The comparative study of the in vivo synthesis of thyroglobulin and proteins other than thyroglobulin was carried out in thyroid glands from animals submitted to different levels of TSH stimulation. The different levels of hormonal stimulation modify neither the rate of labeling after injection of the isotope, nor the level of the free labeled amino acid in the glands (percent of the total uptake), but they have a very significant effect on the level of incorporation of the isotope into total proteins. In hypostimulated thyroids the total protein synthesis is very much reduced, while in hyperstimulated glands it is significantly increased. In both hyper- and hypostimulated animals, the proportion of radioactivity bound to the particulate protein fraction is higher than in control rats. However, the solubilization by digitonine of these proteins is lower in hypostimulated and higher in hyperstimulated animals than in controls. Thyroglobulin synthesis is significantly modified qualitatively and quantitatively in both hypo- and hyperstimulated glands. Qualitative modifications are characterized by a changed ratio of 19 S/12 S molecules with respect to the controls. This is probably caused by a more important dissociation of 19S molecules, due to the lower level of halogenation in both hypo- and MTU treated glands. The quantitative modifications of thyroglobulin synthesis, expressed either in absolute values (DPM/mg of tissue), or relatively to the total proteins (percent of total newly formed proteins), are characterized by a very important inhibition of this synthesis in hypostimulated glands, and its stimulation in glands chronically submitted to the TSH action. The modifications of synthesis observed for the proteins other than thyroglobulin are less significant in both types of treated glands than are those observed for thyroglobulin. The level of hormonal stimulation has no effect on the distribution of these proteins between soluble and the particulate fraction, but seems to have a slight effect on the solubilization of the latter ones. Comparative evaluation of the TSH effect on the synthesis of different thyroidal proteins shows that it has a much more specific and significant action on thyroglobulin than on other proteins. The differential effect of TSH on the synthesis of thyroglobulin and proteins other than thyroglobulin suggests that different mechanisms may exist by which TSH regulates the synthesis of these two types of proteins. 相似文献

Morphometric studies were made on corpora allata of the cockroach Diploptera punctata from animals in which increasing gland size is not coupled to hormone synthesis (ovariectomized mated females; last-instar larvae) and in which gland size is coupled to hormone synthesis (normal mated and virgin females; penultimate-instar larvae). Cell number, gland volume, and juvenile hormone synthesis were measured. From electron micrographs, nuclear, cytoplasmic, and extracellular volumes; and cell membrane area were calculated; and fine structure described. Low-activity glands of ovariectomized mated females resembled high-activity glands from mated females in high cell number, large overall and cytoplasmic volume, and low nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio; they differed in having organelles typical of low-activity glands, mitochondria with dense matrices and large whorls of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Inactive lastinstar larval glands resembled mated ovariectomized, female glands in increased cell number and organelles characteristic of inactive glands; however, their nuclearcytoplasmic volume ratio was much higher. Penultimate cytoplasmic volume ratio was much higher. Penultimate larval glands with high activity per cell resembled active glands of normal mated females. Ovariectomy did not change morphometric parameters of virgin female glands; thus mating results in increase in size of adult female glands whereas the growing ovary is needed for changes in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum associated with high juvenile hormone synthesis. 相似文献

At the age of one month, incubation with melatonin of the thyroid glands of rats having received a single melatonin treatment at the age of three days resulted in increased thyroxine production. TSH was unable to enhance the thyroxine production of animals treated with melatonin neonatally, while its considerable increase could be observed in the case of control animals. Simultaneous TSH and melatonin treatment applied in vitro at the age of one month resulted in an approximately twofold increase of thyroid T4 production in rats having received neonatal melatonin treatment. In vitro alteration of the cyclic AMP level of the thyroid glands of intact and neonatally melatonin treated rats ran practically parallel, except that in the melatonin treated animals the cAMP level was higher after TSH administration. At the same time the cAMP level decreased in the thyroid gland of animals treated with TSH + melatonin. There was no exact correlation between the alterations of cAMP and T4 levels in the given experimental system. 相似文献

