Abstract：
:Transthyretin is the major thyroxine-binding protein in the plasma of rodents, and the main thyroxine-binding protein in the cerebrospinal fluid of both rodents and humans. The choroid plexus synthesizes transthyretin and secretes it to the cerebrospinal fluid. Although it was suggested that transthyretin might play an important role in mediating thyroxine transfer from the blood into the brain across the choroid plexus-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, newer findings question this hypothesis. Because thyroid hormone passage across brain barriers is a precondition for its action in the CNS, and because brain is an important target of thyroid hormone action, we investigated the role of transthyretin in mediating thyroid hormone access to and distribution within the brain in a transthyretin-null mouse model system. In this report we describe the results derived from use of film autoradiography, a technique that yields definitive morphological results. Film autoradiograms were prepared at 3 and 19 h after intravenous injection of either high specific activity [(125)I]thyroxine or [(125)I]triiodothyronine. Image analyses were designed to demonstrate regional changes in hormone distribution, and to highlight alterations in iodothyronine delivery from ventricles to brain parenchyma. We find no qualitative or quantitative differences in these parameters between the transthyretin-null and the wild-type mouse brain after either [(125)I]thyroxine or [(125)I]triiodothyronine administration. The data presented here now provide definitive evidence that, under standard laboratory conditions, transthyretin is not required for thyroid hormone access to or distribution within the mouse brain. This study also provides the first map of iodothyronine distribution in the brain of the mouse.
