Neonatal Thyroxine Activation Modifies Epigenetic Programming Of The Liver [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: In the neonatal liver, a peak of type 2 deiodinase (D2) activity accelerates local T3 production and the expression of thyroid hormone (TH)-responsive genes. Here we show that this acute increase in T3 signaling permanently modifies hepatic gene expression. Liver-specific Dio2 inactivation (Alb-D2KO) transiently increased H3K9me3 levels during post-natal days 1-5 (P1-P5) in discrete chromatin areas, and methylation of 1,508 DNA sites (H-sites) that remained in the adult mouse liver. These sites were associated with 1,551 areas of reduced chromatin accessibility (RCA; Atac-seq) within core promoters and 2,426 within intergenic regions, with reduction in the expression of 1,525 genes (RNA-seq). There was strong correlation between H-sites and RCA sites (r=0.85; p<0.0002), suggesting a cause-effect relationship. The analysis of chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data revealed a set of 57 repressed genes that have a promoter RCA in close contact with an intergenic RCA ~300 Kbp apart, including Foxa2 that plays an important role during development. Thus, the post-natal surge in hepatic D2 activity and TH-signaling prevents discrete DNA methylation and modifies the transcriptome of the adult mouse. This explains how the systemic T3 hormone acts locally during development to define future chromatin accessibility and expression of critically relevant hepatic genes.

Localized T3 production modifies the transcriptome and promotes the hepatocyte-like lineage in iPSC-derived hepatic organoidslineage in iPSC-derived hepatic organoids

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) levels are low during development, and the deiodinases control TH signaling through tissue-specific activation or inactivation of TH. Here we studied human iPSC-derived hepatic organoids and identified a robust induction in DIO2 expression (the deiodinase that activates T4 to T3) that occurs in hepatoblasts. The surge in D2-T3 persists until the hepatoblasts differentiate into hepatocytes- or cholangiocytes-like cells, neither of which express DIO2. Preventing the induction of the D2-T3 signaling modified the expression of key transcription factors, decreased the number of hepatocyte-like cells by ~60%, and increased the number of cholangiocyte-like cells by ~55% without affecting the growth or the size of the mature liver organoid. Physiological levels of T3 could not fully restore the transition from hepatoblasts to mature cells. This indicates that the timed surge in D2-T3 signaling critically determines the fate of developing human hepatoblasts and the transcriptome of the maturing hepatocytes, with physiological and clinical implications for how the liver handles energy substrates.

Triiodothyronine (T3) response in liver of FGF21 knockout mice

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) influences metabolic pathways by binding to specific receptors (TRs), which are conditional transcription factors. T3 works through TRs to induce fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21, a peptide hormone that is usually induced in fasting and influences lipid and carbohydrate metabolism via local hepatic and systemic endocrine effects. While administered TH and FGF21 display overlapping actions, including reductions in serum lipids, current models suggest that these hormones act independently in vivo. Here, we examined mechanisms of TH regulation of FGF21 expression and tested the possibility that FGF21 is required for induction of hepatic TH-responsive genes. We confirm that active TH (T3) and the TRβ selective thyromimetic GC-1 increase FGF21 transcript and peptide levels in mouse liver and that this effect requires TRβ. T3 also induces FGF21 in cultured hepatocytes and this effect involves direct actions of TRβ1, which binds a TRE within intron 2 of FGF21. Gene expression profiles in wild type and FGF21 knockout mice are highly similar indicating that FGF21 is dispensable for the majority of hepatic T3 gene responses. A small subset of genes displays diminished T3 response in the absence of FGF21. However, most of these are not obviously involved in T3-dependent hepatic lipid and carbohydrate metabolic processes. Accordingly, T3-dependent effects upon serum lipids are maintained in the FGF21-/- background. Our findings suggest that T3 regulates genes involved in classical hepatic metabolic responses independently of FGF21.

Hepatic thyroid hormone signalling modulates glucose homeostasis through the regulation of GLP-1 production via bile acid-mediated FXR antagonism [RNA-seq]

Project description:A greater understanding of the glucose homeostasis mediated by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) will facilitate the development of novel glucose-lowering treatments. Here we show that improved glucose metabolism in hypothyroid mice after treatment of T3, the active form of thyroid hormone (TH), is accompanied with increased GLP-1 production and insulin secretion. Treatment of a GLP-1 receptor antagonist is able to attenuate the observed T3 effect on insulin and glucose levels, suggesting that GLP-1 is critically involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis by T3. By using a mouse model lacking hepatic TH receptor β (TRβ) and a liver-specific TRβ-selective agonist, we demonstrate that TRβ-mediated hepatic TH signalling is not only required for the regulation of GLP-1 production by T3 but also the insulinotropic and glucose-lowering effects of T3. Accordingly, administration of the liver-targeted TRβ-selective agonist is capable of increasing GLP-1 and insulin levels and alleviating hyperglycemia in diet-induced obesity. Mechanistically, through suppressing CYP8B1 expression, T3 shapes the bile acid (BA) composition and increases the levels of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-antagonistic BAs, thereby potentiating the GLP-1 production and insulin secretion by repressing intestinal FXR signalling. Consistently, correlations between the T3 levels and either GLP-1 or FXR-antagonistic BA levels can be observed in euthyroid human subjects. Thus, our study reveals a previously undescribed role of hepatic TH signalling in glucose homeostasis through the regulation of GLP-1 production via BA-mediated FXR antagonism, which will underpin the development of novel therapeutics.

Brain gene expression in systemic hypothyroidism and in mouse models of MCT8 deficiency: The Mct8-Oatp1c1-Dio2 triad.

