Abstract
INTRODUCTION Iodide is an essential micronutrient for the synthesis of thyroid hormones and its imbalance is involved in the origin of different thyroid pathological processes. Selenium (Se) is another essential trace element that contributes to thyroid preservation through the control of the redox homeostasis. Different studies have demonstrated that sodium-iodide-symporter (NIS) is downregulated in the presence of iodide excess and Se supplementation reverses this effect. We also demonstrated that NOX4-derived ROS are involved in NIS repression induced by iodide excess. The aim of this study was to investigate how Se bioavailability is decisive in the sensitivity to iodide excess on a differentiated rat thyroid cell line (FRTL-5). RESULTS We demonstrated that siRNA-mediated silencing of Nox4 suppressed AKT phosphorylation induced by iodide excess. Iodide increases TGF-β1 mRNA expression, AKT phosphorylation, ROS levels and decreases GPX1 and TXRND1 mRNAs expression while Se reversed these effects. Furthermore, iodide induced Nrf2 transcriptional activity only in Se-supplemented cultures, suggesting that Se positively influences Nrf2 activation and selenoenzyme response in FRTL-5. Se, also inhibited NF-κB phosphorylation induced by iodide excess. In addition, we found that iodide excess decreased total phosphatase activity and PTP1B and PTEN mRNA expression. Se supply restored only PTEN mRNA expression. Finally, we studied the 2-α-iodohexadecanal (2-IHD) effects since it has been proposed as intermediary of iodide action on thyroid autoregulation. 2-IHD stimulated PI3K/AKT activity and reduced NIS expression by a ROS-independent mechanism. Also, we found that 2-IHD increased TGF-β1 mRNA and TGF-β inhibitor (SB431542) reverses the 2-IHD inhibitory effect on NIS mRNA expression, suggesting that TGF-β1 signaling pathway could be involved. Although Se reduced 2-IHD-induced TGFB1 levels, it could not reverse its inhibitory effect on NIS expression. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that Se bioavailability may improve the expression of antioxidant genes through the activation of Nrf2, interfere in PI3K/AKT signaling and NIS expression by redox modulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intake of potassium iodide (KI) reduces the accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland in the event of possible contamination by radioactive iodine released from a nuclear facility. The WHO has stated the need for research for optimal timing, appropriate dosing regimen and safety for repetitive iodine thyroid blocking (ITB). The French PRIODAC project, addressed all these issues, involving prolonged or repeated releases of radioactive iodine. Preclinical studies established an effective dose through pharmacokinetic modeling, demonstrating the safety of repetitive KI treatment without toxicity. SUMMARY Recent preclinical studies have determined an optimal effective dose for repetitive administration, associated with pharmacokinetic modelling. The results show the safety and absence of toxicity of repetitive treatment with KI. Good laboratory practice level preclinical studies corresponding to individuals > 12 years have shown a safety margin established between animal doses without toxic effect. After approval from the French health authorities, the market authorization of the 2 tablets of KI-65mg/day was defined with a new dosing scheme of a daily repetitive intake of the treatment up to 7 days unless otherwise instructed by the competent authorities for all categories of population except pregnant women, and children under the age of 12 years. CONCLUSIONS This new marketed authorization resulting from scientific-based evidence obtained as part of the PRIODAC project may serve as an example to further harmonize the application of KI for repetitive ITB in situations of prolonged radioactive release at the European and International levels, under the umbrella of the WHO.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1688.

Abstract
The thyroid gland is the primary site of sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), an intrinsic plasma membrane protein responsible for the active uptake of iodine, which is indispensable for thyroid hormone synthesis. Since exposure of the thyroid to NIS inhibitors can potentially have harmful effects on the entire organism, it is important to investigate the potential protective effects of known antioxidants, such as melatonin and indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), against pro-oxidative action of classic NIS inhibitors. The study aimed to check if and to what extent melatonin and IPA interact with some confirmed NIS inhibitors regarding their effects on oxidative damage to membrane lipids in the thyroid. For comparison with the thyroid gland, in which NIS is typically present, the liver tissue-not possessing NIS-was applied in the present study. Thyroid and liver homogenates were incubated in the presence of tested NIS inhibitors (i.e., NaClO3, NH4SCN, KSeCN, KNO3, NaF, KClO4, and BPA) in different ranges of concentrations with/without melatonin (5 mM) or IPA (5 mM). The malondialdehyde+4-hydroxyalkenals (MDA + 4-HDA) concentration (LPO index) was measured spectrophotometrically. NaClO3 increased LPO in the thyroid and in the liver, but these pro-oxidative effects were not prevented by either melatonin or IPA. Instead, pro-oxidative effects of NH4SCN observed in both tissues were prevented by both indole substances. KSeCN and NaF increased LPO only in the thyroid, and these pro-oxidative effects were prevented by melatonin and IPA. KNO3, KClO4, and BPA did not increase LPO, which can be due to their low concentrations resulting from restricted solubility. In conclusion, as melatonin prevented oxidative damage to membrane lipids in the thyroid caused by some sodium/iodide symporter inhibitors, this indoleamine shoud be considered as a potential protective agent when produced appropriately in living organisms but also as an exogenous substance recommended to individuals overexposed to NIS inhibitors.

