چکیده

The present study investigated the effects of diabetes and high glucose on GHRH receptor (GHRH-R) mRNA and protein levels in the pituitary of diabetic rats 2, 21, and 60 days post-streptozotocin (post-STZ) administration. Two days post-STZ, the 2.5-kb GHRH-R mRNA transcript was increased. Twenty-one days post-STZ, both the 2.5- and 4-kb transcripts and a 72-kDa (125)I-GHRH-GHRH-R complex were elevated. Sixty days post-STZ, the 4-kb transcript remained increased and the 45-kDa (125)I-GHRH-GHRH-R complex (functional receptor) was decreased. Hypothalamic GHRH mRNA and serum total IGF-I levels were reduced at all three time points. To better understand the role of high glucose on GHRH-R regulation, time-course effects of 33 compared with 6 mM d-glucose (DG) were examined in cultured anterior pituitary cells from 2-mo-old healthy rats. Membrane lipoperoxidation was present in 33 mM DG, and GHRH-R mRNA levels were diminished after 24 h, Fluo-GHRH internalization was marginal after 16-24 h, and GHRH-induced cAMP levels were decreased after 24 and 48 h. Altogether, these results indicate that the increase of the 2.5-kb GHRH-R mRNA transcript in vivo could be a consequence of a decrease of hypothalamic GHRH mRNA levels in STZ rats. Since it does not affect primarily functional GHRH-R levels, the initial diminution of circulating IGF-I levels could result from a decreased GHRH-R stimulation by GHRH. Thus, the effect of glucotoxicity would be related to a decrease of functional GHRH-R protein, as observed in rats 60 days post-STZ and in cultured pituitary cells from healthy rats exposed to a high-glucose environment.

Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone in Diabetes

Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is produced by the hypothalamus and stimulates growth hormone synthesis and release in the anterior pituitary gland. In addition, GHRH is an important regulator of cellular functions in many cells and organs. Expression of GHRH G-Protein Coupled Receptor (GHRHR) has been demonstrated in different peripheral tissues and cell types, including pancreatic isl...

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder which affects whole body systems including reproductive system. Diabetes is also a contributing factor to infertility. Metformin is one of the most common drugs to control hyperglycemia. In this study, 36 adult Sprague-Dawley female rats (170-210 g) were divided into 3 groups (control, diabetic and diabetic-treated by metformin). In second and third groups, diab...

Growth and reproduction are closely related. Growth hormone (GH)-transgenic common carp exhibit accelerated growth and delayed reproductive development, which provides an amenable model to study hormone cross talk between the growth and reproductive axes. We analyzed the energy status and reproductive development in GH-transgenic common carp by using multi-tissue RNA sequencing, real-time-PCR, ...
