The induction of growth hormone synthesis and mRNA by thyroid hormone in cultured GH1 cells is mediated by the thyroid hormone nuclear receptor. In addition, the regulation of the growth hormone response by glucocorticoid is highly dependent on the action of thyroid hormone. To clarify whether thyroid hormone has a general influence on glucocorticoid action in GH1 cells, the glucocorticoid induction of growth hormone and glutamine synthetase was simultaneously examined. In contrast to the growth hormone response, the induction of glutamine synthetase by glucocorticoid was not influenced by thyroid hormone. Both responses appear to be modulated by the glucocorticoid receptor, and thyroid hormone had no influence on nuclear-associated glucocorticoid receptor levels. These results suggest that the thyroid hormone control of glucocorticoid induction of growth hormone may be a selective process, and the nuclear associated receptors for both thyroid and glucocorticoid hormones interrelate to control the growth hormone response. 相似文献

Pre-proparathyroid hormone: analysis of radioactive tryptic peptides and amino acid sequence. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The amino acid sequence of bovine pre-proparathyroid hormone has been partially determined by analysis of the polypeptide labeled selectively with radioactive amino acids. Analysis of tryptic peptides containing methionine or lysine indicated that parathyroid hormone, proparathyroid hormone, and pre-proparathyroid hormone had several common peptides. Two lysine-containing peptides present in proparathyroid hormone but not in parathyroid hormone were also present in pre-proparathyroid hormone. In addition, pre-proparathyroid hormone contained several additional lysine- and methionine-containing peptides not present in parathyroid hormone or proparathyroid hormone. Analysis by repetitive Edman degradation of the polypeptide labeled with lysine, methionine, and other amino acids indicated that pre-proparathyroid hormone contained 25 additional amino acids at the amino terminus of proparathyroid hormone; the identities of 17 of the 25 amino acids have been established. An unusual feature found was the presence of methionyl-methionyl at the amino terminus and the presence of 5 methionines within the first 14 amino acids. 相似文献

A radioimmunoassay (RIA) for juvenile hormone III has been established which quantifies the biosynthesis of this hormone in vitro by the corpora allata of larvae and pupae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. The specificity of the RIA for homologues and metabolites of juvenile hormone III was determined and it was found that the antibody was specific for juvenile hormone III and its acid. The juvenile hormone III RIA activity synthesized in vitro by corpora allata from day-5 last-instar larvae was identified as juvenile hormone III by high pressure liquid chromatography. The kinetics of hormone synthesis by corpora allata from selected stages during larval-pupal development revealed differential rates of synthesis, suggesting that juvenile hormone III may have a hormonal function in the larva and that regulation of its synthesis may occur. The significance of these developmental fluctuations in rates of juvenile hormone III synthesis by the corpora allata is discussed in relation to the haemolymph titres of the hormone. 相似文献

1. Plasma membranes were purified from bovine kidney cortex, with a fourfold increase in specific activity of parathyroid hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase over that in the crude homogenate. The membranes were characterized by enzyme studies. 2. Parathyroid hormone was labelled with (125)I by an enzymic method and the labelled hormone shown to bind to the plasma membranes and to be specifically displaced by unlabelled hormone. Parathyroid hormone labelled by the chloramine-t procedure showed no specific binding. (75)Se-labelled human parathyroid hormone, prepared in cell culture, also bound to the membranes. 3. Parathyroid hormone was shown to retain biological activity after iodination by the enzymic method, but no detectable activity remained after chloramine-t treatment. 4. High concentration of pig insulin inhibited binding of labelled parathyroid hormone to plasma membranes and partially inhibited the hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity in a crude kidney-cortex preparation. 5. EDTA enhanced and Ca(2+) inhibited binding of labelled parathyroid hormone to plasma membranes. 6. Whereas rat kidney homogenates were capable of degrading labelled parathyroid hormone to trichloroacetic acid-soluble fragments, neither crude homogenates nor purified membranes from bovine kidney showed this property. 7. Binding of parathyroid hormone is discussed in relation to metabolism and initial events in hormone action. 相似文献

