Systematic administration of the enkephalin analog FK 33-824 was previously shown to stimulate PRL secretion and to inhibit ACTH secretion in man. Naloxone prevented the effect on PRL release, but not on ACTH release. In this study, the direct action of this analog on hormone release by rat anterior pituitary lobes were investigated. 1 uM FK 33-824 inhibited basal ACTH secretion by anterior pituitary glands in vitro, while 0.1 uM and 1 uM attenuated the lysine vasopressin stimulated ACTH release. Naloxone did not reverse the inhibitory action of the analog on ACTH release. β-Endorphin (0.01 - 1 uM) did not directly affect ACTH release. Basal and dopamine-induced inhibition of PRL release by anterior pituitary glands was neither influenced by FK 33-824 (0.1 and 1 uM), nor by β-endorphin (0.1 and 1 uM) with or without bacitracin. This study shows that the long-acting met-enkephalin analog FK 33-824 differentially affects PRL and ACTH secretion by the pituitary gland. It seems to stimulate PRL release at a suprapituitary site and this action probably involves u opiate receptors, because naloxone prevents these stimulatory effects. The inhibitory effect of FK 33-824 on ACTH release, however, is mediated via a direct effect at the pituitary level, which does not involve u receptors, as naloxone did not prevent this effect. In this respect, its action differs from that of β-endorphin, which does not directly affect ACTH release by the anterior pituitary gland. 相似文献

Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) was tested for its ability to stimulate ACTH and β-endorphin secretion from clonal mouse pituitary tumor cells. Release of both hormones was stimulated 4 to 5-fold over the basal release at nanomolar concentrations of synthetic CRF. CRF analogues stimulated release with the same order of potency in the tumor cells as in primary cultures of anterior pituitary cells. A 90-min exposure to CRF elicited a 29–35% increase in total ACTH and β-endorphin immunoreactivity in tumor cell cultures. Dexamethasone markedly inhibited CRF-stimulated and basal ACTH and β-endorphin release. cells may serve as a good model system for studying the biochemistry of CRF receptor-mediated events involved in release and synthesis. 相似文献

Electrical stimulation of hypophysical posterior lobes evokes a significant decrease of plasma growth hormones (GH) and an increase of plasma corticotropin (ACTH) concentrations. Electrical stimulation of posterior lobes evokes the simultaneous release of GH inhibiting factor(s) (GHRIF) and ACTH releasing factor(s) (CRF) into the medium. Pretreatment of media with thioglycolate abolishes the CRF and GHRIF activity, but reveals GH releasing factor(s) (GHRF). Median eminence extracts and vasopressin have potent GHRF and CRF activity. Vasopressin may account fully for the CRF and partially for GHRF activity. Results suggest that hypothalamo-neurohypophysical axons release GHRIF, vasopressin and possibly a GHRF into a portal circulation to modulate the secretion of GH and ACTH. 相似文献

The control of cortisol secretion by ACTH and of aldosterone secretion by angiotensin is exerted upon separate cell populations in the adrenal cortex. Cells of the zona faciculata and the zona glomerulosa, while sharing common steroidogenic pathways, are affected differently by hormones and drugs. Fasciculata cells demonstrate increased cAMP formation and cortisol output primarily in response to ACTH. ACTH receptors, when occupied by hormone, transmit an activating signal to membrane-bound adenylate cyclase by a mechanism that may require the translocation of Ca2+. Although the precise way in which increased intracellular cAMP leads to increased steroidogenesis is unknown, protein phosphorylation and new protein synthesis are probably involved. Glomerulosa cells also respond to ACTH, but are uniquely responsive to physiological concentrations of angiotensin II and K+. The responsiveness of these cells to angiotensin may be governed by alterations in receptor number. Whether occupied angiotensin receptors activate steroidogenesis via cAMP is uncertain, but alterations in Ca2+ distribution within the cell may again be involved. Dopamine probably exerts a tonic inhibitory effect on glomerulosa cell function. Competitive inhibitory analogs for both ACTH and angiotensin II are available, but thus far all inhibitors have retained weak agonist properties. Because the regulatory processes for both cortisol and aldosterone are complex, a wide variety of drugs can affect rates of steroidogenesis . 相似文献

