Abstract. We have already demonstrated the inhibitory effect of interleukin 1 on thyroglobulin gene expression. Recent availability of thyroid peroxidase cDNA has allowed us to investigate the regulation of thyroid peroxidase gene. Therefore, the regulation of thyroid peroxidase mRNA by interleukin 1 in cultured human thyrocytes was investigated. Thyrocytes dispersed from thyroid tissues from patients with Graves' disease were incubated with TSH with or withtout recombinant human interleukin 1. Unstimulated human thyrocytes did not contain any detectable thyroid peroxidase mRNA, however, TSH-stimulated thyrocytes expressed four thyroid peroxidase mRNA transcripts (4.0, 3.2, 2.1 and 1.7 kb, respectively). Both interleukin 1 α and β inhibited TSH-induced thyroid peroxidase mRNA in a dose responsive manner; 103 U/l interleukin l caused maximal suppression of TSH-induced thyroid peroxidase mRNA level to nearly basal levels. Interleukin l also inhibited cAMP analogue 8-bromo-cyclic AMP induced thyroid peroxidase mRNA level. In contrast the γ-actin mRNA hybridization signal was not altered in control or treated cells. These results demonstrate that interleukin 1 directly inhibits TSH-induced thyroid peroxidase gene expression and provide further evidence for a paracrine role of interleukin 1 as a local inhibitor of thyroid hormone synthesis.

A cDNA clone encoding a thyroid-specific enhancer-binding protein (T/EBP) was isolated from a rat thyroid-derived FRTL-5 cell lambda gt 11 expression library, using a double-stranded oligonucleotide probe. This oligonucleotide was previously demonstrated to have the strongest binding affinity among three cis-acting DNA elements within the thyroid-specific enhancer region located 5.5 kbp upstream of the human thyroid peroxidase gene transcription start site. Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the cDNA revealed that T/EBP is identical to the previously reported thyroid-specific transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), which binds to the promoter of the rat thyroglobulin gene and controls its thyroid-specific expression. Expression of the T/EBP cDNA under control of the human cytomegalovirus major immediate-early gene promoter conferred thyroid-specific enhancer activity of as high as 26-fold to nonpermissive human hepatoma HepG2 cells when cotransfected with a vector containing 6.3 kbp of upstream sequence of the human thyroid peroxidase gene connected to a luciferase reporter gene. T/EBP was further expressed in HepG2 cells by using the vaccinia virus expression system. The expressed protein was partially purified by using sequence-specific affinity column chromatography and was further shown, by gel mobility shift experiments, to specifically bind to the enhancer-derived double-stranded oligonucleotide. These results clearly indicate that the binding of T/EBP (TTF-1) to the specific cis-acting enhancer element is largely responsible for thyroid-specific enhancer activity.