Bovine parathyroid tissue was placed in an in vitro perifusion system for the study of parathyroid hormone secretion stimulated by low calcium and dopamine. Dopamine caused a transient increase in parathyroid hormone release, while low calcium caused a sustained increase in parathyroid hormone secretion. The dopamine response was similar to that caused by isoproterenol. After parathyroid hormone release had been stimulated by dopamine there was no response to isoproterenol, suggesting they cause the release of the same cellular pool of hormone. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide eliminated the response to low calcium, with no effect on dopamine-stimulated parathyroid hormone release. These studies suggest dopamine stimulates the release of a limited quantity storage pool of parathyroid hormone, while low calcium causes a sustained release of hormone by stimulating secretion of newly synthesized hormone. Low calcium has little or no effect on release of the storage granule pool of parathyroid hormone. 相似文献

Receptors for thyrotropin-releasing hormone were solubilized by Triton X-100. Membrane fractions from GH3 pituitary tumor cells were incubated with thyrotropin-releasing hormone in order to saturate specific receptor sites before the addition of detergent. The amount of protein-bound hormone solubilized by Triton X-100 was proportional to the fractional saturation of specific membrane receptors. Increasing detergent: protein ratios from 0.5 to 20 led to a progressive loss of hormone · receptor complex from membrane fractions with a concomitant increase in soluble protein-bound hormone. The soluble hormone · receptor complex was not retained by 0.22 μm filters and remained soluble after ultracentrifugation. Following incubation with high (2.5–10%) concentration of Triton X-100 and other non-ionic detergents, or following repeated detergent extraction, at least 18% of specifically bound thyrotropin-releasing hormone remained associated with particulate material. Unlike the hormone receptor complex, the free hormone receptor was inactivated by Triton X-100. A 50% loss of binding activity was obtained with 0.01% Triton X-100, corresponding to a detergent: protein ratio of 0.033.The hormone · receptor complex was included in Sepharose 6B and exhibited an apparent Stokes radius of 46 Å in buffers containing Triton X-100. The complex aggregated in detergent-free buffers. Soluble hormone receptors were separated from excess detergent and thyrotropin-releasing hormone by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone dissociated from soluble receptors with a half-time of 120 min at 0°c, while the membrane hormone · receptor complex was stable for up to 5 h at 0°C. 相似文献

Cells were dispersed from bovine anterior pituitary glands, by digestion with collagenase, and cultured. After 4 days the cell monolayers were incubated with fresh medium containing synthetic hypophysiotropic peptides for 2, 6, or 20 h, and hormone released into the medium was estimated by radioimmunoassay. After 2 h, thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) stimulated the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) up to eightfold, and of prolactin (PRL) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) about twofold at a minimal effective concentration of 1 ng/ml; enhanced growth hormone (GH) release was not apparent until 20 h, and release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) was unaffected. Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH) enhanced release of LH maximally (three- to fourfold) during a 2 h incubation and was effective at 0.1 ng/ml; FSH release was significantly enhanced by about 50% above control level. Growth hormone release inhibiting hormone (GH-RIH)(somatostatin) showed significant effects only in the 20 h incubation; GH release was inhibited by 50% and release of PRL was slightly, but significantly, enhanced. Pituitary cell monolayers apparently permit maximal expression of releasing activities inherent in the hypothalamic hormones. 相似文献

Summary When the pituitary of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was incubated in a serum-free medium, a high level of growth hormone release as well as an activation of growth hormone synthesis were observed, suggesting the existence of hypothalamic inhibitory factor(s) on growth hormone synthesis. Although an inhibitory effect of somatostatin on growth hormone release is well established in both mammals and teleosts, an effect on growth hormone synthesis has not been demonstrated. In this study, we examined the effect of somatostatin on growth hormone synthesis in organ-cultured trout pituitary using immunoprecipitation and Northern blot analysis. Somatostatin inhibited growth hormone release from the cultured pituitary within 10 min after addition without affecting prolactin release. Incubation of the pituitary with somatostatin also caused a significant reduction in newly-synthesized growth hormone in a dose-related manner, as assessed by incorporation of [3H]leucine into immunoprecipitable growth hormone. There were no changes in the level or molecular length of growth hormone mRNA after somatostatin treatment, as assessed by Northern slot blot and Northern gel blot analyses. Human growth hormone-releasing factor stimulated growth hormone release, although the spontaneous synthesis of growth hormone was not augmented. However, somatostatin-inhibited growth hormone synthesis was restored by growth hormone-releasing factor to the control level. The spontaneous increase in growth hormone synthesis observed in the organ-cultured trout pituitary may be caused, at least in part, by the removal of the inhibitory effect of hypothalamic somatostatin.Abbreviations GH

