Thyroid hormone (T3) is essential for normal development, differentiation and metabolic balance. Only a limited number of T3-target genes have been identified so far and their complex regulation pattern is poorly understood. We performed cDNA expression array hybridisation to identify T3-regulated genes and to investigate their expression pattern after various time points in vivo. Radioactively labelled cDNA was prepared from hepatic RNA of hypothyroid and hyperthyroid rats 6, 24 and 48 h after the administration of T3. Labelled cDNA probes were hybridised to rat Atlas Arrays. Twenty-three of 588 genes were shown to be differentially regulated, 18 of which were previously not known to be regulated by T3. The expression of 19 genes was verified by independent northern blot hybridisation. Two different expression time courses of T3 expression were observed. In a first expression profile (‘early’ expression) the transcription level of the target genes rises within 6 h, drops by 24 h and increases again within 48 h after the administration of T3. In a second expression profile (‘late’ expression) the mRNA level rose in the first 6 h and rose further by 48 h, indicating an additional regulation mechanism. Nuclear respiratory factor (NRF)-1 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 (PGC-1), but not NRF-2, were up-regulated within 6 h after T3 adminstration, suggesting NRF-1 and/or PGC-1 as key regulators for mediating the ‘late’ expression pattern.
