Thyroid stimulating hormone stimulates the expression of glucose transporter 2 via its receptor in pancreatic ? cell line, INS-1 cells.

ABSTRACT: Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the secretion of thyroid hormones by binding the TSH receptor (TSHR). TSHR is well-known to be expressed in thyroid tissue, excepting it, TSHR has also been expressed in many other tissues. In this study, we have examined the expression of TSHR in rat pancreatic islets and evaluated the role of TSH in regulating pancreas-specific gene expression. TSHR was confirmed to be expressed in rodent pancreatic islets and its cell line, INS-1 cells. TSH directly affected the glucose uptake in INS cells by up-regulating the expression of GLUT2, and furthermore this process was blocked by SB203580, the specific inhibitor of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. Similarly, TSH stimulated GLUT2 promoter activity, while both a dominant-negative p38MAPK ? isoform (p38MAPK ?-DN) and the specific inhibitor for p38MAPK ? abolished the stimulatory effect of TSH on GLUT2 promoter activity. Finally, INS-1 cells treated with TSH showed increased protein level of glucokinase and enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Together, these results confirm that TSHR is expressed in INS-1 cells and rat pancreatic islets, and suggest that activation of the p38MAPK ? might be required for TSH-induced GLUT2 gene transcription in pancreatic ? cells.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Overt thyroid dysfunction has been associated with adverse obstetric outcomes. However, less is known regarding subclinical hypothyroidism or thyroid autoimmunity and their relationship to pregnancy complications. OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to examine the association between prepregnancy anti-thyroid antibodies and subclinical hypothyroidism and preterm delivery, gestational diabetes mellitus, and preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN:We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort of 18- to 40-year-old women with 1-2 previous pregnancy losses (n=1193) who participated in a multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled trial of low-dose aspirin. Prepregnancy levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, free thyroxine, thyroglobulin antibody, and thyroid peroxidase antibody were measured. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were estimated with the use of generalized linear models with adjustment for age and body mass index. RESULTS:Among women with an ongoing pregnancy of >20 weeks estimated gestational age, there was no association between prepregnancy thyroid-stimulating hormone level (>2.5 vs ?2.5 mIU/L) and preterm delivery (adjusted relative risk, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.40-1.47), gestational diabetes mellitus (adjusted relative risk, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 0.54-3.04), or preeclampsia (adjusted relative risk, 1.20; 95% confidence interval, 0.71-2.04). Similarly, among women with thyroid antibodies, there was no increase in the likelihood of preterm delivery (relative risk, 1.26; 95% confidence interval, 0.65-2.45), gestational diabetes mellitus (relative risk, 1.33; 95% confidence interval, 0.51-3.49), or preeclampsia (relative risk, 1.02; 95% confidence interval, 0.54-1.92), compared with women without these antibodies. CONCLUSION:Among women with 1-2 previous pregnancy losses, subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmunity were not associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery, gestational diabetes mellitus, or preeclampsia. These data support current recommendations that low-risk asymptomatic women should not be screened routinely for thyroid dysfunction or autoimmunity.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Pre-operative detection of corticotropin (ACTH) secreting microadenomas causing Cushing's disease (CD) improves surgical outcomes. Current best magnetic resonance imaging fails to detect up to 40% of these microadenomas. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is specific, but not sensitive in detecting corticotropinomas. Theoretically, secretagogue stimulation with corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) could improve detection of adenomas with 18F-FDG PET. Previous attempts with simultaneous CRH stimulation have failed to demonstrate increased 18F-FDG uptake in corticotropinomas. We hypothesized that CRH stimulation leads to a delayed elevation in glucose uptake in corticotropinomas. METHODS:Clinical data was analyzed for efficacy of CRH in improving 18FDG-PET detection of corticotropinomas in CD. Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) immunoreactivity was performed on surgical specimens. Ex-vivo, viable cells from these tumors were tested for secretagogue effects (colorimetric glucose uptake), and for fate of intracellular glucose (glycolysis stress analysis). Validation of ex-vivo findings was performed with AtT-20 cells. RESULTS:CRH increased glucose uptake in human-derived corticotroph tumor cells and AtT-20, but not in normal murine or human corticotrophs (p < 0.0001). Continuous and intermittent (1 h) CRH exposure increased glucose uptake in AtT-20 with maximal effect at 4 h (p = 0.001). Similarly, CRH and 8-Br-cAMP led to robust GLUT1 upregulation and increased membrane translocation at 2 h, while fasentin suppressed baseline (p < 0.0001) and CRH-mediated glucose uptake. Expectedly, intra-operatively collected corticotropinomas demonstrated GLUT1 overexpression. Lastly, human derived corticotroph tumor cells demonstrated increased glycolysis and low glucose oxidation. CONCLUSION:Increased and delayed CRH-mediated glucose uptake differentially occurs in adenomatous corticotrophs. Delayed secretagogue-stimulated 18F-FDG PET could improve microadenoma detection.
