Hepatic prolactin binding is rapidly altered by endotoxin in lactating mice

Endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, produces profound physiologic changes in most mammals. The effects of LPS on ovine prolactin (oPRL) binding by hepatic membranes of lactating mice is explored in this report. Specific /sup 125/I-oPRL binding by liver membranes from LPS-responder C3HfB/HeN mice increased two-fold within fifteen minutes of the injection of LPS, while no change was observed in the non-responder C3H/HeJ mice. Specific /sup 125/I-insulin binding did not change. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding of oPRL to C3HfB/HeN liver membranes indicated that within fifteen minutes of LPS injection, a receptor of differing binding affinity appears and then disappears by one hour post-injection. The authors propose that these rapid alterations in the specific binding of oPRL by liver membranes from LPS-injected, lactating C3HfB/HeN mice are due to the transient creation or unmasking of a novel class of PRL receptor. 32 references, 6 figures.
