Specific binding sites of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a newly discovered peptide in the subfornical organ (SFO) of porcine brain were investigated, following incubation of related tissue sections with 125I-BNP, then using autoradiography and an image analysis coupled with computer-assisted microdensitometry. Specific 125I-BNP binding sites were found to be localized in the SFO, an area densely labeled by 125I-alpha-rat atrial natriuretic peptide and 125I-(Sar1,Ile8)-angiotensin II. Specific 125I-BNP binding to the SFO was displaced by unlabeled BNP, with a high affinity, and was calculated to be Ka = 0.385 x 10(-9) M and Bmax = 40.1 fmol/mg using a LIGAND computer program. Acquisition of these present findings enhances our knowledge of the physiology of BNP, atrial natriuretic peptides and angiotensin II system in the SFO.
利用放射自显影、图像分析及计算机辅助显微密度测定法,研究了脑钠肽(BNP)在猪脑穹窿下器(SFO)中的特异性结合位点。相关组织切片与125I-BNP孵育后,发现125I-BNP特异性结合位点定位于SFO,该区域被125I-α-大鼠心钠素和125I-(Sar1,Ile8)-血管紧张素II密集标记。未标记的BNP可高亲和力取代SFO上特异性结合的125I-BNP,使用LIGAND计算机程序计算得Ka = 0.385×10(-9)M,Bmax = 40.1 fmol/mg。这些研究结果增进了我们对SFO中BNP、心钠素和血管紧张素II系统生理学的认识。
