Kinetic analysis of iodide transport in dog thyroid slices: perchlorate-induced discharge. 1977

P A Rocmans, and J C Penel, and F R Cantraine, and J E Dumont

Dog thyroid slices were incubated with methimazole (2 mM) and radioiodide. The medium radioactivity was continuously recorded for 8 h. Multiple data were collected for individual glands to calculate simultaneously by compartmental analysis the influx and efflux rates of iodide from the slices. A two-compartment thyroid model was necessary and sufficient to simulate the transport of inorganic iodide. The two compartments could be defined as the cellular and the luminal spaces, but interferences due to slice thickness, nonuniform follicle sizes, and open follicles were not excluded. Sodium perchlorate (1 mM) inhibited the influx of iodide into the follicles and discharged the trapped radioiode into the medium with increased efflux rates. Our data suggest that perchlorate decreases the inward influx rates by competition and enhances the outward efflux rates by countertransport and support the hypothesis of mobile iodide carriers at the basal and apical membranes of the thyroid cells.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007454	Iodides	Inorganic binary compounds of iodine or the I- ion.	Iodide
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008713	Methimazole	A thioureylene antithyroid agent that inhibits the formation of thyroid hormones by interfering with the incorporation of iodine into tyrosyl residues of thyroglobulin. This is done by interfering with the oxidation of iodide ion and iodotyrosyl groups through inhibition of the peroxidase enzyme.