Abstract
Introduction Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is a critical component in the post-surgical management of thyroid cancer patients, as well as being a central therapeutic option in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Previous work suggests that antithyroid drugs hinder the efficacy of RAI therapy in patients. However, the effects of other background medications on RAI treatment efficacy have not been evaluated. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the potential off-target effects of medication on RAI therapy in patients with thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism. Methods Systematic review and meta-analysis according to the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. Databases searched: MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library for studies published between 2001 and 2021. Results Sixty-nine unique studies were identified. After screening, 17 studies with 3313 participants were included. One study investigated thyroid cancer, with the rest targeted to hyperthyroidism. The majority of studies evaluated the effects of antithyroid drugs; the other drugs studied included lithium, prednisone and glycididazole sodium. Antithyroid drugs were associated with negative impacts on post-RAI outcomes (n = 5 studies, RR = 0.81, p = 0.02). However, meta-analysis found moderate heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 51%, τ2 = 0.0199, p = 0.08). Interestingly, lithium (n = 3 studies), prednisone (n = 1 study) and glycididazole (n = 1 study) appeared to have positive impacts on post-RAI outcomes upon qualitative analysis. Conclusion Our systematic review strengthens previous work on antithyroid medication effects on RAI, and highlights that this field remains under researched especially for background medications unrelated to thyroid disease, with very few papers on non-thyroid medications published.

Abstract
PURPOSE Iodine is an essential micronutrient required for thyroid hormone biosynthesis. However, overtreatment with iodine can unfavorably affect thyroid physiology. The aim of this review is to present the evidence that iodine-when in excess-can interfere with thyroid hormone synthesis and, therefore, can act as a potential endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), and that this action, as well as other abnormalities in the thyroid, occurs-at least partially-via oxidative stress. METHODS We reviewed published studies on iodine as a potential EDC, with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of oxidative stress. RESULTS This paper summarizes current knowledge on iodine excess in the context of its properties as an EDC and its effects on oxidative processes. CONCLUSION Iodine does fulfill the criteria of an EDC because it is an exogenous chemical that interferes-when in excess-with thyroid hormone synthesis. However, this statement cannot change general rules regarding iodine supply, which means that iodine deficiency should be still eliminated worldwide and, at the same time, iodine excess should be avoided. Universal awareness that iodine is a potential EDC would make consumers more careful regarding their diet and what they supplement in tablets, and-what is of great importance-it would make caregivers choose iodine-containing medications (or other chemicals) more prudently. It should be stressed that compared to iodine deficiency, iodine in excess (acting either as a potential EDC or via other mechanisms) is much less harmful in such a sense that it affects only a small percentage of sensitive individuals, whereas the former affects whole populations; therefore, it causes endemic consequences.

Abstract
Radioiodine therapy (RAI) is a standard and effective therapeutic approach for differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) based on the unique capacity for iodide uptake and accumulation of the thyroid gland through the Na+/I− symporter (NIS). However, around 5–15% of DTC patients may become refractory to radioiodine, which is associated with a worse prognosis. The loss of RAI avidity due to thyroid cancers is attributed to cell dedifferentiation, resulting in NIS repression by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Targeting the signaling pathways potentially involved in this process to induce de novo iodide uptake in refractory tumors is the rationale of “redifferentiation strategies”. Oxidative stress (OS) results from the imbalance between ROS production and depuration that favors a pro-oxidative environment, resulting from increased ROS production, decreased antioxidant defenses, or both. NIS expression and function are regulated by the cellular redox state in cancer and non-cancer contexts. In addition, OS has been implicated in thyroid tumorigenesis and thyroid cancer cell dedifferentiation. Here, we review the main aspects of redox homeostasis in thyrocytes and discuss potential ROS-dependent mechanisms involved in NIS repression in thyroid cancer.

