Pulsatile GNRH regulates the gonadotropin subunit genes in a differential manner, with faster frequencies favoring Lhb gene expression and slower favoring Fshb. Early growth response 1 (EGR1) is critical for Lhb gene transcription. We examined GNRH regulation of EGR1, and its two co-repressors Ngfi-A binding proteins 1 and 2 (NAB1 and NAB2), both in vivo and in cultured rat pituitary cells. In rats, fast GNRH pulses (every 30min) induced Egr1 primary transcript (PT) and mRNA stably 2-fold (p<0.05) for 1–24h. In contrast slow GNRH pulses (every 240min) increased Egr1 PT at 24h (6-fold; p<0.05), but increased Egr1 mRNA 4–5 fold between 4 and 24h. Both GNRH pulse frequencies increased EGR1 protein 3–4 fold. In cultured rat pituitary cells, GNRH pulses (every 60min) increased Egr1 (PT = 2.5–3 fold; mRNA = 1.5–2 fold; p<0.05). GNRH pulses had little effect on Nab1/2 PT/mRNAs either in vivo or in vitro. We also examined specific intracellular signaling cascades activated by GNRH. Inhibitors of Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases 8/9 (MAPK8/9 [aka JNK]; SP600125) and MAP Kinase Kinase 1 (MAP2K1 [aka MEK1]; PD98059) either blunted or totally suppressed the GNRH induction of Lhb PT and Egr1 PT/mRNA, whereas the MAPK14 (aka p38) inhibitor SB203580 did not. In summary, pulsatile GNRH stimulates Egr1 gene expression and protein in vivo, but not in a frequency dependent manner. Additionally, GNRH induced Egr1 gene expression is mediated by MAPK8/9 and MAPK1/3, and both are critical for Lhb gene transcription.
