The effect of retinoic acid (RA) on thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (Tg) gene expression was investigated in cultured human thyrocytes. Thyrocytes dispersed from Graves' thyroid tissues were incubated with TSH 5mU/ml and RA 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 microM for 72 h respectively. The samples were then subjected to Northern gel analysis. Northern gel analysis using the specific cDNA probes showed that RA suppressed the accumulation of TPO and Tg mRNA stimulated by TSH in a time- and dose-responsive manner. Furthermore, RA inhibited forskolin and 8-Bromo-cyclic-AMP-induced TPO and Tg gene expression, suggesting a distal action site for these cAMP mediated gene expressions. Immunoprecipitation analysis using the specific monoclonal antibodies showed that TSH increased newly synthesized 100, 75, 36-kDa [35S] TPO. The increased de novo TPO was markedly inhibited by RA. Tg secretion from monolayer cultures was measured by radioimmunoassay. RA also inhibited TSH-induced Tg secretion in a dose dependent manner. RA did not affect [3H] thymidine uptake into primary cultured human thyrocytes. In conclusion, RA inhibits the synthesis of TPO and Tg via the suppression of thyroid-specific gene expression although the exact site of RA action on these genes in human thyroids remains to be further elucidated. These results suggest that RA may play a regulatory role in Tg and TPO gene expression, subsequently resulting in the suppression of thyroid hormone synthesis.

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).

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).

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.
