Abstract
A cerebral growth hormone axis is activated during recovery from brain injury and centrally administered growth hormone can rescue injured neurons. It remains unclear, however, whether this treatment effect occurs directly via neuronal growth hormone receptors. Immunohistochemistry confirmed growth hormone receptor protein on neuronal cell bodies in the rat cortex. Surprisingly, we found that central treatment with bovine growth hormone, which is equipotent to rat growth hormone in the rat periphery, failed to rescue cortical neurons following hypoxic ischemic injury. We further investigated the actions of rat and bovine growth hormone on primary neuron-enriched cultures of fetal rat cortex. In agreement with the in vivo treatment studies, rat but not bovine growth hormone rescued neurons from nutrient deprivation-induced cell death (p<0.05). This neuroprotective effect was inhibited by the selective growth hormone receptor antagonist G120D (p<0.001). Furthermore, rat but not bovine growth hormone had trophic effects on uninjured cultures (p<0.001). Immunocytochemistry showed growth hormone receptor on neurons within the neuron-enriched cultures. We show for the first time that the protective and trophic effects of rat growth hormone are mediated via growth hormone receptors on neurons and that the rodent neuronal growth hormone receptor exhibits unique ligand specificity.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of bovine GH (bGH) on Ca(2+) handling, phospholipase C (PLC) activation and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] formation in hepatocytes. bGH generates oscillations in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in single male rat hepatocytes microinjected with the photoprotein aequorin. In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) these transients persisted for more than 10 min indicating a requirement for intracellular Ca(2+). Treatment of the hepatocyte with the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) inhibitor U-73122 removed the oscillations. These results suggest bGH-induced oscillations are due to PLC activation and generation of Ins(1,4,5)P(3). We measured the mass of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) in freshly isolated hepatocyte suspensions in response to bGH, and vasopressin as a control. Both agonists rapidly increased the levels of Ins(1,4,5)P(3). This is the first study to indicate that early events in the signal transduction pathways mediated by GH in hepatocytes involve intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization via activation of a PI-PLC and subsequent Ins(1,4,5)P(3) production.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) and IGFs have a long distinguished history in diabetes, with possible participation in the development of renal complications. The implicated effect of GH in diabetic end-stage organ damage may be mediated by growth hormone receptor (GHR) or postreceptor events in GH signal transduction. The present study investigates the effects of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ) on renal GH signaling. Our results demonstrate that JAK2, insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, Shc, ERKs, and Akt are widely distributed in the kidney, and after GH treatment, there is a significant increase in phosphorylation of these proteins in STZ-induced diabetic rats compared with controls. Moreover, the GH-induced association of IRS-1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, IRS-1/growth factor receptor bound 2 (Grb2), and Shc/Grb2 are increased in diabetic rats as well. Immunohistochemical studies show that GH-induced p-Akt and p-ERK activation is apparently more pronounced in the kidneys of diabetic rats. Administration of G120K-PEG, a GH antagonist, in diabetic mice shows inhibitory effects on diabetic renal enlargement and reverses the alterations in GH signal transduction observed in diabetic animals. The present study demonstrates a role for GH signaling in the pathogenesis of early diabetic renal changes and suggests that specific GHR blockade may present a new concept in the treatment of diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
Rapid progress has been made recently in the definition of growth hormone (GH) receptor signal transduction pathways. It is now apparent that many cytokines, including GH, share identical or similar signalling components to exert their cellular effects. This review provides a brief discourse on the signal transduction pathways, which have been demonstrated to be utilized by GH. The identification of such pathways provides a basis for understanding the pleiotropic actions of GH. The mechanisms by which the specific cellular effects of GH are achieved remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is not only the major regulator of postnatal somatic growth but also exerts profound effects on body composition through a combination of anabolic, lipolytic and antinatriuretic actions. GH enhancement of the lipolytic activity of adipose tissue in combination with a reduction of triglyceride accumulation via inhibition of lipoprotein lipase activity appears to be the major mechanism by which GH results in a reduction of the total fat mass. Recently, much progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanism by which GH affects cellular function. This review provides a brief discourse and summary of the mechanism of effects of GH on preadipocyte/adipocyte function. It is intended to provide a functional understanding of the mechanism of action of GH as it relates to adipogenesis and adipocyte function.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is an important mitogenic stimulus for the insulin-producing beta-cell. We investigated the effects of GH on Ca(2+) handling and diacylglycerol (DAG) and cAMP formation in the beta-cell. GH elicited a rapid increase in the cytoplasmic free [Ca(2+)], which required extracellular Ca(2+) and was also blocked by pertussis toxin or protein kinase C (PKC) inhibition. GH also elevated islet DAG content, which should lead to PKC activation. Pertussis toxin and PKC inhibitors obliterated the mitogenicity of GH, suggesting involvement of GTP-binding proteins. PKC activation stimulated beta-cell proliferation, and it also activated phospholipase D. Islet cAMP content was not elevated by GH. Addition of a specific protein kinase A antagonist failed to influence the mitogenicity of GH, whereas a stimulatory cAMP agonist stimulated beta-cell replication. We conclude that GH rapidly increases the beta-cell cytoplasmic free [Ca(2+)] and also evokes a similar increase in DAG content via a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C, but does not affect mitogen-activated protein kinases, phospholipase D, or the cAMP signaling pathway. This rise in DAG may be of importance in translation of the stimulatory signal of GH into a proliferative response by the beta-cell, which seems to occur through GTP-binding proteins and PKC-dependent mechanisms.

