Özet

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of putative products of the ADM gene, other than ADM including, prodepin, proADM45-92 and proADM153-185 on cat pulmonary arterial (PA) rings with or without precontraction with U46619. Addition of proADM153-185 (3×10-10-10-6M) increased tension in a concentration-dependent manner in cat PA rings without precontraction. When vessels were precontracted with U46619, ADM(3×10-10-10-6M) produced a concentration-dependent vasorelaxant response, whereas proADMus-iss produced a weak concentration-dependent contractile response. Prodepin and proADM45-92 up to 10-6M had no activity on PA rings. Since proADM1531̄85, similar to ADM, would be expected to be released in free form following endopeptidase-induced cleavage, the present data suggest proADM undergoes proteolytic processing to release peptides with divergent vascular effects.Thus, the present data also suggest that proADM153-185 may represent a novel product of the ADM gene and term this putative new substance "adrenotensin". © 1995.
