    Abstract Growth hormone (GH) is secreted by somatotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. The classical effects of GH comprise the stimulation of cell proliferation, tissue and body growth, lipolysis, and insulin resistance. The GH receptor (GHR) is expressed in numerous brain regions. Notably, a growing body of evidence indicates that GH-induced GHR signaling in specific neuronal populations regulates multiple physiological functions, including energy balance, glucose homeostasis, stress response, behavior, and several neurological/cognitive aspects. The importance of central GHR signaling is particularly evident when the organism is under metabolic stress, such as pregnancy, chronic food deprivation, hypoglycemia, and prolonged exercise. These particular situations are associated with elevated GH secretion. Thus, central GH action represents an internal signal that coordinates metabolic, neurological, neuroendocrine, and behavioral adaptations that are evolutionarily advantageous to increase the chances of survival. This review summarizes and discusses recent findings indicating that the brain is an important target of GH, and GHR signaling in different neuronal populations regulates essential physiological functions.

    Abstract Despite landmark advances in cancer treatments over the last 20 years, cancer remains the second highest cause of death worldwide, much ascribed to intrinsic and acquired resistance to the available therapeutic options. In this review, we address this impending issue, by focusing the spotlight on the rapidly emerging role of growth hormone action mediated by two intimately related tumoral growth factors - growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1). Here, we not only catalog the scientific evidences relating specifically to cancer therapy resistance inflicted by GH and IGF1 but also discuss the pitfalls, merits, outstanding questions and the future need of exploiting GH-IGF1 inhibition to tackle cancer treatment successfully.

    Abstract Findings related to GH's biological activities have continued to be a fascinating topic over the past decade. Below, I will review several items related to the actions of GH including the GH/GHR interaction, pegvisomant (a GH receptor antagonist), GHR gene disruptions in mice, and clinical consequences of human GHR gene mutations.

    Abstract Despite decades of study on the contribution of growth hormone (GH) to the development of kidney disease, there remains the question of the relative contribution of elevated levels of GH to kidney damage in humans, particularly in diabetic nephropathy occurring in type 1 patients. In this study, we reviewed several publicly available datasets to examine transcription of twelve genes associated with the GH/IGF1 axis in several types of human and rodent kidney diseases. Our analyses revealed downregulation of renal GHR and IGF1 gene expression in several different chronic human kidney diseases, including diabetic nephropathy, with general upregulation of IGFBP6 in the same tissues and diseases. These findings were generally supported by a review of studies in rodent models. In healthy and diseased human kidneys, increased GHR gene expression was associated with increases in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and decreases in serum creatinine. IGFBP6 gene expression demonstrated the opposite clinical correlation. Our results suggest the kidney may exhibit GH insensitivity due to low GHR gene expression during most chronic kidney diseases.

    Abstract Female SV40 C3(1) T-antigen (C3(1)/TAg) transgenic mice develop mammary tumors that are molecularly similar to human basal-like breast cancers with 100% incidence at 16 weeks of age. To determine the requirement for growth hormone (GH) signaling in these tumors, genetic crosses were used to create cohorts of female mice that were homozygous for a floxed growth hormone receptor (Ghr) gene and carried one copy each of the Rosa-Cre-ERT2 transgene and the C3(1)/TAg transgene (Ghrflox/flox; Rosa-Cre-ERT2; C3(1)/TAg+/0 mice). When the largest mammary tumor reached 200 mm3, mice were treated with tamoxifen to delete Ghr or with vehicle as a control. An additional group of Ghrflox/flox; C3(1)/TAg+/0 mice were also treated with tamoxifen when the largest mammary tumor reached 200 mm3 as a control for the effects of tamoxifen. After 3 weeks, tumors in mice in which Ghr was deleted began to shrink while vehicle and tamoxifen treatment control mouse tumors continued to grow. Pathological analysis of tumors revealed similar growth patterns and varying levels of necrosis throughout all groups. A decrease in cancer cell proliferation in Ghr-/- tumors relative to controls was observed as measured by Ki67 immunohistochemistry labeling index. These data suggest that even established C3(1)/TAg mammary tumors are dependent on the GH/IGF-1 axis.
