GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) can induce proliferation of somatotroph cells. The pathway involving adenylyl cyclase/cAMP/protein kinase A pathway in its target cells seems to be important for this action, or at least it is deregulated in some somatotroph pituitary adenomas. We studied in this work whether GHRH can also stimulate mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. GHRH can activate MAP kinase both in pituitary cells and in a cell line overexpressing the GHRH receptor. Although both protein kinase A and protein kinase C could activate MAP kinase in the CHO cell line studied, neither protein kinase A nor protein kinase C appears to be required for GHRH activation of MAP kinase in this system. However, sequestration of the βγ-subunits of the G protein coupled to the receptor inhibits MAP kinase activation mediated by GHRH. This pathway also involves p21ras and a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, probably phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-γ. Despite the involvement of p21ras, the protein kinase Raf-1 is not hyperp...
