The maturity of female eels was divided into four stages: juvenile, sub-adult, pre-silver, and silver stages based on ovarian development and skin color. The GTH II-β cDNA was cloned by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification from total pituitary RNA. The full length GTH II-β cDNA was obtained using 5′- and 3′-rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The cloned eel GTH II-β cDNA consists of 646bp nucleotides, including 53bp nucleotides of 5′-untranslated region (UTR), 423bp of open reading frame, and 170bp nucleotides of 3′-UTR followed by a poly(A) tail. It encodes a 140-amino acid precursor molecule of GTH II-β subunit with a putative signal peptide of 24 amino acids and a mature peptide of 116 amino acids. RT-PCR analysis showed that the pituitary transcript levels of α subunit steadily increased during eel silvering. The expression of GTH I-β and II-β mRNA levels, however, varied in different ovarian developmental stages. The mRNA expression of both GTH I-β and GTH II-β were detectable in juvenile stage. The expression levels of GTH II-β mRNA, but not GTH I-β, were significantly increased in sub-adult stage. The transcript levels of GTH I-β and II-β subunits further increased in pre-silver and silver stages. We demonstrated for the first time that the differential transcription patterns of pituitary PGH-α, GTH I-β, and GTH II-β mRNAs occur during silvering of the wild female Japanese eels. © 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).