Abstract
Growth hormone acts through binding to membrane receptors that belong to the cytokine receptor superfamily. Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization and activation of the receptor-associated kinase: JAK2; this results in phosphorylation of the kinase itself, of the receptor, and of many cellular proteins. Among these are the Stat proteins as well as adaptors leading to the activation of the Ras/MAP kinase pathway and of the PI-3 kinase pathway. Activation by growth hormone is very transient and several mechanisms are involved in this downregulation: internalization and degradation of the receptor and recruitment of phosphatases or of specific inhibitors of the JAK/Stat pathway, the SOCS proteins.

Abstract
Secretory group II (sPLA2) and cytosolic (cPLA2) phospholipases A2 and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) play a pivotal role in release of proinflammatory eicosanoids. Excessive activity of sPLA2 per se can also propagate inflammation. Endogenous control of the above enzymes has not been completely elucidated. We investigated the combined impact of promoting cytokines and inhibitory peptide growth factors on the expression of mRNA of the above enzymes, on protein content and extracellular release of sPLA2 and on PGE2 production in osteoblasts (FRCO). The synthesis and release of sPLA2 were enhanced by about 20-fold by 0.5 ng/ml IL-1beta or by 50 ng/ml of TNFalpha. Coaddition of both cytokines resulted in synergistic 150-fold increase in the release of sPLA2 implying the existence of two paths of induction. IL-1beta and TNFalpha markedly enhanced the transcription of sPLA2 mRNA. Kinetic study showed that IL-1/TNF initiated sPLA2 release after 12 h, reaching maximum at 48 h. IL-1alpha was a weak stimulator of sPLA2 release, whereas IL-6, IL-8, IGF, IFN-gamma, growth hormone, insulin and GM-CSF were not stimulatory. Peptide growth hormones TGFbeta, PDGF-BB, EGF and bFGF markedly inhibited the extracellular release of sPLA2. TGFbeta and PDGF-BB significantly reduced the level of sPLA2 mRNA, thus acting upon transcription whereas EGF and bFGF were not inhibitory, acting rather upon the translational or posttranslational steps. IL-1/TNF and growth factors had no significant effect on cPLA2 mRNA expression. Cox-2 mRNA expression was markedly enhanced by IL-1/TNF and suppressed by all growth factors tested. Cytokines enhanced the extracellular release of PGE2 and further enhancement was induced by growth factors with the exception of TGFbeta. Cycloheximide abolished completely the release of sPLA2 and markedly reduced the release of PGE2 from cytokine-stimulated FRCO, regardless of whether growth factors were present or not. NS-398, a specific inhibitor of Cox-2 abolished almost completely the release of PGE2 from cytokine-stimulated cells, regardless of the presence of growth factors. Thus, different signalling mechanisms are involved in the impact of growth factors on mRNA expression of sPLA2, cPLA2 and Cox-2. The differences between the impact on FRCO sPLA2 and that reported in other cells, imply that endogenous control of arachidonic acid cascade is cell-specific.

