Inhibition by gossypol of cyclic AMP production in mouse Leydig cells. 1986

S Pearce, and S B Sufi, and P J O'Shaughnessy, and A Donaldson, and S L Jeffcoate

Gossypol has been shown to inhibit steroidogenesis in leydig cells. This study examined the mechanism of this action by investigating the effect of gossypol on leydig cell hCG receptor binding, adenylate cyclase activity and cyclic AMP production in leydig cells. Gossypol had no effect on hCG binding to cell membranes but inhibited LH-stimulated cyclic AMP production in whole purified leydig cells. It also reduced the stimulation caused by LH, Gpp(NH)p, forskolin and fluoride in membranes from leydig cells and also from liver. It is therefore possible that gossypol affects cyclic AMP production at the level of ATP conversion to cyclic AMP, although effects on the G-protein and catalytic subunit cannot be ruled out.

D007985 Leydig Cells Steroid-producing cells in the interstitial tissue of the TESTIS. They are under the regulation of PITUITARY HORMONES; LUTEINIZING HORMONE; or interstitial cell-stimulating hormone. TESTOSTERONE is the major androgen (ANDROGENS) produced.

D008297 Male Males
D011974 Receptors, LH Those protein complexes or molecular sites on the surfaces and cytoplasm of gonadal cells that bind luteinizing or chorionic gonadotropic hormones and thereby cause the gonadal cells to synthesize and secrete sex steroids. The hormone-receptor complex is internalized from the plasma membrane and initiates steroid synthesis.

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.
