Abstract

This study provided the first analysis of the distribution of a CXCL14-like chemokine in the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) pituitary using immunohistochemical techniques. CXCL14-immnoreactive cells were observed in the rostral part of the pars distalis (RPD) and the pars intermedia (PI). The CXCL14-immunoreactive cells were found to correspond to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing cells in the RPD and α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (αMSH)-producing cells in the PI. Therefore, the CXCL14 secreted from the αMSH-producing cells and ACTH-producing cells in the pituitary may participate in the modulation of insulin secretion, as well as energy metabolism, together with αMSH and/or ACTH via endocrine mechanisms.
