Приказ свих података о документуАпстракт:
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a hypothalamic decapeptide that controls
mammalian reproduction by acting on its receptor (GnRHR) expressed on pituitary
gonadotrope cells. While GnRHR signaling in gonadotropes is well described,
knowledge of GnRHR activation-related events at extrapituitary sites including
neurons is limited. It was proposed that GnRH analogs (GnRHa) induce distinct
changes in hippocampal gene expression, emotional processes, and cognitive
functions.
To explore neuronal GnRHR signaling we used the human neuroblastoma cell line
SH-SY5Y. Further, we explored the regional expression of Gnrhr in rat brain and
investigated the expression of several relevant genes in the hippocampus and preoptic
area of peripubertal male rats treated with GnRHa.
GNRHR is expressed in SH-SY5Y cell line, but its expression does not change after
adding GnRHa in the incubation media. Electrophysiological recordings confirmed
that GnRHa induced membrane depolarization but could not evoke action potentials.
In the rat brain, Gnrhr expression could be detected in the hippocampus, amygdala,
and hypothalamus, including the preoptic area. Prolonged treatment of peripubertal
rats with GnRHa had no effect on the expression of genes in the hippocampus
previously shown to be affected in the sheep model of delayed puberty.
These results imply that neuronal GnRHR is either differently coupled (not coupled
with Gq/11 protein), or that its membrane density is too low to induce transcriptional
events. More investigation is needed to elucidate the role(s) of GnRH-GnRHR
signaling in the brain.
