title: Hydrogen peroxide inhibits iodide influx and enhances iodide efflux in cultured FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells.
abstract: This study describes the effects of hydrogen peroxide on the two iodide transport systems, I influx and I efflux, in the cultured FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells. I influx was measured by the amount of I taken up by the cells during incubation with Na125I and NaI for 7 min, and I efflux was measured by calculating the rate of 125I release from the 125I-loaded cells in the presence and absence of 5 mmol/l H2O2. Exposure to greater than 100 mumol/l H2O2 for 40 min caused a significant inhibition of I influx; the inhibition was reversible and non-competitive with iodide. Thyroid Na+K+ ATPase activity, a major mechanism to drive I influx, decreased by 40% after the cells were exposed to 5 mmol/l H2O2 for 10 min. H2O2 enhanced I efflux only when Ca2+ was present in the medium. The mechanism of an enhanced I efflux by H2O2 appears to be mediated through the elevation of free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. Our data indicate that H2O2 can affect I transport by inhibiting I influx and enhancing I efflux.
