Characterization and Semiquantitative Analyses of Pendrin Expressed in Normal and Tumoral Human Thyroid Tissues

Abstract: The gene mutated in Pendred syndrome (PDS), the PDS gene, is expressed in the inner ear, kidney, and thyroid. It encodes a membrane protein named pendrin that is endowed with the function of anion transporter or exchanger. It has been postulated that in the thyroid pendrin could participate in the transport of iodide from the cell to the lumen of follicles. We generated antipeptide antibodies directed against the C- terminal sequence of human pendrin 1) to characterize the protein expressed in the human thyroi… Show more

“…Protein was assayed by the Lowry method after solubilization in 0.1% sodium deoxycholate. The total amount of protein per mass of tissue and the proportion of membrane protein (100,000 ϫ g pellet) obtained from tumors (FA, PTC, or TA) and paired NT samples were very similar; 16 protein of the crude membrane fractions represented 25 to 35% of total protein. Membrane proteins (1 to 180 g of protein) were subjected to electrophoresis on 7.5% acrylamide gel in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and electrotransferred onto Immobilon P membranes (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA).…”

“…To determine whether the dissociation between transcript and protein levels was a general feature of hypofunctioning tumors, transcripts of the PDS gene and the corresponding protein, pendrin (another membrane protein with an iodide transport activity), were assayed in the same tumors and NT samples, as previously described. 16 Transcripts from the PDS gene and pendrin were detected in all samples. Data from four paired samples are reported in Figure 5B.…”
