Type 1 deiodinase (D1) catalyses deiodination of tyroxine (T4), which leads either to synthesis of triiodothyronine or reverse triiodothyronine (rT3). Triiodothyronine (T3) regulates the expression of many tumour suppressor genes and oncogenes. We previously revealed that the expression of the whole pool of D1 transcripts was dramatically lowered in ccRCC tissues. One of the mechanism resulting in this aberration could be miRNA-mediated repress...

Introduction: Type 1 iodothyronine deiodinase (DIO1) is one of the three enzymes regulating bioavailability of thyroid hormones. In contrast to DIO2 and DIO3, the specific cellular role of DIO1 remains controversial. Our previous studies showed that DIO1 expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is decreased, followed by lowered intracellular T3 concentration. In this study we explored how re-introduction of DIO1 in ccRCC cells affects their mig...
