We investigated the regulation of type I iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase (5'-D) gene expression by TSH and T3 in FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells. Northern blot analysis revealed that these cells express a 5'-D messenger RNA (mRNA) species of 2.1 kilobases. Readdition of TSH to FRTL-5 cells, precultured in both thyroid hormones and TSH-depleted medium for 4 days, increased 5'-D mRNA levels, reaching a maximum (2.8-fold compared to control) after 12 h of TSH (10 microU/ml) stimulation. Dibutyryl cAMP (DBC) and forskolin mimicked this stimulatory effect of TSH on 5'-D mRNA levels. T3 also increased the 5'-D mRNA levels, reaching a maximum (2-fold compared to control) after 8 h of T3 (10(-9) M) stimulation. Addition of TSH (10 microU/ml) or DBC (1 mM) together with T3 (10(-9) M) further increased 5'-D mRNA levels, reaching a maximum (5-fold compared to control) after 12 h of stimulation. Examination of the rate of disappearance of 5'-D mRNA levels after inhibition of mRNA transcription by actinomycin-D revealed that neither TSH nor T3 significantly affected the rate of disappearance. Cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, almost completely blocked the induction of 5'-D mRNA by TSH and DBC, but did not block the induction by T3. These results suggest that both TSH and T3 increase 5'-D mRNA levels probably by increasing transcription rate, and that TSH regulates it, in part via the second messenger cAMP, for which cycloheximide-sensitive de novo protein synthesis is required, whereas T3 does without requiring it.
我们研究了促甲状腺激素(TSH)和三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T3)对FRTL-5大鼠甲状腺细胞中I型碘甲状腺原氨酸5'-脱碘酶(5'-D)基因表达的调控。Northern印迹分析显示,这些细胞表达一种2.1千碱基的5'-D信使核糖核酸(mRNA)。将预先在甲状腺激素和TSH耗尽的培养基中培养4天的FRTL-5细胞重新添加TSH,可增加5'-D mRNA水平,在TSH(10微单位/毫升)刺激12小时后达到最大值(与对照相比增加2.8倍)。二丁酰环磷腺苷(DBC)和福斯可林模拟了TSH对5'-D mRNA水平的这种刺激作用。T3也增加了5'-D mRNA水平,在T3(10⁻⁹ M)刺激8小时后达到最大值(与对照相比增加2倍)。将TSH(10微单位/毫升)或DBC(1毫摩尔)与T3(10⁻⁹ M)一起添加可进一步增加5'-D mRNA水平,在刺激12小时后达到最大值(与对照相比增加5倍)。在用放线菌素-D抑制mRNA转录后,检测5'-D mRNA水平的消失速率,结果显示TSH和T3均未显著影响消失速率。蛋白质合成抑制剂环己酰亚胺几乎完全阻断了TSH和DBC对5'-D mRNA的诱导,但未阻断T3的诱导。这些结果表明,TSH和T3可能都通过增加转录速率来提高5'-D mRNA水平,并且TSH部分通过第二信使环磷腺苷来调节它,这需要环己酰亚胺敏感的从头蛋白质合成,而T3的调节则不需要。