Abstract
The growth hormone (GH) receptor belongs to the superfamily of transmembrane proteins that includes the prolactin (PRL) receptor and a number of cytokine receptors. Two forms exist for the GH receptor: the membrane-bound form is a protein of 620 amino acid residues with a unique transmembrane domain; the GH-binding protein (GHBP), which is a soluble short form, is identical to the extracellular domain of the membrane receptor. In man and many other species, GHBP is believed to result from proteolytic cleavage of the membrane receptor; in human tissues, only one mRNA form of 4.5 kb encoding the full-length receptor has been detected. In rodents, GHBP is encoded by a specific mRNA of 1.2kb. Binding of GH to its receptor results in dimerization of the receptor, phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase JAK2 and of the receptor, followed by a cascade of protein phosphorylations. Transcription factors belonging to the signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) family are involved in the effects of GH on the transcription of genes such as c-fos, serine protease inhibitor Spi 2.1 and beta-casein. GH is able to activate several STAT proteins including STAT1, 3 and 5. The JAK-STAT pathway is a main pathway for GH effects on gene transcription. Other signalling molecules are involved in GH action through different pathways: GH is able to activate mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinases; the hormone can utilize insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and induces the association of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase with IRS-1. Two main functional regions have been defined in the cytoplasmic domain of the GH receptor by testing the activity of mutant forms of the receptor in several systems: Box 1, a proline-rich sequence in the membrane proximal part, is necessary for all GH effects and is probably the region of association with JAK2; the C-terminal region is required for the induction of specific genes. Other molecules involved in the mechanisms of action of GH remain to be identified. As the same signalling pathways are used by many ligands, explanations for the specificity of the cellular effects have to be determined.

Abstract
Single rat hepatocytes microinjected with the photoprotein aequorin generate oscillations in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) when stimulated with agonists acting through the phosphoinositide signalling pathway. We show here that, in single rat hepatocytes, bovine growth hormone (bGH) is able to induce [Ca2+]i oscillations which display similarities with oscillations induced by phenylephrine. Thus the rate of rise of intracellular Ca2+ in each oscillation closely resembles that induced by Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated agonists. However, the duration of bGH-induced oscillations increases with agonist concentration, in contrast to phenylephrine-induced oscillations, which undergo an increase in frequency as the agonist concentration is raised, without any increase in the duration of individual oscillations.

Abstract
It has become evident that intracellular protein phosphorylation plays an important role in mediating signal transduction of hormones and growth factors, including growth hormone (GH). We have previously demonstrated that GH can stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins with approximate molecular masses of 95,000 daltons (pp95) in GH-treated 3T3-F442A preadipocytes and in mouse L cells that express recombinant porcine or bovine GH receptors. In the present study, a series of GH receptor (GHR) truncation analogs were constructed and examined for their abilities to induce pp95. The results revealed that a region of approximately 40 amino acids in the porcine GHR cytoplasmic domain is essential for induction of pp95. The results also established that the 115 amino acids (517-638) near the C terminus of porcine GHR are not required for pp95 induction. Moreover, the basal levels of GH-induced pp95 in parental mouse L cells was suppressed by expression of these GHR truncation analogs. This suggests that pp95 induced by GH may be mediated by GHR dimerization and can be inhibited by overexpression of truncated porcine GHRs.

