China. [Ti] Title: Transcriptome analysis revealed the possible regulatory pathways initiating female geese broodiness within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. [So] Source: PLoS One;13(2):e0191213, 2018. [Is] ISSN: 1932-6203 [Cp] Country of publication: United States [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: Geese have the strongest tendency toward broodiness among all poultry. The mechanisms initiating broodiness within the goose hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA) are still unclear. Here, we reported the transcriptome differences between laying and initial nesting within the HPGA tissues of geese. We constructed a unigene database based on HPGA tissues and identified 128,148 unigenes, 100% of which have been annotated. By using Digital Gene Expression (DGE) sequencing, we screened 19, 110, 289, and 211 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, stroma ovarii, and follicles, respectively, between laying and nesting geese. Expression changes of hypocretin (HCRT) and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) in the hypothalamus of nesting geese may cause appetite reduction, which is possibly the first step and a prerequisite to initiate broodiness. In addition to prolactin (PRL), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), genes including oxytocin-neurophysin (OXT), chordin-like protein 1 (CHRDL1) and growth hormone (GH), expressed in the pituitary gland, are new candidate molecules that may be involved in broodiness in geese. Heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) in the pituitary gland, the proto-oncogene c-Fos (FOS), heat shock protein 90-alpha (HSP90AA), and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) in the ovary that may consolidate and transduce signals regulating the HPGA during broodiness in geese.

[Ti] Title: Dopamine D2-like receptors (DRD2 and DRD4) in chickens: Tissue distribution, functional analysis, and their involvement in dopamine inhibition of pituitary prolactin expression. [So] Source: Gene;651:33-43, 2018 Apr 20. [Is] ISSN: 1879-0038 [Cp] Country of publication: Netherlands [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: Dopamine (DA) D2-like (and D1-like) receptors are suggested to mediate the dopamine actions in the anterior pituitary and/or CNS of birds. However, the information regarding the structure, functionality, and expression of avian D2-like receptors have not been fully characterized. In this study, we cloned two D2-like receptors (cDRD2, cDRD4) from chicken brain using RACE PCR. The cloned cDRD4 is a 378-amino acid receptor, which shows 57% amino acid (a.a.) identity with mouse DRD4. As in mammals, two cDRD2 isoforms, cDRD2L (long isoform, 437 a.a.) and cDRD2S (short isoform, 408 a.a.), which differ in their third intracellular loop, were identified in chickens. Using cell-based luciferase reporter assays or Western blot, we demonstrated that cDRD4, cDRD2L and cDRD2S could be activated by dopamine and quinpirole (a D2-like receptor agonist) dose-dependently, and their activation inhibits cAMP signaling pathway and stimulates MAPK/ERK signaling cascade, indicating that they are functional receptors capable of mediating dopamine actions. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed that cDRD2 and cDRD4 are widely expressed in chicken tissues with abundant expression noted in anterior pituitary, and their expressions are likely controlled by their promoters near exon 1, as demonstrated by dual-luciferase reporter assays in DF-1 cells. In accordance with cDRD2/cDRD4 expression in the pituitary, DA or quinpirole could partially inhibit vasoactive intestinal peptide-induced prolactin expression in cultured chick pituitary cells. Together, our data proves the functionality of DRD2 and DRD4 in birds and aids to uncover the conserved roles of DA/D2-like receptor system in vertebrates, such as its action on the pituitary.

[Ti] Title: Profiles of pro-opiomelanocortin and encoded peptides, and their processing enzymes in equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction. [So] Source: PLoS One;13(1):e0190796, 2018. [Is] ISSN: 1932-6203 [Cp] Country of publication: United States [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: Equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is characterized by hyperplasia of the pars intermedia (PI) melanotrophs of the pituitary gland (PG), and increased production of proopiomelanocortin (POMC). POMC is cleaved by prohormone convertase 1 (PC1) to produce adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and further processing of ACTH by PC2 to produce alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and corticotropin-like intermediate peptide (CLIP). High plasma ACTH concentrations in horses with PPID might be related to reduced conversion of ACTH to α-MSH by PCs. The hypothesis of this study was that PC1 and PC2 expression in the pituitary gland are altered in PPID, resulting in an abnormal relative abundance of POMC derived proteins. The objectives of this study were to identify the partial sequences of equine POMC, PC1, and PC2 mRNAs; and to determine whether the expression of POMC, PC1, and PC2 mRNAs in whole pituitary extracts, and POMC-protein in the cavernous sinus blood of horses are altered in PPID. We confirmed (RT-PCR and sequencing) that the partial sequences obtained match the corresponding regions of predicted equine POMC, PC1 and PC2 sequences. The expression (quantification by RT-qPCR) of POMC, PC1 and PC2 mRNAs were found upregulated in the pituitary of horses with PPID. Plasma (measured using RIA/ELISA) ACTH and α-MSH were elevated in PPID horses. These results indicate distinct differences in gene and protein expression of POMC and its intermediates, and processing enzymes in PPID. It provides evidence to support the notion that local, pituitary-specific inadequacies in prohormone processing likely contribute to equine PPID.

