Treatment of anterior pituitary reaggregate cell cultures from 14-day-old female rats with physiological doses of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone LHRH or neuropeptide Y (NPY) for 40 h dose-dependently increased [3H]thymidine ([3H]T) incorporation into DNA of cells expressing PRL immunoreactivity (PRL-ir) and of those expressing ACTH-ir, whereas these peptides decreased the number of [3H]T-labeled cells expressing GH-ir. The effects of NPY were of the same magnitude as those of LHRH. The effects of LHRH were not seen in a gonadotroph-deprived cell population obtained by sequential velocity and buoyant density gradient sedimentation. When the latter cell population was coaggregated with purified gonadotrophs from 14-day-old rats, LHRH did enhance [3H]T labeling of lactotrophs and decreased that of somatotrophs. Gonadotroph-conditioned medium obtained by continuous perifusion of gonadotroph-rich reaggregates contained four different high molecular weight substances mimicking the effects of LHRH and NPY on [3H]T incorporation in the respective pituitary cell types. These substances were partially purified and separated from each other by concentration on a Bond-elut C18-reversed phase cartridge, ultrafiltration, and C18-reversed phase HPLC. One factor stimulated [3H]T labeling of lactotrophs, another that of corticotrophs, and two others inhibited [3H]T labeling of somatotrophs. The present data suggest that the development of PRL-, GH-, and ACTH-containing cells in the pituitary is modulated by LHRH and/or NPY and that the action of LHRH and probably also of NPY is mediated by specific paracrine growth factors released from gonadotrophs.
