In this study, the morphological changes in the central sulcus between children with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) and those with idiopathic short stature (ISS) were analyzed. Thirty children with IGHD (peak growth hormone < 5 µg/L) and 30 children with ISS (peak growth hormone > 10.0 µg/L) were included. Morphological measurements of the central sulcus were obtained from T1‐weighted MRIs using BrainVISA, including the average sulcal width, maximum depth, average depth, top length, bottom length, and depth position‐based profiles (DPPs). The bilateral average width of the central sulci was significantly wider, while the left maximum depth and right average depth of the central sulcus were significantly smaller, in children with IGHD than in children with ISS. There were no significant differences in the right maximum depth, left average depth, or bilateral top length and bottom length of the central sulcus between groups. The DPPs of the middle part of both central sulci (corresponding to the hand motor activation area) and the inferior part of the right central sulcus (corresponding to the oral movement area) near the Sylvian fissure were significantly smaller in children with IGHD than in controls before false discovery rate (FDR) correction. However, all the above significant DPP sites disappeared after FDR correction. There were significant morphological changes in the three‐dimensional structure of the central sulcus in children with IGHD, which were the outcome of other more essential cortical or subcortical changes, resulting in their relatively slower development in motor, cognitive, and linguistic functional performance. 相似文献

Familial isolated growth hormone deficiency (GHD) type 1 is characterized by an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance with varying degrees of phenotypic severity. We report a proband, with isolated GHD (IGHD) with very early growth arrest and undetectable levels of GH. Homozygous complete deletion of the GH1 gene was identified by real-time/quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT/q-PCR) and confirmed by an independent molecular genetic method; the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) technique. Prenatal diagnosis was offered for the subsequent pregnancy in the mother of our proband. Identical heterozygous deletion of the GH1 gene was detected in both parents. The fetus had a similar homozygous deletion of the GH1 gene. We thus report a unique case with a confirmed mutation in GH1 gene in the proband followed by prenatal detection of the same mutation in the amniotic fluid which to our knowledge hitherto has not been documented from India. 相似文献

Intravenously administered synthetic hpGRF 1–40 at doses of 0.1, 0.33 and 1.0 μg/kg increased plasma GH in a dose-dependent fashion in 4 normal prepubertal children. hpGRF 1–40 at the dose of 1.0 μg/kg stimulated GH release, though to a lesser extent than in normals, in 7 children with isolated GH-deficiency (IGHD) but failed to do so in a patient with craniopharyngioma. In all normal children and 6/7 patients with IGHD, hpGRF 1–40 at all doses used induced a clear and sustained lowering of plasma prolactin levels; this effect was lacking in the patient with craniopharyngioma. hpGRF 1–40 had no effect on plasma FSH, LH, TSH or glucose levels nor did it influence pulse rate, blood pressure, or body temperature. These results indicate that hpGRF 1–40 is a potent stimulus to GH release in normal prepubertal children and holds promise for treatment of GH-deficient children. In addition, in both normal children and children with IGHD, hpGRF 1–40 is a potent suppressor of prolactin levels. 相似文献

The effect of zinc deficiency on the direct-growth effect of growth hormone (GH) on tibia growth in hypophysectomized rats
was studied. There were three dietary groups. Zinc deficient (ZD) group (0.9 mg/kg diet), control (C) group (66 mg/kg diet)
and zinc adequate pair fed (PF) group (66 mg zinc/kg diet). All rats in each group received local infusion of recombinant
human-growth hormone (hGH) (1 Μg/d), except for half of the animals in the control group, which were sham-treated, receiving
vehicle infusion only. The substances were infused continuously for 13 d by osmotic minipumps through a catheter implanted
into the right femoral artery. Food intake was lower and body weight loss was greater in ZD, and PF animals compared with
C animals (p < 0.001). Tissuezinc concentration and plasma alkaline-phosphatase activity were decreased (p < 0.05) by dietary-zinc deficiency. GH infusion increased the tibial-epiphyseal width of the treated right limb, but not
of the noninfused left limb in C and PF animals. However, in ZD rats, no difference was found between the infused and the
noninfused limbs. These results demonstrate that zinc deficiency inhibits the direct-growth effect of GH on long-bone growth. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Autosomal-dominant isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) is a rare disorder that is commonly believed to be due to heterozygous mutations in the GH-1 gene (GH-1). These mutations cause the production of a protein that affects the release of the product of the normal allele. Rarely, heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding for HESX-1 gene (HESX-1) may cause autosomal-dominant IGHD, with penetrance that has been shown to be variable in both humans and mice. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We have sequenced the whole GH-1 in the index cases of 30 families with autosomal-dominant IGHD. In all the families other possible causes of GH deficiency and other pituitary hormones deficits were excluded. We here describe the clinical, biochemical and radiological picture of the families without GH-1 mutations. In these families, we also sequenced the HESX-1. RESULTS: The index cases of the five families with autosomal-dominant IGHD had normal GH-1, including the intronic sequences. They had no HESX-1 mutations. CONCLUSION: This study shows that GH-1 mutations are absent in 5/30 (16.6%) of the families with autosomal-dominant IGHD and raises the possibility that mutations in other gene(s) may be involved in IGHD with this mode of transmission. 相似文献

