Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis increases when uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) is activated adrenergically and requires T-3. In humans, UCP1 activation in BAT seems involved in body weight maintenance. BAT type 2 deiodinase (D2) increases in response to adrenergic agents, producing the T-3 required for UCP1 expression. T-3 actions are mediated by thyroid hormone nuclear T-3 receptors (TR), TR alpha and TR beta. Studies in mice suggest that TR beta is required for UCP1 induction, whereas TR alpha regulates body temperature and adrenergic sensitivity. In the present study, we compare the effects of T-3 vs. specific TR beta 1 and TR alpha 1 agonists [GC-1 and CO23] on the adrenergic induction of UCP1 and D2 in cultured rat brown adipocytes. T-3 and GC-1 produced similar increases on UCP1, whereas CO23 increased UCP1 only at high doses (50 nM). GC-1 at low doses (0.2-10 nM) was less potent than T-3, increasing the adrenergic stimulation of D2 activity and mRNA. At higher doses, GC-1 further stimulated whereas T-3 inhibited D2 activity but not D2 mRNA, suggesting posttranscriptional effects. CO23 had no effect on D2 activity but increased D2 mRNA. T-3, GC-1, or CO23 by themselves did not increase UCP1 or D2 mRNA. High T-3 doses shortened D2 half-life and increased D2 turnover via proteasome, whereas GC-1 did not change D2 stability. The alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenergic D2 responses increased using high T-3 doses. In summary, T-3 increases the adrenergic stimulation of UCP1 and D2 expression mostly via the TR beta 1 isoform, and in brown adipocytes, D2 is protected from degradation by the action of T-3 on TR beta 1.
