Binding and internalization of native gonadoliberin (GnRH) by anterior pituitary gonadotrophs of the rat. A quantitative autoradiographic study after cryoultramicrotomy.

Abstract:

:To identify anterior pituitary cell types containing GnRH binding sites and to study the internalization process of this peptide by target cells under physiological conditions, autoradiography was performed on rat anterior pituitaries removed at specific time intervals (2-60 min) after intravenous injection of mono-radioiodinated 125I-GnRH into intact males. At electron-microscopic level, gonadotrophs and lactotrophs appeared to contain silver grains. Concomitant administration of an excess of unlabeled GnRH with the radioiodinated hormone prevented this localization indicating the specificity of the reaction. The time-course study in gonadotrophs showed that 2 min after injection silver grains could be found over the plasma membrane, secretory granules and nuclear membrane. Similar results were observed 5 and 15 min after injection. Extensive label was observed over the nucleus and nuclear membrane 15 to 60 min after injection. The injection of a radioiodinated GnRH agonist [D-Trp6, Pro9 (Net), DesGly10]-GnRH produced comparable results. In contrast, the injection of 125I-[D-pGlu1, D-Phe2, Trp3,6]-GnRH, an antagonist of GnRH, produced positive labeling only at the plasma membrane without internalization. These results indicate that, after binding with receptors on the plasma membrane, GnRH is rapidly internalized, accumulating in secretory granules, and localizing over the nuclear membrane and later, in the nucleus. Association of radioactivity with secretory granules could be related to a specific action of GnRH at this level or to receptor recycling, and presence of label in the nucleus may be related to stimulation of neosynthesis of LH and GnRH receptors.
