Abstract:

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) play key roles in vertebrate gametogenesis and steroidogenesis. They are mainly synthesized in the pituitary gland. While investigating the ontogeny of FSH and LH cells in the cichlid fish Cichlasoma dimerus by immunohistochemistry (IHC), we unexpectedly found immunoreactive neurons in the preoptic area, sending their projections through different brain areas and neurohypophysis. Our previous work using Western blot and IHC techniques applied to the adult brain confirmed these findings. To further demonstrate the extrapituitary expression of these hormones, we performed RT-PCR detecting sequences coding for β-FSH and β-LH subunits in the C. dimerus pituitary and brain (preoptic-hypothalamic area). The expression of these transcripts in both organs was consistent with their peptide expression showing a high sequence homology when compared with other phylogenetically related fish. An individual pituitary in vitro culture system was utilized to study the possible modulatory effect of brain-derived gonadotropins on pituitary hormone secretion. Pituitary explants were cultured with different concentrations of LH or FSH, and the culture media were analyzed by Western blot. Exogenous LH produced a dose-dependent increase in pituitary β-LH, β-FSH and somatolactin (SL) releases. No effect was observed on growth hormone (GH). The effect on prolactin (PRL) was not consistent among treatments. Exogenous FSH produced an inhibition in β-LH release, dose-dependent increases in β-FSH and SL releases, and no effect on PRL and GH releases. These findings support the concept of regulation of pituitary trophic hormones by brain-derived gonadotropins. Copyright © 2008 S. Karger AG.
