Dynamic organisation of prolactin gene expression in living pituitary tissue.
Gene expression in living cells is highly dynamic, but temporal patterns of gene expression in intact tissues are largely unknown. The mammalian pituitary gland comprises several intermingled cell types, organised as interdigitated networks that interact functionally to generate co-ordinated hormone secretion. Live-cell imaging was used to quantify patterns of reporter gene expression in disper...
متن کاملSpatially coordinated dynamic gene transcription in living pituitary tissue
Transcription at individual genes in single cells is often pulsatile and stochastic. A key question emerges regarding how this behaviour contributes to tissue phenotype, but it has been a challenge to quantitatively analyse this in living cells over time, as opposed to studying snap-shots of gene expression state. We have used imaging of reporter gene expression to track transcription in living...

متن کاملGenistein-induced pituitary prolactin gene expression and prolactin release in ovariectomized ewes following a series of intracerebroventricular infusions.
The aim of the study was to evaluate whether genistein, a phytoestrogen commonly present in feed plants, affects prolactin release and its gene expression in the pituitary gland. In the experimental model, genistein was infused into the third ventricle (IIIv) of the brain in ewes during the short-daylight period (November-December), when the physiological plasma level of prolactin is low. Anima...
متن کاملRegulated expression of the prolactin gene in rat pituitary tumor cells
Prolactin (PRL) gene expression in three strains of GH cells (rat pituitary tumor cells) has been quantitated by measurement of: (a) intracellular and extracellular PRL, (b) cytoplasmic translatable PRL-specific mRNA (mRNAPRL), and (c) molecular hybridization of cytoplasmic poly(A) RNA to cDNAPRL (DNA complementary to mRNAPRL). Three GH cell lines utilized in this investigation were a PRL-produ...
