Abstract:

GT1-7 cell line is an ideal model to research GnRH secretion in vitro. In order to reveal the effects of kisspeptin and/or N-carbamylgulamate (NCG) on GnRH secretion, GT1-7 cells were used to evaluate the effect of kisspeptin and NCG alone or co-culture on cell proliferation and GnRH secretion. The results showed that either kisspeptin-10 or NCG could improve GT1-7 cell proliferation, co-culture with kisspeptin-10 and NCG presented a synergistic effect on cell number. Kisspeptin-10 challenge could stimulate GnRH secretion, but NCG showed an opposite effect. However, co-culture with kisspeptin-10 and NCG could compensate the decrease of GnRH secretion treated with NCG, under certain concentration of kisspeptin-10, NCG showed a dose-dependent increase of GnRH secretion. This work demonstrated the effects of kisspeptin and NCG on increasing GnRH secretion.


Key words: kisspeptin-10, N-carbamylgulamate, GT1-7 cells, gonadotropin-releasing hormone
