Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone neurons express Fos protein during the proestrous surge of luteinizing hormone.
The ability of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons to express the oncogene c-fos was examined during the estrous cycle in rats. The immunocytochemical localization of the c-fos-encoded antigen, Fos, was coupled with the immunocytochemical localization of LHRH. LHRH neurons showed no Fos immunoreactivity during diestrus-1, diestrus-2, estrus, or the morning of proestrus. However...
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 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 ...
متن کاملCircadian regulation of Kiss1 neurons: implications for timing the preovulatory gonadotropin-releasing hormone/luteinizing hormone surge.
The preovulatory GnRH/LH surge depends on the presence of estradiol (E(2)) and is gated by a circadian oscillator in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that causes the surge to occur within a specific temporal window. Although the mechanisms by which the clock times the LH surge are unclear, evidence suggests that the SCN is linked to GnRH neurons through a multisynaptic pathway that includes ne...
متن کاملProgesterone blockade of a luteinizing hormone surge blocks luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone Fos activation and activation of its preoptic area afferents.
Progesterone is capable of facilitating or blocking the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, depending on the timing of its administration. However, the precise targets of progesterone's actions are unknown. Since recent studies described the presence of a periventricular preoptic area (pePOA) neuron population afferent to LH-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons that is co-activated to express c-Fos wit...
