[Regulation of hormone secretion in primary cell cultures of human somatotropinomas].
The effects of somatostatin and thyroliberin (thyrotropin-releasing hormone; TRH) on growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) secretion were studied in short-term (0.5-3h) or long-term (21-24h) incubations using monolayer cell cultures of somatotropin obtained from surgical material of patients with acromegaly. High sensitivity of both GH and PRL release to inhibitory action of somatostatin (10(-11) M) was established. We could not reveal the unambiguous influence of TRH on somatotropic function in the in vivo and in vitro conditions, as compared to the action of this tripeptide on PRL secretion. The results obtained permit us to propose that cell cultures of pituitary adenomata represent adequate and convenient models for studying the pathogenesis of tumor processes in the pituitary gland and for the development of new procedures of pharmacotherapy.
