Abstract

The present studies were undertaken to examine the factors that influence the growth of cells of endocrine gland origin, particularly the possible interactions between "nonspecific" growth factors and the trophic hormone for a target endocrine cell. As a model system, we explored the individual and conjoint effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and TSH on the growth of FRTL5 cells, a nontransformed line of cloned rat thyroid follicular epithelium. In these cells, IGF-I and TSH each produced a dose-dependent enhancement of DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. When added together, IGF-I and TSH were markedly synergistic in stimulating DNA synthesis, producing increases in 3H-thymidine incorporation that were far greater than the sum of the effects of each alone. A similar effect of IGF-I was evident in the case of the stimulation of DNA synthesis produced by immunoglobulin G (IgG) preparations from the blood of patients with Graves' disease. Such IgG bind to the TSH receptor and mimic the actions of TSH therein. It is suggested, therefore, that there exist in the FRTL5 cell line at least two mechanisms for the regulation of growth, one activated at the level of the IGF-I receptor and the other at the level of the TSH receptor. When the two pathways are activated concurrently, a synergistic enhancement of DNA synthesis takes place. The findings indicate that the FRTL5 cell line is an excellent model in which to study these complex interactions and that IGF-I may be a determinant of thyroid cell growth, both normally and in certain thyroid diseases.

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.
