A calcium ionophore (A-23187, 20 mug/ml) stimulted 14C-1-glucose oxidation in dog thyroid slices to an extent equivalent to that obtained by the optimal concentration of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1mM). Furthermore, the ionophore augmented the stimulation by dibutyryl cyclic AMP much more than the simple additive effect. The ionophore also enhanced the effect of TSH, but to a lesser extent. Under conditions where organic binding was blocked, T/M ratio of radioiodine concentration was lowered in slices by the ionophore; the findings similar to those obtained with TSH and dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The ionophore exhibited a slightly depressive effect on the basal cyclic AMP level. The elevation by TSH of cyclic AMP levels was also slightly depressed by the ionophore, but statistically insignificant in most cases. These results indicate that calcium ion may play an important role in the TSH regulation of iodide transport and glucose metabolism in the thyroid, in some cases by augmenting the effects of cyclic AMP.
