A member of the iodothyronine deiodinase family is encoded by the Dio1 gene, which is designed to express itself in the Rat Dio1 stable cell line HEK293. By catalyzing the activation and inactivation of thyroid hormone through outer and inner ring deiodination, respectively, this protein plays a critical function in the metabolism of thyroid hormones. Through 5'-deiodination, the prohormone thyroxine (T4) released by the thyroid gland is changed into the bioactive thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3) during the activation phase. Dio1 is principally in charge of producing circulating T3, which is necessary for the growth, differentiation, and basal metabolism of vertebrates. Notably, the UGA codon encodes the uncommon amino acid selenocysteine (Sec), which is present at the active site of the selenoprotein Dio1. The Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, a conserved stem-loop structure found in the 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs, is essential for identifying UGA as a Sec codon. Dio1 has several transcript variants that have been found by alternative splicing. The human embryonic kidney cells that give rise to this cell line, HEK293, are widely employed in biomedical research. Adherent and simple to cultivate, HEK293 cells are usually kept under normal cell culture conditions. They have been widely used for a variety of molecular and cellular research because of their strong transfection effectiveness and genetic manipulation susceptibility.

The goal of the study was to examine the regulatory pathways that underlie the biological effects of thyroxine (T4). Because type 1 iodothyronine deiodinase (Dio1) is highly expressed in the liver, special attention was paid to this enzyme. They investigated the function of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α) in transcriptional regulation using the Dio1 cell line. Their research showed that the livers of HNF4α-null mice had significantly lower levels of Dio1 mRNA and enzyme activity, which led to higher serum concentrations of T4 and reverse T3 (rT3) but not T3. The transcriptional activation of the mouse Dio1 gene is significantly influenced by HNF4α, as confirmed by promoter analysis. Additionally, they showed that the HNF4α response element (HNF4α-RE) and the thyroid hormone-inducible Krüppel-like factor 9 (KLF9) effectively stimulate the mouse Dio1 promoter through two CACCC sequences. Furthermore, it was discovered that the synergistic activation of the Dio1 promoter required physical interactions between KLF9, HNF4α, and GATA4, indicating an indirect regulatory mechanism of Dio1 by thyroid hormone in mice. Together, these data imply that HNF4α, in cooperation with GATA4 and KLF9, transcriptionally modulates the mouse Dio1 gene to regulate thyroid hormone homeostasis.

Figure 1 shows that Dio1 is a direct transcriptional target gene of HNF4alpha. This relationship was verified by analyzing the structure and function of the mouse Dio1 promoter and the regulatory effect of HNF4alpha in HEK293 and HepG2 cells. (doi: 10.1128/MCB.02154-07)Figure 1. The researchers subcloned the DNA fragment containing the 5'-FR of the mouse Dio1 gene into the pGL3 basic vector and transfected HEK293 and HepG2 cells to determine whether HNF4α can activate the Dio1 promoter.

1. Thyroid Hormone Metabolism: Responsible for the growth and metabolism of vertebrates, this enzyme catalyzes the activation (from T4 to T3) and inactivation of thyroid hormones. 2. Gene Expression Studies: Dio1 gene and selenoprotein functions studied in Rat Dio1 stable cell line HEK293. 3. Biochemical Research: Makes it possible to conduct studies on the production of bioactive T3 through the 5'-deiodination process. 4. Transfection and Genetic Manipulation: Molecular and cellular biology research is facilitated by the high transfection efficiency of HEK293 cells. 5. Alternative Splicing Analysis: Makes it easier to examine Dio1 transcript variations produced by different splicing processes.
Customer Q&As
Is Dio1 expression stable in this cell line? Will there be any changes after long-term culture or multiple passages?

A: Rat Dio1 Stable Cell Line-HEK293 has been tested for multiple passages and the expression of Dio1 remains stable. We conducted multiple passage experiments to verify the expression level of Dio1 through qPCR and Western Blot, and the results showed no significant changes.

What is the verification method for Dio1 expression? Can you provide specific experimental data?

A: We used qPCR and Western Blot to verify the expression of Dio1. The qPCR results showed that there was no significant difference in the expression levels of Dio1 mRNA in different passages. Western Blot results also showed that the expression level of Dio1 protein in each passage was consistent. Detailed experimental data and maps can be provided.

What types of experiments is this cell line suitable for? Has it been functionally verified?

A: Rat Dio1 Stable Cell Line-HEK293 is suitable for thyroid hormone metabolism research, drug screening and related physiological function research. Functional validation included thyroid hormone deiodinase activity assays, which showed that Dio1 has the expected enzymatic activity in these processes. We also conducted relevant thyroid hormone level measurement experiments to confirm its functionality.
