Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) on thyroid peroxidase activity and the expression of mRNA in primary porcine thyrocytes, and approach its possible mechanism. Methods In vitro cultured porcine thyrocytes were divided into 0 μg/L(control group), 2, 5, and 10 μg TGF-β1/L groups.After cultured for 72 h, the cell survival rate was measured with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) activity was measured by guaiacol method. The expression of TPO mRNA was determined cell survival rates of 2, 5, 10 μg/L groups(85.26%, 75.14% and 63.21%) were significantly lower(all P < 0.05 ).significantly decreased as compared with the control group [(2.143 ± 0.102), all P < 0.05)], and the TPO of TGF-β1, the lower the expression of TPO mRNA [(0.875 ± 0.078), (0.466 ± 0.044), (0.273 ± 0.007)] compared with the control group[(1.419 ± 0.148), all P < 0.05)]. Conclusions The inhibiting effect of TGF-β1 on primary cultured porcine thyrocytes may be related to its mechanism of inhibiting TPO activity and reduced mRNA expression.
