title: Thyroglobulin gene activation by thyrotropin and cAMP in hormonally depleted FRTL-5 thyroid cells.
abstract: Thyroglobulin gene control by cAMP and thyrotropin has been compared in FRTL-5 thyroid cells maintained in the absence of serum, insulin, cortisol, and thyrotropin for 7 days. Readdition of thyrotropin induces an increase in the expression of the thyroglobulin gene with little effect on total RNA synthesis. In contrast, addition of 8-bromo cyclic AMP and cholera toxin stimulate total RNA synthesis as well as thyroglobulin gene expression. The same non-selective effect of cyclic AMP on the thyroglobulin gene was observed when transcriptional activity was measured in permeabilized FRTL-5 cells.
