Cell-specific effects of thyroid hormone on RC3/neurogranin expression in rat brain

Abstract

To identify thyroid hormone-sensitive neuronal populations in the forebrain, we studied the effects of thyroid hormone deficiency and replacement on the expression of RC3 messenger RNA (mRNA) in the rat brain by in situ hybridization. RC3/neurogranin is a brain-specific, calmodulin-binding, protein kinase C substrate that has been implicated in postsynaptic events involving calcium as a second messenger. We have previously shown that RC3 mRNA and protein concentrations are thyroid hormone dependent in developing and adult rats. In normal developing rats, RC3 expression occurs in two phases. Before postnatal day 10 (P10), RC3 mRNA was detected mainly in layers II/III and V of cerebral cortex and the CA fields of the hippocampus. From P10 to P15, it decreased in layer V and increased in layer VI, the retrosplenial cortex, the caudate-putamen nucleus, and the dentate gyrus. Expression in the caudate followed a lateral to medial gradient. Thyroid hormone deficiency interfered with the late phase of RC3 expression, such that developing hypothyroid rats showed lower RC3 expression in layer VI, the retrosplenial cortex, the dentate gyrus, and the caudate, and increased expression in layer V. These changes were reverted by T4 treatment...Continue Reading
