We have recently shown that the plasma brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level is elevated in acute ischemic stroke patients, but the origin and role of BNP remain unclear. We investigated whether human astrocytes secrete BNP under hypoxia, and if so, what signaling pathway is involved, and what is the role of BNP. Human astrocytoma cell line U373MG was exposed to hypoxia by Anaeropack. BNP gene expression was increased by 3.9 +/- 2.5- and 6.5 +/- 2.9-fold at 12 and 24 h after hypoxia respectively (n=6, both P
