Abstract
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) plays a pivotal role in control of reproduction and gonadal maturation in teleost fish. To investigate the action GnRH in black porgy (Acanthopagrus schlegeli), we examined the mRNA expression of GTH subunits (GTHalpha, FSHbeta, and LHbeta) in the pituitary as well as plasma estradiol-17beta (E(2)) level following treatment with a GnRH analog (GnRHa) in immature fish. The expression levels of GTH subunits mRNA and plasma E(2) level were increased after GnRHa injection. We were also able to identify three GnRH forms: salmon GnRH (sGnRH), seabream GnRH (sbGnRH) and chicken GnRH-II (cGnRH-II) by cDNA cloning in the ovary of the black porgy. Black porgy gonadal development is divided into seven stages, involving sex change from male to female (immature testis, mature testis, testicular portion of mostly testis, ovarian portion of mostly testis, testicular portion of mostly ovary, ovarian portion of mostly ovary, and mature ovary). In the present study, we investigated the expression pattern of three GnRH molecular forms in the black porgy gonads at different stages of gonadal development by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). The mRNA expressions of sGnRH, sbGnRH and cGnRH-II were fo...Continue Reading