Abstract
Examination of livers from transgenic mice over expressing human growth hormone (hGH) revealed numerous alterations including a striking incidence of mitotic figures. The reason for increased proliferation is unclear, but could be related to effects of hGH, which is also acting as a lactogen in rodents. In order to identify some of the actions of GH, we have examined the effects of rat and human GH and rat prolactin on proliferation, as well as on morphological differentiation of normal rat liver cells in vitro. These cells, isolated from a 20-day-old rat, proliferate in culture, incorporate BrdU and are thus strikingly different from primary cultures of isolated hepatocytes, which typically are non-proliferating cells. Monolayers of these cells were treated with rat prolactin (rPRL), rat growth hormone (rGH), rPRL and rGH in combination, or hGH, for 24 hr. Subsequently, mitotic figures were counted and the cultures were processed for transmission electron microscopy. The incidence of mitotic figures was significantly increased by rPRL (27.4%) versus control (19%), while rGH (13%) and hGH (9.6%) significantly decreased proliferation. In controls, 2% of the proliferating cells were in prophase, approximately 12% in metaphase and approximately 15% in telophase. In contrast, rPRL caused a significant increase in the number of cells in prophase (14%) and reduced the number of cells in the other mitotic stages. hGH and rGH reduced the overall number of mitotic figures. Unexpectedly, the effects of rGH plus rPRL were different from the effect of hGH. In addition, each treatment caused distinct morphological changes of liver cell organelles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Porcine and bovine GH receptor (GHR) cDNAs were stably expressed in mouse L cells, which normally do not possess detectable levels of mouse GHR. Expression of the GHR cDNAs resulted in specific binding of 125I-labeled GH by these cell lines. To study GHR-related signaling events in these cells, protein tyrosine phosphorylation was examined. In GH-treated cells, a tyrosine-phosphorylated protein with a molecular mass of approximately 95 kDa (pp95) was increased dramatically (approximately 100-fold) relative to non-GH-treated cells. The amount of pp95 within the cells after GH treatment was positively correlated with the number of GHRs on the cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation of pp95 could not be induced by prolactin, insulin, insulin-like growth factor I, interleukin 2, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, or fibroblast growth factor. Phosphorylation of pp95 was found to be a rapid event that could be observed 60 sec after GH treatment. Also, pp95 appears to exist as a complex of two proteins, i.e., pp95 and pp96. The GH-induced response by these cells may be of use in screening GH analogs for biological activity.

Abstract
The functional properties of the growth hormone (GH) receptor was studied using cellular transfection of GH receptor cDNA. GH treatment (1.5-2 h) of Chinese hamster ovary cells, stably transfected with GH receptor cDNA (CHO4), resulted in increased cellular lipid synthesis (240% of control). This effect was blocked by staurosporine, suggesting a dependence on cellular kinases. However, if GH treatment of CHO4 cells was prolonged (16 h), this instead stimulated lipolysis (128% of control). The GH receptor in CHO4 cells was also shown to be functional in terms of ligand internalization. A GH receptor mutant, in which 183 amino acids had been deleted in the carboxyterminal of the intracellular domain was functionally active, while a receptor without its intracellular domain was shown to be inactive. In conclusion, GH receptors expressed in CHO cells are functional and GH was also shown to have both an acute insulin-like effect, which was kinase dependent, and a long-term anti-insulin-like effect on the lipid metabolism. This suggests that an approach using GH receptor cDNA transfected cells can be of value in understanding the mechanism of GH action.

