Thyroid Hormone Transporter Deficiency in Mice Impacts Multiple Stages of GABAergic Interneuron Development.

ABSTRACT: Cortical interneuron neurogenesis is strictly regulated and depends on the presence of thyroid hormone (TH). In particular, inhibitory interneurons expressing the calcium binding protein Parvalbumin are highly sensitive toward developmental hypothyroidism. Reduced numbers of Parvalbumin-positive interneurons are observed in mice due to the combined absence of the TH transporters Mct8 and Oatp1c1. To unravel if cortical Parvalbumin-positive interneurons depend on cell-autonomous action of Mct8/Oatp1c1, we compared Mct8/Oatp1c1 double knockout (dko) mice to conditional knockouts with abolished TH transporter expression in progenitors of Parvalbumin-positive interneurons. These conditional knockouts exhibited a transient delay in the appearance of Parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the early postnatal somatosensory cortex while cell numbers remained permanently reduced in Mct8/Oatp1c1 dko mice. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization on E12.5 embryonic brains, we detected reduced expression of sonic hedgehog signaling components in Mct8/Oatp1c1 dko embryos only. Moreover, we revealed spatially distinct expression patterns of both TH transporters at brain barriers at E12.5 by immunofluorescence. At later developmental stages, we uncovered a sequential expression of first Oatp1c1 in individual interneurons and then Mct8 in Parvalbumin-positive subtypes. Together, our results point to multiple cell-autonomous and noncell-autonomous mechanisms that depend on proper TH transport during cortical interneuron development.

Increased sensitivity to thyroid hormone in mice with complete deficiency of thyroid hormone receptor alpha.

Project description:Only three of the four thyroid hormone receptor (TR) isoforms, alpha1, beta1, and beta2, bind thyroid hormone (TH) and are considered to be true TRs. TRalpha2 binds to TH response elements on DNA, but its role in vivo is still unknown. We produced mice completely deficient in TRalpha (TRalpha(o/o)) that maintain normal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration despite low serum thyroxine (T(4)), suggesting increased sensitivity to TH. We therefore examined the effects of TH (L-3,3',5-triiodothyronine, L-T3) given to TH-deprived and to intact TRalpha(o/o) mice. Controls were wild-type (WT) mice of the same strain and mice resistant to TH due to deficiency in TRbeta (TRbeta(-/-)). In liver, T3 produced significantly greater responses in TRalpha(o/o) and smaller responses in TRbeta(-/-) as compared with WT mice. In contrast, cardiac responses to L-T3 were absent or reduced in TRalpha(o/o), whereas they were similar in WT and TRbeta(-/-) mice, supporting the notion that TRalpha1 is the dominant TH-dependent TR isoform in heart. 5-Triiodothyronine (L-T3) given to intact mice produced a greater suppression of serum T(4) in TRalpha(o/o) than it did in WT mice and reduced by a greater amount the TSH response to TSH-releasing hormone. This is an in vivo demonstration that a TR deficiency can enhance sensitivity to TH. This effect is likely due to the abrogation of the constitutive "silencing" effect of TRalpha2 in tissues expressing the TRbeta isoforms.

Abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism in mice lacking the monocarboxylate transporter 8.

Project description:In humans, inactivating mutations in the gene of the thyroid hormone transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8; SLC16A2) lead to severe forms of psychomotor retardation combined with imbalanced thyroid hormone serum levels. The MCT8-null mice described here, however, developed without overt deficits but also exhibited distorted 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) serum levels, resulting in increased hepatic activity of type 1 deiodinase (D1). In the mutants' brains, entry of T4 was not affected, but uptake of T3 was diminished. Moreover, the T4 and T3 content in the brain of MCT8-null mice was decreased, the activity of D2 was increased, and D3 activity was decreased, indicating the hypothyroid state of this tissue. In the CNS, analysis of T3 target genes revealed that in the mutants, the neuronal T3 uptake was impaired in an area-specific manner, with strongly elevated thyrotropin-releasing hormone transcript levels in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus and slightly decreased RC3 mRNA expression in striatal neurons; however, cerebellar Purkinje cells appeared unaffected, since they did not exhibit dendritic outgrowth defects and responded normally to T3 treatment in vitro. In conclusion, the circulating thyroid hormone levels of MCT8-null mice closely resemble those of humans with MCT8 mutations, yet in the mice, CNS development is only partially affected.

The iodide transporter Slc26a7 impacts thyroid function more strongly than Slc26a4 in mice.

