Abstract:
:Secretogranin I (SgI; chromogranin B) belongs to a class of acidic tyrosine-sulfated secretory proteins believed to play a role in the secretory process of endocrine cells. Our aim here was to compare the levels of SgI mRNA to that of prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH), using rat pituitary cell lines. As far as the constitutive expression is concerned, we found a positive correlation between SgI mRNA and PRL mRNA levels. However, the neuropeptide TRH (50 nM) inhibited the accumulation of SgI mRNA in GH3B6 cells whereas, as expected, it induced a rapid and sustained increase in PRL mRNA accumulation. By contrast, 17 beta-estradiol (1 nM) stimulated the accumulation of both SgI and PRL mRNAs, with the same EC50 (18-59 pM). Reciprocally, treatment with dexamethasone (100 nM) reduced the level of SgI and PRL mRNAs to 23% and 29% of control, respectively, but led to a 2.1-fold increase in the GH mRNA level. Altogether, the present work shows that SgI gene expression is subject to multiple hormonal regulations and occasionally parallels the regulation of the PRL gene but never that of the GH gene, under the conditions tested.
