Nonsuppressible insulin-like activity and thyroid hormones: major pituitary-dependent sulfation factors for chick embryo cartilage (original) (raw)

Abstract

Serum from hypothyroid hypophysectomized rats did not stimulate sulfation or incorporation of amino acids into chick embryo sterna. When such rats were treated for a short time with growth hormone (somatotropin), their serum stimulated incorporation both of sulfate and of amino acids. The different actions of the two types of sera were not due to changes in thyroid state. The results support the existence in serum of a sulfation factor for chick embryo cartilage that is dependent upon growth hormone. Highly purified preparations of nonsuppressible insulin-like activity from human serum stimulated incorporation of amino acids, and of uridine into RNA, in chick embryo sterna in vitro; chondrocytes prepared from this tissue had specific high-affinity binding sites for this insulin-like activity. However, sulfate incorporation was stimulated very little, unless serum from hypothyroid hypophysectomized rats was also present. When L-3,5,3'-triiodothyronine was added as well, the stimulation was enhanced further. From these and other experiments, we conclude that (i) nonsuppressible insulin-like activity or a closely related peptide is the growth-hormone-dependent growth and sulfation factor for chick embryo cartilage: (ii) a second, unidentified factor must be present for the insulin-like activity to stimulate sulfation; and (iii) stimulation of sulfation by thyroid hormones in vitro is additive to that of nonsuppressible insulin-like activity.
