Effects of nonylphenol on aldosterone release from rat zona glomerulosa cells

Alkylphenol ethoxylate, which consists of approximately 80% nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), is a major nonionic surfactant. Nonylphenol (NP), the primary degradation product of NPE, has been reported to interfere with reproduction in fish, reptiles, and mammals by inducing cell death in the gonads and by affecting other reproductive parameters. However, the effects of NP on rat adrenal zona glomerulosa cells (ZG) and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we explored the effects of NP on aldosterone release. ZG cells were incubated with NP in the presence or absence of the secretagogues angiotensin II (ANG II), potassium, 8-Br-cAMP, 25-OH-cholesterol, corticosterone or cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). After performing radioimmunoassay (RIA) and Western blot analysis, we found that (1) NP stimulated aldosterone release in cells induced by ANG II, KCl, 8-Br-cAMP, 25-OH-cholesterol, corticosterone, and CPA; (2) NP triggered the release of higher amounts of pregnenolone in cells treated with vehicle and 25-OH-cholesterol+trilostane than in cells treated with other compounds; and (3) the stimulatory effect of NP seemed to be mediated through steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) and aldosterone synthase activity. These observations suggest that the effects of NP are mediated via increased free Ca(2+) in the cytoplasm.     

Effects of protease inhibitors on adenylate cyclase activation and aldosterone production in rat adrenal zona glomerulosa cells

It has been shown that serine proteases are involved in aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone production by the rat adrenal zona glomerulosa in response to a variety of stimulants. From evidence presented for various tissues, including the rat adrenal cortex, the observation that adenylate cyclase can be activated by proteolytic enzymes and inhibited by protease inhibitors has led to the suggestion that serine proteases may also be involved in the hormonal stimulation of adenylate cyclase. In studies designed to test this hypothesis using protease inhibitors, only high concentrations (greater than 10(-4) M) of TAME (p-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester) inhibited ACTH stimulated steroid and cAMP production in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. TPCK (tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethylketone) and TLCK (tosyl-L-lysine chloromethylketone) were found to have a similar effect at very high concentrations (10(-2) M) but had no effect at the serine protease inhibitory concentration of 5 X 10(-6) M. Other protease inhibitors tested had no effect on ACTH-stimulated cAMP but the inhibitory effect of high concentrations of protease inhibitors on ACTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase was duplicated by the polyanion dextran sulphate. The results suggest that the inhibitors act through non-specific membrane effects and that proteases are not involved in the activation of zona glomerulosa adenylate cyclase by ACTH. In view of these findings it is concluded that a more rigorous approach should be applied to the use of protease inhibitors in whole cell systems, and that the concept of hormonal activation of adenylate cyclase via proteolytic events, which is based on studies with such inhibitors, should be reconsidered.     

Somatomedin production in the neonatal rat.

The hormonal stimulus to rat fetal and neonatal somatic and skeletal growth has been investigated by a study of ciruclating somatomedin (SM), growth hormone (GH) and insulin levels in rats from 21 days in utero to 40 days of post natal life. Somatomedin activity could not be detected in the serum of fetal rats in which circulating GH and insulin levels were high. In early post natal life GH and insulin levels remained high but gradually declined reaching normal adult levels at 19 days and 40 days respectively. Somatomedin activity was measurable only at low levels until 11 days after birth and thereafter remained steady throughout the time period studied. These studies suggest that somatomedin alone is not responsible for the rapid growth of the rat in early neonatal life and it is suggested that insulin may also be active as a growth factor in this period.
