Thyroid hormone

Secretion of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) from the thyroid gland provides an overall “set-point” for the activity of thyroid hormonal axisThe hormone from adrenal cortex and gonads, influence the thyroid hormone plasma concentration by governing the cellular uptake and metabolism of thyroid hormonesThe “prereceptor” processes is critical determinants of the cellular level of T3 available for binding tonuclear thyroid hormone receptors The metabolic fate of thyroid hormones in peripheral tissues serves an important control mechanism of thyroid hormone action

intracellular metabolic alterations of T4 in peripheral tissues

Triac

- an Acetic acid analogue formed by decarboxylation and deamination of T3 Have greater intrinsic biopotency because of their increased affinity for thyroid hormone receptorsReverse T3 (rT3) formed by 5-deiodination of T4Sulfated and glucuronidated forms of T4 and T3 formed by conjugation of the phenolic ring hydroxyl groupProgressive deiodination of T4, T3, and rT3 results in the formation of various diiodinated and monoiodinated thyronines- generally believed to have little or no

biologicactivity3,5-T2 has been demonstrated to enhance mitochondrial respiratory function, favorably impact circulating lipid levels, liver metabolism, and insulin resistance in response to a high-fat diet or LDL receptor deficiency and have a protective effect on the development of diabetic nephropathy

the circulating

monoiodinated compound 3-iodothyronamine (T1AM) produces bradycardia, dramatic decreases in body temperature and metabolic rate, and improved memorysome of opposite effects to that expected of a classic thyroid hormone, are believed to result from nongenomic mechanisms via the G-protein–coupled trace amine–associated receptors or other high-affinity molecular targetsTetrac and Triac are much better substrates for glucuronidation than are T4 and T3The acetic acid analogues and sulfated conjugates are also markedly better substrates for deiodination in the liver and kidney than are the native compounds

Thyroid HORMONE kinetics

Approximately 80% of the daily disposal of T4 by deiodination at either the 5’ or 5 position

T3 and rT3, are present primarily in the intracellular compartment

the form of acetic acid analogue in the urine is suggesting that deamination plays important role in thyroid hormone metabolism than is apparent from the very low circulating levels of

Tetrac

and

Triac

Consists “hidden pools” of thyroid hormone metabolites

The high affinity of T4 for

plasmabinding proteins, along with its greater production rate, accounts for its relatively high concentration in serum, as well as its long serum half-lifeT3 and rT3 are present at much lower serum concentrations because of their lower production rates, greater metabolic clearance rates, and lower affinity for TBGThe two triiodothyronines appear to reside primarily within the intracellular compartment, and thus their volumes of distribution are significantly greater than that of T4 The rate of T4 production remains remarkably constant

Thyroid HORMONE Production

Three deiodinase isoforms, termed D1, D2, and D3, are present in vertebrate species

differ in their catalytic properties, patterns of tissue expression, and mechanisms of regulation

5’ deiodination reactions is considered as activating processes,

And 5 deiodination reactions is considered as inactivating processes

The deiodinases all require the availability of a reduced thiol cofactor for efficient catalytic cycling

to displace iodine from an enzyme intermediate formed during the reaction and thus to regenerate the active deiodinaseD1 is sometimes referred to as a “high Km” enzymeD2 is said to catalyze a “low Km” 5’-deiodination processInhibitorsmarked sensitivity of D1 to the antithyroid drug propylthiouracil (PTU)thioureylene drugs carbimazole and methimazole have no inhibitory effect on deiodination

Deiodinase Structure

a molecular mass of approximately 29 to 32 kDfunction as homodimersAs integral membrane protein as they contain a hydrophobic region near the N terminusselenoproteins in that they contain the uncommon amino acid selenocysteine as the reactive residue in the catalytic cleftselenocysteine ionized at physiologic pH, thus serving as a much more potent nucleophile than cysteineDuring post translation a specific stem-loop structure in the 3’-untranslated region of the mRNA termed a selenocysteine insertion sequence directed its incorporationA unique tRNA, (Sec-tRNA[Sec]), a specific RNA binding protein, and a specialized elongation factor are also required for efficient synthesis of selenoproteins

Deiodinase regulation

regulated by multiple hormones, growth factors, and environmental and nutritional factorsalterations in thyroid status induce profound changes in enzyme activityHypothyroidism is associated with a marked decrease in D1 and D3 levels, whereas D2 activity increases several fold and Opposite changes occur in hyperthyroidismHyperthyroidism results in rapid downregulation of D2 activity by ubiquitination of the D2 protein D2 mRNA is Decreased and D2 mRNA is decreasedCatalysis-induced inactivation of D1-

the 3’-untranslated region of the human D1 mRNA has been proposed as a target for the micro-RNA MiR-224

TSH and

thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins stimulate both D1 and D2 activity

in brown adipose tissue, where cold exposure, bile acids, or intracerebroventricular administration of leptin markedly stimulate D2 activity

in the liver, where nutritional deprivation, diabetes, tumor necrosis factor, and other cytokines decrease D1 activity
