The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), one of the potent tumor promoting agents, on GH, TSH and PRL release by rat adenohypophyseal dispersed cells and fragments, using a superfusion technique. TPA (10(-6) to 10(-5) M) stimulated GH release from acutely dispersed rat adenohypophyseal cells. Neither TSH nor PRL was affected, but both were increased by TRH in a dose-dependent fashion (10(-9) to 10(-7) M). In fragments, TPA (10(-8) to 10(-6) M) elicited a dose-related release of GH. Exposure of the fragments to 10(-6) M TPA for 5 min promptly caused a 5-fold increase in GH release which continued for at least 40 min after stopping the stimulation. The addition of somatostatin (SRIF) (10(-7) M) decreased basal GH release and abolished GH release induced by 10(-6) M TPA. In contrast to GH, neither TSH nor PRL release was affected by TPA, but both were stimulated by TRH. These results indicate 1) that GH release is more sensitive to stimulation with TPA in normal rat anterior pituitaries in vitro than the release of TSH and PRL, and 2) that SRIF abolishes TPA-induced GH release.