Abstract
The sodium iodide symporter (NIS) functions to transport iodide and is critical for successful radioiodide ablation of cancer cells. Approaches to bolster NIS function and diminish recurrence post-radioiodide therapy are impeded by oncogenic pathways that suppress NIS, as well as the inherent complexity of NIS regulation. Here, we utilize NIS in high-throughput drug screening and undertake rigorous evaluation of lead compounds to identify and target key processes underpinning NIS function. We find that multiple proteostasis pathways, including proteasomal degradation and autophagy, are central to the cellular processing of NIS. Utilizing inhibitors targeting distinct molecular processes, we pinpoint combinatorial drug strategies giving robust >5-fold increases in radioiodide uptake. We also reveal significant dysregulation of core proteostasis genes in human tumors, identifying a 13-gene risk score classifier as an independent predictor of recurrence in radioiodide-treated patients. We thus propose and discuss a model for targetable steps of intracellular processing of NIS function.

Abstract
Iodide (I-) is crucial to thyroid function, and its regulation in thyrocytes involves ion transporters and reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the extent of 2Cl-/H+ exchanger (ClC-3) involvement in the iodide (I-) efflux from thyrocytes remains unclear. Therefore, we examined the effects of ClC-3 on I- efflux. ClC-3 expression was found to significantly alter the serum TT3 and TT4 concentrations in mice. We further found that excess I- stimulation affected ClC-3 expression, distribution, and I- efflux in FRTL-5 cells. Immunofluorescence analyses indicated that ClC-3 mainly accumulated in the cell membrane and co-localized with β-tubulins after 24 h of excess I- treatment, and that this process depended on ROS production. Thus, ClC-3 may be involved in I- efflux at the apical pole of thyrocytes via excess I--induced ROS production and β-tubulin polymerization. Our results reveal novel insights into the role of ClC-3 in I- transport and thyroid function.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of seaweed supplementation in dairy cow diets on milk yield, basic composition, and mineral concentrations. Thirty-seven Icelandic cows were split into three diet treatments: control (CON, no seaweed), low seaweed (LSW, 0.75% concentrate dry matter (DM), 13–40 g/cow/day), and high seaweed (HSW, 1.5% concentrate DM, 26–158 g/cow/day). Cows were fed the same basal diet of grass silage and concentrate for a week, and then were introduced to the assigned experimental diets for 6 weeks. The seaweed mix of 91% Ascophyllum nodosum: 9% Laminaria digitata (DM basis), feed, and milk samples were collected weekly. Data were analyzed using a linear mixed effects model, with diet, week, and their interaction as fixed factors, cow ID as random factor, and the pre-treatment week data as a covariate. When compared with CON milk, LSW and HSW milk had, respectively, less Se (−1.4 and −3.1 μg/kg milk) and more I (+744 and +1649 μg/kg milk), while HSW milk also had less Cu (−11.6 μg/kg milk) and more As (+0.17 μg/kg milk) than CON milk. The minimal changes or concentrations in milk for Se, Cu, and As cannot be associated with any effects on consumer nutrition, but care should be taken when I-rich seaweed is fed to cows to avoid excessive animal I supply and milk I concentrations.

Abstract
Exposure to heavy metals, such as lead, is a global public health problem. Lead has a long historic relation to several adverse health conditions and was recently classified as an endocrine disruptor. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of subacute exposure to lead on the thyroid gland function. Adult male and female Wistar rats received a lead acetate solution containing 10 or 25 mg/kg, by gavage, three times a week, for 14 days. One week later, behavioral testing showed no alterations in anxiety and motor-exploratory parameters, as evaluated by Open-Field and Plus-Maze Tests, but impairment in learning and memory was found in the male 25 mg/kg lead-treated group and in both female lead-treated groups, as evaluated by the Inhibitory Avoidance Test. After one week, serum levels of tT3 were reduced in the 25 mg/kg female group and in the 10 mg∕ kg male group. However, tT4 levels were increased in the 25 mg/kg male group and in both female treated groups. TSH levels did not change and lead serum levels were undetectable. Morphologic alterations were observed in the thyroid gland, including abnormal thyroid parenchyma follicles of different sizes, epithelial stratification and vacuolization of follicular cells, decrease in colloid eosinophilia and vascular congestion, accompanied by morphometric alterations. An increase in collagen deposition was also observed. No differences were observed in TPO activity or protein expression, H2O2 generation by NADPH oxidases or hepatic D1 mRNA expression. However, thyroid NIS protein expression was considerably decreased in the male and female lead-treated groups, while TSHr expression was decreased in the 25 mg/kg female lead-treated group. These findings demonstrated that subacute exposure to lead acetate disrupts thyroid gland function in both sexes, leading to morphophysiological impairment and to changes in learning and memory abilities.

