Regulation of dopamine D2 receptor expression in grass carp pituitary cells: A possible mechanism for dopaminergic modification of luteinizing hormone synthesis
چکیده انگلیسی

In many fishes, dopamine (DA) strongly inhibits luteinizing hormone (LH) release by direct action at the pituitary level. In this study, the effect of DA on LH synthesis was examined by detecting its β-subunit mRNA level in immature grass carp pituitary cells. Results showed that DA inhibited LHβ mRNA expression and its inhibition was antagonized by a DA D2 receptor (DRD2) antagonist, sulpiride, suggesting that DA inhibited LH synthesis via DRD2. This notion was further supported by the finding that the grass carp DRD2 (gcDRD2) immunoreactivity was observed in the proximal pars distalis of the pituitary in which gonadotrophs are distributed. Accordingly, a full-length cDNA for DRD2 was cloned from grass carp pituitary and it showed closer phylogenetic relationships to t
