  • Adrenocorticotrophic and Melanocyte-Stimulating Peptides in the Human Pituitary by ALEXANDER P
    Biochem. J. (1974) 139, 593-602 593 Printed in Great Britain Adrenocorticotrophic and Melanocyte-Stimulating Peptides in the Human Pituitary By ALEXANDER P. SCOTT and PHILIP J. LOWRY* Department ofChemical Pathology, St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London EC1A 7BE, U.K. and CIBA Laboratories, Horsham, Sussex RH12 4AB, U.K. (Received 7 December 1973) The adrenocorticotrophic and melanocyte-stimulating peptides of the human pituitary were investigated by means of radioimmunoassay, bioassay and physicochemical pro- cedures. Substantial amounts of adrenocorticotrophin and a peptide resembling /8-lipotrophin were identified in pituitary extracts, but a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, ,B-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide, which have been identified in thepars intermedia ofpituitaries from other vertebrates, were not found. The absence of fJ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone appears to contradict previous chemical and radioimmunological studies. Our results suggest, however, that it is not a natural pituitary peptide but an artefact formed by enzymic degradation of ,6-lipotrophin during extraction. Melanocyte-stimulating and corticotrophic pep- extraction of human pituitaries for growth hormone tides have been identified in the pituitaries of all (Dixon, 1960). Its stucture was determined by Harris vertebrate species studied, and several have been (1959) and shown to be similar to ,B-MSH isolated isolated and characterized. They belong to two from other species, except for the presence of an structually related classes, namely those related to extra four amino acids at the N-terminus. The adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) including ACTH, presence of sufficient amounts of 8-MSH in human a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH) and pituitaries to account alone for the bulk of the 'corticotrophin-like intermediate lobepeptide' ACTH melanocyte-stimulating activity in the pituitary (18-39) peptide (CLIP), and others related to fi- extracts was shown by radioimmunoassay (Abe et al., melanocyte-stimulating hormone (,B-MSH) including 1967b).

  • Expression and Localization of Gastrin Messenger RNA and Peptide in Spermatogenic Cells
    Expression and localization of gastrin messenger RNA and peptide in spermatogenic cells. M Schalling, … , T Hökfelt, J F Rehfeld J Clin Invest. 1990;86(2):660-669. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI114758. Research Article In previous studies we have shown that the gene encoding cholecystokinin (CCK) is expressed in spermatogenic cells of several mammalian species. In the present study we show that a gene homologous to the CCK-related hormone, gastrin, is expressed in the human testis. The mRNA hybridizing to a human gastrin cDNA probe in the human testis was of the same size (0.7 kb) as gastrin mRNA in the human antrum. By in situ hybridization the gastrinlike mRNA was localized to seminiferous tubules. Immunocytochemical staining of human testis revealed gastrinlike peptides in the seminiferous tubules primarily at a position corresponding to spermatids and spermatozoa. In ejaculated spermatozoa gastrinlike immunoreactivity was localized to the acrosome. Acrosomal localization could also be shown in spermatids with electron microscopy. Extracts of the human testis contained significant amounts of progastrin, but no bioactive amidated gastrins. In contrast, ejaculated sperm contained mature carboxyamidated gastrin 34 and gastrin 17. The concentration of gastrin in ejaculated human spermatozoa varied considerably between individuals. We suggest that amidated gastrin (in humans) and CCK (in other mammals) are released during the acrosome reaction and that they may be important for fertilization.

Research Article Endocrinology Null mutations of the proopiomelanocortin gene (Pomc–/–) cause obesity in humans and rodents, but the contributions of central versus pituitary POMC deficiency are not fully established. To elucidate these roles, we introduced a POMC transgene (Tg) that selectively restored peripheral melanocortin and corticosterone secretion in Pomc–/– mice. Rather than improving energy balance, the genetic replacement of pituitary POMC in Pomc–/–Tg+ mice aggravated their metabolic syndrome with increased caloric intake and feed efficiency, reduced oxygen consumption, increased subcutaneous, visceral, and hepatic fat, and severe insulin resistance. Pair-feeding of Pomc–/–Tg+ mice to the daily intake of lean controls normalized their rate of weight gain but did not abolish obesity, indicating that hyperphagia is a major but not sole determinant of the phenotype. Replacement of corticosterone in the drinking water of Pomc–/– mice recapitulated the hyperphagia, excess weight gain and fat accumulation, and hyperleptinemia characteristic of genetically rescued Pomc–/–Tg+ mice. These data demonstrate that CNS POMC peptides play a critical role in energy homeostasis that is not substituted by peripheral POMC. Restoration of pituitary POMC expression to create a de facto neuronal POMC deficiency exacerbated the development of obesity, largely via glucocorticoid modulation […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/25243/pdf Research article Glucocorticoids exacerbate obesity and insulin resistance in neuron-specific proopiomelanocortin-deficient mice James L.

