摘要

Inositol 4,5-bisphosphate and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, administered exogenously at a concentration of 3 x 10(-5) mol/l increased LH release in superfused rat pituitary cells by 950 +/- 267% and 281 +/- 83%, respectively. This stimulatory effect was reversible and dose-dependent. Other inositol phosphates (inositol 1-monophosphate, inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate, inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate and inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate), tested in vitro, did not significantly influence LH release. In saponin-permeabilized cells, the rate of basal and stimulated LH release was twice that in non-permeabilized cells. Penetration of inositol bisphosphate and inositol trisphosphate into saponin-treated pituitary cells did not increase the secretory potency of these agents compared with their effect on non-permeabilized cells. The new findings document that inositol trisphosphate formation occurs within 5-45 s after GnRH (10(-7) mol/l) administration and seems to be involved in mediating the rapid, first phase of LH release, whereas inositol bisphosphate formation occurs after 3-15 min and is probably related to later phases of LH secretion. Our results suggest that inositol bisphosphate and inositol trisphosphate are important regulators of the release of luteinizing hormone and can exert their effects not only intracellularly, but also extracellularly.
