That is, 20K hGH-V-treated mice have similar body size and composition to hGH-treated mice, as well as improved insulin sensitivity despite having similar adipose tissue mass. Furthermore, 20K hGH-V-treated prolactin receptor-positive cancer cells exhibited significantly less growth compared to hGH treatment. The aim of this study was to use transcriptomics to compare the effects of 20K hGH-V injection to that of hGH injection on adipose and muscle tissue. GH knockout (GHKO) mice, which do not produce endogenous GH, were injected with hGH or 20K hGH-V daily for 5 days and dissected 4 h after the final injection. RNA was extracted from inguinal subcutaneous adipose tissue and quadriceps muscle and subjected to RNA sequencing. When comparing hGH to 20K hGH-V, there were 73 genes that were significantly altered (q value <.05 and log<sub>2</sub> fold change >1 or < -1) in adipose and 32 in muscle, with two genes (Cish and Sv2b) common to both tissues. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) indicated that the adipose tissue of the 20K hGH-V-treated mice had decreased enrichment of genes associated with T and B lymphocytes compared to hGH-treated adipose tissue. Furthermore, 20K hGH-V treatment resulted in increased enrichment of genes associated with adipogenesis and carbon metabolism compared to hGH treatment. In muscle tissue, the electron transport chain and muscle contraction pathways were upregulated in 20K hGH-V-treatment, while cell cycle, extracellular matrix organization, and xenobiotic metabolism pathways were negatively enriched. While most genes and signalling pathways were similar between the two hormone treatments, the differentially expressed genes identified may help explain some of the phenotypic differences between 20K hGH-V and hGH treatment and also suggest additional novel differences, notably muscle fibre type, immune cell infiltration, and fibrosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":16535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuroendocrinology","volume":" ","pages":"e70059"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144310049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to explore how study design might impact experimental outcomes, we systematically documented characteristics of study design in a series of published rodent CVS studies and, in a subset of studies, measured effect sizes in the behavioural tests used to evaluate the effects of CVS. We hypothesised that CVS procedures that were longer or involved more stressors would be associated with larger effect sizes in five commonly used behavioural tests: the sucrose preference test (SPT), the tail suspension test (TST), the forced swim test (FST), the open field test (OFT) and the elevated plus maze (EPM). We also hypothesised that effect sizes would positively correlate between the behavioural tests that are believed to measure the same consequences of CVS. We searched PubMed for articles using CVS procedures with mice or rats and systematically documented the duration (the length of the CVS procedure), burden (the total number of stressors experienced by the animal) and diversity (the total number of different types of stressors used) of the CVS procedures used. We also systematically documented the design of the behavioural tests used to evaluate the effects of CVS in each study and calculated the effect sizes obtained in these tests. To ask whether effect sizes in these tests correlated with characteristics of the CVS procedure used, we used a linear model of the effect of duration, burden, and diversity on the effect size, then calculated the Euclidean distance between studies' characteristics and correlated those with the differences in effect size between studies. To explore whether effect sizes correlated between different behavioural tests, we calculated a pairwise Pearson correlation. We observed that most studies used a unique CVS procedure. In contrast to our hypothesis, the most evident impact of CVS procedure design was on FST effect sizes, where longer-duration CVS procedures with more diverse types of stressors were associated with a smaller effect size in behavioural tests. When exploring correlations between behavioural test effect sizes, we found a positive correlation between effect sizes in the TST and FST, and in the OFT and EPM, but the strongest positive correlations were between the EPM and TST, and between the EPM and FST. These data uncover complex relationships that are not necessarily in concordance with current understanding of what these tests measure.

