Cultured cardiac myocytes provide a useful system for investigating ANF biosynthesis and regulation. It has previously been demonstrated that the predominant form of ANF stored in and released from this myocyte model is the 17kD prohormone, proANF. We report here that as quantitated both by radioimmunoassay and by SDS-PAGE of intrinsically labelled ANF released from these cardiocytes, the addition of serum promotes a 5–6 fold increase in ANF accumulation in the medium of these cells as compared to ANF accumulation in the presence of a defined chemical medium alone. The stimulating effect of serum is immediate and persists in a linear manner for at least 120 minutes. This effect of serum can be reproduced by the addition of albumin or other proteins to the medium but not by alterations in osmolality. Whether this phenomenon represents enhanced release of proANF or is secondary to inhibition of proANF degradation has yet to be determined.