Abstract
Endemic goitre and associated iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs) are a major concern in public health even in the period of post salt iodization in many regions. Among others the consumption of cyanogenic plants found responsible for the persistence of such diseases. Bamboo shoots (BS) is one such cyanogenic plant food that caused disruption of certain thyroid hormone synthesizing regulatory element as has already been reported in our earlier study. In this investigation the possible mechanism of thyrocytes disruption along with interruption of thyroid hormone biosynthesis by BS has been worked out. Commonly consumed BS, Bambusa Balcooa Roxb (BBR) water extract was analysed by GC MS; three doses below IC50 were administered to thyrocytes in culture with and without iodine. Expressions of thyroglobulin (Tg), pendrin (PDS) and monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) were evaluated in thyrocytes with cell cycle analysis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, DNA oxidation and apoptotic regulation through Bax, Bcl-2 and p53. Phytochemical analysis of BBR extract revealed the presence of precursors and metabolic end products of cyanogenic glycosides. Dose dependent decrease in expression of Tg and PDS with concomitant decrease in gene expression of these with MCT8 were observed. Increased ROS, DNA oxidation and associated imbalance were found through increased Bax and p53 with decreased Bcl-2 that perturbed thyrocytes cell cycle. Cyanogenic constituents of BBR generates ROS associated oxidative changes in thyrocytes with DNA damage and oxidation and cell cycle disruption followed by inhibition of thyroid hormone synthesizing regulatory elements; addition of extra iodine showed partial prevention.

Abstract
Simple Summary This year marks the 80th commemoration of the first time that radio-iodide treatment (RAI) was used. RAI is one of the most effective targeted internal radiation anticancer therapies ever devised and it has been used for many decades, however, a thorough understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms involved could greatly improve the success of this therapy. This is an in-depth innovative review focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying radio-iodide therapy in thyroid cancer and how the alteration of these mechanisms affects the results in the clinic. Abstract Thyroid radio-iodide therapy (RAI) is one of the oldest known and used targeted therapies. In thyroid cancer, it has been used for more than eight decades and is still being used to improve thyroid tumor treatment to eliminate remnants after thyroid surgery, and tumor metastases. Knowledge at the molecular level of the genes/proteins involved in the process has led to improvements in therapy, both from the point of view of when, how much, and how to use the therapy according to tumor type. The effectiveness of this therapy has spread into other types of targeted therapies, and this has made sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) one of the favorite theragnostic tools. Here we focus on describing the molecular mechanisms involved in radio-iodide therapy and how the alteration of these mechanisms in thyroid tumor progression affects the diagnosis and results of therapy in the clinic. We analyze basic questions when facing treatment, such as: (1) how the incorporation of radioiodine in normal, tumor, and metastatic thyroid cells occurs and how it is regulated; (2) the pros and cons of thyroid hormonal deprivation vs. recombinant human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (rhTSH) in radioiodine residence time, treatment efficacy, thyroglobulin levels and organification, and its influence on diagnostic imaging tests and metastasis treatment; and (3) the effect of stunning and the possible causes. We discuss the possible incorporation of massive sequencing data into clinical practice, and we conclude with a socioeconomical and clinical vision of the above aspects.

Abstract
This review summarises the current state of knowledge regarding the physiology and control of production of thyroid hormones, the effects of chemicals in perturbing their synthesis and release that result in thyroid cancer. It does not consider the potential neurodevelopmental consequences of low thyroid hormones. There are a number of known molecular initiating events (MIEs) that affect thyroid hormone synthesis in mammals and many chemicals are able to activate multiple MIEs simultaneously. AOP analysis of chemical-induced thyroid cancer in rodents has defined the key events that predispose to the development of rodent cancer and many of these will operate in humans under appropriate conditions, if they were exposed to high enough concentrations of the affecting chemicals. There are conditions however that, at the very least, would indicate significant quantitative differences in the sensitivity of humans to these effects, with rodents being considerably more sensitive to thyroid effects by virtue of differences in the biology, transport and control of thyroid hormones in these species as opposed to humans where turnover is appreciably lower and where serum transport of T4/T3 is different to that operating in rodents. There is heated debate around claimed qualitative differences between the rodent and human thyroid physiology, and significant reservations, both scientific and regulatory, still exist in terms of the potential neurodevelopmental consequences of low thyroid hormone levels at critical windows of time. In contrast, the situation for the chemical induction of thyroid cancer, through effects on thyroid hormone production and release, is less ambiguous with both theoretical, and actual data, showing clear dose-related thresholds for the key events predisposing to chemically induced thyroid cancer in rodents. In addition, qualitative differences in transport, and quantitative differences in half life, catabolism and turnover of thyroid hormones, exist that would not operate under normal situations in humans.

