Cyclic nucleotides and suppression of follicle-stimulating hormone release by inhibin.

Abstract:

:The relative roles of the cyclic nucleotide messengers cAMP and cGMP in the suppression of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion in response to inhibin (IBN) were assessed employing rat gonadotropes in monolayer culture. While exposure of cells to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) induced a significant increase in the amounts of both FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) released into the culture medium, these responses were dampened by the administration of IBN (in porcine follicular fluid). Addition of cGMP to the system failed to restore FSH release, while cAMP restored basal FSH release. Modulation of nucleotide metabolism with theophylline, sodium nitroprusside, and a protein kinase inhibitor failed to overcome the IBN-induced suppression of FSH release. The cellular content of calmodulin increased in response to GnRH, a response antagonized by IBN. Cellular levels of cGMP were also increased by GnRH, but this response was unaltered by IBN. The administered drugs all failed to reverse these effects of IBN. These data indicate that the IBN-induced suppression of FSH release is not dependent upon the cyclic nucleotides cAMP and/or cGMP. However, a role in the maintenance of basal FSH synthesis and release for cAMP is indicated.