Paired adrenals from feral male trapped from fields adjacent to the Memphis (TN) International Airport and from suitable control areas were incubated in the presence or absence of ACTH. Incubation media were assayed fluorometrically for corticosterone. Control animals exhibited lower basal secretion rates of corticosterone when compared to their noise exposed counterparts. However, ACTH elicited a significantly greater increase in corticosterone secretion in controls as compared to the noise exposed group. The data suggest a noise related decline in adrenal cortical responsiveness to ACTH. 相似文献

A peptide found in acetic acid extracts of porcine hypothalami and capable of stimulating the release of ACTH in vitro was isolated in pure state, structurally identified as Phe-Leu-Gly-Phe-Pro-Thr-Thr-Lys-Thr-Tyr-Pre-Pro-His-Phe and synthesized. This tetradecapeptide, which corresponds to amino acid residues no. 33–46 in the sequence of the α-chain of porcine hemoglobin, probably represents an artefact of extraction or isolation procedures. Since this peptide stimulates ACTH release from rat pituitary fragments and from monolayer cultures of pituitary cells, but not , caution must be exercised in interpreting the results of assays for corticotropin releasing factor. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal injection of caerulein produced a pronounced increase in plasma corticosterone levels in intact rats. Since this effect was not observed in hypophysectomized rats, it is assumed that the peptide does not affect the adrenal gland directly. Intracerebroventricular injection of caerulein was also ineffective in stimulating corticosterone secretion, and experiments for ACTH release indicated that caerulein could not affect pituitary tissue itself. The fact that the effect of caerulein disappeared after subdiaphragmatical vagotomy suggests that the action site is at a peripheral level, but not in the central nervous system. 相似文献

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the influence of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-OP) on pituitary-adrenal hormone secretion. CCK-OP at a dose of 5 μg/kg (i.p.) elevated plasma corticosterone from 27 to 43 μg/100 ml in one experiment and from 12 to 50 μg/100 ml in a second experiment: Lower doses of CCK-OP (0.5 μg/kg) elevated corticosterone from 12 μg/100 ml to 20 μg/100 ml. CCK-OP (1, 10, and 100 ng/ml) had no effect on ACTH-induced corticosterone released by isolated adrenal cells in vitro when tested in the presence of 50 pg of ACTH1?24. 100 and 500 ng of CCK-OP resulted in an increased pituitary ACTH release equal to 123% (n.s.) and a 206% (P < 0.05) of control, respectively. In comparison, a hypothalamic stalk median eminence equivalent increased ACTH release to 313% of control (P < 0.05). The exact mechanism of this CCK effect on pituitary ACTH release is unknown. Although it is likely that the direct effects on the pituitary in vitro represent a pharmacologic and not a physiologic effect of this peptide, in vivo doses are between doses used for pancreatic effects and satiety effects suggesting that there may be a physiologic stimulating action of this peptide on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis but at a level above the adrenal and pituitary. 相似文献

The effects of angiotensin II and angiotensin III on mean arterial pressure, serum aldosterone, and serum corticosterone were studied in normal and sodium depleted, conscious rats. In normal rats, angiotensin III was 76% (p > 0.10) as potent as angiotensin II on aldosterone release but only 31% (p < 0.001) as potent on blood pressure. Following sodium depletion, the pressor responses to both angiotensin II and III were reduced (p < 0.001) (65% and 86% respectively). In addition, the release of aldosterone by both peptides was potentiated by sodium depletion as indicated by an increase in the slope of the dose-response curves. However, in the sodium depleted rats, angiotensin III was only 20% (p < 0.001) as potent as angiotensin II in stimulating aldosterone release. Small changes in serum corticosterone were noted following infusions of both peptides, but unlike the case with aldosterone, sodium depletion did not alter the serum corticosterone responses to the peptides. These experiments taken with studies support the interpretation that angiotensin III could function to control aldosterone release in altered sodium states either as a circulating hormone if present in concentrations far in excess of those of angiotensin II or as a local hormone formed in the adrenal from angiotensin II. 相似文献

Insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin release from perfused pancreases of normal and alloxan-diabetic rats were compared. Insulin and glucagon responses to arginine were decreased in the diabetic group whereas both basal and arginine-stimulated somatostatin release was increased. These results suggest that alterations in pancreatic D cell as well as in D cell may contribute to the abnormal insulin and glucagon secretion found in alloxan diabetes. 相似文献