Project description:The monocarboxylate transporter 8 (Mct8) protein is a primary T4 and T3 (TH) transporter. Mutations of the MCT8-encoding, SLC16A2 gene alters thyroid function and thyroid hormone metabolism, and severely impairs neurodevelopment (Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, AHDS). Mct8-deficient mice manifest thyroid alterations but lack neurological signs. It is thought that Mct8 deficiency in mice is compensated by T4 transport through the Slco1c1-encoded organic anion transporter polypeptide 1c1 (Oatp1c1). This allows local brain generation of sufficient T3 by the Dio2-encoded type 2 deiodinase (D2). The Slc16a2/Slco1c1 (MO) and Slc16a2/Dio2 (MD) double knock out mice lacking T4 and T3 transport, or T3 transport and T4 deiodination, would be more approriate models of AHDS. The goal of this work was to compare the cerebral hypothyroidism of systemic hypothyroidism (SH) caused by thyroid gland blockade with that present in the double KOs.

Rewiring of liver diurnal transcriptome rhythms by triiodothyronine (T3) supplementation

Project description:Diurnal (i.e., 24-hour) physiological rhythms depend on transcriptional programs controlled by a set of circadian clock genes/proteins. Systemic factors like humoral and neuronal signals, oscillations in body temperature, and food intake align physiological circadian rhythms with external time. Thyroid hormones (THs) are major regulators of circadian clock target processes such as energy metabolism, but little is known about how fluctuations in TH levels affect the circadian coordination of tissue physiology. In this study, a high triiodothyronine (T3) state was induced in mice by supplementing T3 in the drinking water, which affected body temperature, and oxygen consumption in a time-of-day dependent manner. 24-hour transcriptome profiling of liver tissue identified 37 robustly and time independently T3 associated transcripts as potential TH state markers in the liver. Such genes participated in xenobiotic transport, lipid and xenobiotic metabolism. We also identified 10 – 15 % of the liver transcriptome as rhythmic in control and T3 groups, but only 4 % of the liver transcriptome (1,033 genes) were rhythmic across both conditions – amongst these several core clock genes. In-depth rhythm analyses showed that most changes in transcript rhythms were related to mesor (50%), followed by amplitude (10%), and phase (10%). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed TH state dependent reorganization of metabolic processes such as lipid and glucose metabolism. At high T3 levels, we observed weakening or loss of rhythmicity for transcripts associated with glucose and fatty acid metabolism, suggesting increased hepatic energy turnover. In sum, we provide evidence that tonic changes in T3 levels restructure the diurnal liver metabolic transcriptome independent of local molecular circadian clocks.

The role of microRNAs in hepatic thyroid hormone signalling

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are extensively in diverse biological processes. However, very little is known about the role of miRNAs in mediating thyroid hormones (TH) action. Maintenance of appropriate TH levels is known to be critically important for development, differentiation and maintenance of metabolic balance in mammals. We induced transient hypothyroidism in juvenile mice by short term exposure to methimazole and perchlorate from post natal day (PND) 12 to 15. The expression of miRNAs in the liver was analyzed with the Taqman Low Density Array (containing up to 600 rodent microRNAs). We found the expression of 40 miRNAs was significantly altered in the liver of hypothyroid mice compared to euthyroid controls. Among the miRNAs, miR-1/206/133 exhibited a massive increase in expression (50 – 500 folds). To further explore TH effect on miR-1/206/133, we treated mouse hepatocyte AML 12 cells with 10 nm T3 for 1 hr and 24 hrs. TH treatment induced the down-regulation of miR-1/206/133b at both time points, reaching statistical significance at 24 hrs. To identify the genes targeted by these miRNAs, DNA microarrays were used to examine hepatic mRNA levels in the hypothyroid mouse model alongside controls. We found transcripts from 92 known genes were significantly altered in hypothyroid mice. Web-based target predication softwares (TargetScan and Microcosm) identified 14 of these transcripts as targets of miR-1/106/133. The vast majority of these mRNA targets were significantly down-regulated in hypothyroid mice, corresponding well with the up-regulation of miR-1/206/133 in hypothyroid mouse liver. The results suggest that TH regulation of these genes may occur secondarily via the reduced repression consequent to TH-induced down-regulation of miR-1/206/133. These studies provide novel insight into the role of miRNAs in mediating TH regulation of gene expression.

Impaired T3 transport and action underlies the pathophisiology of the Allan-Herdon-Dudley syndrome

Project description:Patients with mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) cell transporter MCT8 gene develop severe neuropsychomotor retardation known as the Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS). It is assumed that this is caused by a reduction in TH signaling in the developing brain during both intrauterine and postnatal developmental stages, and treatment remains understandably challenging. Given species differences in brain TH transporters and the limitations of studies in mice, we generated cerebral organoids (COs) using human iPSCs from MCT8-deficient patients. We found that MCT8-deficient COs exhibit (i) alterations in early neurodevelopment, resulting in smaller neural rosettes with thinner cortical units, (ii) impaired T3 transport in developing neural cells, as assessed through deiodinase-3-mediated T3 catabolism, (iii) reduced expression of genes involved in cerebral cortex development, and (iv) reduced T3-inducibility of TH-regulated genes. In contrast, the TH-analogs 3,5-diiodothyropropionic acid and 3,3’,5-triiodothyroacetic acid triggered normal responses (induction/repression of T3-responsive genes) in MCT8-deficient COs, constituting a proof-of-concept that lack of T3 transport underlies the pathophysiology of AHDS, and demonstrating the clinical potential for TH analogues to be used in treating AHDS patients. MCT8-deficient COs represent a species-specific relevant preclinical model that can be utilized to screen drugs with potential benefits as personalized therapeutics for AHDS patients.
