The effect of gonadal steroids on basal and GnRH-stimulated hCG release was studied using collagenase-dispersed trophoblast cells from early pregnancy. Both GnRH and a GnRH superagonist, Buserelin, stimulated hCG release with a similar dose dependency. Progesterone (0.1 to 10 micrograms/ml) inhibited GnRH-stimulated hCG release in a dose dependent manner as well as basal hCG release. Relatively high concentrations of estradiol (10 micrograms/ml) stimulated both basal and GnRH-mediated hCG release and antagonized the inhibitory effect of progesterone on hCG release at 1 micrograms/ml as well as RU486 (1 microgram/ml). These results indicate that progesterone has an important role in both basal and GnRH-mediated hCG regulatory system in the placenta.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010906 Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones Peptides, natural or synthetic, that stimulate the release of PITUITARY HORMONES. They were first isolated from the extracts of the HYPOTHALAMUS; MEDIAN EMINENCE; PITUITARY STALK; and NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. In addition, some hypophysiotropic hormones control pituitary cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and hormone synthesis. Some can act on more than one pituitary hormone.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).
