The one- or two-electron oxidation of thyroglobulin by the thyroid peroxidase system was found to be regulated by the iodine content of thyroglobulin. The catalytic intermediate of thyroid peroxidase observed at steady state of the reaction was Compound I and II when the iodine content in thyroglobulin was 0.2 and 0.7%, respectively, apparent rate constants for the rate-limiting steps being estimated at 4.7 x 10(7) and 4.8 x 10(4) M-1 S-1. The thyroglobulin-mediated oxidation of GSH occurred by way of two-electron transfer at 0.2% iodine content and by way of one-electron transfer at 0.7% iodine content. The spin-trapping experiment with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide showed that glutathione radicals were formed in the latter reaction but not in the former. In the reactions of thyroid peroxidase, the one- and two-electron oxidations of ascorbate were also mediated by 0.2 and 0.7% iodine thyroglobulins, respectively. The reactions were analyzed and mimicked with the use of p-cresol and p-acetaminophenol as a mediator in the reactions of lactoperoxidase and thyroid peroxidase. 相似文献

Thyroid hormone is an essential regulator of developmental growth and metabolism in vertebrates. Iodine is a necessary constituent of thyroid hormone. Due to the scarcity and uneven distribution of iodine on the Earth's crust, the structure of the thyroid gland is adjusted to collect and store this element in order to secure a continuous supply of thyroid hormone throughout life. Still, disease resulting from hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency is a global health problem, illustrating the great biological significance that iodine saving mechanisms have evolved. Iodide is accumulated together with prohormone (thyroglobulin) in the lumen of the thyroid follicles. The rate-limiting step of this transport is the sodium/iodide symporter located in the basolateral plasma membrane of the thyroid follicular cells. Iodide is also transferred across the apical plasma membrane into the lumen where hormonogenesis takes place. In this review, recent progress in the understanding of transepithelial iodide transport in the thyroid is summarized. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Mixed medullary-follicular thyroid carcinoma (MMFTC) is a rare tumor that has been regarded as a clinicopathologic variant of medullary thyroid carcinoma. MMFTC represents a diagnostic challenge by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). CASE: A 77-year-old woman had a palpable mass on the left side of the neck. It was diagnosed as follicular neoplasm by FNAC; she underwent total thyroidectomy. Pathology revealed follicular carcinoma. Radioactive iodine was administered. An enlarging mass was present in the left mandible later. FNAC showed suspicious follicular neoplasm with predominance of oncocytic cells. Pathology revealed follicular carcinoma with parafollicular cell differentiation. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated positive status for thyroglobulin and calcitonin. Simultaneous expression of thyroglobulin and calcitonin within the same neoplastic cell was considered. She underwent several courses of radioactive iodine therapy without significant effect. Interestingly, her serum calcitonin level was not elevated. CONCLUSION: Coexpression of thyroglobulin and calcitonin in the same cell is very rare. The component of medullary carcinoma should be considered when encountering an atypical thyroid carcinoma with predominance of cells showing oncocytic changes on FNAC and with clinically poor response to conventional treatment. Immunohistochemistry and pathologic analyses are helpful to confirm the diagnosis, especially in the absence of elevated serum calcitonin level. 相似文献

The kinetics of iodination and oxidation of hog thyroglobulin were studied with purified hog thyroid peroxidase and the results were compared with the reactions of free tyrosine. From Lineweaver-Burk plots and on the basis of a value of 0.83 for delta epsilon mM at 289 nm/iodine atom incorporated, the rate constant for transfer of an assumed enzyme-bound iodinium cation to thyroglobulin was estimated to be 6.7 X 10(7) and 2.3 X 10(7) M-1 s-1 in native (iodine content = 1.0%) and more iodinated (iodine content = 1.2%) thyroglobulins, respectively. This iodine-transferring reaction was stimulated by iodothyronines, similarly as observed in the reaction with free tyrosine. The iodination of thyroglobulin was inhibited by GSH, the inhibition being competitive with thyroglobulin. Thyroglobulin was oxidized in the presence of a thyroid peroxidase system without giving any appreciable change in absorbance around 300 nm. From stopped flow data, the oxidation was concluded to occur by way of two-electron transfer and the rate constant for the reaction of thyroid peroxidase Compound I with thyroglobulin was estimated to be 1.0 X 10(7) M-1 s-1. The stopped flow kinetic pattern was similar to that observed on the reaction with free tyrosine and monoiodotyrosine. About 6 mol of hydrogen peroxide were consumed per mol of thyroglobulin. Thyroid peroxidase catalyzed thyroglobulin-mediated oxidation of GSH, but lactoperoxidase did not. 相似文献