Immunohistochemical localization of a thyroid hormone-binding protein (p55) in human tissues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have localized p55, a thyroid hormone-binding protein found in the endoplasmic reticulum in cultured cells, in samples of normal human and monkey tissues, using a monoclonal antibody with cryostat sections and immunoperoxidase histochemistry. Large amounts of p55 were found in many tissues, generally corresponding to the amount of endoplasmic reticulum contained in each cell type. Intense localization of p55 was found in cells of the anterior and intermediate pituitary lobes, in epithelial cells of thyroid follicles, in the glandular epithelium of mammary gland, in hepatocytes, in Paneth cells and Brunner's glands in duodenum, in acinar cells of pancreas, in adrenal cortical cells, and in scattered interstitial fibroblastic cells in many tissues. These results suggest a potential role for thyroid hormone and p55 in regulating protein synthesis or secretion in multiple organs. 相似文献

Intact rat thyroid lobes incubated in vitro release recently synthesized thyroglobulin (Tg) into the media at a faster rate than they release thyroglobulin stored in follicular structures. Differential release of this Tg fraction cannot be explained by morphological alterations in thyroid architecture during incubation. This rapidly excreted fraction exhibits a low density on rubidium chloride gradients characteristic of poorly sialylated and poorly iodinated thyroglobulin, comigrating on rubidium chloride gradients with thyroglobulin isolated from tunicamycin treated glands. This poorly sialylated and poorly iodinated thyroglobulin is itself unaffected in its density or release into the media by tunicamycin treatment. Tg isolated from the media of tunicamycin treated glands has nearly the same low iodine and low sialic acid content as rat serum thyroglobulin and does not incorporate radiolabelled glucosamine. This fraction thus appear to duplicate properties of low glycosylated-low iodinated thyroglobulin released from thyroid cells in organisms that have no follicular structures and no follicular storage process as well as from thyroid tissue in patients with thyroid disease states, particularly thyroid tumors. Thus it is proposed a "short loop" pathway of low-glycosylated low-iodinated thyroglobulin directly into circulation, that bypasses and is not stored in the follicular lumen, the "long loop". 相似文献

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (TG) represent two major glycoproteins of thyroid follicular cells performing biological functions such as iodination, transcytosis of thyroglobulin, and formation of thyroid hormones. They are involved in thyroid autoimmunity and thyroid inborn metabolic disorders. Studying these processes at a molecular level includes the determination of their precise intracellular distribution. An evaluation of the relative concentrations of TG and TPO in different subcellular compartments was carried out in stimulated human follicular cells using thin-frozen sections and the immunogold technique. It is documented that TG is transported from the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus to the follicular lumen by transport vesicles; most of it being present in the expanded endoplasmic reticulum throughout the cytoplasm. On the other hand, gold particles indicating TPO are adjacent to the membranes of the exocytotic pathway. They do not label the basolateral membrane but show the strongest density in the nuclear envelope and the apical membrane. The labeling density of TPO is about four times higher in the nuclear envelope than in the endoplasmic reticulum throughout the cytoplasm. In contrast, TG is concentrated three times higher in the rough endoplasmic reticulum throughout the cytoplasm than in the nuclear cisternae. Our results give the first quantitative evidence that TPO and TG are concentrated in different subcompartments of the endoplasmic reticulum. Because previous studies demonstrated the nuclear envelope as the site where the synthesis of endogenous peroxidase (Br?kelmann, J., D. W. Fawcett, Biol. Reprod. 1, 59-71 (1969)) begins, we suggest that synthesis of these functionally related proteins happens in specialized parts of the endoplasmic reticulum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Ultrastructural changes of the parathyroid glands of isoproterenol-treated golden hamsters were investigated. Many chief cells in the parathyroid glands after 5 and 10 minutes of administration of isoproterenol contain well-developed Golgi complexes and granular endoplasmic reticulum, numerous prosecretory granules, and many secretory granules in the peripheral cytoplasm as compared with the control animals. Many chief cells in the parathyroid glands after 1, 3, 6 and 12 hours of administration have poorly-developed Golgi complexes, granular endoplasmic reticulum, many secretory granules and numerous lipid droplets as compared with the control animals. The morphology of the parathyroid gland after 30 minutes and 24 hours of administration resembles that of the control animals. It is considered that isoproterenol affects the secretory activity of the parathyroid gland. 相似文献