Abstract
Bei einzelnen Schilddrüsenerkrankungen (Immunthyreopathie Morbus Basedow, Immunthyreopathie Hashimoto, Struma mit Autonomie) sollte eine übermäßige Jodzufuhr vermieden werden. Betreffend alimentärer Jodzufuhr gibt es dazu reichliches Informationsmaterial. Kuranwendungen werden zu einem breiten Indikationsspektrum eingesetzt und tragen einen wichtigen Teil zur Therapie gerade chronisch degenerativen Erkrankungen, zur Rehabilitation nach Traumen oder Tumorerkrankungen bei. Eine Jodzufuhr ist auch bei Kuranwendungen mit jodhaltigem Thermalwasser möglich, das Ausmaß der Jodzufuhr ist dabei abhängig von der Applikationsform und der Expositionsdauer. Informationsmaterial dazu ist nur spärlich in der Literatur zu finden. Der Artikel betrachtet jodhaltige Kuranwendungen aus thyreologischer Sicht im Spannungsfeld von positiven und möglichen negativen Auswirkungen einer jodhaltigen Kuranwendung. Neben einem Einblick in die Physiologie und Pathophysiologie des Jodstoffwechsels und Auswirkungen auf einzelne Schilddrüsenerkrankungen wird die Intensität einer Jodaufnahme bei unterschiedlichen Kuranwendungen dargestellt. Eine Übersicht von Kurorten/Thermen mit jodhaltigem Wasser in Österreich und seinen Nachbarstaaten ergänzt von einem Algorithmus zur Selektion von Patienten für eine Kur in Kurorten mit jodhaltigem Wasser wird präsentiert, um mögliche negative jodinduzierte Schilddrüsenfehlfunktionen schon vor Kurantritt zu vermeiden. Dem klinisch tätigen Arzt wird damit eine Unterstützung in der Entscheidungsfindung bei der Auswahl bzw. Ablehnung einer jodhaltigen Kuranwendung für seine Patienten zur Verfügung gestellt.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Bamboo shoots (BS) are consumed in various forms and used largely in naturopathy for curing ailments since ancient times to present days. It is eaten in South East Asian countries in several indigenous preparations. In north east India, it is consumed predominantly and used as natural cure to treat various diseases. Although known for its beneficial effects, adverse effects including goitrogenic/antithyroidal potential are emerging. AIM OF THE STUDY Endemic goiter exists in Manipur, India even after adequate iodine intake for consumption of BS. It is thus important to study the impact of this goitrogenic food on certain thyroid hormone synthesizing regulatory factors at cellular and molecular level in thyrocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Phytochemical analysis of BS - Bambusa balcooa Roxb (BSBR) extract conducted. IC50 of the extract on thyrocytes in culture was determined. To study the antithyroid effects of this goitrogenic food, activity status of Na+-K+-ATPase, TPO and Deiodinase, mRNA and protein expressions of NIS, TPO and PAX8 were investigated with and without extra iodine in culture media. Simultaneously ROS generation in terms of H2O2 and antioxidant status, NO, LPO were assayed. RESULTS Activities of the studied enzymes decreased depending on dose and time with increased H2O2, decreased antioxidants followed by increased NO with LPO. DNA damage and LDH also increased while mRNA and protein expression of NIS, TPO and PAX8 were downregulated. Extra iodine ameliorated all such effects partially. CONCLUSIONS Bioactive constituents of the extract imbalances oxidative status of thyrocytes impairing action of hormone synthesizing elements at cellular and molecular level.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone synthesis requires adequate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production that is utilized as an oxidative agent during the synthesis of thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid H2O2 is generated by a member of the family of NADPH oxidase enzymes (NOX-es), termed dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2). NOX/DUOX enzymes produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) as their unique enzymatic activity in a timely and spatially regulated manner and therefore, are important regulators of diverse physiological processes. By contrast, dysfunctional NOX/DUOX-derived ROS production is associated with pathological conditions. Inappropriate DUOX2-generated H2O2 production results in thyroid hypofunction in rodent models. Recent studies also indicate that ROS improperly released by NOX4, another member of the NOX family, are involved in thyroid carcinogenesis. This review focuses on the current knowledge concerning the redox regulation of thyroid hormonogenesis and cancer development with a specific emphasis on the NOX and DUOX enzymes in these processes.