Slices of dog thyroid gland were incubated with liposomes consisting of (125)I-labelled phosphatidylcholine (the iodine was covalently linked to unsaturated fatty acyl chains). The (125)I label of (125)I-labelled liposomes was incorporated into thyroid protein and/or thyroglobulin at a higher rate than was the (131)I label of either Na(131)I or (131)I(2). The iodine was shown to be protein-bound by the co-migration of the labelled iodine with protein under conditions where free iodine, iodide and lipid-bound iodine were removed from protein. The uptake of iodine from the iodinated phospholipid was probably due to phospholipid exchange between the iodinated liposomes and the thyroid cell membrane, since (a) (14)C-labelled phospholipid was metabolized to (14)CO(2) and (b) many lipids in the tissue slice became (14)C-labelled. A very strong inhibition of iodide ;uptake' from Na(131)I, caused by thiosulphate, produced only a minor inhibition of the incorporation of (125)I from (125)I-labelled liposomes into thyroid protein and/or thyroglobulin. This implies that free iodide may not necessarily be formed from the iodinated phospholipids before their entrance or utilization in the cell. Synthetic polytyrosine polypeptide suspensions showed some iodination by (131)I-labelled liposomes. In tissues with low tyrosine contents, such as liver and kidney, only a trace uptake was observed. Salivary gland showed some uptake. Endoplasmic reticulum of thyroid gland showed a higher iodine uptake than that of the corresponding plasma membranes. These experiments, together with the demonstration of the diet-dependent presence of iodinated phospholipids in dog thyroid, leads us to suggest that iodination of the membrane phospholipids of thyroid cells may be directly or indirectly involved at some stage in the synthesis of thyroglobulin, or exists as a scavenger mechanism, to re-utilize and/or recover released iodine from unstable compounds inside the thyroid cell. 相似文献

The effect of excess iodide on hog thyroid gland has been examined with regard to the change in the chemical composition of thyroglobulin and in the accumulation of 27-S iodoprotein by the in vivo treatment of hogs with iodide for various lengths of time. The iodine content of thyroglobulin was either unchanged by short term administration of excess iodide, or somewhat lowered. However, the iodine content as well as the total amount of thyroglobulin increased in the glands enlarged by prolonged treatment with iodide. The iodine highest reached 1.17% of the protein on an average. On the other hand, 27-S iodoprotein decreased and finally disappeared after the chronic treatment. Monoiodotyrosine and diiodotyrosine increased in parallel with the increase in the iodine content (0.15 to 1.17%) caused by the iodide treatment, while thyroxine increased but reached a plateau at the level of three residues per mole of thyroglobulin, and no change was observed even in the proteins with the higher iodine content than 0.75%. Proteolytic activity measured by amino acid release from the thyroid protein was depressed by the chronic treatment. On the other hand, the amount of iodocompound released by the autoproteolysis, which may reflect hormone secretion, increased, possibly because of the marked increase in the iodine content of thyroglobulin. 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

OBJECTIVE: The case of a 60-year-old male patient with follicular thyroid cancer who developed a pituitary mass proved to be a metastasis from thyroid cancer. METHODS: Assessment with whole-body scan, ultrasound, computed tomography and thyroglobulin measurements. RESULTS: Despite surgery and repeated doses of radioiodine, the patient developed diplopia and ptosis of the right eyelid, along with increasing thyroglobulin levels. A pituitary mass was discovered, with no signs of pituitary deficiency. The mass was removed and found to consist of neoplastic cells immunohistochemically positive to thyroglobulin. CONCLUSIONS: Distant metastases may develop in cases of follicular thyroid carcinoma, even after repeated doses of (131)I. Metastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma to the pituitary is a rare entity. 相似文献

