Thyroid hormones modulate energy metabolism and importantly influence growth and development. These effects are independently mediated. Thyroid calorigenesis is influenced predominantly via nuclear receptor mediated synthesis of mitochondrial respiratory assemblies and cell membrane sodium potassium ATPase. Accumulating evidence suggests that many of the thyroid hormone effects on development are mediated via growth factors, including somatomedins (SM), erythropoietin (EP), nerve growth factor (NGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Thyroid hormone binding to nuclear receptors is known to stimulate growth hormone (GH) synthesis, and thyroid hormones probably potentiate GH stimulation of SM production as well as the anabolic effects of SM. The production of EP, NGF and EGF also are thyroid hormone responsive, and it seems likely that these growth factors mediate the thyroid hormone effects on erythrocyte production, autonomic and perhaps central nervous system maturation, and epidermal development, respectively.

It has been recognized for a long time that changes in hormone secretion can influence cardiac function; however, the biochemical basis for these changes has only recently been clarified. In this review the influences of hormonal status on the contractile protein myosin is discussed. Myosin has a rod-like portion and a globular head and consists of two myosin heavy chains (MHC) and four light chains (LC), two of which are identical. The globular head is the site of an ATP-splitting enzyme, the myosin ATPase, and increases in myosin ATPase activity are closely related to an increased velocity of contraction of the heart. Myosin ATPase activity shows marked response to alterations in thyroid hormone, insulin, glucocorticoid, testosterone and catecholamine levels, but marked animal species differences in this response occur. Thyroid hormone administration to normal rabbits, for example, increases myosin ATPase activity markedly, but the myosin ATPase activity of hyperthyroid rats remains unchanged. In contrast, in hypothyroid rats myosin ATPase activity is markedly decreased but the hypothyroid rabbit shows no such response. These species-related differences in the hormonal response of myosin ATPase activity result from the predominance pattern of specific myosin isoenzymes. In the normal rat heart three myosin isoenzymes, V1, V2 and V3, can be separated electrophoretically. Myosin V1 predominates (70% of total myosin), and has the highest myosin ATPase activity, whereas in rabbits myosin V3, which has a lower myosin ATPase activity, is the predominant isomyosin. Thyroid hormone administration to rabbits induces myosin V1 predominance and therefore increases myosin ATPase activity, whereas in hyperthyroid rats only a small further increase in V1 predominance can occur. The alterations in myosin isoenzyme predominance and myosin ATPase activity are closely correlated to changes in cardiac contractility. Hormone-induced alterations in myosin isoenzyme predominance are mediated through changes in the formation of two isoforms of myosin heavy chain. Changes in the expression of different myosin heavy chain genes are most likely responsible for the thyroid hormone and insulin-induced alterations in myosin isoenzyme predominance. Investigation of the control of myosin heavy chain formation can provide further insights into the hormonal control of a multigene family as well as broaden our understanding of the molecular events which result in altered cardiac contractility.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Thyroid status was altered by use of a low-iodine-perchlorate (PC) regimen and either reversal with NaI or injections of L-3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3). The PC regimen decreased renal and hepatic oxygen consumption (QO2), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH), and Na+-K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) to comparable extents (25 vs. 23%, 26 vs. 39%, and 41 vs. 51%, respectively). Administration of T3 to hypothyroid rats elicited dose-dependent increases in hepatic and renal cortical QO2, ouabain-sensitive oxygen consumption (QO2(t)), alpha-GPDH, and Na-K-ATPase activities. The half-maximal increases in all of the response parameters in both kidney and liver were obtained at dosages of 6-32 micrograms T3/100 g body wt. The equivalences in the renal cortical vs. hepatic responses were indicated by correlation coefficients of approximately 0.97. Kidney and liver nuclei also showed similar high-affinity binding of 125I-T3-K1/2 = 29 vs. 18 micrograms T3/100 g body wt, and Nmax = 1.8 vs. 2.1 ng T3/mg DNA. The patterns of the responses plotted as a function of T3 occupancy of the high-affinity nuclear binding sites were indistinguishable in kidney and liver. These results imply similar modes of action of T3, probably initiated at the nuclear level, in both kidney and liver.

