Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) is a multifunctional hypophysiotropic neurohormone and has a stimulatory role in the control of reproduction in the grass puffer. To clarify the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying the effect of changes in water temperature on reproduction in fish, we previously revealed that, in parallel to gonadal regression, both low and high temperature significantly decreased the expressions of the genes encoding kisspeptin (kiss2), kisspeptin receptor (kiss2r), gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (gnrh1) in the brain and gonadotropin (GTH) subunits (fshb and Ihb) in the pituitary of sexually mature male grass puffer. In this study, we examined the changes in expression of gnih and GnIH receptor gene (gnihr) in the brain and pituitary along with the genes for growth hormone (gh) and prolactin (prl) in the pituitary of male grass puffer exposed to low temperature (14 degrees C), normal temperature (21 degrees C, as initial control) and high temperature (28 degrees C) conditions for 7 days. The levels of gnih and gnihr mRNAs were significantly decreased in both low and high temperature conditions compared to normal temperature in the brain and pituitary. Similarly, the gh mRNA levels were significantly decreased in both low and high temperature conditions. The prl mRNAs showed no significant changes at high temperature, whereas drastically decreased at low temperature possibly by dysfunctional cold stress. Taken together, the present results suggest that, in addition to the inhibitory effect of temperature changes on the Kiss2/GnRH1/GTH system, the suppression of GnIH/GH system may also be involved in the termination of reproduction by high temperature at the end of breeding season.
