| Abstract | Thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH), a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone produced in the pituitary, stimulates the thyroid gland and release of thyroid hormones. In contrast to a well-known efficacy of recombinant mammalian TSHs, there is no report about the production of teleost recombinant TSH and its biological activity. In this study, we report the production of a single-chain recombinant TSH (mtTSH) of Manchurian trout (Brachymystax lenok), by baculovirus in silkworm (Bombyx mori) larvae. The mtTSH was produced in silkworm larvae and characterized as a form of N-linked glycosylation. The cAMP signaling system in transiently transfected COS-7 cells revealed that the mtTSH was recognized by their cognate receptors, salmon TSHα and TSHβ receptors, but not LH receptor. The thyrotropic potency of the mtTSH was examined by rainbow trout basibranchial tissues containing thyroid follicles. The height of follicle epithelial cells was significantly increased by treatments of mtTSH in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, the present study suggests that the mtTSH produced by baculovirus–silkworm larvae is a biologically active recombinant TSH. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