[Ti] Title: Effects of triclosan (TCS) on hormonal balance and genes of hypothalamus-pituitary- gonad axis of juvenile male Yellow River carp (Cyprinus carpio). [So] Source: Chemosphere;193:695-701, 2018 Feb. [Is] ISSN: 1879-1298 [Cp] Country of publication: England [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: Triclosan (TCS) is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent which has been widely dispersed and determinated in the aquatic environment. However, the effects of TCS on reproductive endocrine in male fish are poorly understood. In this study, male Yellow River carp (Cyprinus carpio) were exposed to 0, 1/5, 1/10 and 1/20 LC (96 h LC of TCS to carp) TCS under semi-static conditions for 42 d. Vitellogenin (Vtg), 17ß-estradiol (E ), testosterone(T), gonadotropin (GtH), and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Meanwhile, we also examined the mRNA expressions of aromatase, GtHs-ß, GnRH, estrogen receptor (Er), and androgen receptor (Ar) by quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). TCS induced Vtg levels of hepatopancreas, E levels of serum, and inhibited Ar and Er mRNA levels, suggesting that the induction of Vtg production by TCS was indirectly caused by non-Er pathways. TCS-induced Vtg levels by interfering with the reproductive axis at plenty of latent loci of male carps: (a) TCS exposure increased the aromatase mRNA expression of hypothalamus and gonad aromatase, consequently increasing serum concentrations of E to induce Vtg in hepatopancreas; (b) TCS treatment changed GtH-ß and GnRH mRNA expression and secretion, causing the disturbance of reproductive endocrine; (c) TCS exposure decreased Ar mRNA levels, indicating potential Ar-mediated antiandrogen action. These mechanisms showed that TCS may induce Vtg production in male carp by non-Er-mediated pathways.

[Ti] Title: Evolution of sinonasal symptoms and mucosal healing after minimally invasive pituitary surgery. [So] Source: Am J Rhinol Allergy;31(2):117-121, 2017 Mar 01. [Is] ISSN: 1945-8932 [Cp] Country of publication: United States [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive pituitary surgery (MIPS) via endoscopy has become widely accepted as the surgical paradigm of choice for pituitary pathology. The objective of the current study was to analyze the evolution of symptom scores and mucosal healing after MIPS. METHODS: The 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores and objective endoscopic data of 52 patients were reviewed in a longitudinal manner. Scaled averages of the SNOT-22 and endoscopic scores from different time points were compared with baseline scores by using nonparametric testing. The time to baseline for endoscopic examinations was also analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS: The rhinologic symptoms subdomain of the SNOT-22 scores showed statistically significant worsening between baseline and 2 weeks after surgery (p = 0.03). Follow-up SNOT-22 scores after 2 weeks showed no significant differences compared with baseline scores, with an overall trend toward improvement in patient symptoms during the subsequent period. Similar analysis for the endoscopic data illustrated statistically significant differences from the baseline scores up to 16 weeks after surgery. The overall trend showed a worsened endoscopic examination, initially with a spike at ∼8 to 10 weeks (p = 0.03) and with a subsequent return to baseline. The Kaplan-Meier estimate curve demonstrated a median time to return to baseline endoscopy at 18.9 weeks (95% confidence interval, 14.9-38.3 weeks). CONCLUSION: The longitudinal data exhibited subjective improvement of patient outcomes based on SNOT-22 scores within 2-4 weeks after MIPS. However, the objective endoscopic data revealed a lag in improvement of the examination, typically at 16-20 weeks, which underscores ongoing careful endoscopic assessment and management to ensure proper mucosal healing beyond just subjective symptoms as the gauge to postoperative recovery.

