Impaired oxidative endoplasmic reticulum stress response caused by deficiency of thyroid hormone receptor α.
Thyroid hormone receptor α (TRα) is critical to postnatal pancreatic β-cell maintenance. To investigate the association between TRα and the survival of pancreatic β-cells under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, the expression of endogenous TRα was inhibited by infection with an adenovirus expressing double-stranded short hairpin RNA against TRα (AdshTRα). In control adenovirus-infected pancreatic β-cells, palmitate enhanced the expression of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and heme oxygenase 1, which facilitates adaptation to oxidative ER stress. However, in AdshTRα-infected pancreatic β-cells, palmitate did not induce ATF4-mediated integrated stress response, and oxidative stress-associated apoptotic cell death was significantly enhanced. TRα-deficient mice or wild-type mice (WT) were fed a high fat diet (HFD) for 30 weeks, and the effect of oxidative ER stress on pancreatic β-cells was analyzed. HFD-treated TRα-deficient mice had high blood glucose levels and low plasma insulin levels. In HFD-treated TRα-deficient mice, ATF4 was not induced, and apoptosis was enhanced compared with HFD-treated WT mice. Furthermore, the expression level of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, an oxidative stress marker, was enhanced in the β-cells of HFD-treated TRα-deficient mice. These results indicate that endogenous TRα plays an important role for the expression of ATF4 and facilitates reduced apoptosis in pancreatic β-cells under ER stress.
