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.

Project description:Congenital hypothyroidism is a genetic condition in which the thyroid gland fails to produce sufficient thyroid hormone (TH), resulting in metabolic dysfunction and growth retardation. Xb130-/- mice exhibit perturbations of thyrocyte cytoskeleton and polarity, develop postnatal transient growth retardation due to congenital hypothyroidism and leading to multinodular goiter in elderly. To determine the underlying mechanisms, we performed transcriptomic analyses on thyroid glands of mice at three age points – week 2 (W2, before visible growth retardation), W4 (at the nadir of growth), and W12 (immediately before full growth recovery. We compared gene expression between Xb130+/+ and Xb130-/- mice.

Project description:These experiments have systematically assessed the potential utility of transcriptomic endpoints as enhancements to the guaiacol assay. Previously, we demonstrated that benzophenone-2, benzophenone, perfluorooctane sulfonate, bisphenol A bis ether, and vinclozolin decreased TPO activity, and that dibutyl phthalate, carbaryl, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, and methylmercury increased TPO activity. In this study, we used human oligonucleotide chips to examine changes in the gene expression profile of FTC-238 human follicular thyroid carcinoma cells expressing human recombinant TPO, after exposure of the cells to TPO activity-disrupting agents.

Project description:As the global aging society intensifies, the incidence of thyroid diseases among the elderly is increasing annually, with hypothyroidism being particularly common. Studies have shown that in healthy elderly individuals, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are significantly elevated, while thyroid hormone (TH) levels are notably normal or decreased. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying thyroid aging and function remain unclear. To understand thyroid aging, it is essential to study the molecular and functional characteristics of various thyroid cell types during the aging process. We conducted single-cell sequencing of thyroids from different age groups and identified eight typical cell types and five thyroid epithelial cell subtypes (EPI). During aging, the expression levels of thyroid hormone synthesis-related genes (TSHR, TG, TPO) increased, suggesting that EPI cells adjust their gene expression patterns in response to elevated TSH. With advancing age, rhythmic disruption and cellular senescence signals accumulated in thyroid. Further analysis indicated that the senescent EPI cell subpopulation (CDKN1A_EPI) exhibited functional decline. Additionally, we unexpectedly found that the expression of the core circadian gene BMAL1 (ARNTL) was downregulated in the CDKN1A_EPI cells of elderly individuals. To verify this finding, we used a thyroid-specific knockout mouse model and found that BMAL1 downregulation inhibited NFKBIA expression, exacerbating cellular senescence. Finally, cell line knockout experiments and transcriptome sequencing further confirmed that BMAL1 knockout led to decreased expression of NF-kB Inhibitor Alpha (NFKBIA), a key mechanism driving thyroid cell senescence. This discovery not only reveals the relationship between thyroid cell aging and circadian rhythm disruption but also enriches our understanding of the mechanisms underlying thyroid aging.

Project description:An imbalance in thyroid hormones (THs) is associated with reversible dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. Whether hypothyroidism occurs in AD brains and how it affects AD pathology remain largely unknown. Here, we find that reduced conversion of thyroxine (T4) to tri-iodothyronine (T3) in the brain by decreased iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (DIO2) leads to hippocampal hypothyroidism in early AD model mice prior to TH changes in the blood. A TH deficiency causes immune tolerance with decreased phagocytic activity in microglia, thereby aggravating AD pathology. We demonstrate that microglial ecto-5’-nucleotidase (CD73) is reduced in the hypothyroid state and that its inhibition contributes to immune tolerance in microglia. Thus, our data define a molecular mechanism through which decreased conversion of T4 to T3 in the early AD brain, and consequent brain hypothyroidism causes microglial dysfunction and exacerbates AD pathology.

Project description:Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 play a crucial role in the regulation of vertebrate metabolism. The thyroglobulin (Tg) protein is key to thyroid hormone synthesis, and its structure is conserved among vertebrates. TgG is delivered through the secretory pathway to the lumen of the thyroid gland, where it is iodinated at specific tyrosine sites to form mono- or di-iodotyrosine, which combine to produce T3 and T4, respectively. The formation of these hormones depends on the precise 3D structure of thyroglobulin, which has remained unknown despite decades of research on this protein. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy structure of human thyroglobulin, to a global resolution of 3.2 Å. Our results offer structural insight into thyroid hormonogenesis and provide a framework to understand hundreds of clinically relevant mutations. The structure of hTg contributes to a better understanding and potentially improved treatment of thyroid hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer and other Tg disorders.

Project description:Deficiency in Krüppel-like zinc finger transcription factor, GLI-Similar 3 (GLIS3) in humans is associated with the development of congenital hypothyroidism. However, the functions of GLIS3 in the thyroid gland and by what mechanism GLIS3-dysfunction causes hypothyroidism are unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that GLIS3 acts downstream of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)/TSHR and is indispensable for TSH/TSHR-mediated induction of thyroid follicular cell proliferation and thyroid hormone biosynthesis. ChIP-Seq and promoter analysis revealed that GLIS3 is critical for the transcriptional activation of several genes required for thyroid hormone biosynthesis, including the iodide transporters Nis and Pds, indicating that these genes are directly regulated by GLIS3. The repression of cell proliferation regulatory genes is due to the inhibition of TSH-mediated activation of the mTORC1/RPS6 pathway as well as direct transcriptional regulation of several cell division-related genes by GLIS3. Consequently, GLIS3-deficiency prevents the development of goiter as well as the induction of inflammatory and fibrotic genes during chronic elevation of circulating TSH. Our study identifies GLIS3 as a new and key regulator of TSH/TSHR-mediated thyroid hormone biosynthesis and proliferation of thyroid follicular cells, and uncovers a mechanism by which GLIS3-deficiency causes congenital hypothyroidism and prevents goiter development.

Project description:The Th-inducing POK (Th-POK, also known as cKrox or ZBTB7B) transcription factor is a key regulator of lineage commitment of immature T cell precursors. It is yet unclear the physiological functions of Th-POK besides helper T cell differentiation. We found that Th-POK is restrictedly expressed in the luminal epithelial cells in the mammary glands. Th-POK is not required for mammary gland development in puberty and alveologenesis in pregnancy. Th-POK-deficient mice are defective in secretory activation upon parturition with large cellular lipid droplets retained within alveolar epithelial cells. We compared microarray gene expression in mammary glands of lactating wild-type or Th-POK-deficient mice. We show that Th-POK directly regulates expression of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and insulin-induced Akt-mTOR-SREBP signaling. Th-POK deficiency compromises IRS-1 expression and Akt-mTOR-SREBP signaling in the mammary glands. Thus, Th-POK function as an important regulator of insulin signaling in mammary gland lactation.
