The effects of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and a tumor promoter: 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate on glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis were studied in porcine thyroid epithelial cells in primary culture. TSH is known to involve cyclic AMP mechanism and phorbol ester to act by protein kinase C pathway. Chronic treatment of cells with TSH increased the synthesis of heparan sulphate associated with the cell layer and hyaluronic acid in the culture medium. Phorbol ester increased the radioactivity of total GAGs in the culture medium but had no effect on GAGs associated with the cell layer. It inhibited the positive effect of TSH on heparan sulphate synthesis. These results suggest that in thyroid epithelial cells the synthesis of the GAGs associated with the cell layer and those secreted into the culture medium are regulated by different intracellular mechanisms.
