Abstract

Human genetics indicate that kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB) signaling are necessary for generating pulsatile LH release and therefore for initiation of puberty and maintaining gonadal function. In the present study, male monkeys were employed to examine 1) whether activation of the NKB receptor (NK3R) is associated with GnRH release, and 2) hypothalamic localization of these peptides using immunofluorescence histochemistry. Agonadal juveniles, in which pituitary responsiveness to GnRH was heightened by GnRH priming, were employed to indirectly examine GnRH-releasing actions of NK3R and kisspeptin receptor agonists by tracking LH after their i.v. injection. Castrated adults were used for immunohistochemistry. Single i.v. injections of NKB or senktide (an NK3R agonist) elicited robust LH discharges that were abolished by GnRH receptor antagonism (acyline) confirming the ligands' hypothalamic action. Intermittent infusion of senktide (1-min pulse every hour for 4 h), in contrast to that of kisspeptin, failed to sustain pulsatile GnRH release. Repetitive senktide injections did not compromise the GnRH-releasing action of kisspeptin. NKB and kisspeptin were colocalized in perikarya of the arcuate nucleus and in axonal projections to the median eminence, confirming earlier findings in sheep. These results are consistent with the human genetics, and indicate that although brief activation of NK3R stimulates GnRH release, repetitive stimulation of this pathway, in contrast to that of kisspeptin receptor, fails to sustain pulsatile GnRH release. In addition, the data provide a platform for future elucidation of the interactions between NKB and kisspeptin that are required for generating pulsatile GnRH release in primates.

Although the effect of NKB on GnRH secretion depends on the hormonal context, administration of NKB has been shown to elicit strong stimulation of LH production mediated by GnRH in animal models.

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.
