Chromogranin A (CgA) is a member of the granin family of acidic proteins that present in the secretory granules (SGs) of many endocrine, neuroendocrine and neuronal cells. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-storing SGs in atrial cardiomyocytes of rat heart also contain CgA. Cardiosuppressive effect of CgA-derived peptides (vasostatins) on in vitro isolated and perfused working frog and rat hearts has been shown under both basal conditions and beta-adrenergic stimulation. More recently it has been revealed that rat heart produces and processes CgA-derived vasostatin-containing peptides. Until now nothing has been known about the presence of CgA in an amphibian heart. We have investigated the subcellular localization of CgA in atrial myocytes of adult frog Rana temporaria heart using ultraimmunocytochemical method. Immunocytochemical staining of the frog atrial tissue for CgA and ANP has shown that out of three morphologically different types (A, B and D) of specific cytoplasmic granules (SCGs) present in myocytes only two (A and B)--large (120-200 nm in diameter) granules with more and with less electron dense core--exhibit immunoreactivity (IR) to these two antigens. The third type (D) of granules (80-100 nm in diameter) are small membrane bound granules characterized by highly electron dense core surrounded with a thin halo. These granules revealed negative reaction on immunostaining for both CgA and ANP. The presence of CgA- and ANP-IR in the same SCGs in frog atrial myocytes is consistent with the endocrine nature of these granules. Taking into account our and literature data we propose that CgA present in frog atrial cardiomyocite SCGs might be a precursor of vasostatin-containing peptides, as it takes place in rat heart. It is possible that these CgA-derived peptides together with ANP exert their regulatory function through the autocrine and/or paracrine mechanisms and play important cardioprotective role in frog heart under stress condition.
