The regulation and molecular properties of the dopamine (DA) D2 receptors were compared in the prolactin-secreting 7315a anterior pituitary tumor with those in the striatum of rats. Chronic treatment with haloperidol increases the maximal binding for [3H]spiroperidol in tumor and striatum, but the percent increase is much higher in tumor than in striatum. Photoaffinity labelling of DA D2 receptors with N-(p-azido-m-[125I]iodophenethyl)spiperone ([125I]N3-NAPS) yielded a major specifically labeled peptide with the Mr of 32-34 kDa in tumor, and two specifically labeled peptides with Mr of 32-34 and 92-94 kDa in striatum. The analysis of DA D2 receptor mRNA shows that the size is similar in tumor and striatum. The DA D2 receptor mRNA in tumor is very low and chronic treatment with haloperidol produces a considerable increase of the specific mRNA. It is postulated that the reported defect in regulation of prolactin release by DA agonists might be due to posttranslational changes in the tumor DA D2 receptor.

D010911 Pituitary Neoplasms Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
