Medullary thyroid carcinoma arises in the absence of prolactin signaling.

Abstract:

:Prolactin, a pituitary hormone, exerts pleiotropic effects in various cells. These effects are mediated by a membrane receptor highly expressed in many tissues. To analyze prolactin effects on the thyroid gland, we first identified prolactin receptor (PRLR) mRNAs by in situ hybridization. To further evaluate the physiologic relevance of PRLR actions in the thyroid in vivo, we used PRLR knockout mice. Whereas the histologic structure of thyroid of PRLR-null mice was not disturbed, we show that T4 levels are lower in null animals (13.63 +/- 2.98 versus 10.78 +/- 2.25 pmol/L in null mice), confirming that prolactin participates in the control of thyroid metabolism. To further investigate thyroid effects in mice, we measured body temperature and thyroid-stimulating hormone in young and adult male and/or female PRLR-null mice and their normal siblings. Surprisingly, in null animals, we saw medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) arising from parafollicular C cells producing calcitonin. The incidence of these carcinomas attained 41% in PRLR-null mice, whereas this malignant tumor occurs sporadically or as a component of the familial cancer syndrome in humans. This finding suggests that PRLR-null mice could represent a valuable animal model for MTC, which could be compared with existing MTC models. These observations suggest a possible link between the appearance of this carcinoma and the absence of prolactin signaling.
