title: Direct evidence for ATP consumption due to iodide uptake by isolated, uncultured, pig thyroid epithelial cells.
abstract: The concept that iodide uptake by thyroid requires a supply of ATP is currently accepted. However, there is little direct evidence that the extents of iodide uptake and ATP consumption are correlated. To demonstrate this correlation, we used isolated, uncultured pig thyroid epithelial cells in basal media containing only glucose and the cations necessary for Na+,K(+)-ATPase, which prevented other possible cellular activities requiring ATP. The isolated cells were sensitive to various metabolic inhibitors of ATP-generating systems, confirming that they were intact. The extents of increase in iodide uptake and decrease in ATP content of the cells were entirely dependent on the presence of the cations, and were closely correlated with each other. Furthermore, the ATP content was not reduced in the absence of NaI, even when all necessary cations for the ATPase were present. These findings provide direct evidence for a correlation between the extents of iodide uptake and ATP consumption. Cells in medium with Mg alone did not show iodide incorporation or ATP consumption, confirming that Mg2(+)-dependent ATPase does not contribute to iodide uptake by the thyroid.
