In this study the GnRH receptors (GnRH-R) in cultured rat pituitary cells were examined after treatment with GnRH and cyclic nucleotide derivatives. GnRH at doses of between 10(-11) and 10(-8) M caused GnRH-R increases, 10(-9) M resulting in a 50% stimulation of both GnRH-R and LH release. (Bu)2cAMP increased GnRH-R in a dose dependent manner, with a maximal 2-fold increase at 1 mM, with no effect on LH release in serum-containing medium. The time-course of both the GnRH and (Bu)2cAMP stimulation of GnRH-R was similar, with maximal levels being reached between 6-12 h. There was no difference in the GnRH receptor affinity subsequent to either GnRH or (Bu)2cAMP treatment. GnRH-R increases of 70% were observed when pituitary cells were treated with 1 mM cAMP and 8- bromocAMP , but n-butyric acid, adenosine, and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (all 1 mM) were not effective. Fifty eight millimolar KCl resulted in a 2-fold elevation of GnRH-R. Isobutylmethylxanthine (0.2 mM) did not affect basal receptor levels and slightly enhanced the GnRH-and potassium-stimulated increase of GnRH-R, whereas the increase caused by (Bu)2cAMP was completely prevented. Simultaneous treatment of cultured pituitary cells with either GnRH, KCl, or (Bu)2cAMP and cycloheximide completely prevented GnRH-R increases, while not affecting either basal or GnRH and KCl-stimulated LH secretion. None of the cyclic nucleotides stimulated LH release under the culture conditions employed to examine receptor regulation. However, when incubated in medium not containing serum, both (Bu)2cAMP and cyclic guanosine monophosphate stimulated significant LH release. When the pituitary cells were treated with GnRH in medium without serum, no increase in GnRH-R was measured, although LH release was unaffected. However, absence of serum in the medium did not affect either the K+ or (Bu)2cAMP stimulation of GnRH-R. The GnRH antagonist ( DpGlu1 , D-Phe2, D-Trp3,6) GnRH (1 microM) prevented both GnRH- and (Bu)2cAMP-induced increases in GnRH-R, although not that of 58 mM KCl. The antagonist also inhibited GnRH-stimulated LH secretion, although not that caused by KCl.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D011966 Receptors, LHRH Receptors with a 6-kDa protein on the surfaces of cells that secrete LUTEINIZING HORMONE or FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE, usually in the adenohypophysis. LUTEINIZING HORMONE-RELEASING HORMONE binds to these receptors, is endocytosed with the receptor and, in the cell, triggers the release of LUTEINIZING HORMONE or FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE by the cell. These receptors are also found in rat gonads. INHIBINS prevent the binding of GnRH to its receptors.
