In vivo andin vitro techniques were used to examine the influence of various vertebrate peptides on growth hormone (GH) secretion in the goldfish. Tetradecapeptide somatostatin (SRIF-14) was found to inhibit GH secretionin vitro from perifused pituitary fragments, whereas similar concentrations of a salmonid SRIF peptide (sSRIF-25) did not affect GH secretion from the goldfish pituitary fragments. This indicates that SRIF receptors on the goldfish pituitary are very specific for SRIF-14-like peptides. Salmon gonadotropin (GTH)-releasing hormone (sGnRH) was found to elevate serum GH levels in male goldfish. The dopamine antagonist pimozide alone or injected in combination with sGnRH did not influence serum GH levels, although injection of pimozide alone significantly elevated serum GTH levels, in addition to potentiating the effects of sGnRH on GTH secretion. sGnRH stimulated GH secretion from goldfish pituitary fragmentsin vitro, indicating that sGnRH acts directly at the level of the pituitary to stimulate GH secretion in the goldfish. These results suggest that GnRH may also function as a GH-releasing factor in the goldfish, although the release-inhibitory factors for GH and GTH secretion do appear to be separate and distinct. Two human GH-releasing hormone (hGHRH) peptides were found to be ineffective in altering GH secretionin vitro from the perifused pituitary fragments. Consequently, a role for a mammalian GHRH-like peptide in the hypothalamic regulation of GH secretion in the goldfish remains questionable.  相似文献

In this study, the direct actions of serotonin (5HT) on gonadotropin (GTH)-II and growth hormone (GH) release in the goldfish were tested at the pituitary cell level. 5HT (10 nM - 10 µM) stimulated GTH-II but inhibited GH release from perifused goldfish pituitary cells in a dose-dependent manner. The minimal effective dose of 5HT tested to suppress basal GH secretion (10 nM) was 10-fold lower than that to stimulate GTH-II release (100 nM). The GTH-II releasing effect of 5HT was abolished by repeated 5HT treatment (10 µM) whereas the corresponding inhibition on GH release was unaffected. These results suggest that 5HT receptors on goldfish gonadotrophs and somatotrophs exhibit intrinsic differences in terms of sensitivity to stimulation and resistance to desensitization. Salmon GTH-releasing hormone (sGnRH, 100 nM) stimulated GTH-II and GH release from goldfish pituitary cells. The GTH-II releasing action of sGnRH was unaffected by simultaneous treatment of 5HT (1 µM). However, the corresponding GH response to sGnRH (100 nM) was inhibited. In the goldfish, dopamine is known to stimulate GH release through activation of pituitary D1 receptors. In the present study, the GH-releasing action of dopamine (1 µM) and the D1 agonist SKF38393 (1 µM) was significantly reduced by 5HT (1 µM). To examine the receptor specificity of 5HT action, the effects of 5HT1 and 5HT2 analogs on GTH-II and GH release were tested in goldfish pituitary cells. The 5HT1 agonist 8OH DPAT (0.1 and 1µM) and 5HT2 agonist methyl 5HT (0.1 1µM) mimicked the GTH-II releasing effect of 5HT. The 5HT1 agonist 8OH DPAT (0.1 and 1µM) also stimulated GH release but the 5HT2 agonist methyl 5HT (0.1 and 1µM) was inhibitory to basal GH secretion. In addition, 5HT (1µM) -stimulated GTH-II release was abolished by the 5HT1 antagonist methiothepin (10µM) and 5HT2 antagonist mianserin (10µM). Similarly, the inhibitory action of 5HT (1µM) on basal GH release was blocked by the 5HT2 antagonist mianserin (10µM). The 5HT1 antagonist methiothepin (10µM) was not effective in this regard. These results, taken together, indicate that 5HT exerts its regulatory actions on GTH-II and GH release in the goldfish directly at the pituitary cell level, probably through interactions with other regulators including sGnRH and dopamine. The GTH-II releasing action of 5HT is mediated through 5HT2 and possibly 5HT1 receptors. The inhibition of 5HT on basal GH release is mediated through 5HT2 receptors only. Apparently, 5HT1 receptors are not involved in this inhibitory action. In this study, a paradoxical stimulatory component of 5HT on GH release by activating 5HT1 receptors is also implicated.  相似文献

