This process is regulated by thyroid hormone (T3) via its receptors, T3 receptor (TR) α and TRβ during anuran metamorphosis. Here, we used intestinal remodeling during Xenopus tropicalis metamorphosis, which serves as a model for human postembryonic development, to identify TR-bound genes and determine the relative contribution to target gene binding by TRα and TRβ. We first examined the localization of TRα and TRβ mRNA during metamorphosis in Xenopus tropicalis and found that TRα was broadly expressed in the intestinal tissues from premetamorphosis to the end of metamorphosis, while TRβ was expressed at low levels during premetamorphosis but was upregulated at the climax of metamorphosis when intestinal stem cells are formed and proliferate. Interestingly, both TR genes were co-expressed in different cell types, including stem cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq analyses of the intestine from wild type, TRα- or TRβ-knockout premetamorphic tadpoles treated with or without T3 for 18 h identified many TR-bound genes and revealed the effects of individual TR knockout on the binding of target genes by TR. We found that individual TR knockout reduced both the number of TR-bound genes and the extent of TR binding to target genes with TRα knockout had a much more dramatic effect than TRβ knockout. On the other hand, the TR-bound genes were largely common among the three genotypes. These findings suggest that both TRα and TRβ contribute to target binding with TRα having a bigger contribution in premetamorphic intestine.</p>","PeriodicalId":12582,"journal":{"name":"General and comparative endocrinology","volume":" ","pages":"114645"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142727500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They were relatively conserved throughout phylogenetic evolution. Differently, the C-terminal region of the <em>Rbpms2.1</em> contains five additional sequential amino acids (–VRDQP–) compared to <em>Rbpms2.2</em>. The real-time qPCR results demonstrated that <em>Rbpms2.1</em> and <em>Rbpms2.2</em> had relatively abundant expression in the gonads of adult Japanese flounder, with higher expression levels in the ovary compared to the testis (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). <em>In situ</em> hybridization results showed strong positive expression of <em>Rbpms2</em> mRNA in oocytes at stages I-III during the V stage of ovarian development. In the testis at<!--> <!-->stage IV, the expression of <em>Rbpms2</em> mRNA was mainly concentrated on primary spermatocytes. Importantly, <em>Rbpms2</em> binding sites were found in the 3′UTR, 5′UTR, and ORF regions of the sex-related genes including <em>dmrt1</em>, <em>sox9</em>, <em>amh</em>, <em>foxl2</em>, and <em>wnt4</em>. siRNA interference and overexpression analysis of <em>Rbpms2.1</em> and <em>Rbpms2.2</em> in primary cells of the ovary and testis showed that <em>Rbpms2</em> can repress the expression of male-related genes (<em>dmrt1</em>, <em>sox9</em>, and <em>amh</em>) and significantly promote the expression of female-related genes (<em>foxl2</em> and <em>wnt4</em>). Our results revealed that <em>Rbpms2</em> may play a critical role by targeting the sex-related genes in the gonad development of Japanese flounder.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12582,"journal":{"name":"General and comparative endocrinology","volume":"359 ","pages":"Article 114628"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142444725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
