In vitro stimulation of prolactin release by vasoactive intestinal peptide
Abstract
The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on anterior pituitary hormone release was examined in a variety of in vitro preparations. Synthetic VIP was capable of stimulating increased prolactin (PRL) release from male rat hemipituitaries in doses as low as 10-9M only when the enzyme inhibitor bacitracin was present in the incubation medium. Natural porcine VIP was similarly capable of stimulating PRL release, but only at higher doses (10-6M). Additionally, synthetic VIP was capable of stimulating PRL release from dispersed anterior pituitary cells harvested from adult male and lactating female rats and from an enriched population of lactotrophs obtained by unit gravity sedimentation of similar dispersed cells from infantile female rats. No effect of VIP on luteinizing hormone, growth hormone or thyroid stimulating hormone release was seen. These findings taken in concert with the presence of VIP in the hypothalamus, pituitary and hypophyseal portal plasma of the rat suggest a physiological role for VIP in the control of PRL secretion.
