Background:
Vasonatrin peptide (VNP) is a chimera of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) with potent venodilating and natriuretic activity.
Vasonatrin peptide binds with both natriuretic peptide receptor A and B, but with a preference for B. VNP-stimulated cGMP is 11-fold greater in NPRB than NPRA[1].
The high-fat diet-fed streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats are subjected to ischemia-reperfusion operation. VNP treatment (100 g/kg iv, 10 min before reperfusion) significantly improved the instantaneous first derivation of left ventricle pressure (LV dP/dtmax) and LV systolic pressure and reduced LV end-diastolic pressure, apoptosis index, caspase-3 activity, plasma creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities[2]. Treatment hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH) with Vasonatrin peptide for 1 week significantly reduceS mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, RVH and muscularization of the pulmonary arteries. Acute intravenous administration of 50 microg/kg Vasonatrin peptide significantly ameliorates pulmonary haemodynamics in HPH rats[3].

Protocol:
Animal experiment: | Rats[2]The hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH) model is developed by subjecting rats to hypobaric hypoxia. The HPH rats are then treated with either VNP (50 lg/kg per day, i.p.) or saline (0.5 mL, i.p.) every day for 7 days. Haemodynamic indices, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and remodelling of the pulmonary arteries are evaluated. In addition, plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), endothelin (ET)-1 and angiotensin II (AngII) are determined, as is natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C) mRNA expression in the right ventricle[2]. |
