- W2022251447 abstract "Thymulin is a thymic hormone involved in several aspects of intra- and extrathymic T-cell differentiation. Thymulin also possesses hypophysiotropic activity which suggests that this metallopeptide may play an important role in thymus-pituitary communication, particularly during early life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of serum thymulin suppression from birth to peripuberty on the morphology of different pituitary cell populations in prepubertal C57Bl/6 mice. Animals were submitted to immunoneutralization of circulating thymulin from postnatal day 1 to the end of the study (age 32 days). From their 1st day of life, the animals were submitted to a protocol of intraperitoneal injections of rabbit anti-thymulin serum (α-FTS) and normal rabbit serum (NRS) in the controls. On their 33rd day of life, the animals were killed and their pituitaries were immediately dissected, fixed and immunostained using the EnVision system with primary antibodies against growth hormone, thyrotropin, corticotropin, gonadotropins and prolactin. Morphometry was performed by means of an image analysis system. The following parameters were calculated: volume density = Σ cell area/reference area (RA); cell density (CD) = number of cells/RA, and cell size (expressed in µm2). Serum thymulin was measured by a rosette bioassay while pituitary hormones were assayed by radioimmunoassay. Serum prolactin, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone were significantly lower in the α-FTS animals of either sex compared with the corresponding NRS counterparts. The somatotrope, lactotrope and corticotrope populations showed a significant decrease in CD, while cell hypertrophy was observed in some of the pituitary cell populations of the α-FTS group compared to the NRS group. In the α-FTS group, there were sex differences in the morphometric changes observed. Our results suggest that serum thymulin plays a significant role during early life in the postnatal maturation of endocrine cells of the mouse anterior pituitary gland." @default.
