Abstract
The addition of TSH to FRTL-5 thyroid cells induces a 7- to 8-fold increase in the steady state level of malic enzyme [L-malate-NADP+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating); EC 1.1.1.40] mRNA, but does not alter beta-actin mRNA levels. Insulin alone or together with TSH has no effect on malic enzyme mRNA. The effect of TSH is not the result of thyroid hormone formation, since the addition of T3 in the presence or in the absence of TSH and the addition of 5% serum (which includes T3 and T4) have no effect. Forskolin (10(-6) M) reproduces the TSH effect, suggesting that cAMP is involved.