The authors study by means of immunoperoxidase method the pattern of thyroglobulin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine distribution in 58 cases of thyroid disorders: 15 euthyroid goiters, 10 Graves' disease, 7 Hashimoto's thyroiditis, 11 folliculo-papillary carcinomas (6 primary tumors and 5 lymph node metastases), 8 follicular carcinomas, 4 anaplastic carcinomas and 3 medullary carcinomas. Thyroglobulin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine were present in most of the thyroid disorders, excepting anaplastic and medullary carcinomas. Thyroglobulin and thyroxine were localized both in the follicular epithelium and in the colloid, whereas triiodothyronine was present especially in the follicular cells. The thyroid hormones distribution in benign lesions is rather similar. In carcinomas, the pattern of thyroglobulin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine is more heterogeneous, but generally the triiodothyronine distribution is similar to that of thyroglobulin. In some carcinomas, triiodothyronine and thyroxine showed a weak or negative immunostaining. The immunoperoxidase method is a valuable tool in the study of functional disturbances in the thyroid pathology and in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma metastases as well. Positive thyroid hormones staining clearly indicates the thyroid origin of metastases. 相似文献

As a tool with which to detect iodinated compounds in human thyroid specimens, we have reevaluated a nonincineration technique which has so far been employed in the determination of thyroxine-iodine in peripheral blood. The catalytic action of iodoamino acids in the Ce-As reaction was enhanced by a small amount of Cl2. On the contrary, a large amount of Cl2 inhibited the reaction unexpectedly. Among iodide, iodotyrosine and iodothyronine, iodide was the most effective catalyst in the Ce-As reaction and iodothyronine was the least effective one. Protein seemed to inhibit this reaction of thyroglobulin. But the result of iodine content in thyroglobulin by this technique agreed well with that by incineration when measured 127I was corrected by percent activity of dializable part of the total activity of 131I-thyroglobulin with the same protein concentration, after the NaClO treatment. The results of human thyroid specimens were as follows: the thyroglobulin content of five normal subjects was 8.0 +/- 1.5% of wet thyroid weight. That of Hashimoto's disease was significantly decreased which seemed compatible with the decrease in iodine content of thyroglobulin, whereas thyroglobulin content of Graves disease treated with 1-methyl, 2-mercaptoimidazole followed by a large dose of iodide was well preserved in spite of a lower degree of iodination of thyroglobulin. As for the distribution of iodoamino acids-iodine in normal thyroid, T4 was 20.5 +/- 0.7%. This technique ultimately looks promising as a tool with which to study intrathyroidal iodine metabolism in human. 相似文献

Follicular thyroglobulin (TG) reflects the storage of both iodine and thyroid hormone. This is because it is a macromolecular precursor of thyroid hormone and organic iodinated compound in follicular lumen. Thus, it may have an important feedback role in thyroid function. In this study, monolayer cells were cultured and follicles were reconstituted with primary pig thyroid cells in vitro. Reconstituted follicles were treated with iodine and methimazole (MMI), a drug that blocks iodine organification and reduces the degree of TG iodination in follicular lumen. The high degree of iodinated TG in follicular lumen was observed to inhibit thyroid-restricted gene expression. To confirm this finding, monolayer thyroid cells were treated with a different degree of TG iodination at the same concentration. These iodinated TG were extracted from reconstituted follicles of different groups. In this manner, this study provides firsthand evidence suggesting that follicular TG inhibits the expressions of thyroid-restricted genes NIS, TPO, TG, and TSHr. 相似文献

Pig thyroid slices were incubated with Na131I and the 17--19S 131I-labeled thyroglobulin isolated was subjected to dissociation with 0.3 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate SDS) on sucrose density gradient centrifugation and to iodoamino acid analysis. During the incubation, initially dissociable thyroglobulin was gradually altered to 0.3 mM SDS-resistant species with increasing incorporation of iodine. Microsome-bound, poorly iodinated thyroglobulin and preformed thyroglobulin were chemically iodinated and then subjected to analysis of dissociability and iodoamino acid contents with newly incorporated iodine. The results indicated that the behavior of the former thyroglobulin resembled that of 131I-thyroglobulin obtained from the slices. Then, thyroid slices were incubated for 3 min with Na131I and 3H-leucine with or without 10-min chase incubation. The sucrose density gradient centrifugation patterns of 131I and 3H-radioactivity of cytoplasmic extracts indicated that 131I-thyroglobulin is contained in particulates, especially in vesicles with low density(d=1.12) and that some of them are released into the soluble fraction within 10 min. The vesicles contained peroxidase and NADH-cytochrome c reductase, and are probably exocytotic vesicles in the apical area of cytoplasm of follicular cells. No positive evidence was obtained that plasma membranes participate in the iodination of thyroglobulin under the present experimental conditions. These results suggest that, in the incubation of thyroid slices, iodine atoms are preferentially incorporated into newly synthesized, less iodinated thyroglobulin, rather than preformed thyroglobulin, and that the iodination occurs, at least to a certain degree, in apical vesicles before the thyroglobulin is secreted into the colloid lumen. 相似文献