Abstract
The mechanism of action of growth hormone (GH) is not known, although indirect evidence suggests that protein kinase C (PKC) might play an important role in the insulin-like actions of GH. In this investigation, we directly examined the effects of GH relative to those of insulin on PKC activity in isolated rat hepatocytes. Human GH (10(-7) mol/L) significantly increased the activity of PKC in both cytosolic and particulate fractions. The effect was maximal at 1 minute, disappeared at 5 minutes, and then increased again at 30 minutes in both fractions. At 1 minute, maximal and half-maximal stimulation of PKC activity occurred at hGH concentrations of 10(-7) and 5 x 10(-9) mol/L, respectively. Insulin (10(-7) mol/L) also induced a significant and transient increase in enzyme activity at 2 minutes in cytosolic and particulate fractions; at 30 minutes, PKC activity was decreased in the soluble fraction (-17%) and increased in the particulate fraction (+65%). Measurement of specific [3H]-phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu) binding suggested translocation of PKC from the cytosol to the membrane fraction after 30 minutes of incubation, only after insulin treatment. The early effects of GH and insulin on PKC activity were additive in both the particulate and cytosolic fractions. Although the later effects of GH and insulin on PKC were quite different, both hormones rapidly activated PKC in isolated hepatocytes, suggesting that PKC might be involved in triggering the insulin-like actions of GH.

Abstract
Initial biosynthetic radiolabelling experiments with cultured granulosa cells revealed the presence of an oligosaccharide-phosphatidylinositol (glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol; (Ose)nPtdIns) structurally related to (Ose)nPtdIns-lipids isolated from other cell types. Prolactin (PRL) stimulated [3H]glucosamine-(Ose)nPtdIns turnover and the rapid generation of [3H]myristoyl-diacylglycerol in cultured follicle-stimulating hormone-(FSH)-primed granulosa cells endowed with PRL receptors. In parallel experiments performed with [3H]myo-inositol-labelled granulosa cells, treatment with PRL stimulated (Ose)nPtdIns hydrolysis in a similar manner, whereas no effect on phosphoinositide (PtdIns, PtdInsP and PtdInsP2) turnover could be observed. These results strongly suggest that the cleavage of (Ose)nPtdIns by phosphodiesterase followed by the subsequent generation of diacylglycerol and a soluble phosphoinositol-oligosaccharide (inositol-phosphoglycan; (Ose)nInsP) moiety could be part of the signal-transduction mechanism linking PRL receptors to their biological effects in granulosa cells. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effect of PRL and purified (Ose)nInsP moiety (from rat liver membranes) on granulosa cell 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta 5-4 isomerase (3 beta-HSD) enzyme activity. Results presented show that, in FSH-primed granulosa cells, PRL (40 nM) and (Ose)nInsP (5 microM) prevented gonadotropin-stimulated 3 beta-HSD activity. Furthermore, in undifferentiated granulosa cells where PRL receptors are absent, no effect of the hormone on 3 beta-HSD activity could be observed, whereas (Ose)nInsP (1-10 microM) inhibited enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
The hydroxylation of cholesterol, bile acids, and steroid hormones by liver cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes proceeds with a high degree of regiospecificity, and contributes to both biosynthetic and catabolic pathways of sterol metabolism. CYP 7-catalyzed cholesterol 7α-hydroxylation, a key control point of bile acid biosynthesis, is regulated at a pretranslational step, probably transcription initiation, by multiple factors, including liver bile acid and cholesterol levels, thyroid hormone status, and diurnal rhythm. Hydrophobic bile acids, such as lithocholic acid, are converted to less cholestatic derivatives by 6β-hydroxylation carried out by CYP 3A P450s, which also catalyze steroid hormone 6β-hydroxylation reactions. Complex, gender-dependent developmental patterns characterize the expression of steroid 5α-reductase and several rat liver steroid hydroxylase CYPs. Multiple pituitary-dependent factors regulate the expression of these enzymes; of greatest importance are the gonadal steroids and the sex-dependent secretory patterns of growth hormone (GH) that they impart. The continuous presence of GH in circulation, a characteristic of adult female rats, positively regulates expression of the female-specific steroid disulfate 15β-hydroxylase CYP 2C12, while expression of the male-specific steroid 16α- and 2α-hydroxylase CYP 2C11 is stimulated by the intermittent pituitary secretion of GH that occurs in adult male rats. Intermittent GH can stimulate CYP 2C11 gene expression even when the hormone presents to the hepatocyte at a non-physiological pulse amplitude, duration, and frequency, provided that an interpulse interval of no GH (obligatory recovery period) is maintained for at least 2.5 h. GH regulates the expression of the CYP 2C11 and CYP 2C12 genes at the level of transcription initiation. This process is probably mediated by sex-dependent and GH-regulated protein-DNA interactions, such as those observed in the 5'-flank of the CYP 2C12 gene. Thyroid hormone is a second major regulator of liver steroid hydroxylase P450 activity. It regulates these enzymes directly, at a pretranslational step, and indirectly, through its stimulation of pituitary GH secretion and by its positive effects on the expression of the flavoenzyme NADPH-P450 reductase, which catalyzes electron transfer that is obligatory for all microsomal steroid hydroxylation reactions.

