Effects of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, forskolin, and cholera toxin on hormone production in human term placental cells. 1987

F Zhou, and B H Yuen, and P C Leung

Trophoblast cells from human term placenta in monolayer culture were used to investigate the role of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate in the production of human chorionic gonadotropin and estradiol-17 beta. The intracellular concentration of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate was elevated by (1) addition of an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate analogue, 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, (2) inhibition of the hydrolysis of Gs-GTP complex by cholera toxin, and (3) direct stimulation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin. Addition of 2 mmol/L of 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate markedly increased the accumulation of human chorionic gonadotropin in the culture medium on days 2, 3, and 4 of treatment. Likewise, addition of cholera toxin (0.2 microgram/ml) or forskolin (50 mumol/L) also enhanced human chorionic gonadotropin production. On the other hand, the production of estradiol-17 beta was significantly inhibited by 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, at the same time that human chorionic gonadotropin production was enhanced in the same experiments. These results further support a differential role of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate on human chorionic gonadotropin and estradiol-17 beta production in the human term placenta.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007743 Labor, Obstetric The repetitive uterine contraction during childbirth which is associated with the progressive dilation of the uterine cervix (CERVIX UTERI). Successful labor results in the expulsion of the FETUS and PLACENTA. Obstetric labor can be spontaneous or induced (LABOR, INDUCED). Obstetric Labor
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
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
D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.

D004958 Estradiol The 17-beta-isomer of estradiol, an aromatized C18 steroid with hydroxyl group at 3-beta- and 17-beta-position.

D005576 Colforsin Potent activator of the adenylate cyclase system and the biosynthesis of cyclic AMP. From the plant COLEUS FORSKOHLII. Has antihypertensive, positive inotropic, platelet aggregation inhibitory, and smooth muscle relaxant activities; also lowers intraocular pressure and promotes release of hormones from the pituitary gland.

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).

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety.
