        The lutropin/chorionicgonadotropin receptor (LHR) is a member of the rhodopsin-like subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that have been shown to mediate the internalization of its five (activation: three; inactivation: two) naturally occurring mutation. Gonadotropin receptors are members of the seven transmembrane (TM) receptor families. Several point mutations in TM II, III, V and VI have been identified in the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) gene, leading to constitutive activation and inactivation of the receptor. In eelLHR, we generated 3 types of constitutive activating mutations (M410T, L469R and D590Y) and 2 types of constitutive inactivating mutations (D383N and Y546F) to investigate how they work on hormone-receptor interaction. To assess the functional effects of 5 receptor mutations directly, wild-type (WT) and mutant receptors were transiently expressed in CHO-K1 cells. We evaluated the basal and cAMP stimulation by rec-LH hormone. The activity was shown to be a dose-dependent increase in cAMP production in LHR-WT expressing cells with an EC50 of 24.3 ng/ml and basal cAMP level of 2.6 nM. However, three activation mutants (D590Y, L469R and M410T) was most elevated the basal cAMP response at 12.8, 21.7 and 6.1 nM, respectively. In two inactivation mutants (D383N and Y546F) are very low in the basal cAMP activation. The EC50 was also considerably decreased to 42.3 ng/ml and 1181 ng/ml, respectively.

        Previous studies showed that recombinant equine chorionic gonadotropin (rec-eCGβ/α) exhibits both folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)-like activities in rat LHR- and FSHR-expressing cells. In this study, we analyzed signal transduction by eelFSHR and eelLHR upon stimulation with rec-eCGβ/α and native eCG. The cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) stimulation in CHO-K1 cells expressing eelLHR was determined upon exposure to different doses (0–1,450 ng/mL) of rec-eCGβ/α and native eCG. The EC50 values of rec-eCGβ/α and native eCG were 172.4 and 786.6 ng/mL, respectively. The activity of rec-eCGβ/α was higher than that of native eCG. However, signal transduction in the CHO PathHunter Parental cells expressing eelFSHR was not enhanced by stimulation with both agonist rec-eCGβ/α and native eCG. We concluded that rec-eCGβ/α and native eCG were completely active in cells expressing eelLHR, similar to the activity in the mammalian cells expressing LHRs. However, rec-eCGβ/α and native eCG did not invoke any signaling response in the cells expressing eelFSHR. These results suggest that eCG has a potent activity in cells expressing eelLHR. Thus, we also suggest that rec-eCGβ/α can induce eel maturation by administering gonadotropic reagents (LH), such as salmon pituitary extract.

        Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)과 그 수용체가 흰쥐의 난소, 정소, 자궁, 태 반 그리고 유선 등의 생식기관에서 발현됨이 알려져 있다. 더욱이, 뇌하수체 전엽에 작용하는 GnRH의 표적 산물로 알려진 luteinizing hormone (LH)이 흰쥐 생식소에서도 발현됨이 알려졌는데, 이는 생식소 내에 GnRH-LH로 이루어진 국부 회로 (local circuit)가 존재함을 시사하는 것이다 본 연구는 LH와 그 수용
