Thyroid hormone transporters: recent advances.

Trends Endocrinol Metab

Division of Nephrology, Endocrinology and Vascular Medicine, Dept Medicine, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine and PRESTO, Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST), Japan.

Published: July 2002

Thyroid hormones, being hydrophobic, were thought to enter target cell membranes by passive diffusion. However, recent studies have documented the existence of numerous organic anion transport systems, about half of which also transport thyroid hormones into (and possibly out of) a variety of target cells. Several of the genes encoding thyroid hormone transporters have been characterized by means of molecular approaches. Here, we discuss the classification of thyroid hormone transporters, with emphasis on how they are influenced by their ionic milieu and what their symported organic anions are.

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most common endocrine cancer, accounting for 90-95% of thyroid malignancy and predominant in the female population of all age groups. Surgery is the standard primary treatment for patients with DTC, followed by radioactive iodine therapy (RAIT) when indicated. After the main treatment, patients receive thyroid hormone therapy in a variety of regimens, either as a replacement therapy or as a therapy intended to suppress secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a prevalent neurological disorder with a complex etiology, often associated with thyroid function. However, the causal relationship between these two conditions remains poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the causal relationship between thyroid function and MS using a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach and to investigate the potential mediating role of immune cells.

Thyroid cancer encountered during pregnancy requires a systematic approach balancing risks and benefits to both maternal and fetal health specific to this unique phase of life. Thyroid nodules are common and are predominantly evaluated to detect thyroid cancer. Clinical examination, serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) measurement, ultrasonographic risk stratification, and fine needle aspiration biopsy when indicated are used to assess for malignancy.

Acromegaly is a rare condition, and often diagnosis is delayed by several years, for most patients. Acromegaly is characterized by short and long-term respiratory, cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities, with possible impact on mortality. In the last two decades, life expectancy has progressively increased in part due to a reduction in biochemically active disease, multidisciplinary treatment approaches and a reduction in complications, and the availability of new drugs.

Patients with Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome (MCT8 Deficiency) Display Symptoms of Parkinsonism in Childhood and Respond to Levodopa/Carbidopa Treatment.

March 2025

Department of Neuropediatrics, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Corporate member of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), Berlin, Germany.

Background: Patients with mutations in the monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8, SLC16A2) suffer from X-linked recessive Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS), which is characterized by developmental delay and a severe movement disorder. Current trials using thyroid hormone derivatives to overcome the transporter defect have failed to achieve patient-oriented therapeutic goals.

Objectives: Our aim was to define the type of movement disorder in AHDS in an observational cohort study and to investigate the causative role of the dopaminergic system.