Free diiosotyrosine exerts two opposite effects on the reactions catalyzed by thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin iodination and thyroid hormone formation. 1. Inhibition of thyroglobulin iodination catalyzed by thyroid peroxidase was observed when free diiodotyrosine concentration was higher than 5 muM. This inhibition was competitive, suggesting that free diiodotyrosine interacts with the substrate site(s) of thyroid peroxidase. Free diiodotyrosine also competively inhibited iodide peroxidation to I2. 2. Free diiodotyrosine, when incubated with thyroid peroxidase in the absence of iodide was recovered unmodified; in the presence of iodide an exchange reaction was observed between the iodine atoms present in the diiodotyrosine molecule and iodide present in the medium. Using 14C-labelled diiodotyrosine, 14C-labelled non-iodinated products were also observed, showing that deiodination occurred as a minor degradation pathway. However, no monoiodo[14C]tyrosine or E114C]tyrosine were observed. Exchange reaction between free diiototyrosine and iodide is therefore direct and does not imply deiodination-iodination intermediary steps. Thyroglobulin inhibits diiodotyrosine-iodide exchange and vice versa, again suggesting competition for both reactions. These results support, by a different experimental approach, the two-site model for peroxidase previously described by us in this journal. 3. Free diiodotyrosine when present at a very low concentration, 0.05 muM, exerts a stimulatory effect on throid hormones synthesis. The relationship between diiodotyrosine concentration and thyroid hormone synthesis give an S-shaped curve, suggesting that free diiodotyrosine acts as a regulatory ligand for thyroid peroxidase. Evidence is also presented that free diiodotyrosine is not incorporated into thyroid hormones. Therefore, thyroid peroxidase catalyzes only intra-molecular coupling between iodotyrosine hormonogenic residues. 4. Finally, although no direct proof exists that these free diiodotyrosine effects upon thyroglobulin iodination and thyroid hormone synthesis are physiologically significant, such a possibility deserves further investigation. 相似文献

Summary In the thyroid follicles of species of cyclostomes, a hagfish and a lamprey, the distribution of stable iodine was examined by electron-probe X-ray microanalysis. A high concentration of stable iodine, heterogeneously distributed, was observed in the follicular cells of hagfish thyroid follicles. In the lamprey a low concentration of iodine was seen in the follicular lumina. The relative values for stable iodine determined in this way corresponded to values obtained by a chemical analytical method. 相似文献

Thyroglobulin (mol. wt. 660 kDa) is the specific protein of the thyroid gland in which are synthesized and stored the thyroid hormones (thyroxine and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine). It is formed of equal-sized subunits (330 kDa) containing each identical polypeptide chains to which are associated two types of oligosaccharide units representing 8 to 10% by weight of the protein. The studies reported in this paper describe the presence in thyroglobulin of discrete hormonogenic sites. After chemical (CNBr) and enzymatic (trypsin and protease V8 of S. aureus) treatments of the protein, four different hormone-containing peptide segments have been isolated, purified and sequenced. They correspond to the hormonogenic tyrosine-containing sites of the protein. One tyrosine is located at 4 amino acid residues from the N-terminal asparagine of the chain and is a major site for thyroxine synthesis. Another one which represents the triiodothyronine site is situated 2 amino acids before the C-terminal lysine. Finally, two other sites, one of low affinity and the other of high affinity for iodine and thyroxine formation, are equally located in the C-terminal part of the chain. The hormone-forming regions localized at the opposite far ends of the thyroglobulin chain(s) likely represent zones more accessible to iodination and with a conformation suited for the coupling of iodotyrosine into iodothyronine residues and ultimately protease attack to release the free hormones into the circulation. The presence of hormonogenic sites of different affinities for iodine allows thyroglobulin to modulate adaptively its hormonogenic capacity to external iodine supply. The molecular mechanism of this process is still unknown. 相似文献