In order to elucidate the maternal factors influencing the functional development of the fetal rat thyroid gland, pregnant rats were subjected to either thyroidectomy or administration of PTU or TSH and the thyroid glands of the fetuses were examined chronologically by immunohistochemistry to detect thyroglobulin (Tg), T4 and T3. In the group undergoing thyroidectomy, the occurrence of immunoreactive Tg, T4 and T3 was the same as in the control group in spite of slight retardation of the development of the thyroid gland. On the other hand, PTU administration caused remarkable degeneration of the hyperplastic epithelium of the follicles, where immunoreactivity of T4 and T3 was barely detectable, suggesting a transplacental effect of PTU on the fetal thyroid gland. However, Tg remained unaffected and was stained as well as in the controls. Injection of TSH led to a delay in the occurrence of T4 and T3 by one day, probably due to increased levels of thyroid hormone from the stimulated thyroid gland of the mother rats. 相似文献

Thyroglobulin secreted in the medium by Fisher rat thyroid line-5 (FRTL-5) cells cultured in the presence of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) shows a slower electrophoretic mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a higher density position in a CsCl gradient than thyroglobulin secreted by FRTL-5 cells cultured in the absence of TSH for 5-7 days. Such a TSH effect is much less or not evident when secreted thyroglobulin is digested with peptide N-glycohydrolase F or when intracellular thyroglobulin is compared. Intracellular thyroglobulin migrates faster than thyroglobulin secreted either in the presence or in the absence of TSH. Evaluation of the mannose and galactose content of thyroglobulin demonstrates that intracellular thyroglobulin has more mannose and less galactose than extracellular thyroglobulin; it also shows that TSH decreases the mannose content of thyroglobulin while increasing its galactose content. Bio-Gel P6 chromatography shows that TSH increases the complex type carbohydrate chains while decreasing the high mannose chains in the secreted thyroglobulin. High mannose type oligosaccharides were characterized by fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry analysis. Treatment with the calcium ionophore A23187 (5 microM) of FRTL-5 cells cultured with or without TSH causes the appearance of a "fast" migrating form of thyroglobulinin in the culture medium. Bio-Gel P6 chromatography shows that A23187 causes a dramatic decrease of the complex carbohydrate chains of the secreted thyroglobulin. 相似文献

Maturation of the rat fetal thyroid was studied with the aid of I131 and of fluorescence and electron microscopy. The I131 concentration of the fetal gland increased exponentially from day 17 to day 20 of gestation and was related to the weight of the fetus (and presumably the weight of the thyroid) and also to the quantity of I131 accumulated by the fetus. In the 17-day gland, thyroglobulin or immunologically similar material was sparsely present in the incipient lumens of some cell clusters. With maturation, this material increased and was also observed within follicular cells on days 18 to 19 of gestation. On day 20, the specifically reacting material was present in the follicular lumens and was absent from the cytoplasm of follicular epithelium. Ultrastructurally, the earliest thyroid cells examined were replete with all the organelles found in the more mature epithelium. No direct correlation could be made between the cytoplasmic structures and the presence of thyroglobulin, although the granular endoplasmic reticulum was most likely the organelle responsible for synthesis of thyroglobulin. Thyroglobulin or a precursor was found in fetal thyroid cells before measurable quantities of I131 were concentrated and before cytoplasmic droplets appeared. 相似文献

