Abstract
The extracellular domain of plasma membrane integrin αvβ3 contains a cell surface receptor for thyroid hormone analogues. The receptor is largely expressed and activated in tumor cells and rapidly dividing endothelial cells. The principal ligand for this receptor is l-thyroxine (T4), usually regarded only as a prohormone for 3,5,3'-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3), the hormone analogue that expresses thyroid hormone in the cell nucleus via nuclear receptors that are unrelated structurally to integrin αvβ3. At the integrin receptor for thyroid hormone, T4 regulates cancer and endothelial cell division, tumor cell defense pathways (such as anti-apoptosis), and angiogenesis and supports metastasis, radioresistance, and chemoresistance. The molecular mechanisms involve signal transduction via mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, differential expression of multiple genes related to the listed cell processes, and regulation of activities of other cell surface proteins, such as vascular growth factor receptors. Tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac) is derived from T4 and competes with binding of T4 to the integrin. In the absence of T4, tetrac and chemically modified tetrac also have anticancer effects that culminate in altered gene transcription. Tumor xenografts are arrested by unmodified and chemically modified tetrac. The receptor requires further characterization in terms of contributions to nonmalignant cells, such as platelets and phagocytes. The integrin αvβ3 receptor for thyroid hormone offers a large panel of cellular actions that are relevant to cancer biology and that may be regulated by tetrac derivatives.

Abstract
Nongenomic actions of thyroid hormone are initiated by the hormone at receptors in the plasma membrane, in cytoplasm, or in mitochondria and do not require the interaction of nuclear thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) with their primary ligand, 3,5,3'-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3). Receptors involved in nongenomic actions may or may not have structural homologies with TRs. Certain nongenomic actions that originate at the plasma membrane may modify the state and function of intranuclear TRs. Reviewed here are nongenomic effects of the hormone-T3 or, in some cases, l-thyroxine (T4)-that are initiated at (a) truncated TRα isoforms, e.g., p30 TRα1, (b) cytoplasmic proteins, or (c) plasma membrane integrin αvβ3. p30 TRα1 is not transcriptionally competent, binds T3 at the cell surface, and consequently expresses a number of important functions in bone cells. Nongenomic hormonal control of mitochondrial respiration involves a TRα isoform, and another truncated TRα isoform nongenomically regulates the state of cellular actin. Cytoplasmic hormone-binding proteins involved in nongenomic actions of thyroid hormone include ketimine reductase, pyruvate kinase, and TRβ that shuttle among intracellular compartments. Functions of the receptor for T4 on integrin αvβ3 include stimulation of proliferation of cancer and endothelial cells (angiogenesis) and regulation of transcription of cancer cell survival pathway genes. T4 serves as a prohormone for T3 in genomic actions of thyroid hormone, but T4 is a hormone at αvβ3 and more important to cancer cell function than is T3. Thus, characterization of nongenomic actions of the hormone has served to broaden our understanding of the cellular roles of T3 and T4.

Abstract
Nongenomic actions of thyroid hormone are by definition independent of nuclear receptors for the hormone and have been described at the plasma membrane, various cell organelles, the cytoskeleton, and in cytoplasm. The actions include alterations in solute transport (Ca2+, Na+, glucose), changes in activities of several kinases, including protein kinase C, cAMP-dependent protein kinase and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), effects on efficiency of specific mRNA translation and mRNA t1/2, modulation of mitochondrial respiration, and regulation of actin polymerization (promotion of formation of F-actin). Iodothyronines also can regulate nongenomically the state of contractile elements in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The physiologic significance at the cellular level of certain of these actions has been demonstrated, for example, in the cases of myocardiocyte Na+ current, red cell Ca2+ content, and the control by hormone-induced alterations in actin solubility of cell surface activity of iodothyronine 5'-monodeiodinase activity and the intracellular distribution of protein disulfide isomerase activity. The physiologic significance of these actions at the organ or system level is less clear, but extranuclear effects of thyroid hormone on myocardial Na+ channel, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase activity, and contractile state of VSMC may each contribute to acute effects of thyroid hormone on cardiac output that have recently been described clinically. The molecular mechanisms for nongenomic actions are incompletely understood; relevant binding sites and signal transduction pathways have been described for hormone actions on plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase activity, and PKM2 monomer is known to bind T3 and, as a result, prevent activation of the kinase via tetramer formation. Nongenomic actions of thyroid hormone may have different structure-activity relationships of iodothyronines from those effects that depend upon nuclear receptors; they may have different time courses and may invoke complex signal transduction pathways before the action is detected.

