Central peptidergic mechanisms controlling reproductive hormone secretion: novel methodology reveals a role for the natriuretic peptides.

Abstract:

:A variety of neural factors can influence reproductive hormone secretion by neuromodulatory actions within the hypothalamus or neuroendocrine actions within the anterior pituitary gland. Passive immunoneutralization and antagonist administration protocols have suggested physiological roles for a number of these factors; however, both experimental approaches have severe technical limitations. We have developed novel methodology utilizing cytotoxin cell targeting with neuropeptides linked to the toxic A chain of the plant cytotoxin ricin. With this methodology we can target and destroy in vivo or in vitro cells bearing receptors for that peptide. Ricin A chain conjugated to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a neuropeptide known to pharmacologically inhibit luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) release, was injected into the cerebroventricular system of intact, cycling rats and ovariectomized rats. Cytotoxin conjugate treatment significantly lengthened the estrous cycle. In ovariectomized rats the luteinizing hormone surge induced by steroid priming was completely inhibited. LHRH content of the median eminences of these rats was not significantly altered. These data suggest that ANP binding to clearance receptors in the hypothalamus displaces the C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) from the shared clearance receptor, making more CNP available to inhibit LHRH release. In the absence of cells bearing the clearance receptor all available CNP binds to the ANPR-B receptor and exerts its effect via an inhibitory interneuron, since LHRH fibers are spared by this treatment.
