Role of atrial natriuretic factor in renin release.
Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was studied for its effect on renin release by rat renal cortical slices. ANF (rat) alone (10(-9)-10(-6) M) had no effect on basal renin release, but significantly (P less than 0.001) potentiated angiotensin II (AII) inhibition of renin secretion in doses as low as 10(-9) M. ANF also potentiated the inhibitory effect of AII on 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride (which alters intracellular calcium) and calmidazolium (a calmodulin blocker) effects on renin release. ANF did not inhibit the action of isoproterenol, which probably acts through cAMP, at doses below micromolar concentrations. Large, probably pharmacological amounts (greater than 10(-6) M) produce some inhibition. Since AII action on renin is associated with increases in intracellular calcium, our studies suggest that ANF acts by altering the intracellular calcium-calmodulin-mediated steps of AII action on this tissue and not via cAMP.
