| abstractText | A rat thyroid peroxidase cDNA has been isolated from a FRTL-5 thyroid cell library and sequenced. The cDNA is 2776 base pairs long with an open reading frame of 770 amino acids. By comparison to full-length human thyroid peroxidase cDNA and based on its identification of a 3.2 kilobase mRNA in rat thyroid FRTL-5 cell Northern blots, the rat peroxidase cDNA appears to lack 400-500 base pairs at the 5'-end of the mRNA. It exhibits only a 74% nucleotide and 77% amino acid sequence similarity to human thyroid peroxidase cDNA within the total aligned sequences, although the predicted active site regions are highly conserved (greater than 90-100%). The cDNA has been used to map the thyroid peroxidase gene in mice to chromosome 12 and to compare thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin gene expression in FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells. Despite the fact TSH action in both cases is duplicated, and presumably mediated, by cAMP, TSH-induced increases in thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin mRNA levels differ. Differences exist with respect to hormone concentration and time. The ability of TSH to increase thyroglobulin, but not thyroid peroxidase mRNA levels, requires insulin, 5% serum, or insulin-like growth factor-I. Insulin or insulin-like growth factor-I alone can increase thyroglobulin mRNA levels as well as or better than TSH but have only a small effect on thyroid peroxidase mRNA levels by comparison to TSH. The ability of TSH to increase thyroglobulin gene expression is readily detected in nuclear run-on assays but not the ability of TSH to increase thyroid peroxidase gene expression. Cycloheximide inhibits TSH-increased thyroglobulin but not peroxidase mRNA levels. Finally, methimazole and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate show different effects on TSH-induced increases in thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase mRNA levels. |
