The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of thyroid status on the Na,K-ATPase alpha isoforms and beta in rat heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, and brain at the levels of mRNA, protein abundance, and enzymatic activity. Northern and dot-blot analysis of RNA (euthyroid, hypothyroid, and triiodothyronine-injected hypothyroids = hyperthyroids) and immunoblot analysis of protein (euthyroid and hypothyroid) revealed isoform-specific regulation of Na,K-ATPase by thyroid status in kidney, heart, and skeletal muscle and no regulation of sodium pump subunit levels in the brain. In general, in the transition from euthyroid to hypothyroid alpha 1 mRNA and protein levels are unchanged in kidney and skeletal muscle and slightly decreased in heart, while alpha 2 mRNA and protein are decreased significantly in heart and skeletal muscle. In hypothyroid heart and skeletal muscle, the decrease in alpha 2 protein levels was much greater than the decrease in alpha 2 mRNA levels relative to euthyroid indicating translational or post-translational regulation of alpha 2 protein abundance by triiodothyronine status in these tissues. The regulation of beta subunit by thyroid status is tissue-dependent. In hypothyroid kidney beta mRNA levels do not change, but immunodetectable beta protein levels decrease relative to euthyroid, and the decrease parallels the decrease in Na,K-ATPase activity. In hypothyroid heart and skeletal muscle beta mRNA levels decrease; beta protein decreases in heart and was not detected in the skeletal muscle. These findings demonstrate that the euthyroid levels of expression of alpha 1 in heart, alpha 2 in heart and skeletal muscle, and beta in kidney, heart, and skeletal muscle are dependent on the presence of thyroid hormone.
