Abstract:
:This study examined the effects of human chorionic gonadotropin, adrenocorticotropin, human luteinizing hormone, and mouse epidermal growth factor on growth (thymidine incorporation) and steroidogenesis (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate production) of human fetal zone adrenal cells in monolayer culture. Two preparations of human chorionic gonadotropin extracted from pregnancy urine were used, one highly purified (National Institutes of Health, CR-121) and one less pure (Sigma). Thymidine incorporation was increased twofold to tenfold in cultures exposed to the Sigma human chorionic gonadotropin preparation or to mouse epidermal growth factor as compared to control. Pure National Institutes of Health human chorionic gonadotropin and luteinizing hormone had no effect on growth. When adrenocorticotropin was added alone or in combination with Sigma human chorionic gonadotropin or mouse epidermal growth factor, growth was decreased. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate production was stimulated by adrenocorticotropin but not by human luteinizing hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, or mouse epidermal growth factor. These results suggest that human pregnancy urine contains a growth factor which remains to be identified but that pure human chorionic gonadotropin has no mitogenic or steroidogenic effects on the cultured fetal zone cells of the human fetal adrenal gland.
