1 MOLECULAR ENDOCRINOLOGY AND IMMUNOLOGY LECTURE 7 - Mechanism of action of growth hormone and prolactin Growth hormone: general actions; receptor; signal transduction; IGFs Prolactin: actions on mammary gland; other actions; receptor; signal transduction Mechanism of action of cytokines

2 The GH-IGF-Somatic axis

3 GH RECEPTOR First cloned (as cDNA) from rabbit and then human liver (Leung et al 1987) signal extracellular transmembrane intracellular 0 247620 Shown to be the real receptor by specificity, and absence in patients with Laron dwarfism

4 Cytokine receptors

5 OVINE GH-RECEPTOR HOMOLOGY MODEL

6

7 GH-RECEPTOR INTERACTION

8 JAK Kinases Soluble tyrosine protein kinases, first named just another kinase. Subsequently janus kinases (because two apparent binding sites for ATP) JAK1 JAK2 JAK3 Tyk

9 GH Receptor and jak2 From: Herrington & Carter-Su (2001)

10 GH signalling From: Herrington & Carter-Su (2001)

11 STAT = signal transduction and activation of transcription STAT1-STAT5 In 3T3-F442A cells use of antisense knock-out of JAK2 or STAT5 eliminates GH actions. Depletion of MAPK pathway and p70 s6 kinase pathway does not

12 Regulation of GH receptor–JAK2 signaling From: Herrington & Carter-Su (2001)

13 The GH-IGF-Somatic axis

14 THE SULPHATION FACTOR/SOMATOMEDIN/IGF HYPOTHESIS Inject hypophysectomized rat with GH: induces growth and metabolism of cartilage (including incorporation of 35 SO 4 into cartilage) Incubate cartilage from hypox rat with serum from hypox rat + GH - no stimulation of cartilage metabolism Incubate cartilage from hypox rat with serum from GH-treated rat - stimulation of cartilage metabolism SO GH treatment leads to production of a factor in serum which can stimulate cartilage metabolism and growth

15 Insulin-like growth factor I and II IGF I IGF II Somatomedins Non-suppressible-insulin-like-activity (NSILA) Multiplication stimulating activity (MSA)

16 Sequence of IGF II

17 Sequences of insulin and IGFs compared

18 Precursors of insulin and IGFs proinsulin proIGF I proIGF II

19 IGF IIInsulin 3D structures of insulin and IGF

20 The GH-IGF-Somatic axis

21 Isaksson

22 The GH-IGF-Somatic axis

23 Endocrine control of mammary gland

24 Mammary gland development

25 Prolactin induces synthesis of the following proteins: Casein Alpha-lactalbumin Lactose synthase Fatty acid synthetase

26 Cytokine signalling From: Shillingford et al (2001)
