Type 2 deiodinase (D2) and type 3 deiodinase (D3) locally achieve the determination of the concentration of T-3, which binds to the thyroid hormone receptor with high affinity. D2 converts T-4 into T-3, and D3 degrades T-4 and T-3. Neurons take up T-3 released by astrocytes, the main cerebral site for the D2 expression. Because oxidative stress is believed to be involved in several neurological disorders, we explored the effects of oxidative stress on D3 and D2 in primary culture of rat astrocytes. H2O2 (250 mu M) increased D3 activity with maximal effects around 8 h. Stimulation of D3 activity by H2O2 was synergistic with T-4, phorbol ester, and also cAMP. H2O2 (250 mu M) did not affect basal D2 activity but inhibited the stimulation of D2 activity by cAMP and factors implicating cAMP-independent pathways in astrocytes, TSH, and phorbol ester. N-Acetyl cysteine and selenium repletion, which respectively increase intracellular glutathione and glutathione peroxidase, inhibited D2 and D3 regulation by H2O2, whereas L-buthionine sulfoximine, which decreases intracellular glutathione, mimicked H2O2 effects. Oxidative stress up-regulated D3 and inhibited cAMP-stimulated D2 by transcriptional mechanisms. A decrease in cAMP by oxidative stress could contribute to the inhibition of cAMP-stimulated D2. Using specific inhibitors of signaling pathways, we show that the ERK pathway was required in D2 and D3 regulation by oxidative stress and that the p38 MAPK pathway was implicated in H2O2-induced D3. We suggest that the expected decrease in T-3 might modulate the cellular injury of oxidative stress in some pathological brain conditions.
