The mechanisms by which vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) stimulate prolactin release from pituitary cells.

چکیده
The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on prolactin (PRL) secretion from pituitary cells is reviewed and compared to the effect of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). These two peptides induced different secretion profiles from parafused lactotrophs in culture. TRH was found to increase PRL secretion within 4 s and induced a biphasic secretion pattern, while VIP induced a monophasic secretion pattern after a lag time of 45-60 s. The secretion profiles are compared to changes in adenylate cyclase activity, production of inositol polyphosphates, changes in intracellular calcium concentrations and changes in electrophysiological properties of the cell membrane.

Interaction between substance P and TRH in the control of prolactin release.
Substance P (SP) may participate as a paracrine and/or autocrine factor in the regulation of anterior pituitary function. This project studied the effect of TRH on SP content and release from anterior pituitary and the role of SP in TRH-induced prolactin release. TRH (10(-7) M), but not vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), increased immunoreactive-SP (ir-SP) content and release from male ra...
متن کاملPhospholipase C activation in rat pituitary adenoma (GH) cells.
The presence of the pertussis toxin (PTX) insensitive GTP-binding proteins (C-proteins) G(q) alpha and/or G(11) alpha has been demonstrated in three different prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) producing pituitary adenoma cell lines. Immunoblocking of their coupling to hormone receptors indicates that G(q) and/or G(11) confer throliberin (TRH) responsive phospholipase C (PL-C) activity in ...
متن کاملRegulation of GH3-cell function via adenosine A1 receptors. Inhibition of prolactin release, cyclic AMP production and inositol phosphate generation.
We examined the mechanism by which adenosine inhibits prolactin secretion from GH3 cells, a rat pituitary tumour line. Prolactin release is enhanced by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), which increases cyclic AMP, and by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which increases inositol phosphates (IPx). Analogues of adenosine decreased prolactin release, VIP-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation an...
متن کاملRegulation of the gastrin promoter by epidermal growth factor and neuropeptides.
The regulation of gastrin gene transcription was studied in GH4 pituitary cells transfected with constructs comprised of the first exon of the human gastrin gene and various lengths of 5' regulatory sequences ligated upstream of the reporter gene chloramphenicol acetyltransferase. Gastrin reporter gene activity in GH4 cells was equal to the activity of a reporter gene transcribed from the endog...
متن کاملThyrotropin Releasing Hormone Stimulation of Prolactin Release
Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and high extracellular K+ induce prolactin release from rat pituitary cells (GH3 cells) in culture. TRH, as well as high K' (SO m), was shown to increase 46Ca2' efflux from these cells. The effects of TRH and high K' on membrane polarization was determined indirectly using the lipophilic cation, triphenylmethyl phosphonium ion (TPMP'). The resting membran...
