Regulation of Gene Expression by Thyroid Hormone in Cultured Astrocytes: Transcriptional Targets and Factors Influencing the Genomic Response

ABSTRACT: Astrocytes mediate the action of thyroid hormone in the brain on other neural cells through the production of the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3) from its precursor thyroxine (T4). T3 has also many effects on the astrocytes in vivo and in culture, but whether these actions are directly mediated by transcriptional regulation is not clear. In this work, we have analyzed the genomic response to T3 of cultured astrocytes isolated from the postnatal mouse cerebral cortex, using RNA sequencing. Cultured astrocytes express relevant genes of thyroid hormone metabolism and action encoding type 2 deiodinase (Dio2), Mct8 transporter (Slc16a2), T3 receptors (Thra1 and Thrb), and nuclear corepressor (Ncor1) and coactivator (Ncoa1). T3 changed the expression of 668 genes (4.5% of expressed genes), of which 117 genes (0.8% of expressed genes) were primary, transcriptional responses. The Wnt and Notch pathways were down-regulated at the post-transcriptional level. Comparison with the effect of T3 on astrocyte-enriched genes in mixed cerebrocortical cultures isolated from fetal cortex revealed that the response to T3 is influenced by the degree of astrocyte maturation, and that in agreement with its physiological effects, T3 promotes the transition between the fetal and adult patterns of gene expression.

Brain gene expression in systemic hypothyroidism and in mouse models of MCT8 deficiency: The Mct8-Oatp1c1-Dio2 triad.

Project description:The monocarboxylate transporter 8 (Mct8) protein is a primary T4 and T3 (TH) transporter. Mutations of the MCT8-encoding, SLC16A2 gene alters thyroid function and thyroid hormone metabolism, and severely impairs neurodevelopment (Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, AHDS). Mct8-deficient mice manifest thyroid alterations but lack neurological signs. It is thought that Mct8 deficiency in mice is compensated by T4 transport through the Slco1c1-encoded organic anion transporter polypeptide 1c1 (Oatp1c1). This allows local brain generation of sufficient T3 by the Dio2-encoded type 2 deiodinase (D2). The Slc16a2/Slco1c1 (MO) and Slc16a2/Dio2 (MD) double knock out mice lacking T4 and T3 transport, or T3 transport and T4 deiodination, would be more approriate models of AHDS. The goal of this work was to compare the cerebral hypothyroidism of systemic hypothyroidism (SH) caused by thyroid gland blockade with that present in the double KOs.

Impaired T3 transport and action underlies the pathophisiology of the Allan-Herdon-Dudley syndrome

Project description:Patients with mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) cell transporter MCT8 gene develop severe neuropsychomotor retardation known as the Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS). It is assumed that this is caused by a reduction in TH signaling in the developing brain during both intrauterine and postnatal developmental stages, and treatment remains understandably challenging. Given species differences in brain TH transporters and the limitations of studies in mice, we generated cerebral organoids (COs) using human iPSCs from MCT8-deficient patients. We found that MCT8-deficient COs exhibit (i) alterations in early neurodevelopment, resulting in smaller neural rosettes with thinner cortical units, (ii) impaired T3 transport in developing neural cells, as assessed through deiodinase-3-mediated T3 catabolism, (iii) reduced expression of genes involved in cerebral cortex development, and (iv) reduced T3-inducibility of TH-regulated genes. In contrast, the TH-analogs 3,5-diiodothyropropionic acid and 3,3’,5-triiodothyroacetic acid triggered normal responses (induction/repression of T3-responsive genes) in MCT8-deficient COs, constituting a proof-of-concept that lack of T3 transport underlies the pathophysiology of AHDS, and demonstrating the clinical potential for TH analogues to be used in treating AHDS patients. MCT8-deficient COs represent a species-specific relevant preclinical model that can be utilized to screen drugs with potential benefits as personalized therapeutics for AHDS patients.