Dual oxidases generate the hydrogen peroxide needed by thyroid peroxidase for the incorporation of iodine into thyroglobulin, an essential step in thyroid hormone synthesis. Mutations in the human dual oxidase 2 gene, DUOX2, have been shown to underlie several cases of congenital hypothyroidism. We report here the first mouse Duox2 mutation, which provides a new genetic model for studying the specific function of DUOX2 in the thyroid gland and in other organ systems where it is hypothesized to play a role. We mapped the new spontaneous mouse mutation to chromosome 2 and identified it as a T>G base pair change in exon 16 of Duox2. The mutation changes a highly conserved valine to glycine at amino acid position 674 (V674G) and was named "thyroid dyshormonogenesis" (symbol thyd) to signify a defect in thyroid hormone synthesis. Thyroid glands of mutant mice are goitrous and contain few normal follicles, and anterior pituitaries are dysplastic. Serum T(4) in homozygotes is about one-tenth the level of controls and is accompanied by a more than 100-fold increase in TSH. The weight of adult mutant mice is approximately half that of littermate controls, and serum IGF-I is reduced. The cochleae of mutant mice exhibit abnormalities characteristic of hypothyroidism, including a delayed formation of the inner sulcus and tunnel of Corti and an abnormally thickened tectorial membrane. Hearing thresholds of adult mutant mice are on average 50-60 decibels (dB) above those of controls. 相似文献

This study examines the role of the thyroid gland in the control of reproduction in the viviparous Atlantic stingray, Dasyatis sabina. Thyroid activity in individuals in different reproductive stages was assessed both by microscopic examination of the gland, and by analysis of circulating levels of thyroid hormones from the same individuals. The thyroid gland is a cylindric organ, embedded in a connective tissue capsule, and composed of follicles, i.e., monolayer spheres of thyroid epithelial cells. Stingray follicular cells possess several characteristic features, namely apical cilia and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum. Cells vary in size and shape, according to the activity of the gland. No structural differences were observed between the thyroid glands of the two sexes. Both thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine, [T(3)], and thyroxine, [T(4)], were detected in the serum of all animals examined. Levels ranged from 1.3-2.6 microg/100 ml for total T(4), and from 1.2-2.6 ng/ml for total T(3). The T(4) levels did not vary significantly in any group. Immature individuals and females undergoing oogenesis had the lowest levels of circulating T(3) and mature females from ovulation throughout gestation had high thyroid gland activity and high levels of circulating T(3).

The mole has a single pair of accessory sex organs with features of both the prostate and the seminal vesicle, for which the term prostate gland is not appropriate. Seasonal changes occuring in this gland were related to four periods: a) the quiescence period, b) the maturation period, c) the active period and d) the involution period. During the quiescence period the cuboidal epithelial cells display a quasi-embryonic fine structure and are sparse in cytoplasmic organelles, but rich in glycogen and lipopigment. With the onset of sexual activity glycogen and lipopigment disappear and the rough endoplasmic reticulum as well as the Golgi apparatus begin to proliferate. The fully active gland is lined by a low epithelium with parallel stacks of rough endoplasmic reticulum, a large Golgi apparatus and several lysosomes and secretory granules. In the involution period the gland collapses and the epithelial cells are eliminated by hetero- and autophagic processes. During this period a great number of presumably endocrine cells were observed. The results were compared with findings in experimental studies and those on postnatal development of accessory sex glands in laboratory animals. 相似文献

Antagonistic effects of thyrotropin and epidermal growth factor on thyroglobulin mRNA level in cultured thyroid cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Both thyrotropin (TSH) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are potent mitogenic agents when added to dog thyroid cells in primary culture [Roger, P. P. and Dumont, J. E. (1984) Mol. Cell. Endocrinol. 36, 79-93]. The concomitant effect of these agents on the differentiation state of the cells was appreciated using cell morphology, iodide trapping, thyroglobulin synthesis and cytoplasmic thyroglobulin mRNA content as markers. Together with previous results [Mol. Cell. Endocrinol. 36, 79-93 (1984)] it is shown that cells cultured in the continuous presence of TSH maintain all the parameters at a near normal level. In the absence of TSH, thyroglobulin mRNA decreased to very low, though still detectable levels. Addition of TSH restored subnormal mRNA levels. Culture of cells in the presence of EGF for 4-6 days affected profoundly their morphology, abolished iodide trapping and decreased thyroglobulin synthesis and cytoplasmic mRNA content to undetectable levels. Addition of TSH to cells previously exposed to EGF reversed the growth factor effect on all four indexes. The redifferentiating effect of TSH was well observed within 3-4 days and was mimicked by the adenylate cyclase activators, forskolin and cholera toxin. When administered simultaneously, TSH and EGF achieved an intermediate situation, EGF antagonizing partially the effect of TSH on the expression of thyroglobulin gene. Another growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, while promoting thyroid cell proliferation also, did not interfere at all with TSH effects on cytoplasmic thyroglobulin mRNA content. Our results make the dog thyroid cell in primary culture an appropriate model to study the mechanisms involved in gene regulation by cyclic AMP and growth factors. 相似文献

