摘要
We now report on the induction and modulation of NO production by cytokines in primary cultures of human thyrocytes and the effect of NO on iodine organification by human open thyroid follicles in the process of thyroid hormone biosynthesis. Although unstimulated thyrocytes produced little NO (measured as nitrite), interleukin-1 alpha or beta (IL-1 alpha/beta) substantially increased NO formation. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) by itself failed to stimulate NO formation but markedly increased the IL-1-stimulated NO production. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha alone did not induce NO production but did so slightly in the presence of IFN-gamma. Induction of NO formation by thyrocytes upon stimulation with IL-1 alpha + IFN-gamma was accompanied by the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an obligatory cofactor of NOS. Coinduction of NO and BH4 synthesis in thyrocytes was preceded by coexpression of messenger RNAs for NOS and GTP cyclohydrolase I(GTPCH), the rate-limiting enzyme for de novo synthesis of BH4. NO synthesis was prevented by an inhibitor of GTPCH, 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine, and this inhibition was completely reversed by administration of sepiapterin, a substrate for BH4 synthesis via pterin salvage pathway. In contrast to IFN-gamma, some cytokines such as interferon-alpha, IL-4, and transforming growth factor-beta(1) inhibited the IL-1-induced NO production. Finally, a possible role of NO on thyroid hormone synthesis was investigated. Iodine organification by human open thyroid follicles was inhibited by two kinds of NO donor but not by cell permeable cyclicGMP analog, Thus, cytokines such as IL-1, IL-1/IFN-gamma, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha/IFN-gamma stimulate human thyrocytes to produce NO; this process can be modulated by other cytokines and coregulated with a cofactor BH4 biosynthesis, and resulting NO may affect cell function including thyroid hormone synthesis.