[Is] ISSN: 0578-1426 [Cp] Country of publication: China [La] Language: chi [Ab] Abstract: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and etiologies of central diabetes insipidus (CDI). The clinical data of 230 patients with CDI in the Department of Endocrinology of Chinese PLA General Hospital from 2008 June to 2014 December were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The three most common causes of CDI were idiopathic CDI, lymphocytic hypophysitis and intracranial germ cell tumors. Among all the CDI, the idiopathic CDI accounted for 37.48%. There were significant differences in age onset and gender distribution among the different causes of CDI. The patients with intracranial germ cell tumors [age of onset(19.2±10.2) years] were younger than the other types of CDI. Germ cell tumors patients were more common in male, and lymphocytic hypophysitis patients were more common in female. The most frequent abnormality of anterior pituitary in patients with CDI was growth hormone deficiency, followed by hypogonadism, adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism. The dysfunction of thyroid axis and adrenal axis in patients with germ cell tumor was more common than those in patients with idiopathic and lymphocytic hypophysitis. The most common causes of central diabetes insipidus were idiopathic CDI, lymphocytic hypophysitis and intracranial germ cell tumors. There were differences in age of onset, gender distribution and abnormal production of anterior pituitary hormones among all causes of CDI patients.

[Ti] Title: Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis of the rat. [So] Source: Mol Med Rep;17(4):6163-6173, 2018 Apr. [Is] ISSN: 1791-3004 [Cp] Country of publication: Greece [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt), also termed visfatin, catalyses the rate­limiting step in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) salvage pathway. In addition to its intracellular function (iNampt), extracellular Nampt (eNampt) also affects numerous intracellular signalling pathways. The current study investigated the role of Nampt in the regulation of the hypothalamic­pituitary­adrenal (HPA) axis in rats. At 1 h after intraperitoneal administration of eNampt (4 µg/100 g) in adult male rats, serum adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH) and aldosterone levels remained unchanged, while corticosterone levels were notably elevated compared with the control group, as determined by ELISA. The results of reverse transcription­quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT­qPCR) demonstrated that, in the hypothalami of eNampt­treated rats, the mRNA expression levels of Fos proto­oncogene, which is also termed c­Fos, were not significantly different compared with the control group; however, the mRNA expression levels of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) were markedly increased in the pituitary gland of eNampt­treated rats compared with the control group. Furthermore, in hypothalamic explants, ELISA results demonstrated that the addition of the eNampt protein exhibited no effect on corticotropin­releasing hormone (CRH) release into the incubation medium and prevented potassium ion­induced CRH release. Additionally, the eNampt­induced increase in ACTH output by pituitary gland explants was not statistically significant, compared with the control group. However, RT­qPCR indicated that exposure of pituitary gland explants to eNampt and CRH increased the levels of POMC mRNA expression; the effect of eNampt, but not CRH, was inhibited by FK866, which is a specific Nampt inhibitor. In primary rat adrenocortical cell cultures, eNampt exhibited no effect on basal aldosterone or corticosterone secretion, while increases in aldosterone and corticosterone levels in response to ACTH were retained. To assess the potential role of iNampt in the regulation of adrenal steroidogenesis, experiments involving a specific Nampt inhibitor, FK866, were performed. Exposure of cultured cells to FK866 notably lowered basal aldosterone and corticosterone output compared with the control group, and completely eliminated the response of cultured cells to ACTH. The results of the present study indicated that the injected eNampt may have increased the corticosterone serum levels by acting at the pituitary level. In addition, iNampt may exert a tonic stimulating effect on the secretion of aldosterone and corticosterone from rat adrenocortical cells, as normal iNampt levels were required to retain the response of cultured rat adrenocortical cells to ACTH. Thus, these data suggest an important physiological role of both iNampt and eNampt in the regulation of the HPA axis activity in the rat.

