Atrial natriuretic factor increases splenic microvascular pressure and fluid extravasation in the rat

Abstract: The spleen is an important site of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)‐induced fluid extravasation into the systemic lymphatic system. The mechanism underlying this process was studied in a blood‐perfused (1 ml min−1) rat spleen using the double occlusion technique. To ensure that our observations were spleen specific, a similar protocol was repeated in the hindquarters. Rat ANF(1‐28), infused into the splenic artery of anaesthetized male rats, caused a dose‐dependent (0.3‐59 pmol min−1) increase in microvascular … Show more

“…Our future studies will be directed toward addressing this question and specifically toward elucidating the role of renal endothelial ANP effects. Within the spleen, ANP stimulates fluid extravasation into the lymphatic system by raising intrasplenic microvascular pressure (30). ANP causes vasoconstriction in the splenic vasculature (of veins more than of arteries) by an endothelium-independent mechanism, mediated by GC-A (31).…”

“…Changes in capillary endothelial permeability seem not to be involved. The splenic capillary beds have a discontinuous endothelium (32) and are freely permeable to plasma proteins (33); i.e., there is no colloid osmotic gradient across the capillary wall to oppose fluid efflux, and modest increases in splenic microvascular hydraulic pressure are able to induce a significant increase in fluid extravasation (30). Thus, although the spleen is an important site of ANP-induced fluid extravasation, this action of ANP is not mediated by the endothelium and therefore is unlikely to be compromised in EC GC-A KO mice.…”

“…To discriminate between the roles of the NP A and NP B receptors, A71915 was used to selectively block NP A receptors. 19,20 A71915 is a structural analog of ANP 19 with a binding affinity to rat NP A receptors only 22 times less potent than native rat ANP . 21 …”