Abstract
The determination of sexually dimorphic hepatic steroid metabolism in rat liver has been shown to involve growth hormone. However, the mechanisms by which growth hormone controls the cytochrome P450 enzymes responsible for this dimorphic steroid metabolism is largely unknown. In this review we discuss different levels of growth hormone signal transduction, including receptor binding, signal transduction and activation of target genes by growth hormone.

Abstract
Biochemical membrane alterations appearing during the process of chemical carcinogenesis are described. Emphasis is put on membrane composition, structure, and biogenesis. In this presentation the knowledge gained from experimental studies of liver and skin in the process of cancer development is acknowledged. Important biochemical changes have been reported in lipid composition, fatty acid saturation, constitutional enzyme expression, receptor turnover and oligomerization. Functional consequences of the altered membrane structure is discussed within the concepts of regulation of cell proliferation, regulation of membrane receptor expression, redox control, signal transduction, drug metabolism, and multidrug resistance. Data from malignant tumours and normal tissue are addressed to evaluate the importance of the alterations for the process and for the eventual malignant transformation.

Abstract
GH by means of its sexually differentiated secretory pattern is the predominant regulator of the expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes responsible for a sexual dimorphism of hepatic steroid metabolism. Other hormones, such as gonadal, thyroid and glucocorticoid hormones, as well as insulin appear to modulate the sexually differentiated expression of these enzymes. The major constitutively expressed sex specific forms of P450, belonging to the P4502C-subfamily, have been shown to be regulated by GH at the level of transcription. However, the GH postreceptor events leading to increased or decreased transcriptional activity are essentially unknown. Neither is the functional role of the soluble GH binding protein yet resolved. On-going protein synthesis is a prerequisite for GH transcriptional activation of the female specific P4502C12 but not for all GH effects in the hepatocyte. With regard to signalling mechanisms PKC activity appears to be permissive for the GH induction of P4502C12 but some as yet unidentified factor/kinase(s) may also be activated. The transcriptional control exerted on the rat P4502C-gene subfamily by the pattern of GH secretion offers a versatile tool to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of GH regulation of cytochrome P450 expression.

Abstract
We have examined the effect of prolactin (PRL) on growth-related gene expression, protein kinase C (PKC) activity and diacylglycerol (DAG) mass in rat liver. Hepatic levels of messenger (m)RNA for c-myc, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and beta-actin increased in a dose-dependent manner within 1 h after PRL administration. Prolactin also caused a transient elevation of liver DAG levels and particulate-associated PKC activity. The PRL-provoked increases in DAG mass and particulate PKC activity were coincident and maximal at 20 min and began declining toward control levels by 30 min. These results suggest a temporal relationship between PRL-stimulated DAG accumulation and PKC activation. Furthermore, the subsequent rapid induction of growth-related gene expression provides new information on the role of PRL as a hepatic mitogen.
