ObjectiveA unique clinical course was observed in a patient with resistance to thyroid hormone β (RTHβ) caused by a variant of theTHRBgene leading to the replacement of glycine with arginine in codon 347 (p.G347R). He presented with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of thyrotropin (TSH) (free T4 [fT4]: 32.43 pmol/L, TSH: 4.67 mIU/L), but slowly developed progressive hypothyroidism (fT4: 8.37 pmol/L, TSH: 100.90 mIU/L) that resolved after suspending bezafibrate (BZ) treatment (fT4: 32.18 pmol/L, TSH: 7.14 mIU/L). This study clinically and experimentally evaluated this interesting phenomenon.MethodsA retrospective cohort analysis of non‐RTHβ patients was performed at Kyoto University Hospital. Data before BZ treatment were compared to the first data after treatment. Using reporter assays of iodothyronine deiodinases (DIO1,DIO2,DIO3) in HEK293T cells, we performed functional analyses of mutant thyroid hormone receptor β with p.G347R (G347R TRβ). Mice with G347R TRβ were generated by hydrodynamic gene delivery.ResultsIn non‐RTHβ patients (n= 7), BZ treatment did not change serum free T3 and TSH but significantly increased fT4 (p= .008). BZ administration increasedDIO3reporter activity in the context of G347R TRβ, whereas did not changeDIO1andDIO2reporter activity. In the livers of mice with G347R TRβ, BZ administration increased reverse T3 content, which corresponded to an increase inDio3messenger RNA.ConclusionsWhile hypothyroidism associated with BZ treatment did not occur in non‐RTHβ patients, it was observed in a patient with RTHβ due to the p.G347R variant. LiverDIO3upregulation might involve this hypothyroidism.
