Growth hormone (GH) production by GH1rat pituitary tumor cells in iron restricted serum-free defined medium requires apotransferrin (apoTf) and triiodothyronine (T3). As measured by radioimmunoassay, apoTf plus T3induced GH levels 2 to 4-fold above controls. Deletion of either apoTf or T3arrested GH secretion. ApoTf/T3defined medium regulated GH production as effectively as whole serum. Because glucocorticoids enhance GH secretion in serum containing cultures, the effects of dexamethasone were evaluated in apoTf/T3defined medium. The steroid hormone showed no enhancing effects unless the cells were exposed to serum prior to incubation in apoTf/T3defined medium. Even under these conditions, the response to dexamethasone remained T3dependent. These observations indicate that a yet to be characterized serum factor(s), other than apoTf, regulates the reponse to the steroid hormone. This is the first report of thyroid hormone regulation of GH secretion by rat pituitary tumor cells under completely serum-free chemically defined conditions.