Insight into the role of thyroid hormone on neocortex development through global transcriptome analysis of primary cerebrocortical cells: Identification of genes regulated directly and indirectly by triiodothyronine in specific cell types

Project description:Thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine (T3) are crucial for cerebral cortex development acting through regulation of gene expression. To define the transcriptional program under T3 regulation we have performed RNA-Seq of T3-treated and untreated primary mouse cerebrocortical cells. The expression of 1,145 genes or 7.7% of expressed genes was changed upon T3 addition, of which 371 responded to T3 in the presence of cycloheximide indicating direct transcriptional regulation. The results were compared with available transcriptomic datasets of defined cellular types. In this way we could identify genomic targets of T3 in astrocytes and neurons, and in neuron subtypes, such as layer-specific neurons, and neurons expressing specific markers such as prepronociceptin, cholecystokinin, or cortistatin. T3 up-regulates mostly genes related to cell membrane events, such as G-protein signaling, neurotransmission, and ion transport, and down-regulates genes involved in nuclear events, such as cell division, M phase of cell cycle, and chromosome organization and segregation. Remarkably the transcriptomic changes induced by T3 sustain the transition from embryonic to adult patterns of gene expression. The results allowed us to define in molecular terms the elusive role of thyroid hormones on neocortical development.

Gene expression profiles of fibroblasts from MCT8 patients

Project description:Thyroid hormone is crucial for normal brain development. Thyroid hormone transporters control thyroid hormone homeostatis in brain. Mutations in the thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 result in a complex endocrine and neurological phenotype. We investigated the mechanisms of disease by analyzing gene expression profiles in fibroblasts from patients with mutations in MCT8. Performing comparative transcriptome analysis, we linked the genes differentially expressed in patient fibroblasts to the human brain transcriptome.

Thyroid hormone remodels cortex to coordinate body-wide metabolism and exploration

Project description:Animals adapt to environmental conditions by modifying the function of their internal organs, including the brain. To be adaptive, alterations in behavior must be coordinated with the functional state of organs throughout the body. Here we find that thyroid hormone--a regulator of metabolism in many peripheral organs--directly activates cell-type specific transcriptional programs in frontal cortex of adult male mice. These programs are enriched for axon-guidance genes in glutamatergic projection neurons, synaptic regulatory genes in both astrocytes and neurons, and pro-myelination factors in oligodendrocytes, suggesting widespread plasticity of cortical circuits. Indeed, whole-cell electrophysiology revealed that thyroid hormone alters excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission, an effect that requires thyroid hormone-induced gene regulatory programs in presynaptic neurons. Furthermore, thyroid hormone action in frontal cortex regulates innate exploratory behaviors and causally promotes exploratory decision-making. Thus, thyroid hormone acts directly on cerebral cortex in males to coordinate exploratory behaviors with whole-body metabolic state.

Sodium phenylbutyrate rescues thyroid hormone transport in brain endothelial cells

Project description:Monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) deficiency is a rare genetic disease leading to a severe developmental delay. Some MCT8 deficient patients are not as severely affected than others due to residual thyroid hormone (TH) transport. Previously, we hypothesized that these patients’ mutations destabilize the MCT8 protein, which consequently will be sent for degradation. We have already demonstrated that the chemical chaperone sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPB) rescues the function of these mutants by stabilizing their protein expression in an overexpressing cell system. Here we expand our previous work and used human iPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial-like cells (iBMECs) as a model. We could show that NaPB rescues decreased mutant MCT8 expression and restores transport function. Furthermore, we identified MCT10 as another TH transporter that contributes to T3 uptake. The decrease in mutant protein expression could be explained by the activation of components of the unfolded protein response (UPR) machinery. Increased expression after NaPB treatment is a consequence of UPR attenuation and the stabilization of MCT8 mRNA. In conclusion, we demonstrate that NaPB is suitable to stabilize pathogenic missense mutations and activate transport function in a human-derived cell model opening the possibility of repurposing the FDA-approved drug NaPB for MCT8 deficiency.

Digital Gene Expression (DGE) of thyroid hormone (T3)-responsive genes in C17.2 cells stably transfected with thyroid hormone receptors alpha and beta

Project description:Tagged versions of thyroid hormone receptors alpha (TRa) and beta (TRb) were stably transfected in two C17.2 cell lines, C17.2a and C17.2b, respectively. Cells were treated with 10-7 M T3 for 6, 12 or 24h or left untreated. We performed DGE by sequencing all polyA RNA according to a SAGE-derived method. Differential gene expression after T3 treatment was computed and the T3 responses induced by the two receptors were compared. We could conclude that, in a similar environment, target genes are only partially shared and that a significant proportion show receptor preference and even selectivity. Examination of thyroid hormone target genes over time in two cell lines (C17.2a, C17.2b), each expressing one of the thyroid hormone receptors (alpha, beta).
