In recent years, considerable evidence has been accumulated on prostaglandins (PG) in modulating atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) release. In the current study we investigated whether eicosanoids promote isoproterenol-induced ANP secretion from superfused rabbit sliced atria. Inclusion of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin (10 mumol) to the superfusing medium abolished isoproterenol-induced ANP release. Next, PGE2, but not PGF2 alpha or PGI2 (10 mumol), increased ANP release. Furthermore, isoproterenol-induced PGE2 formation was fully attenuated by indomethacin. Dibutyl-cAMP (0.5 mmol) had no effect on PGE2 formation, and the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H89 (20 mumol) did not alter isoproterenol-induced PGE2 formation. On the other hand, indomethacin led to a significant decrease in isoproterenol-induced cAMP production. In addition, PGE2 enhanced basal cAMP concentration in superfusates. Superfusion of sliced atria by forskolin (10 mumol) or by dibutyl-cAMP (0.5 mmol) produced a significant rise in ANP release. Finally, H89 was ineffective on basal ANP release but abolished the increase of ANP release in response to isoproterenol or to PGE2. We conclude that: the effect of isoproterenol on ANP release is sensitive to indomethacin and H89; PGE2, but not PGE2 alpha or PGI2, increases ANP release; isoproterenol promotes myocardial PGE2 formation independently of adenylate cyclase and PKA activation pathways; and PGE2-induced ANP release is mediated by cAMP production and subsequent PKA activation. These results suggest that isoproterenol-induced ANP release appears to be mediated at least partly by PGE2 with underlying cAMP formation and PKA activation.
