介绍效果更好的鱼类催产合剂——高效鱼类催产合剂2号和3号

鱼类促性腺激素(GtH)的分泌和生殖活动已经证明为双重的神经内分泌系统所调节，即促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)刺激GtH分泌和多巴胺作为促性腺激素释放的抑制因素(GRIF)抑制GnRH的作用以及GtH的自行释放。我们先前对养殖鱼类的研究已证明多巴胺受体的拮抗物(如pimozide，PIM)，排除剂(如reserpine，RES)和多巴胺合成抑制剂都能显著增强LRH-A诱导GtH分泌和排卵的作用。

养殖鱼类生殖内分泌调控相关功能基因的研究和应用

新型的神经内分泌因子kisspeptin与GnIH(gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone)对哺乳动物的生殖轴起着直接而相反的调控作用,kisspeptin刺激脑垂体促性腺激素(GtH,gonadotropin)的合成与释放,而GnIH抑制GtH的合成与释放。然而,在鱼类中,相关研究甚少。本研究室利用比较基因组学技术,通过同线性分析结合分子生物学手段,在斑马鱼(Danio rerio)、金鱼(Carassius auratus)中克隆得到了kisspeptin(kiss1、kiss2)与GnIH以及它们相关受体的基因cDNA序列。氨基酸序列同源比对结果显示:在脊椎动物中,kisspeptin的核心肽相对保守,而GnIH的核心肽在不同物种中则有较大的差异。比较基因组分析显示kisspeptin与GnIH基因在鱼类、两栖类、鸟类和哺乳类都维持着保守的同线性结构;并且,同线性的结果表明,鱼类kiss1与kiss2基因来源于早期的基因组复制,在漫长的进化过程中,哺乳类丢失了kiss2基因。通过配体受体结合实验,证明2种kisspeptins均能激活其相关受体GPR54(GPR54a、GPR54b),启动下游通路,但却存在一定的配体-受体选择性差异。金鱼、斑马鱼组织表达模式研究显示:kisspeptins与GnIH以及它们相关受体在生殖相关组织或区域(下丘脑、垂体、性腺)均有丰富的表达,提示kisspeptins与GnIH可能参与鱼类的生殖调控。通过化学合成金鱼kisspeptins与GnIH的核心肽,在体注射成熟的雌性金鱼,发现kiss1能显著刺激金鱼LH的分泌,并且能诱导金鱼排卵,而kiss2不能;在高剂量的状况下,GnIH亦能有效抑制金鱼LH的分泌。然而,在离体实验中,2种kisspeptin与GnIH对金鱼垂体细胞LH的分泌均没有显著的影响,提示kisspeptins与GnIH对金鱼的LH调控可能发生于下丘脑水平。以上结果表明:与哺乳动物相类似,在鱼类生殖轴中也存在kisspeptins与GnIH的正负调控系统。本文侧重对这项研究以及相关的研究成果进行归纳与分析,旨为深入探讨鱼类生殖内分泌调控相关功能基因提供参考。

促黄体素释放激素和多巴胺拮抗物对鲇促性腺激素释放的作用

以珠江流域鲇为研究对象，分别在性腺发育早期、性腺发育晚期、性腺发育成熟与产卵前期、性腺退化期注射促黄体素释放激素类似物和多巴胺D2受体拮抗物，处理后6h、12h、24h测定血液中的促性腺激素水平变化。结果表明，在性腺发育的各个时期，促黄体素释放激素类似物和多巴胺D2受体拮抗物联合注射能显著剂激鲇促性腺激素分泌；鲇脑垂体促性腺激素的分泌受下丘脑释放的促性腺素释放激素和多巴胺的双重调节，多巴胺只能抑制促性腺素释放激素诱导的促性腺激素分泌。在建立鲇人工繁殖技术时，可采用促黄体素释放激素类似物和多巴胺D2受体拮抗物联合注射方法。     

Induction of ovulation in the loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) using pimozide and [D-Ala6, Pro9-N-ethylamide]-LHRH

The effects of intraperitoneal injections of [D-Ala⁶, Pro⁹-N-ethylaminde]-luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH-A) and pimozide (PIM), a dopamine receptor antagonist, on ovulation in loach were investigated. LHRH-A and PIM administered separately were ineffective in inducing ovulation. However, injections of PIM and LHRH-A simultaneously or the injection of PIM 2.5–3 h prior to LHRH-A were highly effective means of inducing ovulation. The simultaneous injection of PIM (1.0 μg/g body wt) and LHRH-A (0.05 μg/g body wt) resulted in a greater ovulatory response than injection of carp pituitary extract (1 pituitary/fish).     

