The colorful diversity of thyroid hormone metabolites

Open access
Köhrle, Josef·2019·European Thyroid Journal

Abstract

Since the discovery of L-thyroxine, the main secretory product of the thyroid gland, and its major metabolite T3, which exerts the majority of thyroid hormone action via ligand-dependent modulation of the function of T3 receptors in nuclei, mitochondria, and other subcellular compartments, various other T4-derived endogenous metabolites have been identified in blood and tissues of humans, animals, and early protochordates. This review addresses major historical milestones and experimental findings resulting in the discovery of the key enzymes of thyroid hormone metabolism, the three selenoprotein deiodinases, as well as the decarboxylases and amine oxidases involved in formation and degradation of recently identified endogenous thyroid hormone metabolites, i.e. 3-iodothyronamine and 3-thyroacetic acid. The concerted action of deiodinases 2 and 3 in regulation of local T3 availability is discussed. Special attention is given to the role of the thyromimetic “hot” metabolite 3,5-T2 and the “cool” 3-iodothyronamine, especially after administration of pharmacological doses of these endogenous thyroid hormone metabolites in various animal experimental models. In addition, available information on the biological roles of the two major acetic acid derivatives of thyroid hormones, i.e. Tetrac and Triac, as well as sulfated metabolites of thyroid hormones is reviewed. This review addresses the consequences of the existence of this broad spectrum of endogenous thyroid hormone metabolites, the “thyronome,” beyond the classical thyroid hormone profile comprising T4, T3, and rT3 for appropriate analytical coverage and clinical diagnostics using mass spectrometry versus immunoassays for determination of total and free concentrations of thyroid hormone metabolites in blood and tissues.

  • Extrathyroidal formation of 3,5-T2 has been supported by studies using radioimmunoassays based on poly- or monoclonal antibodies.

    “Most of these studies were feasible after the development of specific radioimmunoassays, based on poly- or monoclonal antibodies in the Seventies of the last century, and supported extrathyroidal formation of 3,5-T2, which had been previously demonstrated using radioisotope-labeled TH in humans, experimental animal models, and in vitro systems [see recent reviews: (3, 9)].”

    From 3,5-T2—A Janus-Faced Thyroid Hormone Metabolite Exerts Both Canonical T3-Mimetic Endocrine and Intracrine Hepatic Action (2020) · cites this paper as [9]

    The sections on 3,5-T2 and its serum concentrations report radioimmunoassays and a later monoclonal-antibody immunoassay; the latter found 3,5-T2 in patients lacking functional thyroid tissue, consistent with extrathyroidal formation. But the paper describes that monoclonal assay as chemiluminescent, not a radioimmunoassay, and treats the proposed site of formation as an assumption rather than an established result of those assays. The supplied copy gives no page numbers for these passages. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • Tetrac, a deaminated side chain metabolite of T4, present in human serum at concentrations similar to those of T3, antagonizes T4 (and also T3) actions at the integrin receptor signaling.

    “The T4 metabolite Tetrac, a deaminated side chain metabolite, present in human serum at concentrations similar to those of T3 (3, 9) antagonizes such T4 (and also T3) actions at the integrin receptor signaling.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