Profiles of plasma growth hormone (GH) in male tilapia hybrid (Oreochromis niloticus x O. aureus) were measured and compared at different times of the year. The profiles did not appear to be repetitive, however, differences in their nature were observed at the different seasons; the most erratic profiles were seen in the height of the reproductive season (July), while the peaks were more subdued in the spring and disappeared in the autumn. Peaks in male fish were more prominent than in the females when measured in July. Perifused pituitary fragments from fish with a high GSI responded to salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone (sGnRH) analog (10 nM-1 M), while those from fish with a low GSI barely responded to even the highest dose. Exposure of perifused pituitary fragments from sexually-regressed fish to carp growth hormone-releasing hormone (cGHRH; 0.1 M) or sGnRH (I M) stimulated GH release only after injection of the fish with methyl testosterone (MT; 3 injections of 0.4 mg kg 1). The same MT pretreatment did not alter the response to dopamine (DA; 1 or 10 M). GH pituitary content in MT-treated fish was lower than in control fish, which may be explained by the higher circulating GH levels in these fish, but does not account for the increased response to the releasing hormones. Castration abolished the response of cultured pituitary cells to sGnRH (I fM-100 nM) without altering either their basal rate of secretion or circulating GH levels. Addition of steroids to the culture medium (MT or estradiol at 10 nM for 2 days) enabled a GH response to sGnRH stimulation in cells from sexually regressed fish. Pituitary cells which had not been exposed to steroids failed to respond to sGnRH, although their response to forskolin or TPA was similar to that of steroid-exposed cells. It would appear, therefore, that at least one of the effects of the sex steroids on the response to GnRH is exerted proximally to the formation of cAMP, or PKC, presumably at the level of the receptor. An increase in the number of receptors to the GH-releasing hormones, following steroid exposure, would explain also the changing nature of the GH secretory profile in different stages of the reproductive season.  相似文献

Studies in mammals have shown that synthetic Met-enkephalin derivatives, called growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs), stimulate growth hormone (GH) release. In the present study, GHRP-6 action on GH secretion was examined in vivo and in vitro in sexually immature grass carp. GHRP-6 injected intraperitoneally had no influences on serum GH levels in juvenile grass carp. Following intraperitonal injection of GHRP-6 and dopamine (DA) or cysteamine hydrochloride (CSH), alone and in combination into juvenile grass carp, DA and CSH were effective in elevating serum GH levels, but GHRP-6 was not effective in this respect; in addition, the synergistic action of GHRP-6 and DA or CSH on GH secretion was not seen. In this work, we had adapted and validated a perifusion system and a culture system for GH regulation studies. In a perifusion system, GHRP-6 (1000 to 0.1 nM), GHRP-6 (0.1 to 1000 nM), GHRP-6 (1 μM), and Hexarelin (an analog of GHRP, 1 μM) had no action on GH release from juvenile grass carp pituitary fragments or cells. Under static incubation conditions, GHRP-6 was inactive on GH release from juvenile grass carp pituitary fragments after 1 h and 6 h incubation, but human growth hormone-releasing hormone (hGHRH; 1 to 100 nM) as positive control could stimulate GH release in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, when GHRP-6 (100 nM) in combination static incubation with neuropeptides [e.g., hGHRH (100 nM), salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (sGnRH-A) (100 nM), or D-Ala6,Pro9-NEt-luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (D-Ala6,Pro9-NEt-LHRH, LHRH-A) (100nM)], GHRP-6 did not strengthen GH secretion actions of neuropeptides, and at the same time neuropeptides also did not modify the effects of GHRP-6 on GH secretion. The present results obtained using in vivo and in vitro techniques adapted for GH regulation studies show that GHRP-6 does not function as a GH-releasing factor in juvenile grass carp as it does in tilapia, amphibians, chickens, and mammals.  相似文献

