Summary

Dissociated cell culture preparations from rat and guinea-pig atria and interatrial septum, and from rat ventricles were studied using a combined autoradiographic and immunocytochemical approach. Alphaatrial natriuretic peptide (125I-ANP1-128) binding sites were confined to subpopulations of identified non-neuronal cells in each type of culture preparation, and had distinct patterns of labelling. The density of ANP1-28 binding sites was substantially greater in guinea-pig cultures than in rat cultures and was least in rat ventricular cultures. ANP1-28-labelled subpopulations of S-100-like immunoreactive glial cells were only seen in guinea-pig cultures. Von Willebrand factor (vWF)-like immunoreactive endothelial cells and vWF-negative endothelioid cells expressed ANP1-28 binding sites in both the guinea-pig and rat atrial cultures, but were unlabelled in rat ventricular cultures. In contrast, labelled subpopulations of fibronectin-like immunoreactive fibroblasts were present in all of the three types of culture preparation studied. ANP-like immunoreactive myocytes were present in both atrial and ventricular cultures. These cells did not, however, express ANP1-28 binding sites.