[Ti] Title: Critical role of rabphilin-3A in the pathophysiology of experimental lymphocytic neurohypophysitis. [So] Source: J Pathol;, 2018 Jan 29. [Is] ISSN: 1096-9896 [Cp] Country of publication: England [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: Autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) is thought to be an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the pituitary gland. Among AH pathologies, lymphocytic infundibulo-neurohypophysitis (LINH) involves infiltration of the neurohypophysis and/or the hypothalamic infundibulum, causing central diabetes insipidus resulting from insufficiency of arginine vasopressin secretion. The pathophysiological and pathogenetic mechanisms underlying LINH are largely unknown. Clinically, differentiating LINH from other pituitary diseases accompanied by mass lesions, including tumours, has often been difficult, because of similar clinical manifestations. We recently reported that rabphilin-3A is an autoantigen and that anti-rabphilin-3A antibodies constitute a possible diagnostic marker for LINH. However, the involvement of rabphilin-3A in the pathogenesis of LINH remains to be elucidated. This study was undertaken to explore the role of rabphilin-3A in lymphocytic neurohypophysitis and to investigate the mechanism. We found that immunization of mice with rabphilin-3A led to neurohypophysitis. Lymphocytic infiltration was observed in the neurohypophysis and supraoptic nucleus 1 month after the first immunization. Mice immunized with rabphilin-3A showed an increase in the volume of urine that was hypotonic as compared with control mice. Administration of a cocktail of monoclonal anti-rabphilin-3A antibodies did not induce neurohypophysitis. However, abatacept, which is a chimeric protein that suppresses T-cell activation, decreased the number of T cells specific for rabphilin-3A in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). It ameliorated lymphocytic infiltration of CD3 T cells in the neurohypophysis of mice that had been immunized with rabphilin-3A. Additionally, there was a linear association between the number of T cells specific for rabphilin-3A in PBMCs and the number of CD3 T cells infiltrating the neurohypophysis. In conclusion, we suggest that rabphilin-3A is a pathogenic antigen, and that T cells specific for rabphilin-3A are involved in the pathogenesis of neurohypophysitis in mice.

[Ti] Title: trans-Resveratrol ameliorates anxiety-like behaviors and fear memory deficits in a rat model of post-traumatic stress disorder. [So] Source: Neuropharmacology;133:181-188, 2018 Jan 31. [Is] ISSN: 1873-7064 [Cp] Country of publication: England [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: trans-Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol enriched in grape seed and skin, has been extensively investigated for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-psychiatric properties. The present study examined the effects of trans-resveratrol on ameliorating anxiety-like behaviors and fear memory deficits induced by time-dependent sensitization (TDS) procedure, which is a classical animal model for mimicking posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The results suggested that trans-resveratrol at doses of 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg (via gavage, i.g.) reversed TDS-induced decreases in the percentage of time spent in the center of arena, the open arm entries and time spent in the open arms in the open field and elevated plus maze tests. It also decreased the percentage of freezing time in the contextual fear paradigm that was increased in TDS treated rats. Further study suggested that TDS-induced abnormality in the limbic hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland (L-HPA) axis was reversed by trans-resveratrol, i.e. it reversed increased adrenal gland index and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) levels, and rescued the differential expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the hypothalamus, hippocampus and amygdala. Neurobiological studies suggested that trans-resveratrol increased phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding protein (pCREB) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, which were decreased in rats subjected to TDS. These results provide compelling evidence that trans-resveratrol protects neurons against PTSD-like stress insults by regulation of L-HPA axis function and activation of downstream neuroprotective molecules, such as pCREB and BDNF expression.

[Ti] Title: Prediction of pituitary stalk position in pituitary adenomas by visualization of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract using diffusion tensor imaging tractography. [So] Source: Medicine (Baltimore);97(10):e0052, 2018 Mar. [Is] ISSN: 1536-5964 [Cp] Country of publication: United States [La] Language: eng [Ab] Abstract: The preservation of pituitary stalk during surgery is very important for neurosurgeons. Sometimes, it is hard to identify the pituitary stalk in the operation. The hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract (HHT) projects through the pituitary stalk to the posterior pituitary gland. If the HHT can be identified, the position of pituitary stalk will be visualized. The diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) fiber tracking technique has been widely used for the quantitative assessment of the white matter integrity and thus may be suitable for the evaluation of the HHT.DTI was used to track the HHT in 11 patients with pituitary adenoma, and the location of the tract was compared with the pituitary stalk of postoperative image in those patients.The fiber tracking and 3D visualization of the HHT were successfully carried out in all 11 patients. Comparison between the tract and pituitary stalk of postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was carried out in 9 patients. The results revealed that the position of tract was consistent with the pituitary stalk of postoperative MRI image in 8 patients (88.9%). The properties of tract showed that the median number of tract was 5.18 ±â€Š7.00, the median fractional anisotropy (FA) was 0.14 ±â€Š0.04, and the median length was 28.81 ±â€Š7.94 mm.HHT can be tracked and visualized with the DTI-FT technique. It will be helpful to identify the location of pituitary stalk preoperatively.
