OBJECTIVE The role of endogenous GHRH in arginine-, insulin-, clonidine- and l-dopa-induced GH secretion was studied in man using a GHRH antagonist (GHRH-Ant). DESIGN Ten healthy adult males were studied for serum GH responses to arginine or insulin singly, or sequentially 120 min after GHRH injection with or without combined administration of GHRH-Ant. Further, GHRH, clonidine or l-dopa were...
GHRH is a neuropeptide that has also been localized to the immune system. The physiological function of GHRH in the immune system has not been elucidated. This study was conducted to determine whether immune GHRH expression is altered in certain pathological states, such as immune cell tumors, and whether gender, aging, and alterations in the sex steroid milieu influence the expression of this ...
More than 25% of patients diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma have invasive primary cancer accompanied by metastases. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) plays an important role in reproduction. Here, we examined the effect of a GHRH antagonist on the motility of endometrial cancer cells and the mechanisms of action of the antagonist in endometrial cancer. Western blotting and immunohistoc...
Despite the well-documented action of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) on the stimulation of production and release of growth hormone (GH), the effects of GHRH in peripheral tissues are incompletely explored. In this study, we show that GHRH plays a role in wound healing and tissue repair by acting primarily on wound-associated fibroblasts. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) in culture a...
Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and its receptors are expressed in a wide variety of human tumours and established cancer cell lines and are involved in carcinogenesis. In addition, GHRH antagonists exert an antitumour activity in experimental cancer models. Recent studies indicate that the mechanisms involved in the mediation of the effects of GHRH include the regulation of the metabol...
BACKGROUND Growth hormone-releasing hormone agonists (GHRH-As) stimulate cardiac repair following myocardial infarction (MI) in rats through the activation of the GHRH signaling pathway within the heart. We tested the hypothesis that the administration of GHRH-As prevents ventricular remodeling in a swine subacute MI model. METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve female Yorkshire swine (25 to 30 kg) under...
Glucocorticoids regulate GH synthesis and secretion by influencing both hypothalamic and pituitary function. With respect to GH-releasing hormone (GHRH), an important GH secretagogue, glucocorticoids are reported not only to suppress hypothalamic GHRH expression but also to augment pituitary responsiveness to GHRH. To investigate further this latter observation, we have determined the effects o...
In this study, the spontaneous dwarf rat (SDR) has been used to examine GHRH production and action in the selective absence of endogenous GH. This dwarf model is unique in that GH is not produced because of a point mutation in the GH gene. However, other pituitary hormones are not obviously compromised. Examination of the hypothalamic pituitary-axis of SDRs revealed that GHRH messenger RNA (mRN...
BACKGROUND Hypothalamic GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) regulates GH release from the pituitary, but an ectopic production of GHRH has been detected in various non-hypothalamic tissues, especially cancers. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether endometrial tumors produce GHRH. METHODS Twenty-four endometrioid, three serous papillary (SP), three mixed type endometrioid/serous papillary adenocarcinomas...
Gastric cancer (GC) ranks as the fourth most frequent in incidence and second in mortality among all cancers worldwide. The development of effective treatment approaches is an urgent requirement. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and GHRH receptor (GHRH-R) have been found to be present in a variety of tumoral tissues and cell lines. Therefore the inhibition of GHRH-R was proposed as a pro...
