| Abstract: | Effects of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone (sGnRH) on expression of gonadotropin (GTH) subunit genes were examined using primary pituitary cell cultures of masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou). Fishes were assessed at three reproductive stages, i.e., in April (early maturation), in June (maturing), and in September (spawning). Amounts of GTH subunit mRNAs in pituitary cells were determined using real-time PCR after incubation with IGF-I and/or sGnRH. IGF-I alone had almost no effects on three GTH subunit mRNAs in both sexes, except for decrease in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) β mRNA in males in June. sGnRH alone was effective in stimulation of FSHβ and luteinizing hormone (LH) β gene expression in males in April. Thereafter it had no significant effects on GTH subunit mRNAs, although in September it tended to increase FSHβ and LHβ mRNAs in females. Co-administered IGF-I counteracted the sGnRH-induced expression of FSHβ and LHβ genes in males in April, but not in females in September. These results suggest that IGF-I is involved in direct regulation of GTH subunit genes during sexual maturation. In particular, IGF-I differently modulates sGnRH-induced GTH subunit gene expression, depending on reproductive stages. |
