GnRH is the primary stimulus in the regulation of gonadotropin subunit mRNA expression. Additionally, local (pituitary) production of activin and follistatin appear to modulate the expression of FSH beta mRNA. The current studies aimed to determine whether GnRH regulation of pituitary activin (beta-B) and follistatin mRNAs could play a role in the differential actions of GnRH pulse pattern on gonadotropin mRNA expression in female rats. In response to altered GnRH pulse amplitude, the expression of FSH beta and follistatin mRNAs followed an inverse pattern. Only high dose GnRH increased expression of follistatin whereas, in contrast, beta-B and FSH beta expression were increased following lower doses of GnRH. To determine whether increased follistatin mRNA expression was correlated with FSH beta mRNA responses, we examined their temporal relationship following high dose GnRH. Both FSH beta and follistatin mRNAs were increased within 2 h and remained increased through 6 h. However, by 12 h FSH beta mRNA levels returned to values seen in controls, suggesting that increased follistatin requires 6-12 h to reduce FSH beta mRNA. In response to altered GnRH pulse frequency, FSH beta expression was increased at all pulse intervals (8-240 min) examined. Rapid GnRH pulse frequencies (8-min intervals) increased follistatin expression, whereas beta-B mRNA was only increased after 30-min pulse intervals, which also resulted in maximal FSH beta mRNA concentrations. These results suggest that changes in pituitary activin (beta-B) and follistatin mRNA expression may be important components of gonadotrope responses to pulsatile GnRH, and potentially imply that GnRH stimulation of activin and follistatin peptide production provides regulatory control over the production of FSH.
