Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor-coupled gene network organization.
An early gene cDNA microarray was developed to study genes that are regulated immediately following gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor activation. 956 selected candidate genes were printed in triplicate, a t statistic-based regulation algorithm was used for data analysis, and the response to GnRH in a time course from 1 to 6 h was determined. Measurements were highly reproducible wi...
متن کاملGonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor-targeted gene therapy of gynecologic cancers.
The majority of ovarian, endometrial, and breast cancers express gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors. Apart from reproductive organs (ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus) that are normally removed during surgical therapy of ovarian or endometrial cancer, pituitary gonadotrophs also express GnRH receptors. The signal transduction pathway in tumor cells is basically different from th...
متن کاملMolecular structure of the human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor gene.
GnRH receptors belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptor proteins and have been localized to the anterior pituitary, brain and reproductive organs as well as many steroid-dependent tumor tissues. Recently, cDNAs for the GnRH receptors of several species including the human have been cloned. To determine the structure of the gene encoding the human GnRH receptor, we isolated the recepto...
متن کاملGonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor gene mutation: a new cause of hereditary hypogonadism and another mutated G-protein-coupled receptor.
The list of activating and inactivating mutations of the G-protein-coupled receptors with seven transmembrane domains involved in endocrine diseases is increasing rapidly. Two reports (1, 2) have recently added inactivating mutations of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) to the list. Hereditary hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is genetically heterogeneous, and so far only som...
متن کاملKisspeptin directly stimulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone release via G protein-coupled receptor 54.
We have recently described a molecular gatekeeper of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis with the observation that G protein-coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) is required in mice and men for the pubertal onset of pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion to occur. In the present study, we investigate the possible central mode of action of GPR54 and kisspe...
