Endogenous thyroid hormones modulate pituitary somatotroph differentiation during chicken embryonic development.
Growth hormone cell differentiation normally occurs between day 14 and day 16 of chicken embryonic development. We reported previously that corticosterone (CORT) could induce somatotroph differentiation in vitro and in vivo and that thyroid hormones could act in combination with CORT to further augment the abundance of somatotrophs in vitro. The objective of the present study was to test our hy...
متن کاملIdentification of the blood-borne somatotroph-differentiating factor during chicken embryonic development.
Somatotrophs become a significant population by day 16 of chicken embryonic development. We have previously demonstrated that an earlier induction of GH cell differentiation is possible with the addition of day 16 embryonic serum to cultures of day 12 pituitary cells, an age when somatotrophs are rare. The present study was designed to identify the blood-borne signal(s) responsible for the seru...
متن کاملThyroid hormones differentially modulate enolase isozymes during rat skeletal and cardiac muscle development.
During muscle development, an isozymic transition of the glycolytic enzyme enolase occurs from the embryonic and ubiquitous alphaalpha-isoform to the muscle-specific betabeta-isoform. Here, we demonstrate a stimulatory role of thyroid hormones on these two enolase genes during rat development in hindlimb muscles and an inhibitory effect on the muscle-specific enolase gene in cardiac muscle. In ...
متن کاملRegulation of somatotroph differentiation and growth hormone (GH) secretion by corticosterone and GH-releasing hormone during embryonic development.
The role of extracellular factors in the regulation of anterior pituitary cell differentiation and GH secretion during embryonic development was investigated. Previously, we reported that somatotrophs become a significant population by embryonic day (e-) 16 of the chick and that corticosterone is the active compound responsible for the observed GH cell-differentiating activity of e-16 serum. Mo...
متن کاملSiah Ubiquitin Ligases Modulate Nodal Signaling during Zebrafish Embryonic Development
Siah2 is a zebrafish homologue of mammalian Siah family. Siah acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that binds proteins destined for degradation. Extensive homology between siah and Drosophila Siah homologue (sina) suggests their important physiological roles during embryonic development. However, detailed functional studies of Siah in vertebrate development have not been carried out. Here we report t...