In the caterpillar Trichoplusia ni (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) it has been demonstrated by allatectomy that the appearance of juvenile hormone during the prepupal stage is crucial for the successful larval-pupal ecdysis of most larvae. Application of juvenile hormone or juvenile hormone esterase inhibitors at key times disrupted normal development as well. Thus the subsequent disappearance of juvenile hormone is regulated by degradation by juvenile hormone esterase in addition to a hypothetical reduction in biosynthesis. This reduction in juvenile hormone titer in the prepupa is just as critical for normal development as was its previous appearance. These observations on the critical role of juvenile hormone in the prepupa are in contrast to observations in some other species. For instance, in the case of Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), juvenile hormone is considered only supplementary to the action of prothoracicotropic hormone in the postwandering stage and primarily is required for normal pupal development. It thus appears that even within the Lepidoptera the role of juvenile hormone in prepupal development can vary dramatically. 相似文献

Studies based on treatment with antibodies to thyrotropic hormone, luteotropic hormone, growth hormone or adrenocorticotropic hormone have shown that although the unicellular Tetrahymena does not possesssui generis receptors to all polypeptide hormones, such binding structures may arise, or become established in the membrane of the unicellular Tetrahymena in the presence of exogenous hormone. The Tetrahymena subjected to hormonal imprinting still contained an increased amount of hormone after six generation changes, which suggested that either hormone production had been induced by treatment, or the internalized hormone had not been degraded intracellularly. Thus the role of hormonal imprinting in receptor formation has also been substantiated by the immunocytochemical approach used in the present study. 相似文献

The ability of prolactin to influence the responsiveness of the lactating rat pituitary to luteinising hormone releasing hormone has been examinedin vitro. The pituitary responsivenessin vivo to luteinising hormone releasing hormone decreased as a function of increase in the lactational stimulus. Prolactin inhibited the spontaneousin vitro release of luteinising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone to a small extent, from the pituitary of lactating rats with the suckling stimulus. However, it significantly inhibited the release of these two hormones from luteinising hormone releasing hormone-stimulated pituitaries. The responsiveness of pituitaries of rats deprived of their litter 24 h earlier, to luteinising hormone releasing hormone was also inhibited by prolactin, although minimal. It was concluded that prolactin could be influencing the functioning of the pituitary of the lactating rat by (a) partially suppressing the spontaneous release of gonadotropin and (b) inhibiting the responsiveness of the pituitary to luteinising hormone releasing hormone. 相似文献

Culture of preovulatory rat follicles with luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone or prostaglandin E2 for 24 h reduced the subsequent response of adenylate cyclase to the homologous by 80, 50 and 90%, respectively; yet follicles refractory to luteinizing hormone fully responded to follicle-stimulating hormone responded to luteinizing hormone and prostaglandin E2, and those refractory to prostaglandin E2 could be stimulated by either gonadotropin. Desensitization of the adenylate cyclase system by luteinizing hormone was achieved by hormone concentrations of 0.8--2.0 mug/ml in the medium; a lower dose of luteinizing hormone (0.4 mug/ml), though effective in stimulating adenylate cyclase, did not induce refractoriness. Prostaglandin E2 caused partial refractoriness at dose levels of 0.1--0.25 mug/ml; higher dose levels were more effective. These findings suggest that continued exposure to the preovulatory follicle to elevated levels of hormones may cause perturbations in either the interaction between the hormone and its specific receptor or in a subsequent step essential for activation of adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

