Because atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) has been demonstrated to decrease resistances in cortical renal vessels in vivo, we studied 125I-ANF binding and ANF-dependent guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) production in subcultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) prepared from the rabbit renal cortex. 125I-ANF specific binding at 4 degrees C represented 70% of total binding and reached a plateau at 30-60 min. Equilibrium saturation binding curves suggested one group of high-affinity receptor sites (KD = 78 +/- 16 pM, Bmax = 45 +/- 11 fmol/mg) but were compatible with several groups exhibiting close binding parameters. ANF, [Ala7,Ala23]ANF (a linear analogue), and C-ANF-(4-23) (a ligand of C receptors) inhibited 125I-ANF binding at 37 degrees C with nearly similar potencies. In contrast, at 4 degrees C, complete or nearly complete inhibition of binding was obtained with ANF and linear ANF, the latter exhibiting the weakest potency, whereas C-ANF-(4-23) displaced only 35% of the tracer. ANF markedly stimulated cGMP accumulation, with a threshold concentration of 10 pM and a stimulation of 115 times basal value at 0.1 microM. Linear ANF was also stimulatory with a much weaker potency. Around 25% of 125I-ANF bound to cell surface was internalized at 37 degrees C. Phenylarsine oxide partially inhibited internalization as well as the inhibitory potency of C-ANF-(4-23) on 125I-ANF binding. As shown by high-performance liquid chromatography extracellular 125I-ANF was rapidly degraded at 37 degrees C into its 125I-COOH-terminal tripeptide and 125I-Tyr.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