Project description:SLC26A4 is a known iodide transporter, and is localized at the apical membrane of thyrocytes. Previously, we reported that SLC26A7 is also involved in iodide transport and that Slc26a7 is a novel causative gene for congenital hypothyroidism. However, its detailed role in vivo remains to be elucidated. We generated mice that were deficient in Slc26a7 and Slc26a4 to delineate differences and associations in their roles in iodide transport. Slc26a7-/- mice showed goitrous congenital hypothyroidism and mild growth failure on a normal diet. Slc26a7-/- mice with a low iodine environment showed marked growth failure. In contrast, Slc26a4-/- mice showed no growth failure and hypothyroidism in the same low iodine environment. Double-deficient mice showed more severe growth failure than Slc26a7-/- mice. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in Slc26a7-/- mice was significantly higher than that in Slc26a4-/- mice. These indicate that SLC26A7 is more strongly involved in iodide transport and the maintenance of thyroid function than SLC26A4.

Sex impacts cardiac function and the proteome response to thyroid hormone in aged mice.

Project description:BackgroundSex and age have substantial influence on thyroid function. Sex influences the risk and clinical expression of thyroid disorders (TDs), with age a proposed trigger for the development of TDs. Cardiac function is affected by thyroid hormone levels with gender differences. Accordingly, we investigated the proteomic changes involved in sex based cardiac responses to thyroid dysfunction in elderly mice.MethodsAged (18-20 months) male and female C57BL/6 mice were fed diets to create euthyroid, hypothyroid, or hyperthyroid states. Serial echocardiographs were performed to assess heart function. Proteomic changes in cardiac protein profiles were assessed by 2-D DIGE and LC-MS/MS, and a subset confirmed by immunoblotting.ResultsSerial echocardiographs showed ventricular function remained unchanged regardless of treatment. Heart rate and size increased (hyperthyroid) or decreased (hypothyroid) independent of sex. Pairwise comparison between the six groups identified 55 proteins (≥ 1.5-fold difference and p < 0.1). Compared to same-sex controls 26/55 protein changes were in the female hypothyroid heart, whereas 15/55 protein changes were identified in the male hypothyroid, and male and female hyperthyroid heart. The proteins mapped to oxidative phosphorylation, tissue remodeling and inflammatory response pathways.ConclusionWe identified both predicted and novel proteins with gender specific differential expression in response to thyroid hormone status, providing a catalogue of proteins associated with thyroid dysfunction. Pursuit of these proteins and their involvement in cardiac function will expand our understanding of mechanisms involved in sex-based cardiac response to thyroid dysfunction.

GABAergic interneuron dysfunction impairs hippocampal neurogenesis in adult apolipoprotein E4 knockin mice.

Project description:Apolipoprotein (apo) E, a polymorphic protein with three isoforms (apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4), is essential for lipid homeostasis. Carriers of apoE4 are at higher risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. We have investigated adult neurogenesis in mice with knockout (KO) for apoE or with knockin (KI) alleles for human apoE3 or apoE4, and we report that neurogenesis is reduced in both apoE-KO and apoE4-KI mice. In apoE-KO mice, increased BMP signaling promoted glial differentiation at the expense of neurogenesis. In contrast, in apoE4-KI mice, presynaptic GABAergic input-mediated maturation of newborn neurons was diminished. Tau phosphorylation, an Alzheimer's disease characteristic, and levels of neurotoxic apoE fragments were both elevated in apoE4-KI hippocampal neurons concomitant with decreased GABAergic interneuron survival. Potentiating GABAergic signaling restored neuronal maturation and neurogenesis in apoE4-KI mice to normal levels. These findings suggest that GABAergic signaling can be targeted to mitigate the deleterious effects of apoE4 on neurogenesis.

Triac Treatment Prevents Neurodevelopmental and Locomotor Impairments in Thyroid Hormone Transporter Mct8/Oatp1c1 Deficient Mice.

Project description:Patients with inactive thyroid hormone (TH) transporter MCT8 display intellectual disability due to compromised central TH transport and action. As a therapeutic strategy, application of thyromimetic, MCT8-independent compounds Triac (3,5,3'-triiodothyroacetic acid), and Ditpa (3,5-diiodo-thyropropionic acid) was proposed. Here, we directly compared their thyromimetic potential in Mct8/Oatp1c1 double knock-out mice (Dko) modeling human MCT8 deficiency. Dko mice received either Triac (50 ng/g or 400 ng/g) or Ditpa (400 ng/g or 4000 ng/g) daily during the first three postnatal weeks. Saline-injected Wt and Dko mice served as controls. A second cohort of Dko mice received Triac (400 ng/g) daily between postnatal weeks 3 and 6. Thyromimetic effects were assessed at different postnatal stages by immunofluorescence, ISH, qPCR, electrophysiological recordings, and behavior tests. Triac treatment (400 ng/g) induced normalized myelination, cortical GABAergic interneuron differentiation, electrophysiological parameters, and locomotor performance only when administered during the first three postnatal weeks. Ditpa (4000 ng/g) application to Dko mice during the first three postnatal weeks resulted in normal myelination and cerebellar development but only mildly improved neuronal parameters and locomotor function. Together, Triac is highly-effective and more efficient than Ditpa in promoting CNS maturation and function in Dko mice yet needs to be initiated directly after birth for the most beneficial effects.

