چکیده

The effects of salmon calcitonin (sCT) on the secretion of 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) were examined in female common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Vitellogenic stage fish adapted to high-Ca water were i.p. injected with vehicle, sCT, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), or hCG plus sCT. To determine whether ovarian follicles are equipped with CT receptors, a CT binding assay was conducted. In the in vitro experiments, vitellogenic follicles were incubated with stimulators and inhibitors. Administration of sCT increased the basal and hCG-stimulated E(2) release in vivo and in vitro. Binding characteristics of [(125)I]sCT to plasma membrane preparation of carp ovarian follicles showed saturability with high-affinity (K(d)=48.48 pmol/l and B(max)=1.2 pmol/mg protein). To clarify the mechanism of E(2) production by sCT, in vitro effect of sCT and hCG on aromatase activity (conversion of testosterone to E(2)) and cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450arom) gene expression in carp ovarian follicles were investigated. Salmon CT-stimulated both aromatase activity and P450arom gene expression in ovarian follicles of carp. sCT-stimulated E(2) release by the ovarian follicles in vitro was augmented in the presence of dibutyryl cAMP. Inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKA), SQ 22536 inhibited sCT-stimulated steroid production in a dose-dependent manner. Specific inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), NPC-15437 dihydrochloride had no inhibitory effects on sCT-induced E(2) release. The present study indicates that sCT binds specifically to carp ovary and stimulates E(2) production by increasing the activity of cytochrome P450 aromatase and P450arom gene expression. The results further suggest that stimulatory action of sCT on E(2) production is mediated through cAMP pathway.
