Previous studies have shown that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) attenuates agonist-induced pulmonary edema and this effect may be mediated in part by the ANP clearance receptor, receptor-C (NPR-C). Obesity has been associated with lower plasma levels due to increased expression of NPR-C, decreased severity acute lung injury (ALI). Therefore, we hypothesized NPR-C attenuate ALI obese populations. To test this, examined Npr3 wild-type (WT) knockout (KO) mice fed normal chow (NC) or high-fat diets (HFD). After 12 weeks, was induced intra-tracheal administration Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 103 (PA103) saline. determined wet-to-dry ratio (W/D) along measurement cell count, protein from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), quantitative polymerase chain reaction performed on whole measure cytokine/chemokine mRNA expression. were measured plasma. PA103 caused as significant increases W/D, BALF concentration, lungs regardless diet. There a nonsignificant trend toward WT HFD versus NC. No differences seen between WT-fed NC, but KO had significantly greater W/D concentration than HFD. These findings support hypothesis help protect against obesity.
