Estradiol has inverse effects on pituitary glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit messenger ribonucleic acid in the immature European eel and the gonadectomized rat.

Abstract:

:In teleosts, the pituitary contains a single glycoprotein gonadotropic hormone (GTH) composed of two dissimilar alpha- and beta-subunits. The European eel, Anguilla anguilla L, is sexually immature at the silver stage due to a deficiency in GTH synthesis and secretion. In previous studies we (S.D., YA.F.) have demonstrated a strong stimulatory action of estradiol (E2) on eel pituitary GTH content. In contrast, we (R.C., M.J.) have shown that in the rat E2 negatively regulates gonadotropin subunit synthesis via changes in specific mRNA levels. The purpose of our present work was to check for such effects of E2 on the synthesis of GTH alpha- and beta-subunits in the European eel. Eel pituitary mRNA was translated in a cell-free system in the presence of [35S]Met + Cys. We demonstrate that one of the translated polypeptides, characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography, cross-reacts with an antiserum to denatured bovine alpha-subunit. Its apparent mol wt (18.5K), which is slightly higher than that of the corresponding rat alpha-precursor, suggests that it represents the precursor of the alpha-subunit of eel glycoprotein hormones. The specificity of immunoprecipitation was confirmed by competition with ovine alpha (but not with ovine LH beta or bovine TSH beta). Quantitative evaluation of the putative eel alpha-subunit precursor showed that it represents 0.2% of the total protein translated by RNA from the normal silver eel. Chronic treatment of eels for 3 weeks with 17 beta-E2 increased by 8.0- to 8.5-fold the proportion of the putative alpha-subunit precursor among translation products. Due to the lack of cross-reactivity with the presumed GTH beta precursor, no radioactive material could be specifically detected in translation medium of eel pituitary mRNA using antisera to either denatured bovine LH beta or ovine FSH beta. Our data suggest that E2, depending on vertebrate group and probably on sexual status, may exert either positive or negative control on gonadotropin synthesis by opposite effects on the levels of specific mRNA.