Heterozygous de novo mutations in SOX2 have been reported in approximately 10–20% of patients with unilateral or bilateral anophthalmia or microphthalmia. An additional phenotype of hypopituitarism, with anterior pituitary hypoplasia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, has been reported in patients carrying SOX2 alterations. We report a novel heterozygous mutation in the SOX2 gene in a male affected with congenital bilateral anophthalmia, hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and growth hormone deficiency. The mutation we describe is a cytosine deletion in position 905 (c905delC) which causes frameshift and an aberrant C-terminal domain. Our report highlights the fact that subjects affected with eye anomalies and harboring SOX2 mutations are at high risk for gonadotropin deficiency, which has important implications for their clinical management. 相似文献

Cat eye syndrome is a rare congenital disease characterized by the existence of a supernumerary chromosome derived from chromosome 22, with a variable phenotype comprising anal atresia, coloboma of the iris and preauricular tags or pits. We report a girl with cat eye syndrome, presenting short stature, with growth hormone deficiency due to posterior pituitary ectopia. Short stature is a common feature of this syndrome, and the association with a structural pituitary anomaly has been described, however growth hormone deficiency and the underlying mechanisms are rarely reported. A review on short stature and growth hormone deficiency in cat eye syndrome is conducted. 相似文献

An aminopeptidase was isolated from a soil fungus, which specifically cleaves the unnatural N-terminal methionine in recombinant
human growth hormone. Reaction mixtures with different ratios of aminopeptidase to recombinant methionyl human growth hormone
showed that the removal of N-terminal methionine was complete at 1:200 (w/w), and more than 90% complete at ratios up to 1:2000
(w/w) when incubated for 24 h at 37°C. The data indicate that the aminopeptidase we have purified can be used for the efficient
conversion of unnatural recombinant proteins to their natural form.

Summary. Sperm DNA isolated from sons of three extensively used US Holstein bulls was screened for differences associated with the primary gene structure of the bovine growth hormone (bGH) and prolactin (bPrl) genes. Southern blot analysis of DNA digested with 10 restriction enzymes revealed that offspring from two of the three bull families exhibited polymorphisms around the bGH and bPrl genes. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) around the bGH gene were detected with five enzymes, whereas three enzymes revealed RFLPs around the bPrl gene. At least three structural differences were predicted around the bGH gene. The most common variant hybridization pattern appeared to involve an insertion/deletion located downstream of the conserved 3' Eco RI site. The presence of RFLPs in the genes coding for these pituitary hormones within a familial line may provide the basis for genetic markers associated with lactation and mammary development. 相似文献

Several noncovalent complexes of large fragments of human GH, which are less active than native human GH in stimulating glucose metabolism in adipose tissue of hypophysectomized rats, were tested for their ability to compete with 125I-iodinated human GH for specific binding to isolated adipocytes of hypophysectomized rats. The complexes tested were A (residues 1–134 + residues 141–191; S-carbamidomethylated), B (residues 1–134 + residues 135–191; S-carbamidomethylated) and C (residues 1–134 + residues 135–191; S-carboxymethylated). When compared to native human GH, the complexes were less active in competing with 125I-iodinated human GH for specific binding to adipocytes, and their order of potency in the binding assay (A > B > C) was similar to that of their respective activities in stimulating glucose metabolism in isolated adipose tissue of hypophysectomized rats. 相似文献

