRNA levels. Besides the known inhibition of NF-{kappa}B activation, in this study we demonstrated that ANP also attenuates the activation of the proinflammatory transcription factor AP-1 (gel shift assay). ANP did not alter subunit composition of AP-1 complexes, as was shown by supershift assays applying anti-c-jun and anti-c-fos Abs. To get information on the ANP effect for human inflammatory processes, we investigated cytokine production in human LPS-activated blood. ANP significantly attenuated production of TNF-{alpha} and IL-1ß without affecting production of IL-10 and IL-1ra. In summary, ANP was shown to attenuate TNF-{alpha} production of LPS-activated macrophages via cGMP. The inhibition is suggested to involve transcriptional processes that are the result of reduced activation of responsible transcription factors.
