Abstract
Solute carrier family 26 member 7 (SLC26A7), identified as a causative gene for congenital hypothyroidism, was found to be a novel iodide transporter expressed on the apical side of the follicular epithelium of the thyroid. We recently showed that TSH suppressed the expression of SLC26A7 and induces its localization to the plasma membrane, where it functions. We also showed that the ability of TSH to induce thyroid hormone synthesis is completely reversed by an autocrine negative-feedback action of thyroglobulin (Tg) stored in the follicular lumen. In the present study, we investigated the potential effect of follicular Tg on SLC26A7 expression and found that follicular Tg significantly suppressed the promoter activity, mRNA level, and protein level of SLC26A7 in rat thyroid FRTL-5 cells. In addition, follicular Tg inhibited the ability of TSH to induce the membrane localization of SLC26A7. In rat thyroid sections, the expression of SLC26A7 was weaker in follicles with a higher concentration of Tg, as evidenced by immunofluorescence staining. These results indicate that Tg stored in the follicular lumen is a feedback suppressor of the expression and membrane localization of SLC26A7, thereby downregulating the transport of iodide into the follicular lumen.

[PMID: 33250241 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.143727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Cypermethrin (CYP), a broad-spectrum pyrethroid insecticide is extensively used. CYP is also considered as a potential endocrine disruptor with the thyroid-disturbing property. Protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) is a pleiotropic signal transduction molecule that functions crucially in thyroid hormone (TH) homeostasis and thyroid functions. To explore underlying roles of PKCα in CYP-mediated disturbance of TH homeostasis, Sprague-Dawley rats and rat thyroid cells were used in this study. Results showed that β-CYP stimulated TH biosynthesis, as shown by the increase in plasma levels of TT4, FT4, TT3, FT3, and TSH. After β-CYP treatment, expressions of PKCα, three miRNAs (miR-17-5p, miR-330-3p, and miR-331-3p), thyroid transcription factor TTF-1, and thyroid-specific proteins (TSHr, TPO, and Tg) were significantly increased, while expressions of PI3K p110α, p-Akt, FOXA1, and thyroid transcription factors (TTF-2 and Pax8) were decreased. Further studies found that β-CYP induced PKCα translation by the miR-330-3p-targeted PI3K/Akt-FOXA1 cascade and then PKCα positively regulated TTF-1 to promote TPO and Tg expressions, which in turn facilitated TH biosynthesis. Likewise, PKCα positively modulated TSHr expressions to strengthen the TSH/TSHr signal in the HPT axis, thereby synergistically contributing to TH biosynthesis. Moreover, β-CYP also disturbed TH biotransformation and biotransport by inducing DIO1 and inhibiting DIO3 in thyroids and TTR expressions in livers. Taken together, β-CYP has the thyroid-disturbing effect and could promote TH biosynthesis, and PKCα plays vital roles in β-CYP-caused hyperthyroidism.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:E1427.

Abstract
In this study, several lines of evidence are provided to show that Na + , K + -ATPase activity exerts vital roles in normal brain development and function and that loss of enzyme activity is implicated in neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as increased risk of cancer, metabolic, pulmonary and cardiovascular disease. Evidence is presented to show that fluoride (F) inhibits Na + , K + -ATPase activity by altering biological pathways through modifying the expression of genes and the activity of glycolytic enzymes, metalloenzymes, hormones, proteins, neuropeptides and cytokines, as well as biological interface interactions that rely on the bioavailability of chemical elements magnesium and manganese to modulate ATP and Na + , K + -ATPase enzyme activity. Taken together, the findings of this study provide unprecedented insights into the molecular mechanisms and biological pathways by which F inhibits Na + , K + -ATPase activity and contributes to the etiology and pathophysiology of diseases associated with impairment of this essential enzyme. Moreover, the findings of this study further suggest that there are windows of susceptibility over the life course where chronic F exposure in pregnancy and early infancy may impair Na + , K + -ATPase activity with both short- and long-term implications for disease and inequalities in health. These findings would warrant considerable attention and potential intervention, not to mention additional research on the potential effects of F intake in contributing to chronic disease.

Abstract
Resveratrol (3,4,5-trihydroxystilbene), a polyphenol and well-known natural antioxidant has been evaluated for its protective effect against fluoride-induced metabolic dysfunctions in rat thyroid gland. Fluoride, the most abundant anions present in groundwater throughout the world, creates a major problem in safe drinking water and causes metabolic, structural, and functional injuries in different organ systems. Sub-acute exposure to sodium fluoride at a dose of 20 mg/kg b.w./day orally to rat for 30 days induces thyroidal dysfunction including suppressed synthetic machinery of the thyroid gland to produce nucleic acids and thyroid hormones, mainly T3 and T4. Other functional changes are alteration of certain metabolic enzyme activities like Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, thyroid peroxidase, and 5,5'-deiodinase. Structural abnormality of thyroid follicles by fluoride intoxication clearly indicates its thyrotoxic manifestation. Resveratrol supplementation in fluoride-exposed animals appreciably prevented metabolic toxicity caused by fluoride and restored both functional status and ultra-structural organization of the thyroid gland towards normalcy. This study first establishes the therapeutic efficacy of resveratrol as a natural antioxidant in thyroprotection against toxic insult caused by fluoride.

Abstract
Excessive iodide and fluoride coexist in the groundwater in many regions, causing a potential risk to the human thyroid. To investigate the mechanism of iodide- and fluoride-induced thyroid cytotoxicity, human thyroid follicular epithelial cells (Nthy-ori 3-1) were treated with different concentrations of potassium iodide (KI), with or without sodium fluoride (NaF). Cell morphology, viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, apoptosis, and expression of inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) pathway-related molecules were assessed. Results showed 50 mM of KI, 1 mM of NaF, and 50 mM of KI +1 mM of NaF changed cellular morphology, decreased viability, and increased LDH leakage and apoptosis. Elevated expression of binding protein (BiP), IRE1, and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) mRNA and protein, as well as spliced X-box-binding protein-1 (sXBP-1) mRNA, were observed in the 1 mM NaF and 50 mM KI +1 mM NaF groups. Collectively, excessive iodide and/or fluoride is cytotoxic to the human thyroid. Although these data do not manifest iodide could induce the IRE1 pathway, the cytotoxicity followed by exposure to fluoride alone or in combination with iodide may be related to IRE1 pathway-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, exposure to the combination of excessive iodide and fluoride may cause interactive effects on thyroid cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) gene and protein expressions have been recently described in human cytotrophoblasts, emphasizing its potential function in the active transport of iodide from the mother to the fetus. In this study we analyzed NIS expression and function in the human JAr placental choriocarcinoma cell line. Using real-time quantitative RT-PCR, we first demonstrated that NIS transcripts are expressed at a high level in JAr cells compared with other cell lines, including thyroid cancer cells. Functional analysis clearly showed that Jar cells are able to concentrate iodide in presence of hCG. Iodide accumulation increased after 2-h exposure to 5 IU/ml hCG, to 6-fold over the basal level after 8 h. This effect was reproduced using forskolin, the cAMP analog (Bu)(2)-cAMP, and phorbol acetate. Moreover, hCG increased both NIS mRNA after 2 h and NIS protein levels after 4 h, reaching a maximum after 8 h in both cases. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that 1) NIS is expressed in JAr cells; 2) iodide transport in JAr cells is regulated by hCG and by cAMP-dependent and -independent mechanisms; 3) the stimulation of iodide uptake is due to an increase in both NIS mRNA and protein levels; and 4) JAr cells may represent an excellent in vitro model suitable to analyze the molecular mechanisms involved in iodide transport from mother to fetus.