The contribution of chromosomal regions linked to growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) loci to variation in preweaning average daily gain, postweaning average daily gain (ADG), 10th rib backfat, loin-eye area and muscle pH were evaluated. Offspring of four purebred sires (A–D; n = 150, 195, 148 and 136, respectively) and two crossbred sires (E and F; n = 157 and 145, respectively) were genotyped initially with GH and IGF-1 markers. When results of single marker analysis suggested possible linkage with a quantitative trait locus (QTL), additional flanking markers were typed for the family and interval mapping was performed. Growth hormone genotype was not associated with the traits evaluated in the study. Evidence suggestive of linkage was found for IGF-1 genotype and ADG in one sire family (lod = 2·3) where differences were 0.032 ± 0·01 kg/day for alternative sire alleles. Evidence for a putative ADG QTL was greatest in the interval between IGF-1 and Sw1071. A similar genomic region has been associated with growth variation in mice; however, QTL mapping precision in the current study is insufficient to establish similarity. 相似文献

So far, standard follicle culture systems can produce blastocyst from less than 40% of the in vitro matured oocytes compared to over 70% in the in vivo counterpart. Because the capacity for embryonic development is strictly associated with the terminal stage of oocyte growth, the nuclear maturity status of the in vitro grown oocyte was the subject of this study. Mouse early preantral follicles (100-130 microm) and early antral follicles (170-200 microm) isolated enzymatically were cultured for 12 and 4 days, respectively, in a collagen-free dish. The serum-based media were supplemented with either 100 mIU/ml FSH (FSH only); 100 mIU/ml FSH + 10 mIU/ml LH (FSH-LH); 100 mIU/ml FSH + 1 mIU/ml GH (FSH-GH) or 100 mIU/ml FSH + 100 ng/ml activin A (FSH-AA). Follicle survival was highest in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-AA group in both cultured preantral (91.8%) and antral follicles (82.7%). Survival rates in the other groups ranged between 48% (FSH only, preantral follicle culture) and 78.7% (FSH only, antral follicle culture). Estradiol and progesterone were undetectable in medium lacking gonadotrophins while AA supplementation in synergy with FSH caused increased estradiol secretion and a simultaneously lowered progesterone secretion. Chromatin configuration of oocytes from surviving follicles at the end of culture revealed that there were twice more developmentally incompetent non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN) oocytes (>65%) than the competent surrounded nucleolus (SN) oocytes (<34%). We conclude that the present standard follicle culture system does not produce optimum proportion of developmentally competent oocytes. 相似文献

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate the conformational changes associated with the binding of human growth hormone (hGH) to the extracellular domains (ECD) of the human growth hormone receptor (hGHR), thereby shedding light on the mechanism of activation. It is shown that the removal of hGH from the hormone‐bound receptor complex results in a counter‐clockwise rotation of the twosubunits relative to each other by 30°–64° (average 45° ± 14°), in close agreement in terms of both the magnitude and direction of the rotation with that proposed based on mutagenesis experiments. In addition to providing evidence to support a rotational activation mechanism, the simulations have enabled the nature of the interaction interfaces in both the cytokine‐bound and unliganded hGHR states to be analyzed in detail.

Although much work has been reported on modification of human somatotropin with plasmin and has revealed important information about structure-function relationships, plasmin modification of nonprimate somatotropins (which differ markedly in structure and biological actions from the human hormone) has been little studied. Therefore we investigated plasmin digestion of bovine somatotropin. Digestion was less rapid but more extensive than that of human somatotropin. Structural characterization of digestion products resolved by gel filtration suggested that a major product after 24 h was a disulfide-linked fragment comprising residues 1–133 plus 140–177. Further cleavage products were found in aggregated material and minor fractions. In radioimmunoassay for bovine somatotropin, activity was retained only by the unfractionated digest and aggregated material. In radioreceptor assay for somatotropin using receptors from livers of late-pregnant rabbit all preparations retained some activity. The results suggest that receptor- and antibody-binding sites in bovine somatotropin are not identical and that greater activity may result from specific association of fragments that are less active or inactive once separated. 相似文献

Human GH isoforms were separated by anion-exchange chromatography using a linear NaCl gradient in the presence and absence of EDTA and EGTA. SDS–PAGE showed that glycosylated 24-kDa hGH did not appreciably separate from other hGH variants in the absence of metal chelators. However, in the presence of metal chelators, glycosylated 24-kDa hGH separated from the bulk of the hGH isoforms. Human GH isoforms were also separated by size-exclusion chromatography in the presence and absence of metal chelators. Glycosylated 24-kDa hGH eluted with the bulk of the hGH isoforms in both separations. The inclusion of metal chelators in chromatographic buffers to alter the charge and/or size of proteins by stripping their metals may be a generally useful strategy in their fractionation. 相似文献