Abstract
Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis. High iodine intakes are well tolerated by most healthy individuals, but in some people, excess iodine intakes may precipitate hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter, and/or thyroid autoimmunity. Individuals with preexisting thyroid disease or those previously exposed to iodine deficiency may be more susceptible to thyroid disorders due to an increase in iodine intake, in some cases at intakes only slightly above physiological needs. Thyroid dysfunction due to excess iodine intake is usually mild and transient, but iodine-induced hyperthyroidism can be life-threatening in some individuals. At the population level, excess iodine intakes may arise from consumption of overiodized salt, drinking water, animal milk rich in iodine, certain seaweeds, iodine-containing dietary supplements, and from a combination of these sources. The median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) of a population reflects the total iodine intake from all sources and can accurately identify populations with excessive iodine intakes. Our review describes the association between excess iodine intake and thyroid function. We outline potential sources of excess iodine intake and the physiological responses and consequences of excess iodine intakes. We provide guidance on choice of biomarkers to assess iodine intake, with an emphasis on the UIC and thyroglobulin.

Abstract
Single dose of potassium iodide (KI) is recommended to prevent the risk of thyroid cancer during nuclear accidents. However in the case of repeated/protracted radioiodine release, a unique dose of KI may not protect efficiently the thyroid against the risk of further developing a radiation-induced cancer. The new WHO guidelines for the use in planning for and responding to radiological and nuclear emergencies identify the need of more data on this subject as one of the four research priorities. The aims of the PRIODAC project are (1) to assess the associated side effects of repeated intakes of KI, (2) to better understand the molecular mechanisms regulating the metabolism of iodine, (3) to revise the regulatory French marketing authorization of 65-mg KI tablets and (4) to develop new recommendations related to the administration of KI toward a better international harmonization. A review of the literature and the preliminary data are presented here.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A single dose of potassium iodide (KI) is recommended to reduce the risk of thyroid cancer during nuclear accidents. However in case of prolonged radioiodine exposure, more than one dose of KI may be necessary. This work aims to evaluate the potential toxic effect of repeated administration of KI. METHODS Adult Wistar rats received an optimal dose of KI 1 mg/kg over a period of 1, 4 or 8 days. RESULTS hormonal status (TSH, FT4) of treated rats was unaffected. Contrariwise, a sequential Wolff-Chaikoff effect was observed, resulting in a prompt decrease of NIS and MCT8 mRNA expression (-58% and -26% respectively), followed by a delayed decrease of TPO mRNA expression (-33%) in conjunction with a stimulation of PDS mRNA expression (+62%). CONCLUSION we show for the first time that repeated administration of KI at 1 mg/kg/24h doesn't cause modification of thyroid hormones level, but leads to a reversible modification of the expression of genes involved in the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid iodide uptake, mediated by the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS), is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis and also for treatment of thyroid diseases, such as thyroid cancer, through radioiodine therapy. Therefore, compounds able to increase thyroid iodide uptake could be clinically useful, and it is of great importance to unravel the mechanisms underlying such an effect. It has been shown previously that the flavonoid rutin increases thyroid radioiodide uptake in vivo in rats. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms involved in the stimulatory effect of rutin on iodide uptake. METHODS This study evaluated iodide uptake, NIS expression and its subcellular distribution, iodide efflux, reactive oxygen species levels, and the intracellular pathways involved in NIS regulation in a rat thyroid PCCL3 cell line treated with rutin. RESULTS Similar to previous results found in vivo, rutin increased radioiodide uptake in PCCL3 cells, which was accompanied by increased NIS expression (at both the mRNA and protein levels) and a reduction of radioiodide efflux. Moreover, the results suggest that rutin could regulate NIS subcellular distribution, leading to higher levels of NIS at the cell membrane. In addition, rutin decreased the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species and phospho-5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase. CONCLUSIONS The flavonoid rutin seems to be an important stimulator of radioiodide uptake, acting at multiple levels, an effect that can be due to decreased oxidative stress, reduced 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase activation, or both. Since thyroid iodide uptake is crucial for effective radioiodine therapy, the results suggest that rutin could be useful as an adjuvant in radioiodine therapy.

