Abstract
Nuclear thyroid hormone (T3) receptors (TR) play a critical role in mediating the effects of T3 on development, differentiation and normal physiology of many organs. The heart is a major target organ of T3, and recent studies in knockout mice demonstrated distinct effects of the different TR isoforms on cardiac function, but the specific actions of TR isoforms and their specific localization in the heart remain unclear. We therefore studied the expression of TRalpha1, TRalpha2 and TRbeta1 isoforms in the mouse heart at different stages of development, using monoclonal antibodies against TRalpha1, TRalpha2 and TRbeta1. In order to identify distinct components of the embryonic heart, in situ hybridization for cardiac-specific markers was used with the expression pattern of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase 2a as a marker of myocardial structures, while the pattern of expression of connexin40 was used to indicate the developing chamber myocardium and peripheral ventricular conduction system. Here we show that in the ventricles of the adult heart the TRbeta1 isoform is confined to the cells that form the peripheral ventricular conduction system. TRalpha1, on the other hand, is present in working myocardium as well as in the per...Continue Reading
