Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) produce extracellular matrix proteins and participate in the remodeling of the heart. It is unknown if brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is synthesized by Us and if BNP participates in the regulation of extracellular matrix turnover. In this study, we examined the production of BNP in adult canine Us and the role of BNP and its signaling system on collagen synthesis and on the activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). BNP mRNA was detected in CFs, and a specific radioimmunoassay demonstrated that BNP1-32 was secreted into the media at a rate of 11.2 +/- 1.0 pg/10(5) cells per 48 hours (mean +/- SEM). The amount of BNP secretion was significantly (P
