Analysis of prolactin and growth hormone production in hyperplastic and neoplastic rat pituitary tissues by the hemolytic plaque assay.

Abstract:

:The reverse hemolytic plaque assay (RHPA) was used to detect hormone release from cultured normal, hyperplastic, and neoplastic rat pituitary cells. Hyperplastic pituitary cells were produced by s.c. diethylstilbestrol (DES) treatment (10 mg in Silastic tubes) for 3, 6, and 9 weeks. Neoplastic pituitary cells from rats with MtT/W15 transplantable tumors treated with DES for 3 weeks were also analyzed. Aliquots of the same cells were also analyzed by immunocytochemical staining. DES treatment resulted in an increase in prolactin (PRL)-producing cells in hyperplastic pituitaries compared to untreated pituitaries after 9 weeks of treatment by the RHPA [61.2 +/- 5.2 (SE) versus 32 +/- 3.0] and by immunocytochemical staining [70.9 +/- 2.4 versus 36 +/- 1.4]. The percentage of mammosomatotropic cells decreased from 11.3 +/- 3.8 to 4.2 +/- 2.6% in pituitary cells from these same groups of animals. After 3 weeks of DES treatment in rats with MtT/W15 tumor, there was an increase in growth hormone (GH)-producing cells and a decrease in PRL-producing cells when analyzed by the RHPA (control: percentage of GH, 36.3 +/- 6.2; percentage of PRL, 39.0 +/- 1.6 versus DES-treated tumors: percentage of GH of 68.2 +/- 1.9; and percentage of PRL, 3.2 +/- 1.8%). The percentage of mammosomatotropic cells declined from 12.4 +/- 2.3 to 0.77 +/- 2.4%. A combined procedure of RHPA followed by immunocytochemical staining on the same slides also revealed a decline in mammosomatotropic cells after chronic DES treatment in hyperplastic and neoplastic MtT/W15 tumor cells. These results show that DES has different effects on PRL and GH secretion and storage in hyperplastic pituitary and in the MtT/W15 pituitary tumor cells.