Intracellular dense bodies, cytoplasmic matrices, and luminal colloids in the thyroid follicle of cyclostomes, hagfish and lamprey were examined to identify the distribution of iodine using an energy dispersive X-ray microanalyzer attached to a scanning transmission electron microscope. High level of iodine was detected only in the large dense body of the hagfishes, while it was too slight in quantity to detect by this method in the cytoplasmic matrix as well as in the luminal colloid. In the adult lamprey thyroid, an appreciable amount of iodine was detected in a few large dense bodies. In mice and rats, it is very hard to detect iodine in the luminal colloid, intracellular colloid droplet, and in the lysosomal dense granule by this method, though these structures have been well known to contain a fairly large amount of iodine which is combined with thyroglobulin. These facts mean that intracellular dense bodies in the thyroid follicular epithelium of the cytoclostome, especially of the hagfish have an extremely larger amount of iodine. These bodies are considered to be secondary lysosomes or residual bodies containing reabsorbed colloid materials which are highly condensed. 相似文献

The biochemical properties of serum thyroglobulin obtained from six patients with follicular carcinoma of the thyroid and distant metastases to bone(s) have been studied. Since it is difficult to isolate sufficient thyroglobulin from serum samples, in vivo radioiodinated serum thyroglobulin obtained after radioiodine administration was used. In contrast to a sharp salting-out pattern observed with native thyroglobulin isolated from normal thyroid tissue, a broad salting-out curve was seen with metastatic serum thyroglobulin. The metastatic serum thyroglobulin eluted with low ionic strength from ion-exchange column. More than 95% of metastatic serum thyroglobulin could be bound to concanavalin-A sepharose and be eluted with 0.5 M alpha-methyl mannoside. The reactivity of metastatic serum thyroglobulin and native thyroglobulin towards concanavalin-A was comparable. Both types of thyroglobulins showed identical mobilities on sucrose linear density gradient centrifugation. The metastatic serum thyroglobulin from follicular carcinoma of the thyroid thus appears to be 19 S thyroglobulin with near normal concanavalin-A binding sugars but altered surface charges. 相似文献

Down regulation of hypertrophied follicular cell volume in thyroid hyperplastic gland 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In the present study, changes in thyroid follicular cell volume and its regulation have been investigated during the early involution of a hyperplastic goitre. Male Wistar rats were administered an iodine deficient diet for 6 months with propylthiouracil (PTU, 0.15%) during the last two months. At the end of iodine deficiency (day 0), some rats were killed and the others received a normal iodine diet. These rats were killed after different periods of iodine refeeding. Thyroid follicular cell volume was very high in hyperplastic gland whereas thyroid protein concentration was low. Thyroid follicular cell volume quickly decreased when rats were normally iodine refed, whereas thyroid protein concentration increased. Electron microscopal observations showed that thyroid follicular cells retained their endocrine aspect in hyperplastic state and throughout the iodine refeeding period. Using concomitant stereological and biochemical techniques, it is shown that the amount of cellular iodide and an unknown iodinated compound strongly increased during the early iodine refeeding. Plasma TSH was high on day 0 and remained at this level until day 8 whereas plasma T3 and T4 were low on day 0 and remained at this low level until day 4. The present data show that the involution of thyroid follicular cell volume is induced by iodide and mediated by an iodinated compound at least in the initial phase, and is independent of plasma TSH, T3, T4, so indicating the involvement of a thyroid autoregulatory mechanism. These changes in cell volume may be of importance in ion transport, i.e. in the metabolism of thyroid follicular cell during the early involution of the hyperplastic goitre. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody (RBU/01) was raised against human thyroglobulin and its suitability for the immunohistochemical staining of thyroglobulin was determined on fixed, wax-embedded tissue, using the peroxidase anti-peroxidase (PAP) method. The antibody was then used to demonstrate the expression of human thyroglobulin in sections of a human follicular carcinoma of the thyroid which had been grown in immunodeficient mice. It is concluded that the immunohistochemical evaluation of the xenografts with the antibody provides useful information on this xenograft system as a potential model for thyroid carcinoma. 相似文献

The prothyroid hormone, thyroglobulin (Tg), is stored at high concentrations in the thyroid follicular lumen as a soluble 19S homo-dimer and as heavier soluble (27S and 37S) and insoluble (Tgm) forms. Follicular degradation of Tg may contribute to maintaining Tg concentrations compatible with follicle integrity. Here, we report on the presence of a plasminogen-like protein in the follicular lumen of normal human thyroids and its synthesis and apical secretion by cultured epithelial thyroid cells. Since all the main luminal forms of Tg are cleaved by this plasminogen-like protein, we suggest that it contributes to Tg degradation in the follicular lumen. 相似文献
