Influences of hypothyroidism on TRH concentrations and preproTRH mRNA levels in rat hypothalamus: a simple and reliable method to detect preproTRH mRNA level.

Abstract:

:To gain further insight into the regulation of hypothalamic TRH by thyroid hormones, we measured TRH concentration in specific hypothalamic nuclei and preproTRH mRNA levels in the anterior hypothalamus. Adult male rats were decapitated 1, 7, 14 days after thyroidectomy. Micropunches by the method of Palkovitz from seven hypothalamic nuclei and median eminence were used for measurement of TRH by radioimmunoassay. As compared with normal levels, TRH concentration significantly decreased in the median eminence and five hypothalamic nuclei including paraventricular nucleus (PVN), posterior nucleus, anterior nucleus, arcuate nucleus, and ventromedial nucleus pars lateralis, by 7 days after thyroidectomy. No significant changes were observed in dorsomedial nucleus or ventromedial nucleus pars medialis until 14 days after thyroidectomy. A rapid and simple method to detect specific mRNA for preproTRH was developed using the polymerase chain reaction and a single anterior hypothalamic section. PreproTRH mRNA levels in the anterior hypothalamus increased approximately twice 7 days after thyroidectomy. These data indicate that thyroidectomy caused a marked increase in preproTRH mRNA levels of the anterior hypothalamus, while it significantly reduced TRH concentrations not only in PVN and median eminence but also in other specific hypothalamic nuclei, suggesting that these nuclei might be involved in the thyrotropin regulation in the hypothalamus.

  • Transient receptor potential channel TRPM8 agonists stimulate calcium influx and neurotensin secretion in neuroendocrine tumor cells.

    abstract::TRPM8 is a member of the melastatin-type transient receptor potential ion channel family. Activation by cold or by agonists (menthol, icilin) induces a transient rise in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)).
