Cytogenesis in the rat adrenal cortex: evidence for an ACTH-induced centripetal cell migration from the zona glomerulosa. 1978

A S Belloni, and G Mazzocchi, and V Meneghelli, and G G Nussdorfer

The mechanism underlying cytogenesis in the adrenal cortex of ACTH-treated rats was investigated. ACTH was found to increase the number of parenchymal cells in the zona fasciculata as well as that of "S" phase cells in the inner half of the zona glomerulosa and in the outer third of the zona fasciculata. The fate of 3H-thymidine labelled cells in ACTH-administered rats was also autoradiographically followed. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the ACTH-provoked hyperplasia in the zona fasciculata involves the centripetal migration of newly-formed parenchymal cells from the zona glomerulosa.

D000302 Adrenal Cortex The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and ANDROSTENEDIONE. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN. Cortex, Adrenal
D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).
