Background:
Mutations in TBL1X, part of the NCoR1/SMRT corepressor complex, were identified in patients with hereditary X-linked central congenital hypothyroidism and associated hearing loss. The role of TBL1X in thyroid hormone (TH) action, however, is incompletely understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of TBL1X on T3 regulated gene expression in two human liver cell models.
Methods:
A human hepatoma cell line (HepG2) wherein TBL1X was down regulated using siRNAs, and human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes (iHeps) generated from individuals with a TBL1X N365Y mutation. Both cell types were treated with increasing concentrations of T3. The expression of T3 regulated genes was measured by qPCR.
Results:
KLF9, CPT1A and PCK1 mRNA expression was higher upon T3 stimulation in the HepG2 cells with decreased TBL1X expression compared to controls, while DIO1 mRNA expression was lower. Hemizygous TBL1X N365Y iHeps exhibited decreased expression of CPT1A, G6PC1, PCK1, FBP1 and ELOVL2 compared to cells with the heterozygous TBL1X N365Y, but KLF9 and HMGCS2 expression was unaltered.
Conclusion:
Downregulation of TBL1X in HepG2 cells and the TBL1X N365Y variant in iHeps have differential effects on T3 regulated gene expression. This suggests that TBL1X may play a gene context role in thyroid hormone TH action.
