Thyroid hormones play important roles in bone growth, development, and turnover. To exert its biological activity, T(4) needs to be converted to T(3) by iodothyronine deiodinase. In human thyroid gland as well as rat brown adipose tissue, type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) expression is regulated by a TSH receptor-cAMP-mediated mechanism. TSH receptor knockout mice demonstrated the direct effects of TSH on bone via TSH receptors found on osteoblast and osteoclast precursors. In the present study we investigated the possible expression and function of iodothyronine deiodinase and TSH receptors in human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma (SaOS-2) cells and normal human osteoblast (NHOst) cells. Iodothyronine deiodinase activity was detected in SaOS-2 cells and NHOst cells, and all of the characteristics of deiodinating activity were compatible with those of D2. Northern analysis demonstrated D2 mRNA expression in SaOS-2 cells and NHOst cells. D2 mRNA levels as well as D2 activities were rapidly increased by dibutyryl cAMP or forskolin in SaOS-2 cells and NHOst cells. TSH receptor mRNA was demonstrated in SaOS-2 cells and NHOst cells, and D2 mRNA and D2 activity were stimulated by TSH in both cells. In addition, all T(3) receptor isoforms were detected by RT-PCR in SaOS-2 cells and NHOst cells. The present results indicate the expression of functional TSH receptors and D2 in human osteoblasts and suggest previously unrecognized roles of TSH receptors and local T(3) production by D2 in the pathophysiology of human osteoblasts.
