Characterization of thyrotropin-induced increase in iodothyronine monodeiodinating activity in mice.

Abstract：

:To further characterize the effect of TSH administration on thyroid iodothyronine monodeiodinating activity, we have evaluated the in vitro conversion of T4 to T3 (outer ring deiodination) and T3 to 3,3'-diiodothyronine (T2; inner ring deiodination) by mouse thyroid, liver, and kidney homogenates, comparing tissues from TSH-treated mice (0.1-200 mU bovine TSH, ip, for 1-3 days) with tissues from saline-treated controls. The in vitro conversion activity was studied in the presence of 1-20 mM dithiothreitol; most of the studies were carried out at 4 mM. Studies were carried out at optimal pH 6.5 for outer ring and 7.8 for inner ring deiodination. The iodothyronine monodeiodinase in mouse thyroid is similar to the ones in liver and kidney. It is heat labile (inactivated at 56 C for 5 min), inhibited by propylthiouracil (0.2 mM) and ipodate (0.2 mM), and unaffected by methimazole (up to 20 mM), ascorbate (up to 0.1 M) or KI (up to 20 mM). The mean +/- SE baseline rates of T4 to T3 and T3 to T2 conversion were 100 +/- 6.3 and 56.5 +/- 2.9 pmol/mg thyroid protein X 30 min at 37 C, respectively. A significant increase in each conversion activity was found after TSH treatment (0.2 U, ip, daily for 3 days); T4 to T3 conversion rose to 282 +/- 15.4, and T3 to T2 increased to 153 +/- 7.4 pmol/mg thyroid protein (P less than 0.001). A 12.8% increase in thyroid weight was found in the TSH-treated group (P less than 0.03 compared with saline control group). Similar but less marked increased in monodeiodinating activities were seen in the liver. A minimal but significant increase in inner ring monodeiodination with no significant increase in T4 to T3 converting activity was found in kidney, which, in the mouse, has markedly less outer ring deiodinase than liver or thyroid. The iodothyronine monodeiodinating activities did not increase until 12 h in thyroid and 48 h in liver after the first dose of TSH. Significant increases in T4 to T3 and T3 to T2 conversion were seen with doses of TSH as low as 0.1 mU (ip, daily for 3 days), and there was a linear dose-response thereafter. The decay of the increased iodothyronine monodeiodinating activities after a single dose of TSH (0.2 U) appeared to be linear, with a decay t 1/2 of 1.3 days for T4 to T3 conversion and about 1.0 day for T3 to T2 conversion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
