- W2092508249 abstract "Hamster hypophyseal pars tuberalis (PT)-specific cells are characterized by the expression of common alpha-chain and TSH beta. Immunoreactivity for these subunits and the morphology of these cells are known to exhibit remarkable seasonal changes. The high density of melatonin (Mel) receptors on PT-specific cells leads to the supposition that fluctuations in circulating Mel levels induced by photoperiodic signals are a crucial factor for the morphological alterations. To more closely investigate transcriptional and translational activities in PT-specific cells, we cloned and sequenced hamster alpha and TSH beta complementary DNA fragments and assessed messenger RNA/protein formation by in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry under short and long photoperiod and in pinealectomized animals kept in short photoperiod. Hamster common alpha-chain and TSH beta exhibited high sequence homology with the corresponding rat hormones [94% (alpha-chain) and 90% (TSH beta) on the nucleotide level and 100% (alpha-chain) and 96% (TSH beta) on the amino acid level]. Immunocytochemical staining with antibodies directed against the common alpha-chain and TSH beta revealed a reduced immunoreactivity of PT-specific cells under short photoperiod, but this was not altered in pinealectomized animals exposed to short photoperiod. In situ hybridization against both hormonal subunits paralleled these changes, with a dramatic decrease in hormonal messenger RNA in short photoperiod. This regulatory influence was also blocked in pinealectomy. Taken together, these results demonstrate that transcription and translation of hormonal subunits are regulated by photoperiod in hamster PT-specific cells, whereas expression remained unchanged in short photoperiod if pinealectomy was performed. We, therefore, conclude that in hamsters, the Mel Signal not the light regimen per se, is a direct or indirect Zeitgeber for the transduction of photoperiodic information to the secretory activity in this pituitary cell type." @default.
