Prolactin Regulation of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons to Suppress Luteinizing Hormone Secretion in Mice
Abstract
Hyperprolactinemia causes infertility, but the mechanisms involved are not known. The present study aimed to determine whether and how prolactin may influence LH secretion in the adult female mouse. Using ovariectomized, estrogen-treated (OVX+E) mice, we found that 7 d of intracerebroventricular prolactin potently suppressed serum LH levels (P < 0.05). To examine whether this central action of prolactin may involve the GnRH neurons, the effects of acute and chronic prolactin on cAMP response element-binding protein phosphorylation (pCREB) in GnRH neurons were examined using dual-label immunocytochemistry. In diestrous and OVX+E mice, a single sc injection of ovine prolactin resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) doubling of the number of GnRH neurons expressing pCREB. OVX+E mice treated with five injections of ovine prolactin over 48 h showed a 4-fold increase in the number of GnRH neurons with pCREB. To determine whether GnRH neurons might be regulated directly by prolactin, we examined prolactin receptor (PRL-R) mRNA expression in green fluorescent protein-tagged GnRH neurons by single-cell RT-PCR. As a positive control, PRL-R mRNA was measured in arcuate dopaminergic neurons obtained from green fluorescent protein-tagged tyrosine hydroxylase neurons. Three of 23 GnRH neurons (13%) were identified to express PRL-R transcripts, whereas nine of 11 arcuate dopaminergic neurons (82%) were found to coexpress PRL-R mRNA. These data demonstrate that prolactin suppresses LH levels in the mouse, as it does in other species, and indicate that it acts centrally to regulate intracellular signaling within GnRH neurons. This is likely to occur, at least in part, through the direct regulation of a subpopulation of GnRH neurons.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
