Abstract

AbstractThyroid hormone (TH) is essential for the regulation of many physiological processes, especially growth, organ development, energy metabolism and cardiovascular effects. TH acts via the TH receptors (TR) α and β. By binding to thyroid hormone responsive elements (TREs) on the DNA, TRs regulate expression of TH target genes. Thus, TRs are mainly characterized as ligand dependent transcription factors and regulation of gene expression and protein synthesis is considered the canonical mode of TH/TR action. The demonstration that the ligand-bound TRs α and β also mediate activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway established noncanonical TH/TR action as an additional mode of TH signaling. Recently, TR mutant mouse models allowed to determine the underlying mode of TH/TR action, either canonical or noncanonical TH/TR signaling, for several physiological TH effects in vivo: Regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis requires DNA-binding of TRβ, whereas hepatic triglyceride content appears to be regulated by noncanonical TRβ signaling. TRα mediated effects in bone development are dependent on DNA-binding, whereas several cardiovascular TRα effects are rapid and independent from DNA-binding. Therefore, noncanonical TH/TR action contributes to the overall effects of TH in physiology.