Studies on the mode of action of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on maturational gonadotropin (GtH) secretion from perifused rainbow trout pituitary glands

The action of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and gonadotropin releasing hormone (s-GnRH) have been compared on the release of gonadotropin (GtH) by perifused rainbow trout pituitary glands sampled from freshly ovulated female rainbow trout. We have already demonstrated that NPY stimulated the secretion of GtH in vitro. The pituitary responses to s-GnRH and NPY were similar either after repeated 10 min infusions or a one hour prolonged application. In both cases, after the first application, the pituitary did not responded to subsequent secretagogues stimulations, and appeared to be desensitized. The stimulatory action of s-GnRH was partly inhibited (60%) by LH-RH antagonist (DpGlu¹, DPhe², DTrp^3–6) LH-RH, which completely inhibited the response to NPY in perifused pituitary glands sampled from freshly ovulated females, but did not modify the response of pituitaries taken from vitellogenic animals in which NPY induced a transient inhibition of the GtH secretion. These results may indicate that the mode of action of NPY would differ between vitellogenic and matured animals. NPY also stimulated the GtH secretion from perifused pituitary dispersed cells prepared from pituitaries taken from freshly ovulated rainbow trout, indicating that NPY may act directly on the pituitary gonadotropic cells to stimulate GtH secretion.     

Close association of gonadotropin-releasing hormone fibers and gonadotropin, growth hormone, somatolactin and prolactin expressing cells in pejerrey, Odontesthes bonariensis

The purpose of this study was to determine if there is any association between immunoreactive (ir) gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) fibers with different pituitary endocrine cell types in the pejerrey, Odontesthes bonariensis. Using a monoclonal antibody raised against mammalian GnRH (mGnRH) (LRH13), ir-GnRH fibers were observed passing through the pituitary stalk and reaching the three areas of the pituitary gland: rostral (RPD) and proximal pars distalis (PPD) and pars intermedia (PI). Double labeled immunocytochemistry showed ir-GnRH fibers in close association with prolactin (PRL)-producing cells in the RPD, growth hormone (GH)-producing cells in the PPD, gonadotropin (GtH)-producing cells in the PPD and the external border of the PI, and with somatolactin (SL)-producing cells in the PI. Our results show, direct morphological evidences of a close association of GnRH fibers with GH, PRL, GtH and SL-expressing cells. These results would suggest that GnRH has a broad role in the regulation of the secretion of different pituitary hormones.     

中华鲟、史氏鲟及达氏鳇血清免疫球蛋白的纯化及部分特性分析

采用饱和硫酸氨分步沉淀和Sephadex G200凝胶层析的方法，首次分别纯化制备了健康非免疫状态下中华鲟（Acipenser sinensis）、史氏鲟（Acipenser schrenckii）和达氏鳇（Huso dauricus）的血清免疫球蛋白（Ig） ，并采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（PAGE）、SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（SDSPAGE）、蛋白免 疫印迹（Western blotting）及免疫琼扩实验等方法对其Ig及Ig亚单位的分子量和部分特性进行了分析。PAGE及SDSPAGE的结果显示：史氏鲟，中华鲟和达氏鳇IgM的相对分子量分别为867 kD， 896 kD和924 kD；3种鲟鱼Ig的重链分子量均为88 kD，都具有29 kD的轻链，其中达氏鳇还另有一分子量约为26 kD的轻链蛋白。分子量的测定及计算结果显示鲟鱼的Ig为四聚体。Western-blotting的检测结果表明，3种鲟鱼Ig的重链与其Ig具有同样的抗原性，在硝酸纤维素膜上可被兔抗鲟Ig多克隆抗体所识别，而轻链的Western blotting检测结果则呈阴性。免疫沉淀反应的结果显示，3种鲟鱼的血清及其Ig与相互之间的兔抗Ig血清有免疫沉淀反应，但与兔抗鲤Ig血清无免疫沉淀反应，这表明3种鲟科鱼类的Ig在结构和序列上是较为相似的，而与鲤鱼等高等硬骨鱼类的Ig存在较大的差别。

