P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is expressed in various normal tissues and plays an important role in drug absorption and disposition. In addition, it is supposed that alterations in the expression levels of Pgp are involved in the inter- and intraindividual variability of pharmacokinetics of many drugs. Since pharmacokinetic properties of various drugs are altered in patients with thyroid disorders, we examined the expression of Pgp and mdr1a/1b mRNA in the kidney, liver, jejunum, and ileum from euthyroid and hyperthyroid rats. Western blot analysis revealed that Pgp expression was markedly increased in the kidney and liver of hyperthyroid rats. In contrast, it was slightly increased in the jejunum and ileum. mdr1a/1b mRNA levels were significantly increased in the kidney of hyperthyroid rats. However, they were not increased in the liver as well as in the jejunum and ileum of hyperthyroid rats. Expression levels of bile salt export pump and mdr2 mRNA were also unchanged in hyperthyroid rat liver. Taken together, these findings suggest that thyroid hormone induces Pgp expression in a tissue-selective manner, and that the modulation of mdr1a/1b mRNA expression in the hyperthyroid state varies among tissues.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013974 Thyroxine The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.
