Thyroid Hormone Receptor β (TRβ) and Liver X Receptor (LXR) Regulate Carbohydrate-response Element-binding Protein (ChREBP) Expression in a Tissue-selective Manner

Abstract. Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) and liver X receptors (LXRs) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily. Although LXRs and TRs belong to two distinct receptor subgroups with respect to ligand-binding affinity, the two receptor systems show similarity with respect to molecular mechanism, target genes, and physiological roles. Since both TRs and LXRs play an important role in metabolic regulation, form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs), and bind to direct repeat-4 (DR-4) with identical geometry and polarity, crosstalk between these two receptors has been reported, especially on lipid metabolism-related genes. Recently, several types of crosstalk between TRs and LXRs have been identified and crosstalk has also been observed in other physiological systems such as central nervous system rather than lipid metabolism. In this review, recent advances in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of the crosstalk between these two nuclear receptors are discussed, with the aim of finding a perspective on unknown roles of TRs and LXRs.

Thyroid hormone action in metabolic regulation

Thyroid hormone plays pivotal roles in growth, differentiation, development and metabolic homeostasis via thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) by controlling the expression of TR target genes. The transcriptional activity of TRs is modulated by multiple factors including various TR isoforms, diverse thyroid hormone response elements, different heterodimeric partners, coregulators, and the cellular location of TRs. In the present review, we summarize recent advance in understanding the molecular mechanisms of thyroid hormone action obtained from human subject research, thyroid hormone mimetics application, TR isoform-specific knock-in mouse models, and mitochondrion study with highlights in metabolic regulations. Finally, as future perspectives, we share our thoughts about current challenges and possible approaches to promote our knowledge of thyroid hormone action in metabolism.

Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily that act as ligand-dependent transcription factors. Here we identified the ten-eleven translocation protein 3 (TET3) as a TR interacting protein increasing cell sensitivity to T3. The interaction between TET3 and TRs is independent of TET3 catalytic activity and specifically allows the stabilization of TRs on chromatin. We provide evidence that TET3 is required for TR stability, efficient binding of target genes, and transcriptional activation. Interestingly, the differential ability of different TRα1 mutants to interact with TET3 might explain their differential dominant activity in patients carrying TR germline mutations. So this study evidences a mode of action for TET3 as a nonclassical coregulator of TRs, modulating its stability and access to chromatin, rather than its intrinsic transcriptional activity. This regulatory function might be more general toward nuclear receptors. Indeed, TET3 interacts with different members of the superfamily and also enhances their association to chromatin.thyroid hormone receptor | methylcytosine dioxygenase TET3 | protein stability | chromatin recruitment | RTH syndrome T hyroid hormone (T3) is the main natural iodinated compound possessing a biological activity. It exerts a pleiotropic action on development and homeostasis, acting on most, if not all, cell types (1). T3 acts directly on gene transcription by binding to the thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) TRα1, TRβ1, and TRβ2. They are, respectively, encoded by the THRA and THRB genes. In humans, mutations of either THRA or THRB cause the resistance to thyroid hormone syndrome (RTH). The severity of the disease is determined by the precise location of the mutation (2), dictating the ability of the mutated TR to respond to T3 (3).TRs, as the other members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, are ligand-regulated transcription factors consisting of three major functional domains: the amino-terminal A/B domain, the DNAbinding domain, and the ligand-binding domain. TRs can bind to DNA on a TR response element (TRE) the in absence of T3, and on most genes they repress transcription until T3 binds and leads to activation. Helix12 is the major structural element associated with this process. T3 triggers a dramatic shift of its position, leading to dissociation of corepressors and recruitment of coactivators, including coactivators that have the ability to change the chromatin microenvironment (4). T3 binding also induces a rapid proteasomemediated degradation of TRs that is associated with T3-dependent transcriptional activity (5). TR availability and chromatin access are thus possibly important levels of modulation of T3 cellular response.The goal of the present study was to identify epigenetic regulators that interact with, and therefore may modulate, TR transcriptional activity, using in vitro pull-down screening. This approach allowed us to identify TET3, a member of the ten-eleven translocation (TET) family proteins, as a partner for TRs....