Pre-proparathyroid hormone is the major protein synthesized in wheat-germ extracts in response to addition of an 8-15S fraction of parathyroid RNA. The accuracy of the translation of the mRNA from parathyroid tissue was examined by analysis of the carboxyl-terminal tryptic peptide and the amino-terminal amino acid of the protein, by analysis of the size distribution of the mRNA, and by translation of the mRNA in a second cell-free extract. When 8-15S RNA was fractionated on a sucrose gradient containing formamide, RNA that supported the synthesis of pre-proparathyroid hormone was present in a single symmetrical peak, suggesting that it was homogeneous. Analyses by paper chromatography and electrophoresis of the proline-containing tryptic peptides of pre-proparathyroid hormone indicate that they are identical with the corresponding proline-containing peptides of parathyroid hormone. Because the COOH-terminal tryptic peptide of parathyroid hormone contains proline, the data indicate that the COOH termini of pre-proparathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone are identical. Methionine from initiator [35S]Met-tRNAfMet was rapidly incorporated into pre-proparathyroid hormone by the wheat-germ extract, and a single-step Edman degradation selectively removed almost all of the initiator [35S]methionine present in pre-proparathyroid hormone. Translation of the 8-15S RNA in a cell-free extract from Krebs-II ascites cells resulted in a protein that comigrated with pre-proparathyroid hormone on sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis. These data support the conclusion that the wheat-germ system accurately translates the mRNA for parathyroid hormone, and they strengthen the contention that pre-proparathyroid hormone is the initial biosynthetic product. 相似文献

We examined the possible involvement of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation in the secretory process and gene expression of prolactin and growth hormone. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) rapidly stimulated the secretion of both prolactin and growth hormone from GH3 cells. Secretion induced by TRH was not inhibited by 50 microM PD098059, but was completely inhibited by 1 microM wortmannin and 10 microM KN93, suggesting that MAP kinase does not mediate the secretory process. Stimulation of GH3 cells with TRH significantly increased the mRNA level of prolactin, whereas expression of growth hormone mRNA was largely attenuated. The increase in prolactin mRNA stimulated by TRH was inhibited by addition of PD098059, and the decrease in growth hormone mRNA was also inhibited by PD098059. Transfection of the cells with a pFC-MEKK vector (a constitutively active MAP kinase kinase kinase), significantly increased the synthesis of prolactin and decreased the synthesis of growth hormone. These data taken together indicate that MAP kinase mediates TRH-induced regulation of prolactin and growth hormone gene expression. Reporter gene assays showed that prolactin promoter activity was increased by TRH and was completely inhibited by addition of PD098059, but that the promoter activity of growth hormone was unchanged by TRH. These results suggest that TRH stimulates both prolactin and growth hormone secretion, but that the gene expressions of prolactin and growth hormone are differentially regulated by TRH and are mediated by different mechanisms. 相似文献

Growth hormone secretion is controlled by the two hypothalamic hormones, growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) and somatostatin. In addition, the insulin-like growth factors (IGF or somatomedins) which are themselves growth hormone dependent, inhibit growth hormone release in vitro, therefore acting to close the negative feedback loop. The studies reported here examine some of the differences between inhibition of growth hormone secretion by somatostatin and IGF-I in vitro. The major finding is that cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, blocks inhibition of GRF-stimulated growth hormone release caused by IGF-I, without changing the inhibition caused by somatostatin. The experiments were done by exposing mixed rat adenohypophysial cells to secretagogues with or without cycloheximide for 24 h in a short term culture. Somatostatin (0.6 nM) totally blocked rat GRF (1 nM) stimulated growth hormone release to values 48% of control (nonstimulated values), while IGF-I (27 nM) only reduced the GRF-stimulated growth hormone release by 27 +/- 3% (N = 5). Cycloheximide (15 micrograms/mL) totally blocked the effect of IGF-I but not somatostatin. A low concentration (0.12 nM) of somatostatin, which only partly inhibited growth hormone release, was also unaffected by cycloheximide. In purified rat somatotrophs, somatostatin (0.1 nM) inhibited GRF-stimulated cAMP levels slightly and reduced growth hormone release while IGF-I (40 nM) had no effect. We suggest that IGF-I inhibits only the secretion of newly synthesized growth hormone, while somatostatin inhibits both stored and newly synthesized growth hormone pools. 相似文献

