Early human trophoblast shows dramatic invasive properties during early pregnancy. The simultaneous synthesis of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their specific tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in both human trophoblast and decidual membranes suggests that their controlled and balanced expression is crucial for the rapid matrix remodeling and controlled invasion during early pregnancy. Recently, we have described the presence of an extrahypothalamic GnRH immunologically, biologically and chemically identical to the hypothalamic hormone in periimplantation human embryos. Moreover, the production of this decapeptide by the human trophoblast during the early stages of placentation is well documented. TIMP-1 and -3 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression in cultured stromal cells and protein secretion into the medium were significantly decreased by GnRH agonist compared to that in control groups. Moreover, expression of TIMP-1 was affected to a greater extent than that of TIMP-3. GnRH antagonist ablated the down-regulation of TIMPs by the GnRH agonist. MMP-9 mRNA expression was not detected in the control groups or in the groups treated with GnRH analogs. Our results provide evidence that trophoblastic GnRH may play an important role in placental tissue organization and in the early embryo-maternal dialogue by enhancing trophoblast invasion through the specific inhibition of TIMPs.

Islet amyloid polypeptide/amylin messenger RNA and protein expression in human insulinomas in relation to amyloid formation.

OBJECTIVE: Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), also named amylin, is the predominant protein component of amyloid deposits in human islet beta cell tumours of the pancreas (insulinomas). IAPP is co-produced with insulin by islet beta cells. We investigated IAPP expression in relation to insulin expression and to amyloid formation in eleven insulinomas. DESIGN AND METHODS: RNA and protein extracts were prepared from the same pieces of tumour tissue, and from specimens of two normal human pancreata. IAPP and insulin mRNA and peptide content were quantified using Northern blot analysis and radioimmunoassay (RIA) respectively. Molecular forms of IAPP immunoreactivity were analysed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The presence of islet hormones and of amyloid was assessed by (immuno)histochemical staining of paraffin sections. Plasma levels of IAPP and insulin prior to tumour resection were determined by RIA. RESULTS: IAPP and insulin mRNA and peptide content varied widely between the tumour specimens, and there was considerable intratumour heterogeneity of peptide content. HPLC analysis indicated correct proteolytic processing of the IAPP precursor protein. Amyloid deposits were detected only in the three tumours with the highest IAPP content. In contrast to insulin, plasma levels of IAPP were not elevated in the insulinoma patients. CONCLUSIONS: The spectrum of hormone production by insulinomas cannot be inferred from only a few tissue sections due to intratumour heterogeneity. Expression of the IAPP and insulin genes is not coupled in insulinomas, which produce properly processed mature IAPP. In addition to IAPP overproduction, additional factors such as intracellular accumulation of IAPP are involved in amyloidogenesis in insulinomas.

Fibroblast growth factor-8 expression is regulated by intronic engrailed and Pbx1-binding sites.

Fibroblast growth factor-8 (FGF8) plays a critical role in vertebrate development and is expressed normally in temporally and spatially restricted regions of the vertebrate embryo. We now report on the identification of regions of Fgf8 important for its transcriptional regulation in murine ES cell-derived embryoid bodies. Stable transfection of ES cells, using a human growth hormone reporter gene, was employed to identify regions of the Fgf8 gene with promoter/enhancer activity. A 2-kilobase 5' region of Fgf8 was shown to contain promoter activity. A 0.8-kilobase fragment derived from the large intron of Fgf8 was found to enhance human growth hormone expressed from the Fgf8 promoter 3-4-fold in an orientation dependent manner. The intronic fragment contains DNA-binding sites for the AP2, Pbx1, and Engrailed transcription factors. Gel shift and Western blot experiments documented the presence of these transcription factors in nuclear extracts from ES cell embryoid bodies. In vitro mutagenesis of the Engrailed or Pbx1 site demonstrated that these sites modulate the activity of the intronic fragment. In addition, in vitro mutagenesis of both Engrailed and Pbx1 sites indicated that other unidentified sites are responsible for the transcriptional enhancement observed with the intronic fragment.

Intracerebroventricular injection of arginine-vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist attenuates the surge of luteinizing hormone and prolactin secretion in proestrous rats.

In the present study, we examined the effect of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) V1 receptor antagonist ([Deamino-Pen1, Tyr(Me)2, Arg8]-vasopressin) injection (1 microg/2 microl saline) into the third ventricle in the proestrous rat on serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin (PRL) which were determined between 1100 and 2100 h at 1-h intervals. Control rats were injected with 2 microl saline. The injection of AVP receptor antagonist at 1300 h resulted in significant decreases in both LH and PRL secretion compared to saline-injected rats. The present study provides evidence supporting our hypothesis that endogenous AVP plays a role in the induction of the surge of LH and PRL secretion as a stimulatory factor.

Maternal adrenocortical hormones maintain the early development of pancreatic B cells in the fetal rat.

To investigate the effect of maternal adrenocortical hormones on the development of fetal pancreatic islet cells, pregnant rats were adrenalectomised on d 6 of gestation. On d 12-16 the growth patterns of fetal insulin-producing B cells, glucagon-producing A cells, and somatostatin-producing D cells were observed histometrically. Maternal adrenalectomy resulted in growth retardation of fetal B cells on d 12-15. Maternal corticosterone therapy prevented this retardation. Maternal adrenalectomy, however, did not affect the developmental patterns of A and D cells. By Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, glucocorticoid receptors were demonstrated to be present in the islet cells from d 12 to d 15. These results suggest that maternal adrenocortical hormones, glucocorticoids in particular, maintain the early development of fetal pancreatic B cells through their specific intracellular glucocorticoid receptor.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.
Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
