Characteristics of thyroxine 5'-deiodination in cultured human placental cells. Regulation by iodothyronines.

Abstract: Human and rat placental homogenates convert L-thyroxine (T4) to 3,5,3'-L-triiodothyronine (T3)

“…It deiodinates only the outer ring of substrates such as T4 and rT3 (2)(3)(4). Type III enzyme is found in brain, placenta, and skin, and it is a specific inner ring deiodinase (2,5).…”

“…Whereas placental D2 and D3 activities can be measured in cell dispersions or tissue sonicates (179)(180)(181)(182), in situ preparations can be used to study the placental D3 pathway (183,184). In an anesthetized pregnant guinea pig, the placenta is surgically exposed and a single umbilical artery and the umbilical vein cannulated, while the fetus is removed.…”

“…Since the human thyroid does not fully develop until 10-12 week of gestation and the feedback regulatory process does not mature until 18-20 weeks, most of the fetal thyroid hormones in the first half of human gestation derive from the maternal circulation. These are modified by deiodinases expressed in the fetus as well as in surrounding tissues: D3 is expressed in the placenta, uterus, and in all of the epithelial surfaces of the human fetus (skin, respiratory epithelium, gastrointestinal tract and urinary epithelium) (94)(95)(96). This barrier controls the rate of transfer of maternal thyroid hormone to the fetus, allowing the fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis to be autonomous with respect to the mother (97).…”
