Renal and hepatic distribution of type I and type III iodothyronine deiodinase protein in chicken.

چکیده
Iodothyronine deiodinase in vitro activity studies in the chicken showed the presence of type I and type III iodothyronine deiodinase activity in both liver and kidney. Due to the lack of a specific antiserum the cellular localization of the deiodinase proteins could not be revealed until now. In the present study, specific antisera were used to study the renal and hepatic distribution of type I and type III iodothyronine deiodinase protein in the chicken. Immunocytochemical staining of liver tissue led to an immunopositive signal in the hepatocytes in general. Moreover, a zonal distribution could be detected for both enzymes. Maximum protein expression was shown in a thin layer of hepatocytes bordering the blood veins. Although pericentral localization of type I deiodinase protein has been previously reported in the rat, no data were given concerning type III deiodinase protein. In the present study, we report the co-localization of both enzymes in the chicken. Co-expression of the deiodinases was also found in the kidney. Expression of both proteins was associated with the tubular epithelial cells and with the transitional epithelium, and the inner longitudinal and outer circular muscle layers of the ureter. No staining could be detected in the lamina propria or in the fat tissue surrounding the ureter.

Because iodothyronine deiodinases play a crucial role in the regulation of the available intracellular T(3) concentration, it is important to determine their cellular localization. In brain, the presence of type III iodothyronine deiodinase (D3) seems to be important to maintain homeostasis of T(3) levels. Until now, no cellular localization pattern of the D3 protein was reported in chicken bra...

We have investigated the hypothesis that uridine 5 diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronyltransferases (UGTs) and -glucuronidase are jointly involved in a mechanism for the storage and mobilization of iodothyronine metabolites in liver, kidney, heart and brain. Specifically, we predicted UGT activities to decrease and increase respectively, and -glucuronidase activity to increase and decrease respectively...

It has been demonstrated that type II iodothyronine deiodinase is present in rat pineal gland, and the deiodinase activity markedly increases during the hours of darkness, primarily through beta-adrenergic mechanism. We have studied the relationship between pineal type II iodothyronine deiodinase messenger RNA (mRNA) and the deiodinase activity to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the noctur...
متن کاملTypes I and II iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase activities in perirenal brown adipose tissue of neonatal goats.
The perirenal adipose tissue is the main fat depot in newborn goats, and it has recently been shown to represent functional "brown fat" [l]. In the rat, brown adipose tissue contains a high activity of the iodothyronine 5'deiodinase enzyme system which converts thyroxine to the active thyroid hormone, 3,3',5-triiodothyronine [see 21. Iodothyronine 5'deiodinase exists in two major forms, termed ...