Aldosterone stimulates transepithelial Na+ transport in the toad bladder, and thyroid hormone antagonizes this mineralocorticoid action. In the present study, we assessed the influence of these two hormones on the biosynthesis of (Na+,K+)ATPase, the major driving force of Na+ transport. Rates of enzyme synthesis were estimated by immunoprecipitation with monospecific alpha (96,000 daltons) and beta (60,000 daltons) subunit antibodies. After a 30-min pulse of intact tissue with [35S]methionine, the anti-alpha-serum recognized the 96,000-dalton alpha subunit and the anti-beta-serum, a 42,000-dalton protein, in total cell extracts. The biosynthesis rates of both these proteins were increased 2.8- and 2.4-fold respectively, over controls by 80 nM aldosterone after 18 h of hormone treatment. The hormonal effect was not apparent up to 3 h of incubation and was dose dependent between 0.2 and 20 nM aldosterone. The hormonal induction was antagonized by spironolactone (500-fold excess) but not by amiloride. The action of aldosterone thus seems to be a receptor-mediated process and a primary event independent of the Na+ permeability of the apical membrane. Thyroid hormone, on the other hand, had no effect on either basal or aldosterone-stimulated synthesis rates of both enzyme proteins. The results demonstrate a direct effect of aldosterone on gene expression of the (Na+,K+)-ATPase. Ultimately, this phenomenon could be linked to the late mineralocorticoid action of this hormone. On the other hand, thyroid hormone, in contrast to the situation in mammals, does not stimulate de novo enzyme synthesis in amphibia. Neither can the antimineralocorticoid action of thyroid hormone in the toad bladder be explained by an inhibition of the (Na+,K+)-ATPase synthesis.

The direct oncogenic potential of radiation and chemicals is demonstrable in cell cultures, where host-mediated influences do not prevail. These systems afford the opportunity of investigating factors that modulate neoplastic transformation. Agents such as retinoids modulate late events and inhibit the expression of transformation and the promotional effects of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Thyroid hormones play a role in early events, in initiation of transformation. Interaction of triiodothyronine (T3) in a culture medium with single cells is a prerequisite for the initiation of transformation following exposure to X-rays and to benzo[a]pyrene. When cloned hamster embryo cells and mouse 10T 1/2 cells are maintained in a medium containing serum without thyroid hormones (hypothyroid conditions) and exposed to 3 or 4 Gy X-rays, no transformation is observed, although cell survival and cell growth are unaffected by thyroid hormone level. Supplementation of the medium with 10-12M to 10-7M T3 12 h before exposure to X-rays results in a transformation frequency related to the dose of T3, with a peak at 10-10M. The curve is similar to that induced by Na/K ATPase. Addition of T3 at the time of radiation results in a lower transformation frequency; if it is added after radiation no transformation is observed. The effect of T3 in the process of initiation is not mimicked by reverse T3 and is abolished by addition of 100 ng cyclohexamide. The data suggest that the effect of T3 in rendering the cell competent to transform involves synthesis of a cellular 'transforming protein'. Ongoing experiments indicate that exposure to 1 microgram/ml benzo[a]-pyrene results in transformation only in the presence of T3. Under hypothyroid conditions, no transformation is observed.

