    Abstract The delivery of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in a pulsatile mode to the gonadotropes has long been known to be essential for normal reproductive function. There have been numerous studies aimed at dissecting out the mechanisms underlying GnRH pulse generation. The discovery of kisspeptin as an upstream regulator of GnRH attracted the possibility that pulsatile kisspeptin governed the pulsatile secretion of GnRH. Subsequent studies have shown the importance of the neurokinin B (NKB) system in modulating kisspeptin secretion and this GnRH. A number of studies in laboratory rodents have supported this notion. By contrast, we present data from clinical studies in men and women, in a range of contexts, showing that continuous infusion of kisspeptin 10 at receptor-saturating levels gives rise to an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) (GnRH) pulse frequency. This has been demonstrated in normal healthy and hypogonadal men, in normal women during the mid-cycle LH surge, in men and women with mutations in the genes encoding NKB or its receptor, neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R), in women with polycystic ovary syndrome treated with NK3R antagonist, and in women treated with NK3R antagonist during the LH surge. These finds indicate that pulsatile secretion and action of kisspeptin on GnRH neurons is not required for the generation of LH (GnRH) pulses in humans. We also report that there is an absence of desensitization in humans exposed to continuous infusion of kisspeptin-10 at receptor-saturating concentrations over 22 h and briefly review GnRH, kisspeptin and NKB analogs and their clinical application.

    Abstract Neurokinin B (NKB), a recently discovered neuropeptide, plays a crucial role in regulating the kiss-GnRH neurons in vertebrate's brain. NKB is also characterized in gonadal tissues; however, its role in gonads is poorly understood. Therefore, in the present study, the effects of NKB on gonadal steroidogenesis and gametogenesis through in vivo and in vitro approaches using NKB antagonist MRK-08 were evaluated. The results suggest that the NKB antagonist decreases the development of advanced ovarian follicles and germ cells in the testis. In addition, MRK-08 further reduces the production of 17β-estradiol in the ovary and testosterone in the testis under both in vivo and in vitro conditions in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the in vitro MRK-08 treatment of gonadal explants attenuated the expression of steroidogenic marker proteins, i.e., StAR, 3β-HSD, and 17β-HSD dose-dependently. Moreover, the MAP kinase proteins, pERK1/2 & ERK1/2 and pAkt & Akt were also downregulated by MRK-08. Thus, the study suggests that NKB downregulates steroidogenesis by modulating the expressions of steroidogenic marker proteins involving ERK1/2 & pERK1/2 and Akt/pAkt signalling pathways. NKB also appears to regulate gametogenesis by regulating gonadal steroidogenesis in the catfish.

    Abstract GnRH immunogens have been extensively employed in immunocontraception of animals. While they are effective, they are not 100% efficacious and of limited duration. GnRH secretion is dependent on upstream stimulation by kisspeptin. We therefore hypothesised that a dual immunogen combining GnRH and kisspeptin may be more efficacious through targeting two levels of the axis. We have previously shown GnRH immunogen elicits permanent sterilisation when sheep are vaccinated neonatally suggesting that the efficacy of GnRH immunisation may be dependent on the stage of reproductive development. We have now studied over 300 days the efficacy of immunisation with a dual immunogen comprising GnRH linked to kisspeptin via a hepatitis B T helper peptide sequence (GKT) administered to male and female rats prepubertally, pubertally and as adults. At all stages of development all immunised animals produced antibodies to GnRH, kisspeptin and GKT but differentially in titre with respect to sex and stage of development. In immunised adult, prepubertal and pubertal males testosterone and testes length was markedly reduced by 60 days and remained at low levels until day 150. Thereafter, testosterone recovered to pre immunisation levels and testes length increased to a maximum of about 40% of controls. 80% of males were infertile in three matings over 250 days. In prepubertal and pubertal female rats a single immunisation at day 0 reduced estradiol to low levels by day 60 which remained low until termination of the experiment on day 300. In matings of these females with fertile males on days 90, 120 and 250, 74% of prepubertal females were infertile and impressively, 100% (10/10) of pubertal females were infertile after a single immunisation on day 0. These findings set the scene for exploration of immunosterilisation of wild and domestic animals after a single immunisation.