An electron microscopical study of parathyroid glands from 13-day old chick embryos cultured for 2 days on media with different concentrations of calcium was conducted. The same as in non-cultured embryonic glands, the cells in all cultures contained a moderate amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum and a large Golgi complex with many cisternae, vacuoles, vesicles, coated vesicles and small prosecretory granules. In addition, large secretory granules, which are very rare in the non-cultured controls appeared frequently in the cultures and were especially numerous in the glands cultured on high-calcium medium. The fact that the amount of secretory granules varied according to the concentration of calcium in the medium is interpreted as indicating that the rate of parathyroid hormone secretion in the embryo is already responsive to variations in the concentration of calcium. To the extent that in vitro results may be accepted as representative of what happens in vivo these results support the idea that the embryonic gland may be controlled by variations in the calcemia as the adult gland does. 相似文献

In the hope of localizing thyroglobulin within focullar cells of the thyroid gland, antibodies raised against rat thyroglobulin were labeled with the enzyme horseradish peroxidase or with (125)I-radioiodine. Sections of rat thyroids fixed in glutaraldehyde and embedded in glycol methacrylate or Araldite were placed in contact with the labeled antibodies. The sites of antibody binding were detected by diaminobenzidine staining in the case of peroxidase labeling, and radioautography in the case of 125(I) labeling. Peroxidase labeling revealed that the antibodies were bound by the luminal colloid of the thyroid follicles and, within focullar cells, by colloid droplets, condensing vacuoles, and apical vesicles. (125)I labeling confirmed these findings, and revealed some binding of antibodies within Golgi saccules and rough endoplasmic reticulum. This method provides a visually less distinct distribution than peroxidase labeling, but it allowed ready quantitation of the reactions by counts of silver grains in the radioautographs. The counts revealed that the concentration of label was similar in the luminal colloid of different follicles, but that it varied within the compartments of follicular cells. A moderate concentration was detected in rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi saccules, whereas a high concentration was found in condensing vacuoles, apical vesicles, and in the luminal colloid. Varying amounts of label were observed over the different types of colloid droplets, and this was attributed to various degrees of lysosomal degradation of thyroglobulin. It is concluded that the concentration of thyroglobulin antigenicity increases during transport from the ribosomal site of synthesis to the follicular colloid, and then decreases during the digestion of colloid droplets which leads to the release of the thyoid hormone. 相似文献

Different processes implied in thyroid hormonogenesis (thyroglobulin, thyroperoxidase and hydrogen peroxide generating system expressions) and their regulation by TSH and iodide have been studied using porcine thyroid cells cultured in porous bottomed chambers. This system allowed to reproduce the functional bipolarity. Cells form a tight and polarized monolayer. Both apical and basolateral poles of epithelial cells were independently accessible and the cell layer separated two compartments which can contain different media. A major polarized secretion of thyroglobulin into the apical compartment was observed; it was increased in the presence of TSH as well as the thyroglobulin synthesis and mRNA level. These TSH effects were the consequence of adenylcyclase stimulation. Active transport of iodide, iodination of thyroglobulin and hormonosynthesis took place only in the presence of TSH. These steps occurred at the apical pole of cells. In the culture chamber system, thyroglobulin was weakly iodinated (6 atoms of iodide per mole of thyroglobulin; in vivo up to 40 atoms per mole) but hormonogenesis efficiency was close to this one observed in vivo (40%). Iodide concentrations higher than 0.5 µM daily added to the basal medium inhibited iodination of thyroglobulin and hormonosynthesis. Some components contained in culture media were inhibitors for iodination when they were present in the apical medium such as vitamins, amino acids and phenol red. The culture system appears to be interesting for pharmacological and toxicological studies. 相似文献
