| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have studied the expression and regulation of thyroid hormone metabolism, including type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) which activates thyroid hormones and type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase (D3) which inactivates thyroid hormones.
We found the expression of D3 in cultured pancreatic beta cells, which is stimulated by GLP-1 via a cAMP-PKA mediated pathway. D3 is suggested to increases insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells by decreasing intracellular T3. Furthermore, we discovered the expression of D2 in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Conversion of T4 to T3 by D2 is required for rapid nongenomic action of T4, which results in migration of HUVECs.
These results may open a novel perspective on understanding of the mechanisms of thyroid hormone action.
