A synthetic oligonucleotide probe complementary to messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) encoding for the C-terminal portion of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) has been used to study the expression of the ANF gene in rat myocardium. Four experimental models were studied: binephrectomy (for 48 h); ligature of both ureters (for 48 h); deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt (for 3 wk); and aortocaval fistula (for 2 wk). Analysis of atrial RNA by gel-blot hybridization detected a single band, corresponding in length to that of mRNA coding for ANF. Such an mRNA was also detected in ventricular RNA but was 1/50th as abundant. In the four experimental groups ANF mRNA was increased significantly as compared with controls. In all rats there was no significant difference in the ANF mRNA content between the left and the right atrium. Each experimental condition was accompanied by a highly significant increase in ANF gene expression in the left ventricle, where all of the ventricular tissue could be recruited and with a negative gradient from the base to the apex of the left ventricle. These data were confirmed by in situ hybridization. Thus all of the atrial and ventricular myocardium can express the ANF gene. Recruitment increases in response to passive stretch of the cardiac chambers.
