This work was to investigate whether melatonin (MEL) plays a role in the gene expression of prolactin (PRL), by the Method of in situ hybridyzation.
Our results indicated that, at a higher concentration, MEL not only inhibits TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone) stimulating PRL gene expression of anterior pituitary cell in newborn rat, but also exerts a direct inhibitory effect on PRL gene expression in vitro.
These results suggest that MEL may be a regulator of PRL synthesis and secreting in vivo.
本研究旨在通过原位杂交法探讨褪黑素(MEL)是否在催乳素(PRL)基因表达中发挥作用。
我们的结果表明,在较高浓度下,MEL不仅抑制促甲状腺激素释放激素(TRH)刺激新生大鼠垂体前叶细胞的PRL基因表达,而且在体外对PRL基因表达也有直接抑制作用。
这些结果表明,MEL可能是体内PRL合成和分泌的调节因子。