Three-day old rats were injected subcutaneously either with natural purified pig ACTH (ACTH 1–39), ACTH 1–24, or ACTH analogues as long-acting zinc-phosphate preparations. ACTH 1–39, ACTH 1–24, ACTH 1–18, ACTH 1–16 accelerated the time of eye-opening, whereas an extract of corticosteroids produced by excised adrenals of ACTH-treated three-day old rats was ineffective. Injections with ACTH on the twelfth day of life had no effect on eye-opening. It is concluded that a neonatal injection with ACTH or closely related analogues with markedly less corticotropic activity can accelerate the time of eye-opening. This effect is not mediated by the adrenal cortex. The sensitive period for it appears to be shortly after birth. 相似文献

Release of [3H]phosphatidylcholine from pulmonary Type II epithelial cells was stimulated by terbutaline, forskolin and cytochalasin D. Compound inhibited both basal and agonist-stimulated release of [3H]PC. The IC50 for inhibition by compound was 1–2 μg/ml, and was similar for inhibition of both basal and stimulated release of [3H]phosphatidylcholine. Inhibitory effects of were noted following a 1 h exposure to compound and persisted up to 3 h. The inhibitory effect of compound was entirely reversed by removing compound from the external milieu. Compound had no effect on cytosolic cyclic AMP levels or lactate dehydrogenase release. Inhibition of surfactant release produced by compound was unaffected by changes in extracellular calcium concentrations. Compound is a non-toxic inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine release from Type II epithelial cells. 相似文献

The synthetic replicate of a 44 amino acid peptide isolated from a human pancreatic tumor which had caused acromegaly possesses high specific activity to release growth hormone (GH) in anesthetized male rats. The GH secretion induced by this peptide is dose-dependent from 50 ng to 1 μg, with plasma GH concentrations increasing more than 10-fold within 5 min of iv administration at the higher doses. Two enzymatic degradation products of the 44 residue peptide were also isolated and consist of the first 37 and 40 amino acids. All three peptides appear to possess similar potency, on a molar basis, , contrary to results. The specificity of these peptides on GH release was shown by their failure to alter plasma concentrations of prolactin (PRL), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and corticosterone. Based on these results, the three peptides with serve as powerful tools with which to investigate the mechanisms of GH secretion. 相似文献

The site at which opiate agonists and antagonists act to alter secretion of prolactin, growth hormone and luteinizing hormone as well as the pharmacological specificity of the opiate receptors mediating these effects were examined in rats. Injection of β-endorphin but not a 10 fold higher dose of the non opiate peptide β-endorphin, increased release of prolactin and growth hormone in male rats while inhibiting luteinizing hormone release in ovariectomized, estrogen primed female rats. Prior treatment with naltrexone i.p. blocked these responses. Injection of naltrexone into the hypothalamus lowered prolactin release. In rats with a surgically formed hypothalamic island systemic administration of morphine or naltrexone altered prolactin release in the same manner as was observed in intact animals. In contrast no effects of β-endorphin or naltrexone were observed on the spontaneous secretion of prolactin . In addition β-endorphin did not alter the inhibition of prolactin release produced by apomorphine . The ED50 for stimulation of prolactin release following intraventricular administration of β-endorphin or the synthetic enkephalin analog FK 33-824 was the same, approximately 0.1 ng/rat. However FK 33-824 at 0.2 ng/rat was able to produce much greater analgesia and catatonia than β-endorphin. The metabolism and distribution of β-endorphin was examined but did not account for these differential effects. These results indicate that opiate agonists and antagonists can act at the hypothalamic but not the anterior pituitary level to alter release of prolactin, growth hormone and luteinizing hormone. In addition the data suggest that the opiate receptors mediating release of prolactin may have a different pharmacological specificity from those involved with analgesia and catatonia. 相似文献

