Indeed, we have shown that, in mice with GHRH gene ablation (GHRH knockout; GHRHKO), even twice-daily injections of a GHRH analog are unable to normalize growth. CJC-1295 is a synthetic GHRH analog that selectively and covalently binds to endogenous albumin after injection, thereby extending its half-life and duration of action. We report the effects of CJC-1295 administration in GHRHKO animals. Three groups of 1-wk-old GHRHKO mice were treated for 5 wk with 2 \u03bcg of CJC-1295 at intervals of 24, 48, and 72 h. Placebo-treated GHRHKO mice and mice heterozygous for the GHRHKO allele served as controls. GHRHKO animals receiving daily doses of CJC-1295 exhibited normal body weight and length. Mice treated every 48 and 72 h reached higher body weight and length than placebo-treated animals, without full growth normalization. Femur and tibia length remained normal in animals treated every 24 and 48 h. Relative lean mass and subcutaneous fat mass were normal in all treated groups. CJC-1295 caused an increase in total pituitary RNA and GH mRNA, suggesting that proliferation of somatotroph cells had occurred, as confirmed by immunohistochemistry images. These findings demonstrate that treatment with once-daily administration of CJC-1295 is able to maintain normal body composition and growth in GHRHKO mice. The same dose is less effective when administered every 48 or 72 h.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpendo.00201.2006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,6]],"date-time":"2006-07-06T08:54:25Z","timestamp":1152176065000},"page":"E1290-E1294","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Once-daily administration of CJC-1295, a long-acting growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, normalizes growth in the GHRH knockout mouse"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"291","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"Alba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danilo","family":"Fintini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessia","family":"Sagazio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Betty","family":"Lawrence","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Paul","family":"Castaigne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lawrence A.","family":"Frohman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Salvatori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/en.2004-0119"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/en.2004-1044"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ghir.2005.05.001"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpendo.00203.2005"},{"key":"R5","unstructured":"Benquet C, Castaigne JP, Pham K, Robitaille M, and Frohman LA.CJC-1295 (DAC-GRF), a long acting GRF analog, enhances pulsatile GH secretion, increases IGF-1 levels, and restores linear growth (Abstract).86th Annual Meeting of The Endocrine Society, 2004, p.