Abstract
Thyroid hormones (TH) 3,5,3',5'- tetraiodothyronine or thyroxine (T4) and 3,5,3'- triiodothyronine (T3) contain iodine atoms as part of their structure, and their synthesis occur in the unique structures called thyroid follicles. Iodide reaches thyroid cells through the bloodstream that supplies the basolateral plasma membrane of thyrocytes, where it is avidly taken up through the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS). Thyrocytes are also specialized in the secretion of the high molecular weight protein thyroglobulin (TG) in the follicular lumen. The iodination of the tyrosyl residues of TG preceeds TH biosynthesis, which depends on the interaction of iodide, TG, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) at the apical plasma membrane of thyrocytes. Thyroid hormone biosynthesis is under the tonic control of thyrotropin (TSH), while the iodide recycling ability is very important for normal thyroid function. We discuss herein the biochemical aspects of TH biosynthesis and release, highlighting the novel molecules involved in the process.

Abstract
Our previous research has suggested that high degree of iodinated thyroglobulin (TG) may inhibit the expression and function of sodium iodide symporter (NIS), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In present study, we discuss a newly constructed follicle model in vitro, which was used to simulate the follicular structure of the thyroid and explore the regulatory roles of iodinated TG in the follicular lumen on NIS expression. The results showed that both NIS expression and PKA activity were increased in lowly iodinated TG group, while decreased NIS expression with increased PKC activity was found in highly iodinated TG group. Also, NIS expression was increased in PKA agonist-treated group, while decreased NIS was found in PKC agonist-treated group. Moreover, when the PLC-PKC pathway was blocked by PKC-specific inhibitor, highly iodinated TG significantly promoted the expression of NIS. However, when the cAMP-PKA pathway was blocked by a PKA-specific blocker, highly iodinated TG slightly suppressed NIS expression. TG with a low degree of iodination had the reverse effect on NIS. When the PLC-PKC pathway was blocked, TG with a low degree of iodination slightly promoted NIS expression. However, when the cAMP-PKA pathway was blocked, TG with a low degree of iodination greatly inhibited NIS expression. All these suggested that iodinated TG inhibited the expression of NIS by PLC-PKC pathway and promoted NIS expression via the cAMP-PKA pathway. When highly iodinated TG was present, the PLC-PKC pathway became dominant. In the presence of lowly iodinated TG, the cAMP-PKA became the major pathway.

Abstract
Iodide has direct effects on thyroid function. Several iodinated lipids are biosynthesized by the thyroid and they were postulated as intermediaries in the action of iodide. Among them, 2-iodohexadecanal (2-IHDA) has been identified and proposed to play a role in thyroid autoregulation. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of iodide and 2-IHDA on thyroid cell physiology. For this purpose, FRTL-5 thyroid cells were incubated with the two compounds during 24 or 48 h and several thyroid parameters were evaluated such as: iodide uptake, intracellular calcium and H2O2 levels. To further explore the molecular mechanism involved in 2-IHDA action, transcript and protein levels of genes involved in thyroid hormone biosynthesis, as well as the transcriptional expression of these genes were evaluated in the presence of iodide and 2-IHDA. The results obtained indicate that 2-IHDA reproduces the action of excess iodide on the "Wolff-Chaikoff" effect as well as on thyroid specific genes transcription supporting its role in thyroid autoregulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dual oxidases (Duox) are involved in hydrogen peroxide generation, which is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis, and therefore they are markers of thyroid function. During inflammation, cytokines upregulate DUOX gene expression in the airway and the intestine, suggesting a role for these proteins in innate immunity. It was previously demonstrated that interleukin-4 (IL-4) upregulates DUOX gene expression in thyrocytes. Although the role of IL-4 in autoimmune thyroid diseases has been studied extensively, the effects of IL-4 on thyroid physiology remain largely unknown. Therefore, a new animal model was generated to study the impact of IL-4 on thyroid function. METHODS Transgenic (Thyr-IL-4) mice with thyroid-targeted expression of murine IL-4 were generated. Transgene expression was verified at the mRNA and protein level in thyroid tissues and primary cultures. The phenotype of the Thyr-IL-4 animals was characterized by measuring serum thyroxine (T4) and thyrotropin levels and performing thyroid morphometric analysis, immunohistochemistry, whole transcriptome sequencing, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and ex vivo thyroid function assays. RESULTS Thyrocytes from two Thyr-IL-4 mouse lines (#30 and #52) expressed IL-4, which was secreted into the extracellular space. Although 10-month-old transgenic animals had T4 and thyrotropin serum levels in the normal range, they had altered thyroid follicular structure with enlarged follicles composed of elongated thyrocytes containing numerous endocytic vesicles. These follicles were positive for T4 staining the colloid, indicating their capacity to produce thyroid hormones. RNA profiling of Thyr-IL-4 thyroid samples revealed modulation of multiple genes involved in inflammation, while no major leukocyte infiltration could be detected. Upregulated expression of Duox1, Duoxa1, and the pendrin anion exchanger gene (Slc26a4) was detected. In contrast, the iodide symporter gene Slc5a5 was markedly downregulated resulting in impaired iodide uptake and reduced thyroid hormone levels in transgenic thyroid tissue. Hydrogen peroxide production was increased in Thyr-IL-4 thyroid tissue compared with wild-type animals, but no significant oxidative stress could be detected. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to show that ectopic expression of IL-4 in thyroid tissue upregulates Duox1/Duoxa1 and Slc26a4 expression in the thyroid. The present data demonstrate that IL-4 could affect thyroid morphology and function, mainly by downregulating Slc5a5 expression, while maintaining a normal euthyroid phenotype.