Effects of (D-Ala6, Pro9N ethylamide) — LHRH on plasma levels of gonadotropin, 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one and testosterone in male goldeye (hiodon alosoides Rafineque)

Male goldeye were treated with (D-Ala⁶, Pro⁹-N ethylamide) — LHRH (LHRH-A) in saline or a silastic pellet (100 µg.kg^–1 body weight) and changes in plasma gonadotropin (GtH), 17,20-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17,20P) and testosterone (T) levels were determined by radioimmunoassay. LHRH-A increased plasma GtH levels, with the response to LHRH-A in saline being of much greater magnitude and duration than the response to silastic pellet implants. Seasonal differences were found in the response to LHRH-A. Spermiated fish were the most responsive, recrudescing fish the least, and regressed fish displayed an intermediate response. Plasma 17,20P levels were elevated in response to LHRHA in fish of all sexual stages although the magnitude of the increase was not related to the magnitude of the increase in GtH levels. Treatment with LHRH-A also resulted in a transitory increase in plasma T levels. The endocrine control of GtH and steroid secretion in goldeye is discussed in relation to studies in cyprinids and salmonids.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) modulatesin vitro gonadotropin in release from rainbow trout pituitary glands

This work investigated the action of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on thein vitro pituitary release of the maturing gonadotropic hormone (GtH) of the rainbow trout using a perifusion system employing trout balanced salt solution (pH 7.5) at 15°C and a 12.5 ml/h flow rate. In vitellogenic females a 20 minutes NPY application (10⁻⁷ M) induced a 20–30% decrease in GtH secretion. Removal of NPY was followed by a rebound in GTH secretion. On the contrary, in ovulated females, NPY (15 minutes, 10⁻⁷ M) directly stimulated GTH secretion. The greatest stimulation was obtained the day of ovulation where the stimulatory effect of NPY was similar to those induced by s.GnRH in the same conditions, reaching 400% of the basal GTH level. In vitellogenic females treated with 1-4-6 androstadien 3–7 dione, an inhibitor of aromatase activity, the pituitary response to NPY was similar to that obtained in ovulated females. Thus thein vitro action of NPY might depend on thein vivo steroidogenic environment.     

Involvement of protein kinase C in the modulation of gonadotropin and growth hormone secretion from dispersed goldfish pituitary cells

It has been established that secretion of gonadotropin (GtH) and growth hormone (GH) release in goldfish are both stimulated by GtH-releasing hormone (GnRH); in addition GtH secretion is inhibited by dopamine D₂ mechanisms. In the present study, depletion of protein kinase C (PKC) in goldfish pituitary cells reduced the GtH and GH responses to GnRH and an activator of PKC in static culture. In perifusion studies, GtH released in response to sGnRH analog was greatly attenuated in PKC-depleted cells, however, hormone responses to forskolin were enhanced. Stimulation of dopamine D₂ receptors reduced the GtH, but not the GH, responses elicited by PKC activators. These results indicate that PKC participates in the GtH and GH responses to natural neuroendocrine regulators in the goldfish.

Résumé Il a été établi que chez le poisson rouge, les sécrétions de gonadotropine (GtH) et d'hormone de croissance (GH) sont toutes les deux stimulées par la gonadolibérine (GnRH); de plus, la sécrétion de GtH est inhibée par des mécanismes dopaminergiques de type D₂. Dans le présent travail, la déplétion de la teneur en protéine kinase C (PKC) dans des cellules hypophysaires de poisson rouge réduit les résponses en GtH et GH au GnRH et à un activateur de la PKC de cellules maintenues en incubation statique. Dans des cellules maintenues en périfusion et soumises à une déplétion en PKC, la GtH libérée en réponse à un analogue du sGnRH est fortement diminuée, cependent les réponses hormonales à la forskoline sont augmentées. La stimulation des récepteurs dopaminergiques D₂ réduit, dans le cas d'action d'activateur de la PKC, la réponse en GtH mais pas en GH. Ces résultats indiquent que la PKC est impliquée dans les mécanismes de régulation de GtH et GH par des facteurs neuroendocriniens naturels.
