Abstract

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation of its eponymous receptor on the surface of endocrine anterior pituitary gonadotrope cells (gonadotropes) initiates multiple signaling cascades that culminate in the secretion of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones, which have critical roles in fertility and reproduction. Enhanced luteinizing hormone biosynthesis, a necessary event for ovulation, requires a signaling pathway characterized by calcium influx through L-type calcium channels and subsequent activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). We previously reported that highly localized subplasmalemmal calcium microdomains produced by L-type calcium channels (calcium sparklets) play an essential part in GnRH-dependent ERK activation. Similar to calcium, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are ubiquitous intracellular signaling molecules whose subcellular localization determines their specificity. To investigate the potential influence of oxidant signaling in gonadotropes, here we examined the impact of ROS generation on L-type calcium channel function. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy revealed that GnRH induces spatially restricted sites of ROS ge...Continue Reading
