Whereas the role of thyroid hormone is clearly established in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, its involvement in the control of serum triglyceride (TG) levels remains largely debated. Angiopoietin-like proteins 3 and 4 have recently been characterized as potent lipoprotein lipase inhibitors and therefore as important components of plasma triglyceride homeostasis. In the present study, the role of thyroid hormone in the regulation of both ANGPTL4 and ANGPTL3 gene expression was investigated. In vivo studies revealed that thyroid hormone down-regulates ANGPTL3 but not ANGPTL4 gene expression in hypothyroid rats. Using thyroid hormone receptor (TR)-deficient mice, we show that thyroid hormone regulates ANGPTL3 gene expression in a TRbeta-dependent manner. Transfection studies revealed that this inhibition occurs at the transcriptional level in a DNA binding-independent fashion and requires the proximal (-171 to +66) region of the ANGPTL3 gene promoter. Moreover, site-directed mutagenesis experiments indicate that the HNF1 site within this proximal region mediates this TRbeta-dependent repression. Finally, co-transfection studies and electrophoretic mobility shift assays suggest that TRbeta antagonizes the HNF1alpha signaling pathway by inhibiting its transcriptional activity without interfering with its DNA-binding capacity. Taken together, our results lead to the identification of ANGPTL3 as a novel TRbeta target gene and provide a new potential mechanism to explain the hypotriglyceridemic properties of TRbeta agonists in vivo.
