Growth hormone (GH) signaling plays a key role in mediating growth, development, metabolism, and lifespan regulation. However, the mechanisms of longevity regulation at the cellular and molecular level are still not well-understood. An important area in the field of GH research is in the development of advanced transgenic systems for conditional expression of GH signaling in a cell type- or tissue-specific manner. There have been many recent studies conducted to examine the effects of tissue-specific GHR disruption. This review updates our previous discussions on this topic and summarizes recent data on the newly-made tissue-specific GHR-KO mice including intestinal epithelial cells, bone, hematopoietic stem cells, cardiac myocytes, and specific brain regions. The data from these new genetically-engineered mice have a significant impact on our understanding of the local GH signaling function.

Several mouse lines with congenital growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis disruption have shown improved health and extended lifespan. The current study investigated how inactivating this axis, specifically during aging, impacts the healthspan. We used a tamoxifen-inducible global GH receptor (GHR) knockout mouse model starting at 12 months and followed the mice until 24 months of age (iGHRKO mice).

Background: Children with pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 (PAPP-A2) mutations resulting in low levels of bioactive insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) and progressive postnatal growth retardation have improved growth velocity and height following recombinant human (rh)IGF1 treatment. The present study aimed to evaluate whether Pappa2 deficiency and pharmacological manipulation of GH/IGF1 system are associated with sex-specific differences in growth-related signaling pathways.
Methods: Plasma, hypothalamus, pituitary gland and liver of Pappa2 mice of both sexes, showing reduced skeletal growth, and liver of these mice treated with rhGH, rhIGF1 and rhPAPP-A2 from postnatal day (PND) 5 to PND35 were analyzed.

Much of our understanding of growth hormone's (GH)'s numerous activities stems from studies utilizing GH receptor (GHR) knockout mice. More recently, the role of GH action has been examined by creating mice with tissue-specific or temporal GHR disruption. To date, 37 distinct GHR knockout mouse lines have been created.

Feeding approaches for ruminants are changing to reduce N excretion as a major source of pollution. Based on the ruminohepatic cycle of N, it was assumed that the metabolism of ruminants could tolerate a reduced-protein diet well. However, metabolic changes such as a reduction in hepatic IGF1 mRNA expression, resulting in lower blood IGF1 levels due to decreased hepatic growth hormone receptor (GHR) expression, were found.

Both growth hormone (GH) and gut microbiota play significant roles in diverse physiological processes, but the crosstalk between them is poorly understood. Despite the regulation of GH by gut microbiota, study on GH's influence on gut microbiota is limited, especially on the impacts of tissue specific GH signaling and their feedback effects on the host. In this study, we profiled gut microbiota and metabolome in tissue-specific GHR knockout mice in the liver (LKO) and adipose tissue (AKO).
