Using a functioning rat thyroid cell line (FRTL-5), we studied the effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on thyroidal type I iodothyronine 5'-deiodination (I-5'-deiodination) and on the expression of I-5'-deiodinase (I-5'-D) mRNA. After 24 h incubation in medium containing 0.5 microM rT3 with a tracer amount of [125I]rT3, radioactivity of released 125I- was counted. Deiodination in live FRTL-5 cells was enhanced about three times from the basal level by the addition of TSH and was inhibited markedly by propylthiouracil and dose dependently by T4. These results suggest the suitability of this model for investigating I-5'-deiodination in live thyroid tissue. Basal and TSH-induced I-5'-deiodination were significantly inhibited by 100 ng/liter of IL-1 beta and IL-6, and the inhibitory effect of TNF-alpha was seen over 1 microgram/liter. I-5'-deiodination was restored by removal of the cytokines. TSH-induced cAMP production and (Bu)2cAMP-induced I-5'-deiodination were also inhibited by the cytokines. Catalase, dexamethasone, and indomethacin did not abolish the inhibitory effects of the cytokines. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed a marked suppression of I-5'-D mRNA expression by IL-1 beta and IL-6. We conclude that these cytokines inhibit the thyroidal type I I-5'-deiodination in the order of potency IL-1 beta > IL-6 >> TNF-alpha, probably by decreasing the I-5'-D mRNA level.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Hydrogen peroxide plays an important role in the regulation of iodination and thyroid hormone formation. In the present study, the effect of exogenous H2O2 on 125I transport and organification was investigated in FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells. Less than 20 passages after subcloning, cells in 24-well plates (6 x 10(4) cells/well) were maintained in a thyrotropin (TSH)-containing medium (6H) for 3 days. A TSH-free medium (5H) was then used for the next 7 days. A 1-h exposure to H2O2 stimulated 125I transport and 125I organification at 0.1-0.5 mmol/l H2O2 and had a toxic effect on FRTL-5 cell at 5 mmol/l. Hydrogen peroxide (0.5 mmol/l) augmented the iodide transport and iodine organification induced by TSH (333 U/l) by two- and threefold, respectively. The biphasic effect of H2O2 was blocked totally by 5-200 micrograms/l of catalase. Catalase by itself did not influence TSH-mediated 125I transport and 125I organification. Hydrogen peroxide (0.5 mmol/l) added to cells in 5H medium increased Na+K(+)-ATPase activity twofold. Ouabain (1 mmol/l), an inhibitor of Na+K(+)-ATPase, completely inhibited the twofold increase in 125I transport induced by 0.5 mmol/l H2O2 but only inhibited H2O2-induced 125I organification by 28%. Methimazole (1 mmol/l), an inhibitor of thyroid peroxidase, had no effect on H2O2-mediated 125I transport but totally blocked the fivefold rise in 125I organification induced by 0.5 mmol/l H2O2. The effect of H2O2 on intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels also was studied.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
