AbstractIn goldfish the two native forms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) salmon GnRH (sGnRH) and chicken GnRH-II (cGnRH-II), stimulate both gonadotropin-II (GTH-II) and growth hormone (GH) release. Modifications of GnRH structure at positions 1, 2, 3, and 6 often result in an antagonist in goldfish, an observation well documented in mammalian studies. In a preliminary study in goldfish, a mammalian GnRH antagonist, [Ac-D(2)Nal 1, 4Cl-D-Phe 2, D(3)-Pal 3,6, Arg 5, D-Ala 10]-mGnRH (analog L) weakly stimulated GTH-II release, and strongly inhibited GH release. The objectives of the present study were to study the dose-related actions of analog L on GTH-II and GH release in the goldfish, the specificity of inhibition of native GnRH actions, and to test whether analog L can act directly on goldfish pituitary cells. In a goldfish pituitary fragments perifusion system, analog L at different concentrations, given as 2-min pulses or as 30-min prolonged treatments, stimulated GTH-II and inhibited GH release in a dose-dependent manner. Analog L at 2 μM concentration (45 min) significantly suppressed sGnRH- and cGnRH-II-stimulated GTH-II as well as GH release. Analog L specifically inhibited GnRH-stimulated GH release, without having any significant effects on the GH release induced by either SKF38393, a dopamine D1 receptor agonist, or thyrotropin-releasing hormone. The GTH-II stimulatory and GH-inhibitory actions of analog L were significantly suppressed by a 'true' GnRH antagonist (Ac-Δ 3-Pro 1, 4FD-Phe 2, D-Trp 3,6)-mGnRH. Further, analog L stimulated GTH-II release and suppressed GH release from the enzymatically dispersed goldfish pituitary cells, indicating the direct actions of analog L at the pituitary cell level. Analog L also displaced 125I-(D-Arg 6, Pro 9 NHEt)-sGnRH bound to crude goldfish pituitary membrane preparations in a dose-related manner. In conclusion, contrary to its action as a potent GnRH antagonist in mammals, analog L has GTH-II stimulatory action in goldfish. Analog L by acting via GnRH receptors at the pituitary cell level differentially acts on GTH-II and GH release, suggesting functional differences in the properties of the GnRH receptors on GTH and GH cells. Analog L also specifically inhibits sGnRH and cGnRH-II actions on GTH-II and GH release.
