Iodide uptake by the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) in thyrocytes is essential for thyroid hormone production. Reduced NIS activity has been reported in thyroid diseases, including thyroid cancer and congenital hypothyroidism. The study of iodide uptake in thyrocytes has been limited by the availability of appropriate in vitro models, A new culture technique was recently developed that allows normal human thyroid primary culture cells to grow as monolayer cells and express differentiated functions for more than 3 months. We used this technique to study the effect of follicle formation and TSH on iodide uptake in these cells. Iodide uptake by the cells grown in monolayer was very low. Follicle formation was induced from monolayer cells, and electron micrographs demonstrated cell polarity in the follicles. No significant increase in iodide uptake was observed after TSH treatment of cells in monolayer or when follicle formation was induced without TSH. TSH stimulation of follicles, however, significantly increased iodide uptake (similar to4.4-fold; P