However, few studies have explored how THs regulate the CRF system in teleosts. Furthermore, while the CRF system regulates corticotrope activity via a CRF receptor 1 (CRFR1) mediated pathway, the signaling pathway by which CRF stimulates TSH production in teleost thyrotropes is unknown. To better understand interactions between THs and the CRF system, we performed a series of in vivo, in vitro, and in silico analyses using Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). We found that chronic elevation of triiodothyronine (T3) levels elicited ligand- and paralog-specific effects on transcript levels of CRF peptides in the hypothalamic and preoptic regions of the brain. Additionally, elevated T3 increased transcription of pituitary CRF receptor 2 (crfr2b) but had no effect on CRFR1 transcription. Consistent with interactions between THs and CRFR2, we found that transcription of TSH (tshba) only increased in cultured pituitaries when CRFR2 was activated. In contrast, CRFR1 activation only increased the transcription of corticotrope-related genes. Lastly, we found that putative TH response elements were present in the promoter of most CRF system components, further supporting the relationship between THs and the CRF system in teleosts. Collectively, our data reveal several novel mechanisms underlying crosstalk between THs and the central CRF system in teleost fishes and provide insight into the evolution of interactions between these hormone systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":16535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuroendocrinology","volume":" ","pages":"e70054"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144208774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In adults, impairments in neurogenesis commonly associate with anxiety and depressive behaviors. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is expressed in the choroid plexus (CP) within the subventricular zone (SVZ) neurogenic niche, and global loss of IGF2 leads to increased anxiety. Previously, we have shown that Igf2 expression in CP tissue increases 6-fold during lactation but returns to baseline on suppression of prolactin present in lactation, suggesting it is induced by high levels of prolactin. To gain more insight into the role of prolactin-induced Igf2 expression in the CP, we have measured IGF2 levels in cerebrospinal fluid across reproductive states and developed mice in which Igf2 is conditionally removed from the CP. Using CP-derived IGF2 knockout mouse models, we have measured Prlr expression in CP tissue, SVZ mitogenesis, olfaction, and anxiety-like behavior using an elevated plus maze (EPM) and light/dark transition test (LDTT). Interestingly, we observed a reduction in Prlr expression in CP tissue in one of our Igf2 knockout mouse models, suggesting Igf2 may also act upstream to regulate Prlr expression in CP tissue. No changes were detected in SVZ proliferation rates between Igf2 knockout and controls. Using a buried food test (BFT), however, we show mice with conditional loss of Igf2 in the CP take longer to find a buried fruit loop as compared to controls, indicating olfaction deficits. Overall anxiety levels, however, were comparable between knockout and controls in the EPM and LDTT. Together, our findings reveal loss of CP-derived IGF2 leads to hyposmia in the absence of detectable changes to SVZ mitogenesis. We propose that CP-derived IGF2 may be acting directly in the olfactory bulb to elicit changes to improve olfaction, which may become particularly important during the post-partum period to facilitate mother-pup interactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":16535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuroendocrinology","volume":" ","pages":"e70058"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144208775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many studies indicate that developmental nutritional stress can permanently alter a suite of physiological, morphological, or behavioral traits, yet the phenotypic effects of low food supply in the environment may vary depending on the mode and degree of parental care. For example, our previous work suggests that zebra finch (<i>Taeniopygia guttata castanotis</i>) parents can buffer offspring from food restriction, minimizing negative effects on offspring growth, at the cost of maintaining their own body mass. To evaluate the effects of whole nest food restriction on the offspring further, we investigated short- and long-term changes in physiological and morphological traits of zebra finch young exposed to either an <i>ad libitum</i> diet or a 40% restricted diet as nestlings and juveniles until 60 days post-hatch. Specifically, we measured furculum fat, the adrenocortical response, and glucose levels throughout development and into adulthood as well as body mass in adulthood to examine any latent or persistent effect. Young from the food-restricted nests overall had significantly higher baseline corticosterone and glucose compared to controls, suggesting that the previously observed parental buffering may not have been sufficient to mitigate the deleterious effects of food restriction. Furthermore, food-restricted birds had lower body mass compared to controls in adulthood, suggesting that there was a latent effect that manifested in adulthood, potentially due to the physiological costs observed during treatment and the later release of treatment. Furculum fat, the glucose response, and the adrenocortical response did not differ between experimental groups. There was also no difference in brood body size variance between treatment groups, and previously observed parental compensation in food-restricted nests did not correlate with offspring body mass in adulthood. Lastly, there was a significant negative relationship between body mass and baseline corticosterone in adulthood, suggesting that although growth and body mass were maintained during treatment, energy may have been redirected from growth and body mass maintenance to different processes in adulthood. This study further supports the need for measuring traits after treatment ends to determine persistent effects of stressors and highlights that parents cannot fully buffer their offspring from adverse environmental conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":16535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuroendocrinology","volume":"37 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144174035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