Abstract
A thyroid hormone binding protein(s) has been characterized in the cytosol of fetal rat brain cells in primary cultures. This protein is closely related to the one described in brain supernatants with respect to its electrophoretic mobility, binding kinetic parameters and estimated molecular weight (65 000 daltons). However, in contrast to the brain cytosolic binding protein, two classes of affinity sites for triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) have been demonstrated: a high affinity site (KA = 1.2-3.7(3) X 10(9) M-1 for T3 and KA = 3.7-5 X 10(8) M-1 for T4) and a low affinity site (KA = 0.8-1.4 X 10(8) M-1 for T3 and 1.6-2.9 X 10(7) M-1 for T4). The results are discussed with respect to their cellular significance.

Abstract
Gel filtration of dog myocardial cytosol previously incubated with [125I]T4 or [125I]T3 revealed hormone binding in three fractions, one of which, M-2, was presumptively identified as myoglobin by absorbance maximum, molecular weight and specific immunodiffusion. Gel chromatography of purified horse or dog myoglobins incubated with labeled T3 or T4 resulted in coelution of the myoglobin and iodothyronine peaks. Excess unlabeled thyroid hormone displaced no more than 25% of tracer bound to myoglobin. Acid-acetone fractionation of myoglobin into heme and globin, and subsequent precipitation of the heme, localized hormone binding to the heme moiety. Hematin (ferric state heme) in solution was also shown to bind thyroid hormone. Added to human sera which were then subjected to T3 or T4 radioimmunoassay, myoglobin reduced detectable, endogenous iodothyronine by 77 and 26%, respectively. The myoglobin effect was concentration dependent. Heart myoglobin, like hemoglobin in the erythrocyte, is a cytoplasmic heme protein responsible for a major fraction of binding of intracellular iodothyronine. The nature of the interaction between iodothyronines and the heme prosthetic group is unclear.

Abstract
Some properties of brain cytosol components that specifically bind L-triiodothyronine (T3) were examined in order to resolve their relevance and relationship to nuclear receptors. A marked variation in T3 binding activity was apparent among different brain areas. Binding exhibited temperature dependence and was maximal at 0 degrees C. The binding component was shown to be a protein that migrated as a single included peak on Sephadex G-100 columns at a position corresponding to a Stokes radium of 30A degrees and a M.W. of 54,000. On a linear glycerol gradient the T3-macromolecular complex was estimated to have a sedimentation constant of .4.2S. By combining sedimentation and gel filtration data the calculated M.W. was 53,000. With DEAE-cellulose chromatography the T3 complex eluted as a single peak at 115mM KH2PO4. The results indicate that the properties of the cytosol thyronine-binding protein are similar in many respects to those reported for nuclear receptors. In addition, the regional and developmental binding parameters parallel those for nuclei. We conclude that cytosolic recognition sites may function in the modulation of nuclear receptors and in addition serve to distinguish target from non-target tissue.

Abstract
Gel filtration (G-100, 0.01 M Tris, pH 7.4) of post-100,000 x g supernatant from lysate of washed human erythrocytes (RBC) revealed 3 fractions (R-1, R-2, R-3) which bound labeled T3 and T4. Major peak R-2 emerged with the mehoglobin fraction (A560 nm) and binding by this fraction was partially dissociable; the dissociable site bound D-T4, but not tetraidothyroacetic acid or reverse T3. Non-dissociable binding characterized peaks R-1 and R-3. R-1, R-2, and R-3 were pronase-digestible and R-1 binding was acid-unstable (pH 6.8 vs. 7.4). Evidence developed herein and elsewhere indicates that hemoglobin, itself, accounts for the binding within fraction R-2. Intact RBCs maintained for 72 hr at 4C in buffer enriched with T3 or T4 showed progressive incorporation with time of iodothyronines into the hemoglobin fraction.
