The Arachidonic Acid Signal System in the Thyroid: Regulation by Thyrotropin and Insulin/IGF-I

  • Chapter
Control of the Thyroid Gland

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 261))

Abstract

Previous reports (1–11) have defined the importance of the Ca/phosphoinositide/arachidonic acid signal system to both the function and growth of FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells and to the action of both thyrotropin (TSH) and alpha-1 adrenergic agents in these cells. Thus evidence has been presented that norepinephrine and TSH could increase degradation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) (1) with the concomitant formation of diacyiglycerol and IP3 (2). This action was accompanied by increases in cytosolic Ca++ (3), arachidonic acid release from the cells (4, 5) and the action of arachidonic acid metabolites in processes important to thyroid hormone formation and growth (4–11).