Such communication tunes the excitatory and inhibitory function of nociceptor-based circuits, eventually contributing to pain modulation. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is the initiator hormone for the conventional hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, preparing our body for stress insults. Although knowledge of the expression and functional profiles of CRH and its receptors and the outcomes of their interactions has been actively accumulating for many brain regions, those for nociceptors are still under gradual investigation. Currently, based on the evidence of their expressions in nociceptors and their neighboring components, several hypotheses for possible pain modulations are emerging. Here we overview the historical attention to CRH and its receptors on the peripheral nociception and the recent increases in information regarding their roles in tuning pain signals. We also briefly contemplate the possibility that the stress-response paradigm can be locally intrapolated into intercellular communication that is driven by nociceptor neurons.

  • Proopiomelanocortin, a Polypeptide Precursor with Multiple Functions
    European Journal of Endocrinology (2003) 149 79–90 ISSN 0804-4643 INVITED REVIEW Proopiomelanocortin, a polypeptide precursor with multiple functions: from physiology to pathological conditions M L Raffin-Sanson1,3, Y de Keyzer1 and X Bertagna1,2 1Institut Cochin, De´partement d’Endocrinologie, Universite´ Rene´ Descartes-Paris V, France, 2Service des Maladies Endocriniennes et Me´taboliques, Hoˆpital Cochin, Paris, France and 3Me´decine Interne 2, Endocrinologie, Hoˆpital Ambroise Pare´, Boulogne/S, France (Correspondence should be addressed to X Bertagna; Email: [email protected]) Abstract Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the polypeptide precursor of ACTH. First discovered in anterior pitu- itary corticotroph cells, it has more recently been revealed to have many other physiological aspects. The fine molecular mechanisms of ACTH biosynthesis show that ACTH is but one piece of a puzzle which contains many other peptides. Present in various tissues, among which are pituitary, hypo- thalamus, central nervous system and skin, POMC undergoes extensive post-translational processing. This processing is tissue-specific and generates, depending on the case, various sets of peptides involved in completely diverse biological functions. POMC expressed in corticotroph cells of the pitu- itary is necessary for adrenal function. Recent developments have shown that POMC-expressing neur- ons in the brain play a major role in the control of pain and energy homeostasis. Local production of POMC-derived peptides in skin may influence melanogenesis. A still unknown function in the placenta is likely. POMC has become a paradigmatic polypeptide precursor model illustrating the variable roles of a single gene and its various products in different localities.

  • Reciprocal Regulation of Antral Gastrin and Somatostatin Gene Expression by Omeprazole-Induced Achlorhydria
    Reciprocal regulation of antral gastrin and somatostatin gene expression by omeprazole-induced achlorhydria. S J Brand, D Stone J Clin Invest. 1988;82(3):1059-1066. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113662. Research Article Gastric acid exerts a feedback inhibition on the secretion of gastrin from antral G cells. This study examines whether gastrin gene expression is also regulated by changes in gastric pH. Achlorhydria was induced in rats by the gastric H+/K+ ATPase inhibitor, omeprazole (100 mumol/kg). This resulted in fourfold increases in both serum gastrin (within 2 h) and gastrin mRNA levels (after 24 h). Antral somatostatin D cells probably act as chemoreceptors for gastric acid to mediate a paracrine inhibition on gastrin secretion from adjacent G cells. Omeprazole-induced achlorhydria reduced D-cell activity as shown by a threefold decrease in antral somatostatin mRNA levels that began after 24 h. Exogenous administration of the somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995 (10 micrograms/kg) prevented both the hypergastrinemia and the increase in gastrin mRNA levels caused by omeprazole-induced achlorhydria. Exogenous somatostatin, however, did not influence the decrease in antral somatostatin mRNA levels seen with achlorhydria. These data, therefore, support the hypothesis that antral D cells act as chemoreceptors for changes in gastric pH, and modulates somatostatin secretion and synthesis to mediate a paracrine inhibition on gastrin gene expression in adjacent G cells.