Abstract
Transcriptional mechanisms associated with iodide-induced downregulation of NIS expression remain uncertain. Here, we further analyzed the transcriptional regulation of NIS gene expression by excess iodide using PCCl3 cells. NIS promoter activity was reduced in cells treated for 12-24 h with 10(-5) to 10(-3) M NaI. Site-directed mutagenesis of Pax8 and NF-κB cis-acting elements abrogated the iodide-induced NIS transcription repression. Indeed, excess iodide (10(-3) M) excluded Pax8 from the nucleus, decreased p65 total expression and reduced their transcriptional activity. Importantly, p65-Pax8 physical interaction and binding to NIS upstream enhancer were reduced upon iodide treatment. PI3K/Akt pathway activation by iodide-induced ROS production is involved in the transcriptional repression of NIS expression. In conclusion, the results indicated that excess iodide transcriptionally represses NIS gene expression through the impairment of Pax8 and p65 transcriptional activity. Furthermore, the data presented herein described novel roles for PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and oxidative status in the thyroid autoregulatory phenomenon.

Abstract
Radiotherapy of thyroid cancer with I-131 is abrogated by inherent loss of radioiodine uptake due to loss of sodium iodide symporter (NIS) expression in poorly differentiated tumor cells. It is also known that ionizing radiation per se down-regulates NIS (the stunning effect), but the mechanism is unknown. Here we investigated whether loss of NIS-mediated iodide transport may be elicited by DNA damage. Calicheamicin, a fungal toxin that specifically cleaves double-stranded DNA, induced a full scale DNA damage response mediated by the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase in quiescent normal thyrocytes. At sublethal concentrations (<1nM) calicheamicin blocked NIS mRNA expression and transepithelial iodide transport as stimulated by thyrotropin; loss of function occurred at a much faster rate than after I-131 irradiation. KU-55933, a selective ATM kinase inhibitor, partly rescued NIS expression and iodide transport in DNA-damaged cells. Prolonged ATM inhibition in healthy cells also repressed NIS-mediated iodide transport. ATM-dependent loss of iodide transport was counteracted by IGF-1. Together, these findings indicate that NIS, the major iodide transporter of the thyroid gland, is susceptible to DNA damage involving ATM-mediated mechanisms. This uncovers novel means of poor radioiodine uptake in thyroid cells subjected to extrinsic or intrinsic genotoxic stress.

Abstract
Adequate iodide supply and metabolism are essential for thyroid hormones synthesis. In thyrocytes, iodide uptake is mediated by the sodium-iodide symporter, but several proteins appear to be involved in iodide efflux. Previous studies demonstrated that pendrin is able to mediate apical efflux of iodide in thyrocytes. Acute iodide excess transiently impairs thyroid hormone synthesis, a phenomenon known as the Wolff-Chaikoff effect. Although the escape from this inhibitory effect is not completely understood, it has been related to the inhibition of sodium-iodide symporter-mediated iodide uptake. However, the effects of iodide excess on iodide efflux have not been characterized. Herein, we investigated the consequences of iodide excess on pendrin abundance, subcellular localization, and iodide efflux in rat thyroid PCCl3 cells. Our results indicate that iodide excess increases pendrin abundance and plasma membrane insertion after 24 h of treatment. Moreover, iodide excess increases pendrin half-life. Finally, iodide exposure also increases iodide efflux from PCCl3 cells. In conclusion, these data suggest that pendrin may have an important role in mediating iodide efflux in thyrocytes, especially under conditions of iodide excess.