The glutamate agonist, N-methyl-D,L-aspartate (NMA) stimulates the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from pituitary fragments in vitro and increases plasma GH levels in vivo in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Flett et al. 1994; Holloway and Leatherland 1997a,b); however gonadal steroid hormones appear to modulate this response in experimental situations. This study examines whether steroid hormones also modulate the GH-regulatory actions of NMA during the normal reproductive cycle of rainbow trout by examining the relationship between the stage of sexual maturation and the pituitary release of GH in vitro in response to an NMA (10-8 M) challenge. NMA had no effect on mean GH release from the pituitary glands of fish that were immature (GSI <1.0), from males during early development (GSI 1.0-3.0), or from sexually mature males (with free running milt) and females (ovulated). However, NMA significantly increased GH release from pituitary glands taken from females during the early stages of gonadal growth (GSI 1.0-9.0) and from males and females sampled during the later stages of gonadal growth (males GSI 3.01-6.0; females GSI 9.01-15.0). The GH-stimulatory action of NMA in males and females progressed to a maximum effect during the late stages of gonadal growth, and disappeared in ovulated females and free running males. Moreover, in female fish, the maximal GH release in response to the NMA challenge is positively correlated with plasma 17β-estradiol levels; no such correlation was evident for plasma testosterone levels in males. Changes in the GH response to NMA during maturation while gonadal steroid levels fluctuate provides further evidence to suggest that the effects of NMA on GH secretion are intimately linked to endogenous gonadal steroid hormone levels. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The mechanisms of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) action on goldfish growth hormone (GH) release were investigated by examining GH release responses from dispersed goldfish pituitary cells to a synthetic mammalian (m)PACAP38 peptide. It was established that GH release stimulated by 2-h exposure to mPACAP38 was concentration-dependent, attenuated by the PACAP receptor antagonist mPACAP6–38, and subject to neuroendocrine modulation by somatostatin. Maximal mPACAP38-stimulated GH release was not additive to the responses elicited by either the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin or the cyclic (c)AMP analog 8-bromo-cAMP. The GH responses to mPACAP38, forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP, either alone or in combination, were abolished by H89, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor. SQ22536, an adenylate cyclase inhibitor, attenuated forskolin- and mPACAP38-stimulated GH release. In contrast, mPACAP38-stimulated GH release were additive to the responses to two protein kinase C (PKC) activators and unaffected by two PKC inhibitors. These results suggest that the stimulatory action of PACAP on GH secretion is mediated through a cAMP- / PKA-dependent mechanism, whereas the involvement of PKC appears unlikely. The ability of mPACAP38 to further enhance maximal GnRH (PKC)-dependent GH release, but not dopamine D1 agonist (PKA)-dependent GH secretion, is consistent with this hypothesis. A possible involvement of Ca2+ in PACAP action is also suggested. Two inhibitors of voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel reduced the GH responses to mPACAP38 in static incubation; conversely, mPACAP38 increased intracellular [Ca2+] in identified, single goldfish somatotropes.  相似文献

A bioassay for insulin-like growth factor (IGF), based on the in vitro incorporation of [35S]-sulfate into gill arch tissue was used to study the hormonal regulation of proteoglycan synthesis in the goldfish (Carassius auratus). [35S]-sulfate incorporation into gill arch tissue was found to be time-dependent with maximal uptake occurring by 48h, suggesting that proteoglycan synthesis in this tissue was maintained for at least 48h in vitro. The addition of human recombinant IGF-I (IGF-I) to the incubation medium was found to significantly stimulate [35S]-sulfate uptake into the gill arches, whereas bovine growth hormone (GH) was without effect. Porcine insulin was also stimulatory, but results indicate that the effects of porcine insulin and IGF-I may be mediated by a single receptor system. Finally, arches from hypophysectomized fish were significantly less responsive to IGF-I than were arches from sham-operated fish. Furthermore, administration of ovine GH in vivo appeared to increase subsequent responsiveness in vitro. Together, these results provide evidence that the growth-promoting actions of GH in the goldfish may be mediated, at least in part, by a peptide related in structure to mammalian IGF-I.  相似文献

Ghrelin was recently demonstrated as an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), which could promote the release of GH in mammal significantly. The present study conducted to determine whether ghrelin stimulate the release and synthesis of GH in orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). Rat ghrelin was incubated with the pituitary fragments of grouper in static culture system. The culture medium was collected at 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h after incubation to detect the contents of GH by homologous radioimmunoassay. The level of GH mRNA in the pituitary fragments was measured by a sensitive chemiluminescent ribonuclease protection assay. The results showed that rat ghrelin not only stimulated the release of GH but also augmented the GH mRNA level in grouper. It suggested that the ghrelin-like peptide and the GHS-R involved in the regulation of GH synthesis and release in grouper. The present study would provide a better understanding of the regulatory mechanism of GH release in marine fish.  相似文献

In African catfish the dopamine agonist apomorphine (APO) stimulates in vivo growth hormone (GH) release. The present study demonstrates that the potency of APO to stimulate plasma GH levels is affected by the nutritional status of the fish. The effect of starvation on APO induced GH release was investigated in sexually mature and immature catfish. Administration of APO clearly stimulated plasma GH levels in mature catfish that had been starved for 3 and 5 weeks, while no effect could be observed prior to starvation. This increased responsiveness to the GH stimulating action of APO was also demonstrated in fasted immature fish, though it was only evident in fish starved for a prolonged period (19 days or more). The importance of the duration of the starvation period suggests that the enhanced responsiveness is the result of physiological adaptations to starvation rather than an acute effect of food deprivation.  相似文献

