Evaluation of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonistic activity in vitro.
Antagonistic analogues of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) belong to a class of compounds that can be utilized for treatment of some hormone-dependent cancers and gynecologic disorders. Recently, we synthesized and tested a large number of LHRH analogues for LHRH antagonistic activity in the dispersed pituitary cell superfusion system. This fast, reliable, and dynamic system made it...
متن کاملLuteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonists.
BACKGROUND Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) plays a central role in the vertebrate reproduction by regulating gonadal activity. Based on its binding to pituitary LH-RH receptors, as well as to LH-RH receptors expressed on cancer cells, LH-RH agonists and antagonists have been developed for different therapeutic applications. OBJECTIVE/METHOD Here we give an overview of the most r...
متن کاملImmortalized luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone neurons show a different migratory activity in vitro.
The development of two cell lines (GT1 and GN) of immortalized LHRH neurons has allowed an accurate study of the mechanisms controlling the synthesis and the secretion of LHRH. These cell lines, obtained in mice by genetic targeted tumorigenesis, retain many of the phenotypic characteristics of LHRH neurons. Of interest, GT1 cells derive from an hypothalamic tumor, whereas GN cells were obtaine...
متن کاملA luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist decreases biological activity and modifies chromatographic behavior of luteinizing hormone in man.
The effect of the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist, [D-Trp6,Pro9-NEth]LHRH (LHRHA), on luteinizing hormone (LH) bioactivity was assessed with a rat interstitial cell assay in four men during a 14-d treatment period. Biologic/immunologic (B/I) ratios were unchanged initially with treatment but by day 12 had fallen to levels lower than basal values. Frequent sampling on day 12...
متن کاملHuman malignant melanomas express receptors for luteinizing hormone releasing hormone allowing targeted therapy with cytotoxic luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue.
Cytotoxic analogue of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), AN-207, binds with high affinity to LHRH receptors and can be targeted to tumors expressing these receptors. We investigated the expression of LHRH receptors in surgical specimens of human malignant melanoma and evaluated the effects of AN-207 in models of human melanoma. Human melanoma specimens derived from primary tumors or ...
