Type I 5′-iodothyronine deiodinase activity and mRNA are remarkably reduced in renal clear cell carcinoma

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare thyroid hormone metabolism between non-cancerous tumor-surrounding human kidney tissues and renal clear cell carcinomas (RCCC). The material consisted of samples taken from 10 RCCC patients of both sexes and three grades of differentiation, G1 to G3. We showed that, similar to rat tissue, type I 5' monodeiodinase (5'DI) expression is heterogeneous within the human kidney. We also found a poor correlation between 5'DI activity and mRNA level in non-cancerous tumor-surrou… Show more

“…Downregulation of D1 expression was also reported in other human neoplasias. Lower levels of D1 mRNA were described in samples of renal clear cell carcinoma, the most frequent renal cancer (Pachucki et al 2001). Interestingly, several variants of DIO1 transcripts were found in this type of neoplasias, all of them underexpressed in tumor tissue as compared with normal renal tissue.…”

“…Expression of selenoprotein P is decreased, for example, in prostate cancer (25). Finally, it is well established that expression and activity of the selenoprotein type I 5Ј-deiodinase (5ЈD1), involved in thyroid hormone metabolism, is lost, namely in thyroid carcinomas or cell lines derived therefrom as well as in carcinomas of the prostate and the kidney (26)(27)(28). The exact role of 5ЈD1 activity in the thyroid gland is not yet clarified.…”

“…The change in enzyme activity was observed in all subjects, while five out of eight demonstrated a rise in mRNA expression. This highlights a lack of correlation between mRNA expression and enzyme activity which has been reported in other biological enzyme systems (20,21). While given the small number of subjects studied, and the possibility that a type 2 error exists, important factors other than gene expression affect functional enzyme activity, including protein translation, posttranslational modification, protein-protein interactions and substrate availability.…”