大鳍鳠脑垂体和血清生长激素水平的季节变化   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
根据大鳍脑垂体匀浆和血清样品的稀释曲线与鲤生长激素(cGH)标准曲线的平行性,采用鲤生长激素的标准品和抗血清(RAG)测定了周年中几个不同时期大鳍脑垂体和血清样品的生长激素(GH)含量,发现脑垂体和血清中的GH含量均表现出明显的季节变化。脑垂体的GH含量分别在3月份和8月份出现两个峰。4~7月的繁殖期和11~1月的越冬期间,脑垂体的GH含量很低,而且波动不大。受水温和光周期的影响,大鳍血清GH水平表现为从冬季(11~1月)到春季(2~4月)逐渐上升,夏季急剧升高,到夏末(7月底)达到最高,一直持续到秋季。大鳍血清GH含量的变化与生殖周期密切相关,最低的GH含量出现在性腺静止期,其次为性腺发育期,再次为性腺成熟期,在产卵期急剧升高,最高为性腺退化期。  相似文献

为了探讨在古老的软骨硬鳞鱼中促性腺激素(GtH)的双重内分泌调节作用,本实验设计用离体灌流的方法研究促黄体素释放激素类似物(LHRH-A)和多巴胺(DA)对施氏鲟脑垂体碎片分泌GtH的影响。引入10、100和1 000 nmol/L 3个浓度的LHRH-A对施氏鲟脑垂体碎片3次脉冲式刺激实验;每次间隔1 h,持续5 min,研究不同剂量LHRH-A对鲟鱼脑垂体释放GtH的作用;用200 nmol/L DA对施氏鲟脑垂体碎片持续2 h灌流后引入5 min的1 000nmol/L LHRH-A刺激实验,研究DA如何抑制鲟鱼脑垂体释放GtH。每5 min收集一管灌流液,用放射免疫测定法(RIA)检测灌流液中GtH的含量。结果显示,低剂量LHRH-A随着刺激引入脑垂体释放GtH出现波浪式的增加,中、高剂量出现释放延后现象。LHRH-A在10nmol/L到1 000 nmol/L范围内对刺激脑垂体释放GtH没有剂量依存关系。DA对施氏鲟脑垂体碎片GtH的分泌没有显著影响,但是可以抑制LHRH-A引起的GtH分泌,即DA不能抑制施氏鲟GtH的基础分泌,而只能抑制LHRH-A诱导的GtH分泌。研究结果证明,在高等硬骨鱼类中存在的双重神经内分泌调节在古老的鲟鱼中也存在。  相似文献

Many fish species display compensatory growth (CG), a phenomenon by which fasted fish grow faster during refeeding. However, most studies use a group‐housed fish approach that could be problematic in social fish when interaction between individuals is not considered or eliminated. Additionally, the growth hormone (GH)/insulin‐like growth factors’ (IGF‐1 and IGF‐2) axis is implicated in postnatal growth in vertebrates, but its relevance in CG is not fully understood. Thus, the aim of this work was to determine whether CG occurs in a social fish, Cichlasoma dimerus, using an individually held fish approach and secondly, to evaluate the GH/IGFs expression profile during refeeding by 3 days and 3 weeks. C. dimerus showed partial CG. The feed conversion efficiency (FCE) was higher in three‐day‐refed fish, which presented higher GH plasma and mRNA levels than controls but shown no differences in liver and muscle GH receptors (GHR1 and GHR2) and IGFs mRNA levels. Surprisingly, three‐week‐refed fish exhibited GHR1 and IGF‐2 increments, but a reduction in GHR2 expression in muscle. These results show a strong association between GH levels, growth rate and FCE during refeeding, and a long‐lasting effect of refeeding on muscular expression of GHRs and IGF‐2.  相似文献

Since somatostatin (SRIF) inhibits the release of growth hormone (GH), its immunoneutralization may provide an alternative to GH therapy as a means of enhancing somatic growth in fish. The present study examined the feasibility of accelerating growth in juvenile chinook salmon by means of antiSRIF administration. Yearling salmon of Nicola River stock (BC, Canada) were injected intraperitoneally every 5 days, for a total of 40 days, with either SRIF (1 μg g-1 body wt.), antiSRIF (SOMA-10, 1 μg g−1), recombinant bovine GH (rbGH, 2.5 μg g−1), recombinant porcine GH (rpGH, 2.5 μg g−1) or saline (controls). No significant differences were observed in length, weight or final condition factor (k) between the SRIF-treated and control fish over the experimental period. However, the fish treated with the antiSRIF were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) longer and heavier than the control salmon after 25 and 30 days respectively. Furthermore, antiSRIF treatment caused a lowering in k when compared to the control salmon. Fish injected with rbGH or rpGH were significantly longer and heavier than all other groups (p ≤ 0.05), after only 5 days. GH treated groups also returned higher k when compared against all other treatments (p ≤ 0.05). No differences were observed in growth between the two rGH treatments over the experimental period.  相似文献

