Primary monolayer cultures of anterior or intermediate lobe (IL) cells from rat pituitaries were grown in microtiter plates, and the test substances were added after 5 days. The hormones were measured by RIAs for rat prolactin, -MSH, ACTH and beta-endorphin/beta-LPH. The dopamine (DA) inhibition of prolactin secretion was attenuated by addition of equimolar (10(-7), 10(-6)M) concentration of beta-endorphin. Furthermore, the DA effect was blocked, when the beta-endorphin-release of anterior pituitary cells was stimulated by vasopressin. In contrast, the DA induced inhibition of hormone-release of IL-cells (e.g. -MSH, ACTH and beta-endorphin) was not influenced by addition of opioids. Our results indicate, that under certain conditions (e.g. stress) the stimulated secretion of prolactin could be mediated partially by a direct action of pituitary beta-endorphin at the lactotroph. On the other hand, we found no indication for a modulation of the dopamine-induced inhibition of IL-peptides by opioids.
将大鼠垂体前叶或中间叶(IL)细胞进行原代单层培养,接种于微量滴定板中,5天后加入受试物质。采用放射免疫分析法(RIAs)测定大鼠催乳素、促黑素(-MSH)、促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)和β-内啡肽/β-促脂素。加入等摩尔浓度(10⁻⁷、10⁻⁶M)的β-内啡肽可减弱多巴胺(DA)对催乳素分泌的抑制作用。此外,当血管加压素刺激垂体前叶细胞释放β-内啡肽时,DA的作用被阻断。相反,添加阿片类物质并不影响DA诱导的IL细胞激素释放抑制作用(如促黑素、促肾上腺皮质激素和β-内啡肽)。我们的结果表明,在某些条件下(如应激),催乳素的刺激分泌可能部分由垂体β-内啡肽对催乳细胞的直接作用介导。另一方面,我们没有发现阿片类物质对多巴胺诱导的IL肽抑制作用有调节作用的迹象。
