Total and specific activity of cardiac NaK-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) in the rat varied parallel with the thyroid state. The functional state of the thyroid altered the number of NaK-ATPase molecules in the cell; the catalytic activity (turnover number) of individual enzyme molecules did not change. Sensitivity of NaK-ATPase to its specific inhibitor, ouabain, (as estimated from the half-maximal inhibitory concentration of ouabain) was lower in hypothyroidism but remained unchanged in hyperthyroidism relative to the euthyroid state. Action of thyroid hormones appeared to be selective for NaK-ATPase as shown by the behavior of another enzyme of the sarcolemma, adenyl cyclase. Adenyl cyclase of the heart was not affected by hyperthyroidism but was significantly elevated in hypothyroidism relative to euthyroid controls.

Genetically obese (ob/ob) mice, mice that became obese after treatment with gold thioglucose, and lean animals were studied in the euthyroid state, after induction of hypothyroidism, and after treatment with triiodothyronine. The activity of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (sn-glycerol-3-phosphate:(acceptor) oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.99.5] was reduced in the livers from hypothyroid animals and was increased by treatment with triiodothyronine in all groups. The activity of the ouabain-suppressible sodium- and potassium-dependent ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase; EC 3.6.1.3) was increased by triiodothyronine and reduced by hypothyroidism in the lean and gold thioglucose-treated obese animals. In the obese (ob/ob) mice, on the other hand, treatment with triiodothyronine did not increase the activity of this enzyme, which remained at the level found in hypothyroid animals. This enzymatic activity was reduced in both liver and kidney. Adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing); EC 4.6.1.1] activity in liver membranes, however, was similar in all three groups of mice. This enzyme complex was activated by glucagon and was unaffected by treatment with thyroid hormones. The lack of a thyroid-dependent ouabain-suppressible (Na(+) + K(+))-ATPase in the tissues of the obese (ob/ob) mouse could explain most, if not all, of the abnormalities that have been described in this animal.

The effect of hypothyroidism on cerebral and cerebellar synaptosome development has been studied. Neonatal hypothyroidism was induced following addition of 0.3% propylthiouracil to the diet of nursing mothers. Maturation profiles of total synaptosome fraction and specific activities of lactate dehydrogenase, Na+K ATPase, cytochrome c oxidase, and protein were obtained from days 6 to 32 on synaptosomes isolated from Ficoll-sucrose gradients. The greatest changes were found in the total activities of enzymes isolated from the cerebellum. Hypothyroidism induced a retardation of LDH and cytochrome c oxidase in cerebellar synaptosomes, but no change in corresponding specific activities. Maximum rates of 14C-leucine incorporation into cerebellar synaptosome protein was found at 16-20 days, after which a rapid decline occurred to adult levels at 32 days. In neonatal hypothyroidism, synthesis was significantly reduced at 8 and 14 days, but reached control levels or above at 21--32 days. In the cerebrum, maximum rates of 14C-leucine incorporation into synaptosome protein were identified at 8--12 days in normal with a rapid drop to adult levels at approximately 20 days. In neonatal hypothyroidism, peak activities were identified at 14 days and increased activities over control were noted at 14, 20 and 30 days. These observations demonstrate the sensitivity of the developing cerebellar synaptic apparatus to neonatal hypothyroidism, with a protraction in the peak levels of synaptosome protein synthesis in cerebrum and cerebellum.

We conducted the present studies in intact animals to assess alterations in integrated cardiovascular function due to hypothyroidism. Rats were surgically thyroidectomized or sham operated. Most obvious among the alterations detected under resting conditions was the bradycardia present in hypothyroid animals. Cardiac output was significantly reduced by slower heart rate; however, mean arterial blood pressure and left ventricular +dP/dt were maintained. Total peripheral resistance was increased in hypothyroid animals. Functional responsiveness to hemodynamic challenges unmasked additional characteristics. Thyroidectomized animals had normal stroke index-left ventricular end diastolic pressure relationships in response to rapid volume infusion. Peak left ventricular +dP/dt response to brief aortic occlusion was attenuated in thyroidectomized animals. Hypothyroid rats failed to augment left ventricular -dP/dt in response to isoproterenol challenge. Moreover, isoproterenol failed to reduce total peripheral resistance in the hypothyroid rat. Therefore, the hemodynamic responses observed in the intact, hypothyroid animal are consistent with the presence of (a) decreased cardiac contractile protein ATPase, (b) reduced calcium uptake by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and (c) altered vascular adrenergic receptors. Many cellular and subcellular defects are compensated by integrative mechanisms operating under resting conditions, while other defects are unmasked only when examined in the intact, functional cardiovascular system undergoing hemodynamic challenge.

The rate of response to thyroid hormone on cardiac growth, heart rate, and the relative changes in messenger RNA (mRNA) coding for alpha- and beta-myosin heavy chain (MHC), slow sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-adenosine triphosphatase, and thyroid hormone receptors in ventricular tissue of hypothyroid rats was investigated. Hypothyroid rats had significantly smaller hearts, with slower heart rates and expressed no alpha-MHC mRNA as analyzed by an S1 nuclease protection assay when compared to euthyroid animals that expressed 79% alpha-MHC. Twelve hours after treating hypothyroid rats with 20 micrograms of L-T4, detectable levels of alpha-MHC mRNA were present and the shift to alpha-MHC mRNA was complete by 72 h of treatment. Northern blot analysis showed that hypothyroidism resulted in a 60% decrease in the level of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-adenosine triphosphatase mRNA which increased after 12 h of T4 administration and was 2.5-fold (P less than 0.05) greater than euthyroid levels after 72 h. In contrast, thyroid hormone receptor mRNA levels measured in poly(A)+ RNA were elevated in hypothyroid rats and decreased to euthyroid levels within 24 h after thyroid hormone treatment. These changes in cardiac gene expression occurred simultaneously with changes in both cardiac size and heart rate. The current studies characterize the coordinated changes and the time course for gene expression that occur in the hypothyroid heart after acute T4 administration.

We have attempted to elucidate the effect of thyroid hormone on phospholipase C-linked inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in the rat hypothalamus. Hypothalamic slices of each animal, euthyroid control, hypothyroid, and thyroxine (T4)-supplemented hypothyroid rats were labeled with [3H]myoinositol in the presence of 5 mM LiCl, and then incubated for 60 min in KHG buffer containing either vehicle or 1 mM ouabain, a Na-K ATPase inhibitor. Hypothyroidism caused a significant increase in both basal and ouabain-stimulated accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphate ([3H]IP) in hypothalamic slices, whereas supplement with T4 to hypothyroid rats resulted in a complete restoration of hypothalamic [3H]IP formation to the value of euthyroid control. The present results indicate that thyroid hormone affects phospholipase C-linked inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in the hypothalamus, suggesting that negative feedback action of thyroid hormone may occur at a post-receptor site in the hypothalamus.

It is known that Na-K,adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) in cell membranes represents an important consumer of cellular energy, eg, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and that the concentration and activity of this enzyme change in a dose-dependent manner with serum thyroid hormone levels. To examine the hypothesis that low triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome represents a cellular adaptation in generalized severe illnesses that saves tissue energy expenditure, we measured the muscle Na-K,ATPase concentration and its activity in rats that led to low T3 syndrome induced by fasting. The Na-K,ATPase concentration was measured by 3H-ouabain binding to soleus muscle, and its activity was measured by 42K uptake in the contralateral soleus muscle. The effects of refeeding or T3 administration on Na-K,ATPase in soleus muscle in fasted rats were also examined. Na-K,ATPase concentration and activity were both increased in hyperthyroid rats and decreased in hypothyroid rats. In the fasting state, they were decreased to as low as the levels seen in hypothyroidism. Furthermore, with fasting + refeeding or fasting + T3 administration, Na-K,ATPase in soleus muscle returned to the normal level. These results suggest that tissue energy expenditure, as assessed by Na-K,ATPase, in skeletal muscles of fasted rats with low T3 syndrome is actually decreased to levels seen in hypothyroidism, due at least partly to the decrease in serum T3 concentrations, and that there exist some adaptation mechanisms in the peripheral tissues for the accommodation of energy metabolism in the body through decreased thyroxine (T4) to T3 conversion.