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether dietary ration or diet composition influence the relationship between plasma growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.). The pattern of changes in plasma GH and IGF‐1 concentrations was examined in fish fed at different ration levels (0%, 0.35% and 0.70% BW day−1) for 5 weeks, and in fish fed diets containing different lipid:crude protein (LCP) ratios. Ration level significantly affected plasma GH and IGF‐1 concentrations; at 5 weeks the levels of both hormones in the food‐deprived group were significantly lower than in fish fed the 0.70% BW day−1 ration. Also, plasma IGF‐1 levels in fish of each ration treatment group were significantly correlated with individual final body weight; no such correlation was found for GH. To examine the effects of dietary LCP ratios, fish were fed for up to 18 weeks, with one of four formulated diets that had LCP ratios (dry matter basis) of 0.35 (Diet 1), 0.43 (Diet 2), 0.51 (Diet 3) or 0.59 (Diet 4), or a commercial diet (Diet 5) which had an LCP ratio of 0.38. Statistical differences in plasma GH and IGF‐1 concentrations were found only after 18 weeks. Growth hormone was significantly lower in fish fed Diets 1 and 2 compared with Diets 3 and 5, and IGF‐1 was significantly lower in fish fed Diet 1 compared with Diets 2 and 5. Significant correlations between plasma GH and IGF‐1 concentrations were found only for fish fed Diets 1 and 5, suggesting that the influence of diet composition on the relationship between GH and IGF‐1 varies with the dietary LCP ratio in this species. The decline in plasma IGF‐1 concentrations during food deprivation is similar to that described in other species; however, the unexpected decrease in plasma GH during food deprivation in this study may represent a species‐specific response.  相似文献

A recombinant carp growth hormone (rcGH) was used to develop for a GH radioreceptor binding assay in the goldfish (Carassius auratus). Specific binding of125I-rcGH to goldfish liver membranes was a pH, time, temperature, and membrane protein dependent process. Scatchard and LIGAND analysis indicated a single class of high affinity and low capacity binding site, with an association constant (Ka) of 1.9×1010 M–1 and a maximum binding capacity (Bmax) of 9 fmol mg–1 protein. Liver tissue displayed the highest125I-rcGH binding of all the tissues examined. Displacement of125I-rcGH with various unlabeled teleost and mammalian GHs and prolactins revealed that the goldfish hepatic binding site was highly specific for teleost GH. Intraperitoneal administration of 0.1, 1.0, and 10 g rcGH g–1 body weight to hypophysectomized goldfish resulted in a 27, 52, and 68% decrease in total binding sites, respectively. Injection of a high dose of rat prolactin (rPRL) (5 g rPRL g–1 body weight) also resulted in a 32% decrease in total binding sites. These results suggest that endogenous GH may have a role in the regulation of its own receptors in the goldfish.  相似文献

瓦氏黄颡鱼生长激素基因克隆及其组织特异性表达分析   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
生长激素(growth hormone,GH)对脊椎动物的生长发育及代谢具有重要作用。采用RT-PCR和RACE技术,克隆了瓦氏黄颡鱼垂体GH cDNA全长序列,应用real-time qPCR法对不同组织中GH mRNA的表达进行检测。序列分析表明,GH cDNA(GenBank登录号:GU395549)序列全长1 203 bp,其5’端非编码区77 bp、3’端非编码区523 bp,开放阅读框(open reading frame,ORF)603 bp,由此推导GH前体蛋白由200个氨基酸组成。同源性比较结果表明,瓦氏黄颡鱼与同目鱼类的GH编码序列同源性较高,与哺乳类和鸟类的同源性较低。Real-time qPCR结果显示,GH mRNA在垂体中的表达量最高,其次是脑、肌肉、肝脏、脂肪组织、胃、脾脏、卵巢或精巢,而在肾脏、心脏、鳃和肠中没有明显的表达。实验结果表明,GH基因在瓦氏黄颡鱼组织中广泛表达,提示GH可能以旁分泌或自分泌的方式对其生长和繁殖发挥重要作用。  相似文献
