In adrenal fasciculata cells, the glucocorticoid secretion is under the control of ACTH, which binds specifically MC2-R, the only functional melanocortin receptor described in these cells to date. Nevertheless, using cultured bovine fasciculata adrenal cells, we report that Agrp has no antagonistic properties against ACTH at the level of MC2-R. In our studies, (Nle4, d-Phe7)-alphaMSH (NDP-alphaMSH) stimulated the production of cortisol in a dose-dependent manner, and these effects were abolished by Agrp or SHU9119, a synthetic antagonist of MC3-R and MC4-R. Using a more specific antagonist (JKC-363) and RT-PCR analysis, we can postulate that the effects of NDP-alphaMSH were mediated via MC4-R. These results are suggestive that adrenal glucocorticoid production could be regulated through MC4-R that may have some relevance in the physiology of adrenal cells. Moreover, Agrp might exert an autocrine control on adrenal cells because a protein with biological Agrp-like activity is secreted by these cells. This peptide could then modulate locally the functions of some peripheral tissues such as adrenals."xsd:string |
