Gonads directly regulate growth in teleosts.
In general, there is a relationship between growth and reproduction, and gonads are known to be important organs for growth, but direct evidence for their role is lacking. Here, using a fish model, we report direct evidence that gonads are endocrine organs equal to the pituitary in controlling body growth. Gonadal loss of function, gain of function, and rescue of growth were investigated in til...
متن کاملRegulation of gene expression mediating indeterminate muscle growth in teleosts
Teleosts are unique among vertebrates due to their indeterminate muscle growth, i.e., continued production of neonatal muscle fibers until death. However, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying this property is unknown. Here, we focused on the torafugu (Takifugu rubripes) myosin heavy chain gene, MYHM2528-1, which is specifically expressed in neonatal muscle fibers produced by indeterminate musc...
متن کاملPlexin-B1 Directly Interacts with PDZ-RhoGEF/LARG to Regulate RhoA and Growth Cone Morphology
Plexins are widely expressed transmembrane proteins that, in the nervous system, mediate repulsive signals of semaphorins. However, the molecular nature of plexin-mediated signal transduction remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that plexin-B family members associate through their C termini with the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors PDZ-RhoGEF and LARG. Activation of plexin-B1 ...
متن کاملThe Growth of the Gonads in DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.
As shown by DOBZHANSKY and BRIDGES (1928), triploid intersexes in Drosophila may be considered as individuals developing up to a certain moment as males and thereafter as females. The earlier or later occurrence of the turning point in the development of an intersex determines the production of an individual manifesting relatively more male or relatively more female characteristics. If the turn...
متن کاملCirculating levels of IGF-1 directly regulate bone growth and density.
IGF-1 is a growth-promoting polypeptide that is essential for normal growth and development. In serum, the majority of the IGFs exist in a 150-kDa complex including the IGF molecule, IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), and the acid labile subunit (ALS). This complex prolongs the half-life of serum IGFs and facilitates their endocrine actions. Liver IGF-1-deficient (LID) mice and ALS knockout (ALSK...
