cDNAs for thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (Tg) have been cloned and sequenced. Using such cDNAs, we investigated the regulation of TPO and Tg gene expression by various agents in cultured human thyroid cells. Unstimulated human thyroid cells contained a major RNA species [3.2 kilobases (kb) in length] and several minor RNA species (less than 3.2 kb mRNA) of TPO, but no detectable Tg transcripts. However, TSH-stimulated thyroid cells contained four distinct TPO mRNA species (4.0, 3.2, 2.1, and 1.7 kb) and a single Tg mRNA species (8.5 kb). TSH stimulated the TPO and Tg mRNA levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The same results were obtained with 8-bromo-cAMP, a cAMP analog, but not with insulin or insulin-like growth factor I. Furthermore, inductions of these mRNAs by TSH and 8-bromo-cAMP were almost completely blocked by cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor. These results suggest that human thyroid cells contain four distinct TPO mRNAs and a single species of Tg mRNA, and the levels of all mRNAs are increased by TSH/cAMP stimulation. These increases are blocked by inhibiting protein synthesis, indicating that TSH stimulation of TPO and Tg mRNA levels may be mediated by newly synthesized protein(s).

D003513 Cycloheximide Antibiotic substance isolated from streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus. It acts by inhibiting elongation during protein synthesis. Actidione,Cicloheximide
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D001711 Biotransformation The chemical alteration of an exogenous substance by or in a biological system. The alteration may inactivate the compound or it may result in the production of an active metabolite of an inactive parent compound. The alterations may be divided into METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE I and METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE II.
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.
