Thyroid hormone (T3) and the T3 receptor (TR) alpha gene are essential for bone development whereas adult hyperthyroidism increases the risk of osteoporotic fracture. We isolated fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR1) as a T3-target gene in osteoblasts by subtraction hybridization. FGFR1 mRNA was induced 2- to 3-fold in osteoblasts treated with T3 for 6-48 h, and FGFR1 protein was stimulated 2- to 4-fold. Induction of FGFR1 was independent of mRNA half-life and abolished by actinomycin D and cycloheximide, indicating the involvement of an intermediary protein. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) stimulated MAPK in osteoblasts, and pretreatment with T3 for 6 h induced a more rapid response to FGF that was increased in magnitude by 2- to 3-fold. Similarly, T3 enhanced FGF2-activated autophosphorylation of FGFR1, but did not modify FGF2-induced phosphorylation of the docking protein FRS2. These effects were abolished by the FGFR-selective inhibitors PD166866 and PD161570. In situ hybridization analyses of TRalpha-knockout mice, which have impaired ossification and skeletal mineralization, revealed reduced FGFR1 mRNA expression in osteoblasts and osteocytes, whereas T3 failed to stimulate FGFR1 mRNA or enhance FGF2-activated MAPK signaling in TRalpha-null osteoblasts. These findings implicate FGFR1 signaling in T3-dependent bone development and the pathogenesis of skeletal disorders resulting from thyroid disease.
