Triiodothyronine (T3) upregulates the expression of proto-oncogene TGFA independent of MAPK/ERK pathway activation in the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line, MCF7

Abstract: Objective: To verify the physiological action of triiodothyronine T 3 on the expression of transforming growth factor α (TGFA) mRNA in MCF7 cells by inhibition of RNA Polymerase II and the MAPK/ERK pathway. Materials and methods: The cell line was treated with T 3 at a physiological dose (10 −9 M) for 10 minutes, 1 and 4 hour (h) in the presence or absence of the inhibitors, α-amanitin (RNA polymerase II inhibitor) and PD98059 (MAPK/ERK pathway inhibitor). TGFA mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR. For data … Show more

“…As regards TGFA our study corroborates with overexpression of the gene, leading to non-progression of cancer 46 . Further corroboration is obtained with respect to study of TGFA expression in esophageal cancer 47 . Corroboration is obtained for GAB2 when suppression of the same reduces lymph node metastases and invasive cancer.…”

“…It is expressed in several tissues, and throughout the entire lifespan of an organism, from embryogenesis to the adult phase. A study of the physiological action of triiodothyronine T3 on the expression of TGFA mRNA in MCF7 cells by inhibition of RNA polymerase II and the MAPK/ERK pathway found that T3 increases the expression of TGFA mRNA in MCF7 cells within 4 h of treatment [28]. Inhibition of RNA polymerase II modulates the effect of T3 treatment on the expression of TGFA in MCF7 cells.…”

“…The specific roles of thyroid hormone in different human cancer types are controversial. A number of investigators have reported that thyroid hormone promotes development of various cancers, whereas others suggest a tumor suppressor role [161][162][163][164]. Accumulating evidence from animal models and epidemiologic studies indicate an association between higher thyroid hormone levels and prevention of liver diseases, supporting the suppressor role of thyroid hormone and its receptor in HCC [25,38,[164][165][166].…”
