Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The HPT (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Thyroid) axis negative feedback loop is preserved at the pituitary level in Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS), a disease caused by monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) deficiency. This led us to hypothesize that thyrotropes utilize thyroid hormone (TH) transporters other than MCT8 for TH translocation across the cell membrane. To determine the molecular mechanism of TH entry as well as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) regulation in these cells, all known TH transporters were screened and quantified using mRNA harvested from murine anterior pituitary. Oatp3a1 mRNA was most highly expressed among the TH transporters known to have high specificity for TH. On the other hand, expression of MCT8 was low.
