The influence of TSH on thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene expression was investigated in FRTL5 rat thyroid cells. Cultured in the presence of TSH, these cells express a TPO mRNA species of 3.1 kilobases. TSH withdrawal from the culture medium led to a decline in TPO mRNA levels over 24 h. In contrast, no decline in beta-actin mRNA levels occurred after 24 h of incubation in TSH-free medium. TSH (1 mU/ml) added to FRTL5 cells cultured in the absence of TSH increased TPO mRNA levels 7- to 9-fold compared to levels in control cells. This effect of TSH on TPO mRNA accumulation in FRTL5 cells was time related (it was already present after 4 h and was maximal after 24 h of cell exposure to TSH), dose related (0.01 and 1 mU/ml were, respectively, the lowest and the maximally effective doses), and independent of new protein synthesis, in that it was not prevented by cycloheximide (100 microM). cAMP analogues [8-bromo-cAMP and (Bu)2cAMP] also increased TPO mRNA levels, although to a lesser degree than TSH. Run-on transcription analysis in nuclei prepared from FRTL5 cells previously cultured in the presence or absence of TSH did not reveal any difference in TPO mRNA transcripts. These results suggest that TSH regulates the level of TPO mRNA in FRTL5 cells, in part via the second messenger cAMP and by a nontranscriptional mechanism. This TSH effect may represent a primary site of TSH action in regulating TPO bioactivity.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

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.

D013961 Thyroid Gland A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.

D013972 Thyrotropin A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
