NMR Studies of Metal-binding Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone
Functions of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) and its induced release by divalent metal ions have received great attention because this neurotransmitter subsequently regulates the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). Metal-LHRH complexes were synthesized by addition of various Cu(II),Ni(II),Zn(II) ions into LHRH in order to understand how the induced release of LHRH is possibl...
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 کاملStudies on the properties of hypothalamic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone.
The effects of various chemical and enzymatic treatments on the biological activity of porcine luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) are described. This experiment was performed before the elucidation of the structure of LH-RH. LH-RH activity was abolished by the following endopeptidases: chymotrypsin, subtilisin, papain, and thermolysin, but not by pepsin or trypsin. Exopeptidases d...
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 کاملLuteinizing 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...
