We evaluated the effects of pituitary dependent hormones on alpha 1-antitrypsin in male rats. Hepatic alpha 1-antitrypsin mRNA was measured by in vitro translation and by specific hybridization with a mouse cDNA alpha 1-antitrypsin probe. Hypophysectomy caused a 50-75% decrease in serum elastase inhibitory capacity (measuring functional alpha 1-antitrypsin) and hepatic alpha 1-antitrypsin mRNA content. In hypophysectomized animals, no increase in elastase inhibitory capacity or alpha 1-antitrypsin mRNA levels by translation was found when met-human growth hormone alone or corticosterone, dihydrotestosterone and thyroxine were given together. Growth hormone increased alpha 1-antitrypsin mRNA by hybridization to a small extent. Addition of growth hormone to the combination of corticosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and thyroxine increased serum elastase inhibitory capacity and alpha 1-antitrypsin mRNA. We conclude that growth hormone acts synergistically with the other pituitary dependent hormones to regulate serum and hepatic mRNA levels of alpha 1-antitrypsin.