The effect of catecholamines on somatostatin release by median eminence (ME) fragments was evaluated using an incubation system. Adult male rats were used as tissue donors. Somatostatin release was readily detected during short-term incubations (10 and 30 minutes). Dopamine (DA) significantly stimulated somatostatin release during a 30 minute incubation period at the two doses tested (0.6 and 6 μM). Under similar conditions, norepinephrine (NE) stimulated somatostatin release only at the 6 μM dose. Using a shorter incubation period (10 min) and a 6 μM dose, only DA stimulated somatostatin release. The effects of DA and NE were specifically blocked by the addition of pimozide or phentolamine, respectively, suggesting that dopaminergic and noradrenergic receptors may be present in the somatostatinergic terminals of the ME. The results indicate that both DA and NE may be involved in the regulation of somatostatin secretion. 相似文献

Although mean ACTH concentration was significantly higher in cultured adenohypophyseal cells from female than from male rats, there was no significant sex difference in the ACTH secretory response of these cells to hypothalamic extract containing CRF. Hypothalamic CRF content in the “basal” state was slightly higher in female than male rats. 相似文献

The secretion of radioactive peptides by dispersed porcine parathyroid cells incubated with [3H]- or [14C]amino acids, [3H]glucosamine and [3H]mannose was analyzed. After incubation, the culture medium contained radioactive parathormone, as expected, and two radioactive glycopeptides: SP I and SP II. SP I appears to be identical with , heretofore not recognized as a glycoprotein. SP II has not been previously identified. SP I, but not SP II or parathormone, was adsorbed by Concanavalin A possibly reflecting a high mannose content of this molecule. Raising the concentration of calcium in the medium suppressed the secretion of radioactive parathormone and SP I in a similar fashion but did not affect the secretion of SP II. Our results suggest that SP I may play a fundamental role in parathyroid synthetic or secretory processes. 相似文献

Consistent with a recent literature report (Repine, J. E. (1981) , 1001–1003), the release of [3H]-thymine from PM-2 DNA by Fe(II)-H2O2-generated ·OH was suppressed by dimethyl sulfoxide. In contrast, DMSO did not affect [3H]-thymine release mediated by Fe(II)-bleomycin. Under aerobic conditions in the presence of -butyl phenylnitrone, Fe(II)-BLM produces an epr signal that has been presumed to arise by transfer of ·OH or from the “active complex” of bleomycin to the spin trap. Remarkably, high concentrations (80 mM) of PBN had no effect on the ability of Fe(II)-BLM to solubilize [3H]-thymine, although the ability of authentic ·OH to degrade DNA was completely suppressed under these condition. The suproxide dismutase catalyst tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphineiron(III) also failed to suppress BLM-mediated DNA degradation. Moreover, the epr signal observed with 1.6 mM Fe(II)-BLM in the presence of 80 mM PBN was found to be much less intense than that produced by 1.6 mM Fe(II) and 290 mM H2O2, but equivalent in intensity to that obtained with 45 mM Fe(II) and exoess H2O2. We conclude that the fragmentation of DNA produced by Fe(II)-BLM can be due neither to free ·OH nor to . We suggest that DNA degradation is initiated by an “active complex” consisting of BLM, metal and oxygen that functions by abstracting H· from susceptible sites on DNA. 相似文献

The effect of bombesin on gastrin release and gastric acid secretion was investigated in 10 healthy volunteers. Bombesin (0.6 μg · Kg?1 · hr?1) produced a significantly higher increase in plasma gastrin levels (86.7 11.1 pmo/1 than after a protein meal (39.6 ± 5.6 pmol1/1). The gastric acid secretory response to bombesin (12.1 ± 2.9 mEq · hr?1) was however significantly lower than the maximal response produced by pentagostrin (20.9 ± 3.5 mEq · hr?1) at the dose of 6 μg · Kg?1. Atropine did not modify gastrin release induced by bombesin but significantly reduced gastric acid secretion . From the data presented it may be hypothesized that less biologically active forms of gastrin and/or other peptides inhibiting the gastrin effect upon gastric acid secretion may be released by bombesin. 相似文献

Three analogs of somatostatin, [-Cys14] -, [Ala2, -Cys14] - and [-Trp8, -Cys14] - somatostatin, were synthesized by the solid phase method, characterized by several means, and tested for their effects on the release of insulin, glucagon, and growth hormone. The peptides sharply suppressed the release of growth hormone and glucagon , but had less effect on insulin secretion . These analogs, particularly [-Trp8, -Cys14] - somatostatin, could possibly be useful for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. 相似文献
