Morphological changes induced by insulin-like growth factor-I gene therapy in pituitary cell populations in experimental prolactinomas

In previous studies, we assessed the effects of intrapituitary injection of a recombinant adenoviral vector (RAd) harboring the cDNA for rat insulin-like growth factor type I (RAd-IGF-I) on the lactotrope and somatotrope populations in estrogen-induced prolactinomas. In the present study, we aimed t...

description In previous studies, we assessed the effects of intrapituitary injection of a recombinant adenoviral vector (RAd) harboring the cDNA for rat insulin-like growth factor type I (RAd-IGF-I) on the lactotrope and somatotrope populations in estrogen-induced prolactinomas. In the present study, we aimed to confirm these findings and further analyze the effect of transgenic RAd-IGF-I on the other pituitary cell populations in female rats. All animals except the intact group (no estrogen and no stereotaxic injection) received subcutaneous estrogen for 30 days, and the groups which received RAd-IGF-I or RAd expressing green fluorescent protein (control) were additionally treated with the appropriate vectors on experimental day 0. The RAd-IGF-I group showed a significant decrease in serum growth hormone and prolactin levels and lactotrope and somatotrope cell size induced by estrogen treatment. Cell density was not affected by 7 days of IGF-I gene therapy. Estrogen had an inhibitory effect on thyrotrope cell density, whereas with RAd-IGF-I there was a nonsignificant trend towards restoration of cell density, without changes in cell size. RAd-IGF-I treatment decreased corticotrope cell size without changing cell density. Estrogen decreased gonadotrope cell size and density, which was reversed by RAd-IGF-I. We conclude that in estrogen-induced pituitary tumors, IGF-I gene therapy has inhibitory effects on the lactotrope, somatotrope and corticotrope populations, while reversing the effect of estrogen on gonadotropic cells.
