This chapter has outlined the complex process required for thyroid growth and function. Both events are regulated by TSHR via a multiplicity of signals, with the aid of and requirement for a multiplicity of hormones that regulate the TSHR via receptor cross-talk: insulin, IGF-I, adrenergic receptors, and purinergic receptors. Cross-talk appears to regulate G-protein interactions or activities induced by TSH as well as TSHR gene expression. The TSHR structure and its mechanism of signal transduction is being rapidly unraveled in several laboratories, since the recent cloning of the receptor. In addition, the epitopes for autoantibodies against the receptor that can subvert the normal regulated synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, causing hyper- or hypofunction, have been defined. Studies of regulation of the TSHR minimal promotor have uncovered a better understanding of the mechanisms by which TSH regulates both growth and function of the thyroid cell. A key novel component of this phenomenon involves TSH AMP positive and negative regulation of the TSHR. Negative transcriptional regulation is a common feature of MHC class I genes in the thyroid. Subversion of negative regulation or too little negative regulation is suggested to result in autoimmune disease. Methimazole and iodide at autoregulatory levels may be important in reversing this process and returning thyroid function to normal. Their action appears to involve factors that react with the IREs on both the TSHR and the TG promoter. Too much negative regulation, as in the case of ras transformation, results in abnormal growth without function. TTF-1 is implicated as a critical autoregulatory component in both positive and negative regulation of the TSHR and appears to be the link between TSH, the TSHR, TSHR-mediated signals, TG and TPO biosynthesis, and thyroid hormone formation. Differentially regulated expression of the TSHR and TG by cAMP and insulin depend on differences in the specificity of the TTF-1 site, that is, the lack of Pax-8 interactions with the TSHR, and the IRE sites. Single-strand binding proteins will become important in determining how TSHR transcription is controlled mechanistically.
