摘要
1. Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), synthesized in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), is released in response to physiological stimuli through median eminence nerve terminals to control thyrotropin or prolactin secretion from the pituitary. 2. Several events participate in the metabolism of this neuropeptide: regulation of TRH biosynthesis and release as well as modulation of its inactivation by the target cell. 3. Upon a physiological stimulus such as cold stress or suckling, TRH is released and levels of TRH mRNA increase in a fast ard transient manner in the PVN; a concomitant increase in cfos is observed only with cold exposure. 4. Hypothalamic cell cultures incubated with cAMP or phorbol esters show a rise in TRH mRNA levels; dexamethasone produces a further increase at short incubation times. TRH mRNA are thus controlled by transsynaptic and hormonal influences. 5. Once TRH is released, it is inactivated by a narrow specificity ectoenzyme, pyroglutamyl peptidase II (PPII). 6. In adenohypophysis, PPII is subject to stringent control: positive by thyroid hormones and negative by TRH; other hypothalamic factors such as dopamine and somatostatin also influence its activity. 7. These combined approaches suggest that TRH action is modulated in a coordinate fashion.
