  1. OBJECTIVES • Chemical nature of the thyroid hormones • How different enzymes play a role in thyroid hormone formation? And what drugs affect them? • Describe Metabolism of thyroid hormones

  2. Thyroid hormones derived from two iodinated tyrosine molecules

  3. This follicle lacks TSH stimulation

  4. This follicle has been stimulated by high TSH

  5. Synthesis of thyroid hormones • Active uptake of iodide into follicular cell • Iodide iodine - H2O 2 (catalysed by TPO) • Active uptake of iodine at follicular/ colloid interface • Incorporation of iodine onto tyrosine residues of thyroglobulin • Coupling of iodinated tyrosines • Storeage of T3 and T4

  6. Chemical nature • Derivatives of aminoacid Tyrosine • Tyrosine Thyroid hormones Catacholamines Steroid hormones

  7. OH OH I I I I I O O NH2 NH2 I I OH OH O O 3,5,3’-Triiodothyronine (T3) THYROID HORMONES Thyroxine (T4)

  8. Active transport of iodine (ATPase dependent) against electrical and chemical gradient - concentration of iodine 30-50 times that of the circulation

  9. Active uptake of iodine by a sodium iodide symporter • Oxidation of iodide to iodine • Iodination of tyrosine residues at apical/colloid interface to form MIT and DIT • Uptake of thyroglobulin into the lumen of the follicle

  10. Incorporation of iodine onto tyrosine residues on the thyroglobulin molecule

  11. 4) Release of T4 and T3 into circulation - 100g T4 & 10g T3/day 3) ~ 10% T4 undergoes mono-deiodination to T3 before secretion 2) Fusion of colloid droplets with lysosomes --> hydrolysis and release of thyroid hormones 1) Stimulated by TSH colloid droplets with the bound thyroid hormones are taken back into follicular cells by pinocytosis

  12. Iodine metabolism Concentration of Iodide (I-) • ACTIVE TRANSPORT BY THYROIDAL (I-) TRANSPORTER LINKED WITH Na+/I+ ATPASE • Inhibition • Perchlorate (ClO-4) • Thiocyanate (SCN-)

  13. Oxidation of iodide (I- I) • Iodide Iodine Thyroid peroxidase & H2O2 • Inhibitor Propylthiouracil

  14. ClO4-, SCN- organification NaI symporter (NIS) Propylthiouracil (PTU) blocks iodination of thyroglobulin Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) Ion transport by the Thyroid follicular cell BLOOD I COLLOID I-

  15. Iodination of tyrosine (Organification) • Oxidized Iodine+ tyrosine residues ( thyroglobulin) MIT and DIT Peroxidase Inhibitor Thioureas

  16. Coupling of Iodotyrosyls DIT + DIT Thyroxine (T4) Thyroperoxidase DIT + MIT Triiodothyronineine (T3) Thyroperoxidase • Inhibitor • Propylthiouracil

  17. 5’ Thyroid hormone metabolism 5 5’ 5 3 3’

  18. Metabolism of thyroid hormones Series of deiodinations by deiodinases Type 1 - liver, kidney, thyroid, pituitary gland, CNS: 5’ and 5 positions Type 2 - brain, brown fat, placenta, pituitary gland: 5’ position only: T4 T3 only: intracellular concentrations of T3 Type 3 - brain, placenta: 5 position only T4 T3 Other metabolic pathways: sulphation, decarboxylation, conjugated with glucuronide

  19. Control of thyroid hormone synthesis and release and feedback control

  20. TSH Receptors TSH G protein linked receptor cAMP IP3 + DAG Protein Ca2+ Protein Kinase A CM Kinase C (high concentrations)

  21. Actions of TSH • Active uptake of iodine* • Stimulates other reactions involved in thyroid hormone synthesis • Stimulates the uptake of colloid • Induces growth of the thyroid gland

  22. Thyroid hormone receptors

  23. Thyroid hormone receptors • Type 2 receptors in nucleus - high affinity for T3 • Dimerize with another T3 receptor (homodimer) or retinoic acid receptor (heterodimer) • Dimerized receptor + other transcription factors gene transcription • Membrane receptors? Ion movements

  24. Isoforms of the thyroid hormone receptor DBD DBD DBD DBD

  25. Dimerization of thyroid hormone receptors and gene activation/inactivation T3

  26. Structural similarities among receptors for steroid and thyroid hormones

  27. Mechanism of thyroid hormone action • Receptors for thyroid hormones are nuclear and its affinity is tentimes higher for T3 than T4 • Four variants of nuclear receptor were observed and mitochondrial receptor for T3 was also described • Free thyroid hormone receptor (TR) without bound hormone is bound to hormone response element of DNA (HRE) and corepressor (CoR)

  28. Mechanism of thyroid hormone action

  29. Increased expression of proteins by thyroid hormones • Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase – main component of glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle in mitochondria (one of transport systems for NADH into mitochondria) • Cytochrome c oxidase – the complex mitochondrial enzyme in the electron transport chain (from cytochrome c to oxygen) • ATPases – (eg. Ca ATPase of muscle cells) • Carbamyl phosphate synthase – enzyme of urea cycle • Growth hormone

  30. Increased respiration during hyperthyreodism Increased synthesis of ATP – increased synthesis of cytochrome c oxidase – increased oxidative phosphorylation (it means the increased consumption of oxygen) – increased production of ATP Increased consumption of ATP – increased synthesis of various ATPase (eg. Ca dependent in muscles) – increased depletion of store of ATP

  31. Mechanisms increasing body temperature during hyperthyroidism Reducing efficiency of ATP synthesis - increased synthesis of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase – increased transport NADH by this shuttle than malate/aspartate shuttle Increased synthesis of ATP Increased consumption of ATP Uncoupling of phosphorylation and oxidation in mitochondria

  32. Control of thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion • Pituitary hormone thyreotropin (TSH) upregulates activity of iodide pump of follicle cells of thyroid gland • Endocytosis of iodinated thyreoglobulin and following secretion of T3 and T4 is also upregulated by TSH • Production of TSH is upregulated by TRH and controled by thyroid hormones via negative feedback

  33. Model of TSH receptor

  34. Grave’s disease (10) • Autoimmune - activating AB’s to TSH receptor • High concentrations of circulating thyroid hormones • Weight loss, tachycardia, tiredness • Diffuse goitre - TSH stimulating growth • Opthalmompathy and dermopathy

  35. Symptoms and signs of hyperthyroidism

  36. Hashimoto’s (1o) • Autoimmune - AB’s destruction of thyroid gland • Low concentrations of thyroid hormones • Lethargy, intolerance to cold • Lack of growth and development • Diffuse goitre - lymphocytic infiltration of gland + TSH stimulated growth

  37. Symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism
