Hormonal messenger molecules are released from specific cells into the general circulation to reach distant target cells. However, the molecules can also be released to influence the function of neighboring cells as paracrine or autocrine system.In the bullfrog pituitary, PRL cells frequently located in contact with gonadotropin cells. It was found that PRL enhances the responsiveness of LH cells to GnRH in vitro. The responsiveness to GnRH became less conspicuous as the cell density was reduced. Addition of PRL to the medium enhanced the responsiveness to the secretagogue, and addition of antiserum against PRL lowered the responsiveness to a certain extent. Secondly, experiments were performed to study the effect of free alpha-subunit of glycoprotein hormones existing in the secretory granules of PRL.It was found that addition of alpha-subunit into the culture medium enhanced the release of PRL.On the other hand, we have found that a considerable number of cells exhibited secretion of … More both PRL and GH when the pituitaries were dispersed and cultured. This suggested that either transcription or translation of PRL and/or GH had been blocked until the cells were dispersed and cultured. Cycloheximide blocked the appearance of such cells. These findings indicated that the cells secreting both PRL and GH after dispersal and culture possessed the mRNAs for these hormones before they were transferred to an in vitro system. In addition, several of the PRL-immunoreactive cells possesses GHmRNA.Prolactin mRNA was also expressed in several of the GH immunoreactive cells.In conclusion, paracrine and autocrine regulation of pituitary cell function in amphibians were elucidated : (1) PRL acts directly on gonadotrophs to enhance their responsiveness to GnRH in a paracrine fashion. (2) Both translation of PRL mRNA in GH cells and translation of GH mRNA in PRL cells are triggered by cell dispersion and/or culture, suggesting the presence of paracrine factors that inhibit the translation of PRLmRNA in GH cells and of GHmRNA in PRL cells. (3) Alpha-subunit secreted by PRL cells acts as an autocrine and/or paracrine factor to enhance the release of PRL. Less

荷尔蒙信使分子从特定细胞释放到一般循环中，以达到遥远的靶细胞。然而，分子也可以释放以影响邻近细胞作为旁分线或自分泌系统的功能。在牛蛙垂体中，PRL细胞经常与促性腺激素细胞接触。发现PRL在体外增强了LH细胞对GNRH的反应性。随着细胞密度降低，对GNRH的响应变得不太明显。 PRL对培养基的额外功能增强了对秘密的响应能力，而对PRL的抗血清则在一定程度上降低了响应能力。 Secondly, experiments were performed to study the effect of free alpha-subunit of glycoprotein hormones existing in the secretory granules of PRL.It was found that addition of alpha-subunit into the culture medium enhanced the release of PRL.On the other hand, we have found that a Considerable number of cells exposed secretion of … More both PRL and GH when the pituitaries were dispersed and cultured.这表明PRL和/或GH的转录或翻译已被阻断，直到细胞分散和培养为止。环己酰亚胺阻止了此类细胞的外观。这些发现表明，分散和培养后分泌PRL和GH的细胞在将这些激素转移到体外系统之前具有mRNA。 In addition, several of the PRL-immunoreactive cells possesses GHmRNA.Prolactin mRNA was also expressed in several of the GH immunoreactive cells.In conclusion, paracrine and autocrine regulation of pituitary cell function in amphibians were elucidated: (1) PRL acts directly on gonadotrophs to enhance their responsiveness to GnRH in a paracrine fashion. （2）PRL mRNA在GH细胞中的翻译和PRL细胞中GH mRNA的翻译都是由细胞分散和/或培养触发的，这表明存在旁分泌因子的存在，这些因子抑制了PRL细胞中PRLMRNA在PRL细胞中的翻译。 （3）PRL细胞分泌的α-亚基充当自分泌和/或旁分泌因子，以增强PRL的释放。较少的
