Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Changes in thyroid status have a major effect on the GH/IGF-I axis. In the rat, there is a single gene for the growth hormone receptor (GHR), that is transcribed into two different sized mRNA transcripts following alternative splicing, one transcript codes for the GHR (4.0-4.5 kb) and the other growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) (1.2-1.3 kb). We have studied the regulation of hepatic GHR gene expression by thyroid hormones in male Wistar rats rendered hypothyroid (n = 6) and hyperthyroid (n = 6) compared to controls (n = 6). By northern blot analysis, two transcripts with an estimated size of 4.2 and 1.2 kb, respectively, were detected in all groups. Hyperthyroidism was associated with a significant increase in the 4.2 kb transcript compared to hypothyroidism (P < 0.05), but no changes were observed in the 1.2 kb transcript. Thus, our results suggest that in the rat hyperthyroidism is associated with either increased hepatic gene transcription or decreased clearance of the 4.2 kb transcript for the GHR compared with hypothyroidism. |