Patients with thyroid deficiency often complain of muscular weakness, exercise intolerance, cramps and excessive fatiguability. Hypothyroidism induces a metabolic myopathy, with a fall of the energetic production, and especially of the mitochondrial metabolism. This is due to a global inhibition of the main oxidative pathways (substrate incorporation, substrate oxidation) and of the respiratory chain. A diminished energetic consumption is partially related to a transition in the myosin isoforms, which express a slower ATPase, and to an impairment of the trans-sarcolemic transports. Exercise intolerance could be due to an abnormal recruitment of several metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, related to the mitochondrial metabolism impairment, and including an abnormal accumulation of protons and monovalent phosphate ions, which are involved in the alteration of the actin-myosin interaction, and also by an abnormal Ca++ metabolism. The decreased number of NA+/K+ ATPase dependent pumps could imply an abnormal intracellular Na+ level and explain the frequent disorders of the membrane excitability.

The thyroid status markedly influences the contractile function of muscle, and changes in the activity of the Ca2+ ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) contribute to these alterations. Two separate genes encode the major isoforms of SR Ca2+ ATPase. In fast skeletal muscle, sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase type 1 (SERCa1) presents the major isoform, whereas in slow skeletal muscle SERCa type 2 (SERCa2) predominates. Cardiac muscle contains only SERCa2. To examine the mechanisms responsible for changes in contractile function, we quantitated SERCa1 and SERCa2 mRNA levels in fast extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL), slow soleus muscle, and cardiac muscle in rats of different thyroid status. Hypothyroidism led in soleus to a marked decrease in SERCa1 mRNA and SERCa2 mRNA levels, in cardiac muscle SERCa2 mRNA decreased markedly, as previously shown by us, and in EDL SERCa1 mRNA decreased. These findings are compatible with a hypothyroidism induced decrease in SR Ca2+ ATPase activity and a delay in muscle relaxation. In contrast, SERCa2 mRNA of EDL, representing only a small percent of total SERCa mRNA in this muscle, increased to 175% of control values. Muscle specific and SERCa gene specific changes also occur after acute triiodothyronine (T3) administration to hypothyroid rats. T3 does not induce a significant change in SERCa1 or SERCa2 mRNA levels in soleus, but in the heart SERCa2 mRNA increases about 3-fold. In EDL, T3 increases SERCa1 mRNA from a hypothyroid level of 59 +/- 6% to 138 +/- 4% of control values but SERCa2 mRNA is decreased to 75 +/- 5% of control levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We have studied the effects of hypo- and hyperthyroidism on sarcolemmal (SL) and sarcoplasmic reticular (SR) ion transport processes and mitochondrial energy production in rat heart. The following conclusions were derived. 1) Compared with euthyroid state, hyperthyroidism led to increased SR Ca(2+)-accumulation. In SL, the activities of Ca(2+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), ATP-dependent Ca2+ pumping, and Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger were not affected; but ouabain-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was enhanced. 2) Hypothyroidism resulted in depressed activities of Ca2+ pumps both in SL and SR. In SL, the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was decreased, but Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange was unaltered. 3) Thus slower relaxation of the hypothyroid myocardium may be attributed to depressed functioning of Ca2+ pumps in SR and SL, whereas faster relaxation of the hyperthyroid heart may be based on increased Ca(2+)-pumping activity of SR. 4) Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, respectively, led to enhanced and decreased rates of mitochondrial phosphocreatine synthesis. The thyroid state appears to control the functional coupling between mitochondrial creatine kinase and ATP-ADP translocase: the energy of oxidative phosphorylation was transformed into phosphocreatine more effectively in mitochondria from hypothyroid hearts than in those from hyperthyroid hearts.
