Fate of thyrotropin releasing hormone after binding and stimulation of prolactin release by GH3 cells. Evidence for release of unmodified (3H)-TRH. 1976

D Gourdji, and A Tixier-Vidal, and H Levine-Pinto, and P Pradelles, and J L Morgat, and P Fromageot

GH3 cells which had been exposed for 30 min to (3H)-TRH and had performed their maximun biological response, i.e. increase of prolactin (PRL) release, retained intracellular radioactivity which consisted of chemically unmodified TRH (greater than or equal to 93%). Such preloaded GH3 cells were found able to spontaneously release into the culture medium a radioactive material (3H)-RM) which was analyzed. The kinetics of binding of (3H)-RM to intact GH3 cells and competition with unlabeled TRH were indistinguishable from (3H-TRH. (3H)-RM was able to stimulate PRL release from GH3 cells. In addition thin layer electrophoresis (TLE) revelaed that 90% of (3H)-RM migrated like TRH reference. All these features strongly suggest that (3H)-RM is identical to (3H)-TRH.

D010903 Pituitary Gland, Anterior The anterior glandular lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis. It secretes the ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES that regulate vital functions such as GROWTH; METABOLISM; and REPRODUCTION.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein

D013973 Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone A tripeptide that stimulates the release of THYROTROPIN and PROLACTIN. It is synthesized by the neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, TRH (was called TRF) stimulates the release of TSH and PRL from the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
