Q

How are protein and polypeptide hormones synthesized and secreted

A

Preprohormone is synthesized in RER and then cleaved to a prohormone
Prohormone goes into the golgi - may be modified
Hormone is packaged into vesicles
The vesicles are stored in the cytoplasm and released via exocytosis when needed.

22
Q

How are steroid hormones synthesized and secreted

A

Made in mitrochondria and ER from cholesterol
Not stored
Since they are lipid soluble they are freely permeable (they are released as they are synthesized)

23
Q

The receptors for protein hormones are located ________________

A

ON the cell (rely on 2nd messengers)

24
Q

The receptors for steroid hormones are located _____________

A

IN cytoplasm (do not need 2nd messengers)

25
Examples of amino acid derivatives
Tyrosine derivatives 1. Thyroid hormones 2. Catecholamines
26
Compare and contrast the tyrosine derivative hormones (MOA, secretion, transport in blood)
1. Thyroid hormones - stored in large follicles and released into the blood after amine is split from thyrogloblumin, once secreted they act like steroid hormones (protein bound and has a receptor in the nucleus) 2. Catecholamines - taken up into preformed vesicles and stored, once secreted they act like protein hormones (water soluble, rely on second messengers)
27
What hormones are usually involved with ion channel linked receptors? What is the MOA?
Catecholamines, ACh - cause a change in the receptor = open or close one or more ion channels
28
What hormones use G-protein linked receptors?
Most hormones (FSH, GnRH, Oxytocin, Glucagon)
29
Describe the MOA of G-protein linked receptors
Inactive G - protein = Alpha, beta and gamma subunits + GDP Hormone binds on the extracellular part of the receptor and activates G-protein causing: 1. open or close of ion channels 2. change in activity of a cytoplasmic enzyme or 3. activates gene transcription Active G-protein (after hormone binds) GDP is displaced by GTP and the alpha subunit dissociates from beta and gamma Alpha subunit associates with other intracellular signaling proteins that can change cell function When hormone is removed alpha subunit converts the bound GTP to GDP and combines with beta and gamma subunits
30
What hormones use enzyme linked receptors?
``` Tyrosine kinase Leptin Insulin Prolactin ANP Growth factors (insulin like growth factor 1, VEGF) ```
31
Structurally, how are enzyme linked receptors different than G-protein linked receptors
G - protein linked receptors go through the membrane 7 times Enzyme linked receptors go through the membrane once
32
Describe the MOA of enzyme linked receptors
once the hormone binds on the outside of the cell an intracellular enzyme is activated (or inactivated)
33
What hormones use intracellular receptors?
Steroids Thyroid Retinol Vit D
34
Describe the MOA of intracellular receptors
Hormone just goes into cell (since its lipid soluble) The activated hormone-receptor complex binds to a specific promoter sequence of DNA - called hormone response element
35
What are second messengers involved in intracellular signaling?
cAMP Ca+Calmodulin Products of membrane phospholipid breakdown
36
Describe the role/MOA of cAMP as a second messenger
If a hormone binds to a stimulatory G protein receptor = cytoplasmic ATP catalyzed to cAMP cAMP can phosphorylate specific proteins and trigger cell response to hormone If a hormone binds to an inhibitory G protein receptor = adenylyl cyclase is inhibited and cAMP formation is reduced
37
Describe the role/MOA of Ca+calmodulin as a second messenger
Ca influx into cell and when 3-4/4 calmodulin sites are bound to Ca calmodulin undergoes a change in shape change shape can lead to phosphorylation of calmodulin dependent kinases
38
______________ catalyzes breakdown of phospholipids in the cell membrane (ie. phosphatidylinositol biphosphate) into ____________________ and ______________
Phospholipase C Inositol triphosphate - IP3 diacylglycerol - DAG
39
What is the MOA of IP3 as a second messenger?
mobilizes Ca ions from mitochondria and ER | Ca then acts as a 2nd messenger itself
40
What is the MOA of DAG?
Activates protein kinase C which then phosphorylates other proteins leading to cell responses
41
The cells from the ________ pituitary are epithelial in origin vs the cells from the ___________ are glial in origin.
Anterior | Posterior
42
Inhibition of ACTH production in the pars distalis is mediated by _______ and by __________ in the pars intermedius
Cortisol | Dopamine
43
Inhibition of ACTH production in the pars distalis is mediated by _______ and by __________ in the pars intermedius
CRH | Serotonin
44
The pars ___________ produces the majority of ACTH in dogs
Distalis
45
What are the physiologic effects of growth hormone?
Increased rate of protein deposition Increased mobilization of fats Decrease rate of glucose utilization in the body Promote cartilage and bone growth
46
What is the role of insulin like growth factor-1? | where is it produced?
mediates most of GH actions | produced in the liver
47
What are the physiologic effects of oxytocin?
contraction of pregnant uterus | milk let down
48
Secretion of ADH is stimulated by
Decreased blood pressure Decreased blood volume Increased osmolarity**
49
what is the site of action of ADH?
collecting tubules and collecting ducts
50
What is the MOA of ADH
binds to V2 receptor --> forms cAMP --> stimulates movement of aquaporin-2 which forms water channels on the luminal side = increased water permeability also causes vasoconstriction in response to low blood volume
51
List the 4 major steps of thyroid hormone synthesis
1. Iodide trapping 2. Thyroglobulin synthesis 3. Oxidation 4. Organification
52
The the thyroid hormone secreted ____% is T4 and ____% is T3
93% | 7%
53
Thyroid hormone is found in plasma bound to __________________ , _______________ and ________________
Thyroxine binding globulin** Thyroxine-binding prealbumin Albumin