In two radioimmunoassay systems with iodinated human growth hormone as tracer and anti-human growth hormone or anti-porcine growth hormone as binding site, the standard curves for human and for porcine growth hormone were parallel. In both systems the porcine growth hormone preparation had to be added in about the same excess as compared to the human hormone. It was concluded that the human and the porcine hormones behave in an identical way and that the values obtained in radioimmunoassay for human growth hormone represent the amount of immunologically active molecules in the porcine growth hormone preparation. As parallel standard curves were obtained with porcine serum, the concentration of growth hormone is porcine serum may be determined by radioimmunoassay for human growth hormone. 相似文献

The effect of bovine growth hormone on adenylate cyclase activity was studied in bovine and rat renal medulla. Highly purified growth hormone (lot B1003A) increased adenylate cyclase activity in plasma membranes from bovine renal medulla from 132+/-6 pmol cyclic AMP formed/mg protein per 10 min to 364+/-10 pmol cyclic AMP formed/mg protein per 10 min. Similar results were seen with homogenates of rat renal medulla. The minimum effective concentration of bovine growth hormone required to activate adenylate cyclase was 0.5 mug/ml and maximum activation was detected at 500 mug/ml. The amount of vasopressin determined by radioimmunoassay to contaminate the growth hormone caused an increase in adenylate cyclase activity comparable to that of the corresponding concentration of growth hormone that was tested. Dialysis of growth hormone and vasopressin resulted in parallel reductions in the effect of each hormone on adenylate cyclase activity. Similarly, both growth hormone and vasopressin produced increases in short circuit current in isolated toad bladders but these effects were not detectable after dialysis of the hormones. In contrast, the effect of growth hormone on the uptake of 35SO2-4 by cartilage from hypophysectomized rats was not decreased after dialysis. These results indicate that available preparations of growth hormone are contaminated by small but physiologically significant amounts of vasopressin and that the activation of adenylate cyclase activity in renal medulla in response to growth hormone can be explained by this contamination rather than by an effect of growth hormone per se. 相似文献

Using the classical approach, a decapeptide was synthesized with the structure of porcine luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone releasing hormone reported by Matsuo, H., Baba, Y., Nair, R. M. G., Arimura, A. and Schally, A. V. (1971) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 43, 1393–1399. As already reported, this peptide was capable of inducing in vitro the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone from rat pituitary glands. A specific antiserum against luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone releasing hormone has been generated in the guinea pig and this allowed the development of a radioimmunoassay for this peptide. The antisera, at a final dilution of

The following substances did not cross-react: oxytocin, lysine-vasopressin, synthetic thyroid stimulating hormone releasing hormone, ovine luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and prolactin. Des-Trp3 luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone releasing hormone, pyroglutamyl-histidyl-tryptophan and seryl-tyrosyl-glycyl-leucyl-arginyl-prolyl-glycinamide, exhibited flatter curves than luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone releasing hormone with a cross-reactivity of about

Using this method, luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone releasing hormone was assayed in extracts of the sheep stalk-median eminence and of the hypothalamus and in jugular vein blood from a normal ram and from normal male rats, from cyclic ewe and from hypophysectomized ram and rats. It was concluded that luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone releasing hormone is present in hypothalamic extracts and in plasma of sheep and rat. 相似文献

A profound and persistent depression of serum testosterone concentrations was found in 19 men with burns injuries. This could not be explained by changes in sex hormone binding globulin capacity, hyperprolactinaemia, classical primary testicular failure, or a hypogonadotrophic state. Pulsatile release of luteinising hormone was found in control subjects but was absent or diminished in burnt patients with low serum testosterone concentrations. In addition, these patients showed reduced biological activity of luteinising hormone as measured by bioassay even though normal concentrations of luteinising hormone were detected by radioimmunoassay. The temporary hypogonadism after burns injury and possibly in other clinical states may be related to hypothalamic dysfunction, which leads to abnormal generation of luteinising hormone releasing hormone and non-pulsatile secretion of luteinising hormone of reduced biological activity. 相似文献