Reduction of seizures by transplantation of cortical GABAergic interneuron precursors into Kv1.1 mutant mice.

Project description:Epilepsy, a disease characterized by abnormal brain activity, is a disabling and potentially life-threatening condition for nearly 1% of the world population. Unfortunately, modulation of brain excitability using available antiepileptic drugs can have serious side effects, especially in the developing brain, and some patients can only be improved by surgical removal of brain regions containing the seizure focus. Here, we show that bilateral transplantation of precursor cells from the embryonic medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) into early postnatal neocortex generates mature GABAergic interneurons in the host brain. In mice receiving MGE cell grafts, GABA-mediated synaptic and extrasynaptic inhibition onto host brain pyramidal neurons is significantly increased. Bilateral MGE cell grafts in epileptic mice lacking a Shaker-like potassium channel (a gene mutated in one form of human epilepsy) resulted in significant reductions in the duration and frequency of spontaneous electrographic seizures. Our findings suggest that MGE-derived interneurons could be used to ameliorate abnormal excitability and possibly act as an effective strategy in the treatment of epilepsy.

The Thyroid Hormone Transporter Mct8 Restricts Cathepsin-Mediated Thyroglobulin Processing in Male Mice through Thyroid Auto-Regulatory Mechanisms That Encompass Autophagy.

Project description:The thyroid gland is both a thyroid hormone (TH) generating as well as a TH responsive organ. It is hence crucial that cathepsin-mediated proteolytic cleavage of the precursor thyroglobulin is regulated and integrated with the subsequent export of TH into the blood circulation, which is enabled by TH transporters such as monocarboxylate transporters Mct8 and Mct10. Previously, we showed that cathepsin K-deficient mice exhibit the phenomenon of functional compensation through cathepsin L upregulation, which is independent of the canonical hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis, thus, due to auto-regulation. Since these animals also feature enhanced Mct8 expression, we aimed to understand if TH transporters are part of the thyroid auto-regulatory mechanisms. Therefore, we analyzed phenotypic differences in thyroid function arising from combined cathepsin K and TH transporter deficiencies, i.e., in Ctsk-/-/Mct10-/-, Ctsk-/-/Mct8-/y, and Ctsk-/-/Mct8-/y/Mct10-/-. Despite the impaired TH export, thyroglobulin degradation was enhanced in the mice lacking Mct8, particularly in the triple-deficient genotype, due to increased cathepsin amounts and enhanced cysteine peptidase activities, leading to ongoing thyroglobulin proteolysis for TH liberation, eventually causing self-thyrotoxic thyroid states. The increased cathepsin amounts were a consequence of autophagy-mediated lysosomal biogenesis that is possibly triggered due to the stress accompanying intrathyroidal TH accumulation, in particular in the Ctsk-/-/Mct8-/y/Mct10-/- animals. Collectively, our data points to the notion that the absence of cathepsin K and Mct8 leads to excessive thyroglobulin degradation and TH liberation in a non-classical pathway of thyroid auto-regulation.

Retinoic acid induces expression of the thyroid hormone transporter, monocarboxylate transporter 8 (Mct8).

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) and thyroid hormone are critical for differentiation and organogenesis in the embryo. Mct8 (monocarboxylate transporter 8), expressed predominantly in the brain and placenta, mediates thyroid hormone uptake from the circulation and is required for normal neural development. RA induces differentiation of F9 mouse teratocarcinoma cells toward neurons as well as extraembryonal endoderm. We hypothesized that Mct8 is functionally expressed in F9 cells and induced by RA. All-trans-RA (tRA) and other RA receptor (RAR) agonists dramatically (>300-fold) induced Mct8. tRA treatment significantly increased uptake of triiodothyronine and thyroxine (4.1- and 4.3-fold, respectively), which was abolished by a selective Mct8 inhibitor, bromosulfophthalein. Sequence inspection of the Mct8 promoter region and 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends PCR analysis in F9 cells identified 11 transcription start sites and a proximal Sp1 site but no TATA box. tRA significantly enhanced Mct8 promoter activity through a consensus RA-responsive element located 6.6 kilobases upstream of the coding region. A chromatin immunoprecipitation assay demonstrated binding of RAR and retinoid X receptor to the RA response element. The promotion of thyroid hormone uptake through the transcriptional up-regulation of Mct8 by RAR is likely to be important for extraembryonic endoderm development and neural differentiation. This finding demonstrates cross-talk between RA signaling and thyroid hormone signaling in early development at the level of the thyroid hormone transporter.