The concept of a hypermetabolic state to explain metabolic tolerance to ethanol grew from the recognition that the rate of alcohol metabolism is, in general, limited by the rate at which mitochondria can reoxidize reducing equivalents and thus by the rate at which oxygen can be consumed by the liver. This relationship appears to be most important in conditions in which the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)/QO2 ratio is high and is not in conflict with observations suggesting that ADH can, under certain conditions, constitute a rate-determining step for ethanol metabolism in rodents. Liver preparations from animals fed alcohol chronically, in which an increase in ethanol metabolism is shown, consume oxygen at higher rates. This effect, concerning which there is discrepancy among investigators, depends on the type of preparation. Thyroid hormones play a permissive role in the development of the hypermetabolic state, while increased circulating levels of these hormones are not required. Antithyroid drugs inhibit both metabolic tolerance in vivo and the hypermetabolic state. While the hypermetabolic state requires an increased ATP utilization in the form of an adenosine triphosphatase, or an inhibition of ATP synthesis, the different mechanisms proposed for such an effect do not quantitatively account for the increases in oxygen consumption. In humans and animals chronically exposed to ethanol, but withdrawn, oxygen tensions in blood leaving the liver are significantly reduced. In some situations, low oxygen tensions in zone 3 of the hepatic acinus can reach critical hypoxic levels and may lead to cell necrosis. Studies in which the effectiveness of propylthiouracil is tested in human alcoholic hepatitis are discussed.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of thyroid hormonal deficiency on (1) standard (SMR) and maximal (VO2max) rates of O2 consumption, (2) tissue glycolytic and oxidative capacities and (3) submaximal locomotory endurance in a lizard (Dipsosaurus dorsalis). Surgical thyroidectomy induced hypothyroidism in all animals as determined by levels of plasma thyroxine. Hypothyroid lizards had lower levels of SMR (-48%), VO2max (-16%) and citrate synthase activity in liver, heart and skeletal muscle compared to controls. There was a correlated decrease in locomotory endurance in thyroid-deficient animals. Pyruvate kinase activity (an index of glycolytic capacity) in all tissues, and myofibrillar ATPase activity (an index of contractile velocity) in white iliofibularis muscle, showed no significant changes in thyroid-deficient animals. Thyroid hormones appear to be important in ultimately establishing an animal's capacity for locomotory endurance. These findings suggest a new selective context for understanding the evolution of thyroid function.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; thyrotropin) produces a pleiotropic response in the thyroid gland, accelerating nearly every aspect of metabolic turnover within the follicular epithelia. We examined the effects of TSH on expression of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in FRTL-5 cells, a cell line derived from rat thyroid. TSH (10 mU/ml) produced a nearly twofold increase in abundance of the mRNA encoding the catalytic alpha 1-subunit within 6 h of treatment. With the four mRNAs encoding the beta 1-subunit, TSH produced a striking increase in abundance, but this regulation was discoordinate, and some species increased more than others. Similar increases in mRNA abundance were elicited by activators of the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate second messenger system. In contrast to the alpha 1- and beta 1-mRNAs, the abundance of the mRNA encoding the beta 2-subunit was unchanged with TSH after 6 h, indicating that the effects of thyrotropin were not universal or indiscriminate. Thyrotropin also caused a 76% increase in Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity and a 46% increase in pump-mediated transport after 48 h. These studies suggest that the changes in metabolic turnover initiated by TSH during hormone synthesis include upregulation of the N(+)-K+ pump.

Thyroid hormone (T3) stimulates Na,K-ATPase activity and alpha and beta subunit mRNA abundances in myocardial cells in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we used transient transfection and nuclear run-on assays to determine whether T3 regulates the transcription rate of the Na,K-ATPase alpha 2 subunit gene. Primary cultures of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes were incubated with 100 nM T3 for 1, 3, and 6 d, and alpha 2 mRNA levels were measured by Northern blot hybridization analysis. There was no change in the abundance of alpha 2 mRNA by 1 d of T3 treatment, whereas a two- and threefold increase in alpha 2 mRNA was evident when cells were exposed to T3 for 3 and 6 d, respectively. A portion of the rat alpha 2 gene containing 1700 base pairs (bp) of 5'-flanking DNA sequence was isolated and fused to the firefly luciferase gene. Transient transfection experiments utilizing this chimeric gene showed no T3 trans-activation of reporter gene activity either in the absence or presence of cotransfected beta 1 or alpha 1 isoforms of rat T3 receptor (T3R). In contrast, cotransfection of T3R facilitated a strong stimulation of luciferase activity driven by a construct containing a single copy of a palindromic T3 response element (TRE). Nuclear run-on analysis indicated that the rate of transcription of the endogenous alpha 2 gene was enhanced 1.2-fold at 3 d of T3 treatment, and was not regulated at either 1 or 6 d. These results indicate that the T3-dependent increase in alpha 2 mRNA content at 6 d is mediated at a post-transcriptional level. Unexpectedly, we observed a T3-dependent three-to sixfold repression of alpha 2/luciferase expression in cardiac myocytes cotransfected with T3R. Deletion analysis of the 5' end of the alpha 2 gene revealed a negative TRE between nucleotides -354 and -100.

Thyroid hormone increased the percentage of fibers expressing fast-type sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase in the slow rat soleus muscle from 17% in the hypothyroid to 100% in the hyperthyroid state. This was accompanied by a 12-fold increase in the fast-type Ca(2+)-ATPase protein content of soleus muscle homogenates, suggesting that also the amount of this protein per muscle fiber was increased. In contrast to the fast-type isoform, a decrease in the percentage of fibers expressing slow-type Ca(2+)-ATPase from 100% to 70% was observed in the transition from the hypothyroid to the hyperthyroid state. Slow-type Ca(2+)-ATPase protein levels in muscle homogenates however did not decrease on the same trajectory, but were even elevated in the euthyroid state. In the fast extensor digitorum longus muscle qualitatively similar changes in Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform expression were observed. The results suggest a dual action of thyroid hormone: 1. increasing slow-type Ca(2+)-ATPase expression in individual fibers 2. decreasing the fraction of slow-type Ca(2+)-ATPase expressing fibers.
